Marking Historic Spots.
In connection with the coming reunion
of the Society of the Army of the Potomac
at Manassas Wednesday and Thursday. it
is announced to all who participa ted in the
battles of Bull Run that Prof Henry has
agreed that any regimental association
may denote by markers the location of their
regiments on the Henry farm. and it has
been suggested that at the coming reunion
the veterans should make 1t a point to set
up markers of some kind One of the con-
ditions made is that all permanent markers
for the first battle should be twelve inches
square, and not over three feet high and
those in the second battle eight inches by
sixteen. The reason for this is in order
that the positions and lines in the two
battles on the same ground should not be
confused. Those who have read the an
nouncements made for the reunion know
that the exercises Wednesday will be at
Manassas and Thursday at the Henry
farm. y
The members of the Society of the Army
of the Potomac wearing the badge of that
society will be admitted to the farm with
out fee and will be entertained by the cit
liens of Manassas and Prince William
county at an old-fashioned picnic Those
who wish to go to the battlefield on Thurs
day from Washington should take the cars
from Washington at T:35 am. If they dis
embark a Manassas they Will have TO take
conveyances six miles to the battlefield.
If they remain on the Harrisonburg tran
and diselnb bark at Wellington, they only
about a mile from Groveton and two miles
from the Henry House. Those who prefer
to tramp it are advised to go via yelling
