The reunion committee of the Grant
Army encampment held a meeting last
night at C. a. R. headquarters for the
purpose of considering the question OF
tents, in which reunion meetings will
be held during encampment week. The
meeting was largely attended. the chair
man Of each corps being present to rep
resent his division of the Grand Army
of the Republic.
At the last encampment a certain
number of large tents was provided for
the purpose of holding reunion meetings,
but the number was found to be made
qrate and so the matter was brought up
this year in order to provide enough
room for these meetings.
In view of the fact that the program
committee at its next meeting. two
weeks hence. will make a full report of
the program of the reunion. it was de-
oided to wait until the report could be
made before taking any action regarding
tents.
