Preparations the Soctety of their annual ‘far advanced for the entertainment of the vetérses, Who are 6x- pected here from all parts .0f the country as vis- itora. General A. A. Humphreys, of this city,who was elected president of the society, last August appointed an executive committee to arrange for the approaching reunion, and since then it has held a meeting nearly every week. A LARGE ATTENDANCE EXPECTED. The letters which have been received, both pri- vVately by members of the society and members of the committee, as well as ofMfotally by the commit- tee and the secretary and treasurer in New York, indicate that, as was expected when the invita- tion was extended, the reunion in Washington will be far the largest in point of nce the society has ever held. The President has signified his tntention of boing present at the reunion. He will review the society from the stand in front of the White House, and will atterwards receive the members of the society, who will call upon himin a body to peg ae respects. Gen. Grant, Gen. Sheridan and Gen. McClellan are also expected to be present. HEADQUARTERS, ‘The headquarters of the society ‘will be at the Riggs House. The various corps headquarters have been located as follows: At the Arlington, 3d, 11th, 12th, artillery and staff 3, Worm- ley’s, 2d corps; Riggs House, ist and 6th corps; Ebbitt House, 6th, 19th and cavalry corps. THE ORDER OF EXERCISES Will be as follows: On Weédtiesday, the first day, there willbe a parade at 11a. m., marshaled by Gen. Ayres. The troops and societies composing the procession will form upon the Avenue, march to the Riggs House, where the members of the society on foot, with the presidentat their head, will enter the line. The route of farch will then be up 15ch street to Vermont avenue, to the Thomas statue, to Massachusetts avenué, to the Scott statue, to Rhode Island avenue, to Connecticut avenue, to Farragut square and by Lafayette place to Pennsylvanta avenue, passing in front of the President and dispersing at the Riggs House. The members of the society witt generally wear citi- zens’ er] and in passing the President will sa- lute by lirting the Lat and passing uncovered, ‘The different corps mectings will be held at 1:30 Pp. m., generally in the parlors of the hotels where the headguarters are located, unless notice 15 given for them to assemble elsewhere. The sixth corps has already engaged Willard’s Hall for its meeting, as it has generally had the largest attendance of any of the corps organizations at the-reuntons. Ats nee @ business meeting of the society will be held at the National Theater, At8p.m. at the same place the society will assemble to listen to the oration by Major Martin Maginnis, formerly- of the Ist Minnesota regiment, and the poem, by George Alfred Townsend. It is probable that the Society will be formally welcomed on this occa- sion by the president of the board of District Commissioners. Gens. Grant. sheridan, and most of the general officers, prominegt OMicers of the Davy, and distinguished guests ‘will be pres- ent will occupy seats on the stagé, Admission to he theater will be by card, admitéing to the dress circle and gallery only. hes: the stage will, as {3 usual in such cases, be made by Gens. Grant, Sherman, Sheridan, aud sueh Others as the audience may desire to hear. THE SECOND Dav’s PROURAM 1s given up to an excursion to Mquat Vernon, for which the steamer George Leary has been char- tered. It 1s also expected that the Tallapoosa will be placed at the disposal of the odmmittee. The banquet will take place at 7 p.m. at-ADner’s Gar- den. A decided departure from the usual course on such occasions has been made in this instance. Usually the banquet conalsts of @cold collation, served at 9 o'clock. The attempt is to be made this time to have a regular course dinner served, and the hour indicated will not oily give more time to the toasts and speeches, bat will save those who prefer the European plan of boarding the ex- pense of two dinners, i FEATURES OF THE REUNION. Grand Army Posts will be present from Balti- more and Philadelphia, ana perhaps from other points. Several reunions of a character never be- fore undertaken will also mark the occasion, in- cluding one of the ex-paymastegs who served with the Army of the Potomac, of whom some fifty or more have signified their intention of leet peoeene: There will also be a reunion of the lew York—the regiment which Gen. Crocker commanded. ‘The committee at its meeting Wednesday night, assed a vote of thanks to Mr. Thoupson, super- intendent of the railway mail service, who was endeavors. to get a genase? nehactnn oreo rates for this occasion ns eau? id ‘TO RESPOND TO TOASTS. Among those who will respohd to toasts at the ‘banquet are Gen. Sherman, senator Miller, Gen, Francis A. Walker, Gen. Sche nok, Gen. Dudley, Judge Edmunds, Mr. Isaac H. Bromley and Mr. Chas. Dudley Warner. Gen. McClellan and Attor- ney General Brewster will probably speak to toasts. At a meeting of the executive committee, held at the Ebbitt House lastevening, it was an- nounced that the United states steomer Ewing had been placed at thely disposal. The finance committee reporied List ev iiaz a large. number ef coniributiang, ERECTION, As the readers of Tas Srak are well aware, the ts being invested, but sum total Ee hy competent, authorities to be far in excess of that of any previous year at this date. dency has been more observed on the part talists to seek this means of investment salés have been made to fentiemen pao persed is only the begin an ho of a.rapid wth.

OPINION OF A WELL-KNOWN REAL ESTATE DEALER. In speaking to a Stax reporter Mr. B. H. Warner said: “The real estate market has been more active this season than Tever knew it during my business experience. The records will bear. out this statement. Of course speculation has been largely in the northwest. Speculators are = sheep—they goin flocks After awhile they wil torn attention to other localities, where less money is required in operating. The attractions lence are becom- and each person of this season, next year we shall feel it still more, New- port grew slowly fora time. We shall have the same class Of people here in the winter.” A HEALTHY MOVEMENT, “The real estate market ts active,” remarked Mr, Thomas J. Fisher, in response to a question, the prospect is that this movement will con- ti for the restof the year. It is a good healthy movement, and purchases are made by ‘those who have come to stay.” FALSE IMPRESSIONS CREATED.

They are too few tn number to con: — egiment aloce, and to have one regiment partly white and partly colored would not be advisable. It was therefore about decided to change the planof organiza— tion, but General Drum’s enforced absence at that time prevented the change being made.
