The list of those organization that
have already completed arrangements
for the coming 10 the thirty-siXth an
nual cncampment OF the Grand Army
OF the Republic TO be held in this city
from October 6 to II next, as given out
Yesterday by Secretary Barry Bulkley, of
the citizens executive committee, has
awakened an added interest IN the i'm
-portance OF that gathering. and directed
attention to the necessity OF renewed ac-
tivity on the part Of the citizens Of the
city to make the gathering 4 success.
Chairman NJ. 1. Weller. of the COM
mittee on public comfort. has repeatedly
urged the Importance OF every energy
being cxerted in preparing for the crowd
that is already arranging to come to The
city, and which, in view of his past ex-
perience, he asserts, will tax the capac-
ity OF the city as it has never been
been taxed before. He feels so certain
that there will not be room for all who
desire to remain here that he is pre-
pairing a list of available accommoda-
tons in the surrounding towns and cit
les. as far away as Baltimore, where
he expects to quarter quite a number
OF those who will visit the encampment
Work Well in Hand.
For several months he has been bus
lily at work. and now has all prepara-
tiors we'll in hand. He has been a.
ticularly pleased at the absence of in
tention on the part of the proprietors
CT hotels and boarding houses to at
tempt eXtortion upon the visitors, and in
every instance he is assuring inquirers
that rates here during the encampment
will be remarkably low for such a gath
ering. He is especially desirous of in
ducing the occupants of private houses
to throw open their doors TO suitable
applicants during the crowded period.
