Dedication of Camp Roosevelt
Feature - Rousing Campfire in
Evening.

Washington, Oct. THE thirty
sixth encampment of the Grand Arm,
of the Republic began most auspi
ciOusly yesterday. A clear blue SIX,
and beautifully decorated city, Will
a welcome from a hospitable people
gave promise of joyful reunion. The
streets were early the scene Of grea
activity, and on all hands could bt
heard the prediction that the en-
campment was to be a success.
The city with its lavish decorations
never looked more attractive than yes
terday. There scarcely is a building
on the principal streets that is moi
festooned with the national colors.
The program for yesterday included
an automobile parade, a regatta or
the Potomac, the dedication OF
Camp Roosevelt, a monster campfire
at convention hall and a grand dis
play of fireworks at night.
Camp Roosevelt Dedicated.
The dedication of Camp Roosevelt
occurred yesterday afternoon. Fol
lowing prayer by Rev. w G. Daven-
port, District Commissioner Mcfarland
delivered an address Of welcome. Sec
rotary Hay came next. He was APP
plauded at frequent intervals of his
speech. When the cheers which sue
ceeded Hays speech subsidized Com
mander-in-C Chief Torrance responded
to the words of welcome.
He spoke warmly Of the reception.
Referring to the fact that the ex-
soldiers of 1851 had disappointed the
predictions of European publicists
that they would be a menace to the
peace of the country, he declared that
there never had been the least
danger. we were good soldiers be-
cause we had been good citizens" he
said. 1--WE had been made good at
our own firesides and there never has
been the least reason to apprehend
harm to our national institutions be-
cause of our soldiery."
He closed with the expression Of
desire of the old soldiers for the pros
perity and perpetuity of the republic.
Secretary Moody spoke for Secre-
tary Root, who was detained by of
fetal business. Mr.. Moody expressed
regret that the shallowness of the
Potomac prevented the bringing of
some specimens of the new navy to
Washington for the inspection of old
soldiers. and dwelt for a few moments
on the inspiration the example OF the
heroes of 1865 had been to the sol
diers OF the present day.
Governor Bliss of Michigan spoke
briefly. B. F. Bingham, commander
of the department of the Potomac, de
livered a welcoming address in be-
half of the local Grand Army. A fine
specimen of the national colors was
unfurled from a tall pole surrounding
the platform, and with the firing of
national salute the exercises closed.
Five thousand veterans and their
friends last night participated in the
campfire. The ceremonies were
opened by medley of patriotic airs
by the United States Marine band, fol-
lowed by songs, speeches and music
which stirred the veterans to unbound
ed enthusiasm. General Torrance was
the principal speaker

public history That a su11cinet number
OF pledges was secured to do this, but
owing to failures and deaths. these
pledges fell short several thousand doll
lars Again, the friends of the Associa-
ton were giving heavily to the special
fund, and therefore felt unable TO con-
tinue their annual contributions Thus
in fifteen months a shortage of three
thousand dollars was faced. To have
prevented this would have meant the
closing of the building, which would have
been n greater calamity than the debt.
In the fall Of 1855 the present admins
tration took hold OF a work in bad
times, running behind on its current ex-
penses, with building seriously out OF
