Otcy Battery.

The survivors of this orsanzati ton have
been in the habit of celebrating their an
nlversary on the 10th of June, of each
year. ever since the war, at the Old Pump
House.
But the inability of the nonresident
members to attend these pleasant occa-
s!ons has suggested that they viii have
an extra reunion next Thursday. Feb
ruary ed, al Murphy's Hotel. The BAN
quet will commence PROMPTLY at Z. NJ.
Fifteen nonresident members have sig
rified their purpose to attend. and every
resident member is certainly expected to
be on hand.
This meeting in no way interferes with
the 10th Of June celebration.
