Tooth Illinois infantry was the best
represented, having So members here.
There were 80 colored troops. l. light
ARTILLERY. 172 cavalry and 075 infant
ry registered.
The entertainment of the encamp-
ment turned out to be a proposition
of such greater magnitude than antic-
ipated that the finance committee
finds itself called upon to meet ex-
penses that were not figured on be-
forehand. and it is not only neces-
sary that subscriptions be paid imme-
diately. but it may be there will be
calls for additional subscriptions. How
ever. no complaint on this score is
looked for. as all are delighted with
the success of the event and are will
ing To do anything reasonable to-
ward bearing the expense.
