The Largest Gathering Ever Held in the History of thi Cow federate Veteran's Organization. Memphis Made a Isohle UfFort to Entertain the Unprecedented Crowd, Possibly a40,000 People in the City. T'ie Flower Parade and the Veteran's Parade Espeein 1 Feu in res. Snap Shots. Taken at Random, While at Memphis. As stated in ia~t is?ue we arrival in Memphis on Tuesday morning . about 1U o'clock, to find the c-ty already crowded with visitors. The Main street v as so crowded with people, that it was impossible ior the driver of the carriage we were in to get through the mass of humanity, and he had to take the back streets to get us to our destination which fortunately waa on Main street, we finally got there by a cirouitu >us route, aud experienced the first and only extortionate charges we met with while in the city. This lutle ride cost a dollar, sullies it to aay we used the street ears after that. We secured comfortable quarters at $ I a day with 2 meals, and while there wtre some who had to pay high for their lodging we heli-ve nu-st of them only had themselves to blame for noi p looking out for lodgings upon thc-ii arrival, and waiting until night, am having to then take anything offered We must eay right here that tin citizens of Memphis are to ho commended for the notde effort tine ma le to accouun -date the unpreee dented crowd. Every hotel, board ing house and a large number of pri vate residences were thiowu open t accommodate the stream of visitor arriving by the thousands from th four points of the compass. Ever railroad running imo mo uhj, ui loaded their passengers frou the many sections arriving almost ever .our of the day. ^ A large building on Main stre had been converted into.a bureau information, and the dozen or mo clerks were kept as busy as bees t tending to the wants cf the gre ciowd that surged into the buildii in a constant stream from mornii till late in the night. It seemed tl all the committees of urrutigetxu and tutertumment were doing evoi thing within their power, and th deserve credit for their efforts. , We noticed in Reverul instan where the entire first floor of some the largest store buildings had b< converted into sleeping quarters, ? the lines of cots, several hundred number, reached from front to r of the great buildings while the cant upper rooms of every st building on Main street was tor into bed rooms, and we were in fin r that every cot in the entire city been put into service. A great kitchen had been e-t lished near the State hcadquart where thousands of veterans \ fori free, three solid media a da ^ they would go after them. )' * $ iffr4*- <V- <*- *# ?> -Mf*. n FOSIIIK, Vice President. $ l>.
