The Sons of Veterans were in the
parade in goodly numbers, but not
being uniformed, did not attract
much attention. Co. G, clean, neat
and trim as always, made a fine SOL
dierly appearance, but the most at
tentiOn was given to the vets, who
themselves hugely enjoyed the occa-
sion; there was no need for aid no
accident. On the corner of Franklin
and Fourth streets, one of the old vets
seemed to walk somewhat lame and
had stepped out from the ranks look
ing up and down, when a gentleman
in an auto on the north side, kindly
offered to take him in, but was met
with this reply: THANK you. Oh,
would not miss this for anything"
then made a couple of jumps back in
line.
The living flag was the thing
which our people were anxious to see;
they were children from years up
and it took all the schools of Wausau,
parochial as we'll as the public, to OBJ
tain the required number; conse-
quently there were not many families
in Wausau that had not at least one
of their number in the parade. That
they made fine appearance and that
the flag feature came out very promi-
nent, goes without saying. Especially
was the appearance fine when seen
from an elevation, such as second
story windows or the roofs of houses,
which were crowded nearly as much
as the streets. This feature was the
work of Marilla Zellhoefer, teacher of
the high school, who.had, with infinite
patience gotten the number together,
drilled them for weeks and was I'M
firing with the aid of fellow teachers
to accomplish it, and if anybody has
a right to feel proud of the result of
his or her labor in this festival, it is
Marilla Zellhoefer. Much more might
be said, but space forbids; it is enough
however. to say, that never was there
such large crowd of people at
Wausau for three days, so well be-
haved, so we'll satisfied with the peo-
pie, and the people with them as on
this memorable occasion.
TUESDAY EVENING.
Tuesday evening, the great social
event of the convention took place at
RothSchild pavilion, and consisted of
a camp fire and supper followed by a
grand ball. Street cars carried the
veterans to the pavilion, leaving
Fourth street, east of the Court
house, at 4-30 O'Clock. The beautiful
park grounds filled with comfortable
seats, and the delightful weather,
made it an ideal place to rest for an
hour before supper. Fullya thousand
were on the grounds by five O'Clock,
hundreds of them going down in auto
mobiles. The great pavilion was a
| picture of beauty, in its decorations
done in the national colors. From the
large beams above were hung stream
ers about four feet long, of red, white
and blue, and the beams were COW
cred with pine boughs, this with the
thousands of electric lights, turned
on later, was charming sight to be-
hold. The side walls were covered
with pine boughS and the stars and
stripes. At the south end of the
large hall Cones orchestra occupied an
elevated stage, from which, also, dur
ing the evening there were vocal sell
ections by NJ. NJ. Secor and the
Orpheus quartette, composed of Max
YELLOW, Chas. Hooker, Emery H.
James and Edwin Murray. The
tables were arranged lengthwise of
the hall and were loaded with good
things to eat, plentifully supplied, as
follows:
Pickles Olives
Pork and Beans Boiled Potatoes
Bread and Butter
Coffee Doughnuts Cheese
At promptly six o'clock all took
seats and there were none vacant. 1t
was found necessary to put up other
tables in the dining room to accom-
Odate all, which included the
Veterans, the ladies, Company G, and
invited guests, with Major ID j.
Palmer OF Iowa, National Command
er-in-Chief of the Grand Army of the
Republic. The serving was done by
the members of Co. G., w. n. g., of
Wausau and they attended TO the
duties with military precision and
promptneSS that earned for them the
finest kind of compliments from the
veterans. Indeed, they deserved the
congratulations Showered upon them
for their promptneSS and for the
courtesy shown to all. All we're
served in quick order, none had to
wait. The details of the camp fire and
supper we're in Charge of NJ c. Ewing,
manager Of the Wausau Street Rail-
road company, and To his credit must
be said that the arrangements were
perfect.
