SERENADES TO THE STAR. “Good-bye, Stak,” was the salute given by the members of Post 35 of Massachusetts as they moved yesterday froin in front of Tae Stan building and resumed their march to the depot. They had stopped to serenade Tan Stan, and the Salem Band, which accompanied the post, played several ‘elections, During the week a rge number of the posts paid the compliment to Tue Stax of axerounde. Mention has been made of these visits from time to time, but in the hurry of the day's work some were un- noticed. The Newburyport, Mase., Brass Band, accompanying Post 49 of that place, W. C. | Cusick, commander; the Lytle Drum Corps of Cincinnati, Philip Boesch, director; Frank P.

Past Department Commander Henry Booth of Kansas says of tho encampment: “It is ono of the most enjoyable reunions I have ever at- tended, and Ihave gathered with the boys in every encampment from Portland to San Fran- cisco and from Minneapolis to Washington. ‘This is broad avenues and smooth pavementa are mighty fine for us old boys, There are a good many stiff legs and crutches and canes in our ranks, and the smooth little resistance and the veterans can get arorind ko ew ily that they for- get they are old men.
