 The thirty ninth annual reunion of the Tenth c. V. association will take place to-day at savin Rock. The busi- ness meeting will be held at the Savin Rock theater, opening at 11;30, with General D. s. Greeley, president, in the chair. The reunion will be large one, and will be all the more interesting, as many of the veterans will bring their wives and children and friends Tal- ented friends of the association will be present, and no doubt assist in the -prandial exercises. The dinner will be served at Wilcox's restaurant.
 Following is a good synopsis of the history of the Tenth c. w., taken from the address of Corporal Lewis B.. Brown, delivered June IS, 1905, at the dedication of the Soldiers monument on Broadway, this city:
 To be selected to speak for and rep resent the old Tenth Connecticut with its grand record of service and sacri- flee, on an occasion of this kind, is an honor of which any man may well be proud; but to attempt bo give even 8 partial history of the heroic deeds and terrible sufferings of such a regiment in the short time at my disposal, is simply impossible.
 The regiment was mustered into the service of the United States at Hart ford, September 30 1861, and immedi- ately sent to the front, taking part in the famous Burnside expeditions-the experiences of which during that terri ble storm off Hatteras will never be forgotten; then followed the battle of Roanoke Island Tn this their first bap- tism of blood, the regiment fought like veterans, losing its gallant colonel, Charles L. Russell, and fifty-six of it's bravest from the right wing-the heaviest loss of any regiment engaged. Again, at Newborn, the regiment dis tinguished itself for steadiness and ef- ficiency under fire, losing twenty-seven killed and wounded. At Kingston, De- cember 14, 1862, the regiment, on ac- count of its shattered condition, was held in reserve, until several regiments had attempted to carry the enemy's po- sition at the bridge over the Mouse riv- CT, defended by a brigade of infantry and a four gun battery on hill, and were repulsed Then the Tenth was pushed to the front, passing on its way an entire brigade, and charging over two regiments lying down in line of battle. drove the enemy from it's po- sition, carried the bridge, captured five hundred prisoners and eleven pieces of artillery. with loss of 106 killed and wounded.
 After this battle, General J. c. Fos- ter of the regular army, in command of the departmental North Carolina, said that if he had one army corps of such troops as the Tenth Connecticut, he could sweep the whole country from the Potomac to the Mississippi
 The regiment also took a prominent part in the seige of Charleston, being under fire from July IS to October 25, I863-continuously under fire making the celebrated midnight attack on Fort Sumter, and in all of it's fifty-one bat ties from Roanoke to Appotomatox, re- cetving the commendation of the gen. erals under whom it served. After Appotomatox, at Richmond, Va, June 16, 1865, the regiment was presented through it's colonel now our president, General E. S. Greeley, with a beauti- ful bronze eagle, to be placed upon the staff of It's national colors as mark nf special distinction, bearing this in acription.
 "Presented to the Tenth Connect
 icut Volunteers by Major General
 John Gibbon, U. s. A., commanding
 the Twenty fourth Army Corps,
 for gallant conduct in the assault
 on Fort Gregg, Petersburg, April ?,
 1865"
 No word from me can tell the story Of this noted regiment better than the official record of the war department Tota number of men on It's rolls. 1776 Total number of casualties. ..... 1,011 Total number of engagements. 51
 This briefly is the record of one of the organizations from our state. We glory in it's record and are proud of every man who bore a part in that glorious struggle for humanity and the rights of man.
