The veterans who have been quar-

break camp and depart for their re-
sPeCtive homes this morning.
Breakfast viii, be ready as early
as O'Clock in order that they may
be able to leave the camp early
enough TO catch their trains. Owing
to the Indictment weather. which has
prevented many of the old soldiers
from seeing as much of the town az
they desired. several of them de-
clared yesterday afternoon that they
would not leave until late this after
noon or tonight However. others
are anxious TO get back TO their homes
and Will board the first outgoing
trains.
Despite the fact that the weather
has been Indictment since the vets"
arrived in town. practically all of them
asserted last night that they had
thoroughly enjoyed their experiences
while i'm Richmond. Although the
rain that was prevalent Tuesday and
Wednesday made walking had at the
State Fair Grounds. the old soldiers
didn't seem to mind ii at all and they
were constantly seen vending their
way through the mud and water,
mess halls. Notwithstanding the con-
slant downpour of rain. the major
portion OF the veterans remained at
the camp but little. save the time that
meals were being served, but they
braved the elements as they did when
they cast their fortunes with the Con-
federate Army. ndawent about seeing
the sights of the City.
The last night spent in Camp
Stuart was an enjoyable one for the
old soldiers Reminiscent talk pre-
dominated. and the grayha'red war
riors took great pride in telling of
their many experiences during the
four years of strife. There was music
within the walls of the various build
ings. and this added to the general
pleasure Many of them had brought
their hanjos along with them, while
/ one of the visiting bands that was
quartered as Camp Stuart played a
number of the popular old wartime
airs for their amusement
