Richmond. Va, June 2--Under dull skies and with touch of winter in the air, the Confederate Reunion waa devoid today of any striking features with the exception or religious serv- ices in two of the churches and a secred concert in the Horse Show build- ing tonight.
 Despite the unreasonable weather conditions, the crowd. however, waited for the parade tomorrow and the un- yelling of the Jefferson Davis monu- ment, which will be the crowning event of the week. The address of William Jennings Bryan, while not a part Of the Confed.-ate exercises, drew an audience of four thousand this af- ternoon.
 Chaplain General J. William Jones. presided at the memorial services held In the First Baptist Church, addresses being made by Rev. w. W. Moore and Rev Carter Helm Jones. The speakers paid graceful tributes to the Confed- crate dead. The service ct Monument- al Church was in the nature of an overflow meeting, Rev. Dr. Dudley Powers, of Flint. Mich, making the leading address.
 More than six hundred trained voices participated in the sacred con- cert tonight, the program including war songs and patriotic airs.
