The committee on horses and car
riages TO be furnished veterans and
other visitors to the thirty-siXth an
nual encampment of the Grand Army of
the Republic held meeting yesterday
afternoon at 1872 New York Avenue.
Capt. Allison Nailor is chairman of the
committee, but as he is in Europe Mr.
Harrison Dingman was the acting chair
man yesterday afternoon.
Preceding the meeting an interview
was held with representatives of the
Liverymen's Association, which had
been requested by Captain Nailor to put
its terms for hire in writing. The as
sociation was represented by Mr.. w. W.
Chambers, its president, and other
prominent members. The association
has put its terms for the hire of sad
die horse and bride AT 81. price which
they concede reasonable and within the
reach OF everybody.
In view of the fact that horses are
more valuable now than previously and
that feed has increased i'll price the as
sociation declares that it would be
great loss to them to furnish horses for
less than the price named. This, how
ever. is not binding in any way. There
is no contract or any measure which will
prevent different liverymen from fur
nishing their horses for less 10 the COM
mittee or to individuals if they so de-
sire, and it is not unlikely that they
will If occasion and circumstances re-
quire such an arrangement.
In making its statement, the committee
representing the association declared
that it had made every endeavor TO IA
vor the encampment committee. The
latter Is perfectly satisfied that they
have been generously dealt with. Dur
ing the meeting yesterday it was sug
gested that the committee on horses and
carriages should communicate with liv-
erymen in Baltimore and other nearby
cities for the purpose of making better
arrangements If possible. but it is hard
ly likely that this will be done.
At the last encampment the charge
for horses was SIS. On the day OF the
parade that meant an entire days hire.
as the line was formed at $3.50 and the
men were in saddle until o'clock.
