THR PRESENTATION BY THE GRAND ARMY ,COM- MITTEE TO LER CAMP CONFEDERATE VET- YRANS—AN INTERESTING SCENE AT THE CON- FEDERATE SOLDIERS’ HOME—SOME DETAILS OF THE TRIP. Iv One of the wards in the hospital attached to| the Confederate Soldiers’ Home at Richmond | has been neatly fitted up and serves as a me- morial of the fraternal feeling manifested be- tween the soldiers who wore the gray and those who wore the blue at the time of the recent Grand Army excampment. This ward was the occasion yesterday of @ sentimental journey from ¥ ston to Richmond, undertaken by | anumber of well-known citizens. They ex- perienced in Richmond im full measure the hospitality for which Virginia is famous the | World over. | ‘The gentlemen who went to Richmond were the members of the committee appointed by Dir. John Joy Edson, chairman of the citizens’ 1 Army encampment committee, to make bie acknowledgment to Lee Camp, Con- te Veterans’ Association, for the cour- tesies extended by confederate veterans to Grand Army men who visited Richmond and ¥ at the time of the encampment. ‘The party that went on the plearant journey £ Nir.
