his years.
Lieut. W. L. Caleb, commander
of the Trans-Mississippi division,

outburst of handclapping.
The reception accordod Gen Joo

the day. The famous cavalry officer
was cheered from the time
his greytopped head was discerned
in the great throng until he as-*
Cduded the rostrum and motion

Kflf >rts to arrivo nt the exact
number of -veterans and visitors in
Louisville tonight are necessarily
futile. Railroad men who have
had experience in the handling of
crowds at other reunions assert
that the numerous speci il trains
arranged for trio Louisville meet
iug wore more crowded than at
any other reunion in the past five
, years A conservative estimate
would however, seem to not the
figure at near tho 25,000 mark.

their contents, which were on the
