Big Washington Contingent Leaves
This Afternoon for the Battle
field of Civil War.
ALL ARRANGEMENTS MADE

The thirty-sixth annual reunion of the
Army OF the Potomac will be held at
Manassas. commencing tomorrow at s
Il. m.
a special train over the Southern
railroad Will leave at 3:45 o'clock this
afternoon, to convey the Washington
contingent TO the site of that memorial
battlefield.
Brig. Gen. Horatio C. King has per-
fected all arrangements for making the
reunion a success, and to commemorate
the last march OF that army from Apo
mattox across the field of Bull Run on
the way to the Grand Review.
II was on that march that the Army
OF the Potomac became SO deeply i'm
pressed by the memories of the field
where they took their first lessons in
war, that they marked the historic
spots with crude monuments, which
were dedicated with imposing cere-
monies to the memory of their broth
ers who fell in The beginning Of the
ecnfiict. II is an interesting fact that
this battlefield was the only one marked
by the soldiers themselves before they
went To their homes
