Reception at Convention Hall
Last Night.
MANY VETERANS THERE
TWO CABINET MEMBERS AD-
DRESS THE GATHERING.
Secretary Root Praises the Good Feel
ing That Followed the Period
of Strife.
MANY VETERANS THERE

This is purely informal affair and
every one is expected to have good time,
was the announcement made to the thou
sand and more veterans assembled last
night in Convention Hall The occasion was
the reception rendered the delegates to the
Grand Army encampment by the citizens of
the District of Columbia. That the spirit
of the announcement was fully appreciated
by the large crowd was evidenced by the
signs Of enjoyment noticed on every hand.
There were speeches by Secretary of War
Root, Postmaster General Payne, General
Burdett and others; there was music by the
military band from Fort Myer, and, to add
to the merrfment, there was an old Virginia
cakewalk, participated in by seven colored
couples. All this was supplemented by an
immense quantity of good things to eat,
and liquid refreshment was by means
lacking.
The patriotic decorations of the large
hall were in keeping with the blue uni
the assembly The American flag was
everywhere noticeable about the room, and
corps and state emblemS formed a pleasing
feature of the decorations.
The evenings program was rather of an
informal nature. and the old soldiers were
given sufficient opportunity to discuss mat
tiers of interest to them. Here and there
about the hall the members of the Grand
candidates for the positions in the national
organization. The cities suggested as meet
ing places for the next annual encampment
also received attention from the old soldiers.
and not a little praise was heard regarding
the hospitality of Washington citizens as
exemplified in the arrangements for the
present large reunion. War experiences
were recounted and stories We're exchanged
by many of those present and the evening
was devoted to enjoyment in accordance
with the wish of the individual.
The arrangements for the reception were
in charge of the committee on entertain
ment, of which Gen. s. s. Burdett Of this
city, past commander-in-che of the G. A.
R., is chairman.
Gen. Burdett's Address.
Following several selections by the band
Gen. Burdett mounted the platform and ad-
dressed the veterans in part as follows:
This is purely an Informal affair and
there are no reserved seats or reserved priv
ilegeS. Everything in this hall is yours
The purpose of this reception is to recog-
niZe the fact that you members of the
Grand Army of the Republic are here in
the city, and to show some specific recog-
milton of your presence This is the tribute
that the citizens of Washington pay to Won
the members of the G. A. r. encampment
