Great Crowd Expected.
Captain David A Brown. chairman
Of the entertainment committee, insists
that the crowd Of veterans at the great
gathering Of "Johnny Rebs' Will NUM-
Der least 10000 or %, 900
Many OF Captain Browns associates
insist that no is too optimistic. and
that his figures are considerably out
of tho way but he firmly holds his
ground. He says, however, that he
does not expect this number OF eX-
Confederates to take part in the two
parades, as a considerable proportion
or the visitors will be men too far
advanced in years to stand much ply
slcal exertlon.
CAPTAIN Brown bases his calculations
not alone on tho scores of letters he
is receiving, but on the crowd which
attended the unveiling Of the Lee Mon
ument He says that after that nota-
Bile event in the history of Richmond
the railroads reported that they had
brought $4,000 people to this city
reason why the crowd coming here
next month should not number in the
aggregate about I 5000 people-that Is,
counting all who accompany the vet
Grams.
Judging by the careful arrangements
now being made for the entertainment
Of visitors, the city will afford ample
room for all, though the hotels un-
doubtcdly will be we'll filled. Every
room al the Jefferson has been en-
gagged already, but this probably Is
owing to the fact that that hostelry
will be the headquarters OF the re-
union. and that there most of the spon-
sors and lady visitors will stay.
Inasmuch as the ceremonies and en-
ltertainments Incident to tho reunion
ana the meetings Of the grand camp
will cover period Of five days. itmay
be that many of those coming here
| will not spend all this time in Rich
mond. Nearly all the strangers VIII
20 from Richmond to the rnestown
Exposition, or will visit the Virginia
capital on their return trip from the
Exposition.
