Over the pond in Bushnell Park. lines
of electric lights radiate from the
fountain in the center across the pond,
and with the fountain playing, the ef-
fect is beautiful.
in according a Welcome to the vote-
fans, the city's population augmented
by thousands of visitors from the
neighboring cities and towns, many
coming from New York and Boston to
see the spectacle, and as a rcsult the
streets were throngcd from curly
morning with HIKIIISN‘H, Not since
the celebration of battle flag day, in
1879. has anything like this event en—
livened the capitol city, and it will go
down into history as one of the most
memorable patriotic ohscrvanccs since
the return of the soldiers from the bat-
tlefields of the South. Several hundred
veterans from the home at. Noroton are
participating In the exercises, and the
general sentiment alike of both the
, public and the veterans regarding the
event was expressed by one of those
grizzled heroes who said: “it's the
last time we'll march togcthcr, boys,
so let's makethc moat of the day."
In a massive tent pitched on Bush—
ncll Park, the visitors are being led.
while half a hundred miniature houscs
of canvas bedeck the vicinity of the
capitol, to serve as meeting and rest-
ing places for the old soldiers. In or-
der that there might be no inconven—
ience or overcrowding, the loeai divi-
sion Ancient Order of l-Iiberniana ten-
dered the use of its hall to the com-
mittee In charge, as did also Charter
Oak Aerie of Eagles and the Home Cir—
cle Club.
As a guard of honor to the visiting
veterans, practically every military or—
ganization in the state. including the
entire brigade of the National Guard.
the Governor's Horse and Foot Guards
were ordered out, while the Putnam
Phalanx and similar organizations lcnd
picturesqueness to the occasion.
Among the distinguishcd Civil War
generals invited were “General Daniel
E. Sickles, General Horatio (‘. King,
Major-General John R. Brooke. Gen—
eral. George E. Randolph, General
George D. Buggies, General Thomas 0.
Beaver, General Howard L. Porter,
General Orland Smith, General Nicho-
las W. Day, General Alex. S. Webb. all
of whom are connected with the Army
of the Potomac. Owing to illness. Gen-
eral Sicklos. who would have been one
of the most picturesque figures in the
parade, was obliged by advice of his
physician to postpone coming here. {in
to yesterday be fully expected to be
with “the boys."
Every Grand Army veteran in the
parade 'I'nursday. which is to be the
big feature of the gathering. will carry
as a gift from the general committcc.
and will take: homo as a souvenir of
the occasion. a silk ling 12 by 18 inches

were at the disposal of thc‘vctcrans fo'r

thirty—seventh encampment of the dc-
partment of Connecticut G. A. R., was
held today. at which the department
commander, Morgan G. lluikcicy, gave;
an address. He said in part:

been callt-d to tho largo number of
private pension bills flint are present-
