presented a bouquet of white carnations
to Chaplain Bunyea In appreciation of
his good Offices. and Brother Bunyea re-
sponded by q very appropriate speech
thanking the camp for its support and
expressing his leasure in being associated

fought.
1t was decided to hold an excursion on

tickets at Is cents each would be sold

that at least 400 tickets would be sold, SO
that the camp might realize a sum suff1-
cient to help pay some of the expenses

to a hag-raising ceremony which 1t Is
proposed to hold at the Union Station at
some future date, depending on the
passage of a joint resolution through the
House Of Representatives (same having
already passed the Senate) authorizing
the Secretary of War to furnish flags to
the camp for the purpose of keeping an
American flag on at least one Of the three
flagpoles at the gates of the city at all
times. The Terminal Company has
agreed to furnish a man to raise and low
er such flags each morning and evening.
Tickets for this excursion are to be sent
to the different patriotic organizations
for sale
1t is planned that at the fag-raisins
ceremony a large flag will be unfurled
at the top of the middle lagpole and at
the same time an American flag will be
raised on each of the other poles to which
will be attached pennants representing
every State in the Union-twenty-four on
each pole. On the eastern fla gpole will
be the pennants OF the Eastern States
and on the western fiagpole will be the
pennants Of the Western States. 1t is
significant that 1t is not now a division
of the North and the South The diff
ferent States will be requested to each
furnish a pennant. The several State
societies here in Washington will be
asked to join in the ceremonies. as well
as the Grand Army and the Confederate
