 This meeting was even more largely attended than the reunion of the Twen- ty-seventh Wednesday, there being over 125 present.
 The day was a magnificent one or the shore, and a prettier spot than the Colonial Inn could hardly have beer selected. After the dinner the mem-
 bers and the friends present brought
 out chairs and settees and enjoyed the
 programme and the cool sea breeze al
 the same time. The platform for the
 speakers and entertainers was the spa
 cious porch of the inn, and from there
 the speakers listened to a fine pro-
 gramme arranged by General E. s.
 Greeley and the officers of the associa-
 tion.
 As is the custom at such reunions,
 there was business meeting previous
 to the dinner, at which officers were
 elected, reports were heard and other
 business was transacted. The meeting
 was presided over by General Goodyear
 and the officers elected were as fol- lows:
 President-General Goodyear, of
 North Haven.
 First vice president-Joseph Reuff, of
 New York.
 Second vice president-Thomas F. Southergill.

 Whittlesey.
 Executive ommittee-General D. D. s. Goodyear, John w. Brooks, l.. B. Brown, Fl. T. Peck and Jerome Downes.
 The retiring president is Corporal Norton, of New York, who was unable to be present.
 At the conclusion of the meeting the members strolled around the place for a time, and at 1;30 they sat down to a fine dinner especially prepared by Landlord Templeton. All the good things of the season were included in the menu which was most satisfac- tory one.
 The special guests of the regiment yesterday were General F. A. Osborn. Colonel Edmunds and Major Strong, all of the Twenty fourth Massachusetts, and they were invited by General E. s. Greeley, who was also there. Another guest present was John De Morgan, of the old First Connecticut Light bat tery.
 The men of the Tenth Connecticut and the Twenty fourth Massa chusetts have met many times before, as they were brigaded during the whole war and they fought side by side for three years The meeting of the old fighters yesterday was enjoyable and many thrilling times were recalled. The First Connecticut Light battery, under the of Captain Griswold, was the artillery for the two regiments during the campaign, and in that way MT. De Morgan and Captain Griswold were not total strangers at the gathering yester- day
