R. and Union Veterans’ Union there will be held during “Grand Army week” next month the twentieth annual convention of the National, Association of Union ex-Prisoners of War. For several months past the association, which num- bers many thousands, has been making exten- sive preparations for the coming convention, and it will be the most largely attended one in the history of the agsociation. The members will meet here those with whom they not only fought shoulder to shoulder, but who were with them while suffering and starving in the prison pens of the south. For the information of members of the aso- ciation, and also for the information of all other Union ex-prisoners of war, President Stephen M. Long of tho association has issued the circular in which it is stated that the G. A. R. encampment has arranged a most compre- hensive system of reunions during the week to be held on the Grand Army place (White Lot) directly south of the tial mansion, There will be comm: tents assigned to Union ex-prisoners of war, in which the head- quarters of the national’ association will be located, and where the secretary or an assistant will be in attendance from Monday, September r 19, 1892, ready to give Union ex-prisoners of war any information in regard to the national association which they may desire. All ex- prisoners are requested to register their names as soon as they arrive to facilitate comrades finding them. The annual convention of the National Asso- ciation will be held in Circuit Court room, United States court house (city hall), on Wed- nesday, September 21, 1892, at 10 o'clock a.m. Local associations, which have not yet done 80, should at once elect delegates and alternates ‘and provide for their mmce at the conven- tion, and thus insure being an interesting and profitable meeting of the association. Local associations that have mide a report of their condition and are not in arrears for dues are entitled fo representation in the national ‘association, in the rafio of one dele- gate for every fifteen members in good stand- ing, and one additional dek for a final frac- tion of more than one-half of that number. i however, that each local association, whatever it numbers, is entitled to at least one delegate. All local association Ngee for the time being, are entitled to sit as delogates, but no proxy or substitute can act for them. Delegates must be furnished with credentials signed by the president and secretary of their associations, and where the same has not already been done a copy should be forwarded. to the secretary of the national association as soon as possible after receiving this circular. Secretaries of local aseociations should im- mediately make report of all members, officers and delegates, and cause to be remitted to the national association the per capita tax for 1892, at the rate of 25 cents for each member of their association in good standing. It is desired to call particular attention to the fact that by the provisions of the constitu- tion all associations in arrears for reports and dues are excluded from representation in this convention. There are a number of local associations which, from a scattered membership, lack of interest, and other causes, have fallen in arrears for reportsand dues. All euch are arged to call a meeting and take the necessary steps to secure representation in this convention, as matters of very great importance will come up, and we need a large and united membership in order to succeed in our aims. All Union ex-prisoners, whether delegntes or not, are most cordially requested to attend at Washington, and help make it the largest and best ex-prisoners’ reunion since the war. ‘The secretary will have with him at Washing- ton a full line of badges, state pins and prison slides, where comrades desiring, may order the same.

Interesting Exercises at the First Full Day of the Camp Meeting. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Wasuixetox Grove Camp Meztrsa, August 11, 1892. ‘The sojourners in the Grove are early risers. Only a few of them need Dr. Laney’s rising bell to arouse them. This is a charming place in which to sleep and dream away the hours be- tween 11 o'clock and 5 a.m., but a people more wide awake and intent upon making others happy and being happy themselves it would not be an easy task to find. At5o’clock in the morning the market place is the center of animation. These folks live on fresh fruits and vegetables, gathered with the dew on, and poultry raised on the neighboring farms. The majority of the cottagers have set up their own culinary department, but many families occupy cottages and subsist on the ex- cellent table provided by our genial host of the Albany. Everybody seems comfortable and there is a fair show for a most prosperous and successful camp meeting. ‘The first full day of the series was highly sat- isfactory, in spite of the high temperature of the forenoon. Elder Naylor's family worship at the tabernacle was well attended. At 11 o'clock the people came from every avenue to the place of public worship, ex to receive arich feast in the sermon that Dz. Wilson of Wesley Chapel gave them on “The Perfection ts.” "The sermon lifted us to high filled the aliar place with Christia: in fuller consecration. ‘The mothers met in the | chapel tent at 2 o'clock and exchanged conti- | ‘d for the conversion of their le people held an interesting service at the same hour, under the conduct of Dr. Wm. H. Laney. At 3:20 p.m. a fairly large congregation lis- tened to a uniqueand forcible discourse from Rey. W. J. Thompson, the popular pastor of Fourth Street Church: ‘The first of the series of services by the young people was held in the Grove avenue tentat 6:30, led by Mrs, Clara Roach, with Mrs. J. I. Mickle as organist and Mr. Bernard Watkins, cornetist. The half hour was pleasantly and profitably spent in testi- mony, song and prarcr. At 8 o'clock the larg- est concourse of the season assembled to hear a sermon from Kev. C. L. Pate, formerly of Montgomery circuit, but now of Twelfth Street Church. Mr. Pate fills a large and warm spot in the hearts of this people, who heard him gladly as be spoke feelingly and well of “The eternal life of those who know Him, the only true and living God.” Bishop Taylor will arrive this morning, to re- SEESEGGSEGEEEES GREE ERGEGEESESEETEGE main two days in camp.

To the Editor of The Evening Star: Thope you will have the kindness to insert the following in your valuable paper for the benefit of the citizens of Washington: On read- ing an advertisment in Tae Evexrxa Stan of the attractions at Bay Ridge six of my family made up their minds totake the excursion and, with that intention, we left W: n on the 9:15 a. m. train Tuesday, the 8th instant, for | August Bay Ridge with the intention of taking the boat, as advertised (on the steamer Columbia to Baltimore and back). On our arrival at Bay Ridge, 11 a. m.,we lef< the train and started for the boat, but just ae we turned the Bay Ridge dining room, to our utter surprise and disap- ‘tment, we discovered the steamer Colum- leaving the pier. A general exclamation from those on the excursion, “Why, the boat is not leaving!” when we were informed, “Oh, yes, and she will not be back before evening.
