FIFTH MAINE INF.
ANNUAL REUNION
AT PEAKS ISLAND

Portland, Me-, June 22.-The first
days session of the two days annual
reunion of the Fifth Maine Infantry
association took place yesterday at
the regimental headquarters at Peaks
island. The attendance was unusual
ly small this year, owing to the fact
that most Of the members were here
week ago in attendance at the
Grand Army meetings: also because
of many conflicting dates with other
meetings to which the veterans felt
themselves obliged to go. The bust
ness of the day consisted of the an
nual meeting of the corporation which
owns the property, the report being
read and the same officers who serv-
ed last year being reelected.
Last evening there was a camp fire
with speeches, stories and war songs
by the members and members of their
families who came to stay over for the
further festivities which take place to-
day.
