Hotel at p. m. Autos were in wait
ing to convey them to the ball
ground, where the teams Of Wal
! halla and Westminster crossed bats
at 4.30. The boys played fine

| spectators who surrounded the field
on all sides.

cursion to Westminster was called,
and the Veterans were taken over
the modern highway from Walhalla
to Westminster, arriving there at 7
| o'clock
a line Of march was formed on
| Main street, in front Of the West
! minister Bank, headed by the band.
| Nhe line Of march was then taken
up the street to the park on the East

Some had left in the afternoon, but
the larger portion remained and
attended the festivities at Westmin-
ster
After another night of refreshing
sleep the Veterans left on the early
train Saturday morning for their re-
spective homes.
Thus was brought to a close the
seth annual reunion Of Orr's Regi-

cessful reunion in the history of the
organization. Walhal!a was proud
to be honored by the presence Of so
ment, which went to the front In
1861, thirteen hundred and fifty
strong.
Before the adjournment of the
meeting at Walhalla resolutions Of
thanks were adopted. expressing
deep appreciation Of the hospitality
extended by the citizens Of Walhalla
| and Westminster.
1t is remarkable that after fifty
years, siXty-siX Of the survivors at
! tended this reunion 1t Is said that
| this was the largest attendance Of
any reunion in the history of the as
sociation except the first reunion,
| which was held at Walhalla in 1872.

! Springs, in West End. Addresses
upon that occasion were delivered by
