It, Eons of Veterans and the allied women's organisations., The splendid audience waa the most magnificent assemblage ever gathered together at one time In this city for an affair of thia nature. Despite the exceedingly warm weather and the sultry atmosphere, the great crowd sat with rapt attention throughout the entire pro- ' cram and with an enthusiasm that ' knows no bonds, shook the big auditorium with cheers and deafening applause while the stirring patriotic addresses of Gov.

It was the spirit of the time that made this the greatest, army In, existence. Yon men were not hire- . lings; you were not conscripts; you responded to the purposes of the AlCity Ood. Too were standing for ycer ceavietloni and It was with the expectation of dying for your convictions that led you to the struggle. "It waa because the plainest, commoneet soldier on the field ot battle waa as great aa Hackleman or Meredith that made you a great army, fiacn private waa a general at heart Why u the people in Indiana respond so readily and willingly to the call to arms? Their homes were endangered. Cut their country's name and honor were at stake and . they wished to preserve the union in its entirety.

end the shades ot . night are falling fast. For many of the old veterans here tonight will never attend another encampment. Perhaps you men feel at times as though the people of this great republic have forgotten what a service you performed for your country. America Is a light hearted nation, but she never forgets. Down In her heart the flame of true loyalty forever is burning In remembrance of her grizzled old veterans. When , the roll of Indiana's Illustrious sons is called, whether you are here or under the son, some man like myself, will answer in the line of duty." Address by Asbury. In response to an address of welcome on behalf of the O. A. R., Hon. A. P. Asbury, state commander, declared that it was an honor to be accorded such a hearty welcome into a city and county that boasts of such Illustrious men aa Oliver P. Morton, Sol Meredith, William Perry and others. He stated that the Influences of such men would be felt for generations and their deeda will never be forgotten. This state was made richer and better in morale because such( men lived. j "I will be glad to shake hands with any confederate soldier," said Mr. Asbury. "but he must meet me under the stars and stripes." A Typical Soldier. . White-haired, stalwart, -with an ty sleeve dangling ' where the ' right arm should be, John B. Oilman, commander-in-chief of the National O. A. R., presented the picture of the typical Civil war hero as he stood upon the platform to greet members of the Indiana department In his speech so properly pointed . out, the shadows of night are falling and many of us, no doubt feel that we lag superfluously on the stage, but as those wckds were uttered I thought how very fortunate I am, and you also, comrades,, to have been permitted to have lagged so long as to be the recipients of such a great ovation as this.- I have been to many encampments where , the delegatea were welcomed by the citlxens of the encampment city, but I have never been . In. any. town - where there have been so- grand decorations aa I have seen here. . , , ; "I like nothing, perhaps, better than n national encampment, and aa I entered, your city today, I turned to the state commander who waa with me and I said to him how much It looked like n national meeting. And I thought how patriotic these residents must be, and how much they -must love their country to make such a great display of 'Old Glory Thanks of the Q. A. R. - The state commander has thanked yon for -your hearty welcome, and I. too, thank' you on behalf of 214,000 members ot the O. A. R. for the honor you have shown the boys of the Indiana department . Tea. boys, tns shadows of night are falling, and I for one am not sorry. I waa only a poor boy, I carried a gun aa a private, and I fired it, thank God. but with that record I wouldn't change places with the governor of Indiana, and you wouldn't either, because if we did we couldn't wear that little brown badge on our breasts. 'And that's why we wouldn't change places with the young msn of today. That badge is the mark of those who responded to the call of the martyred president The shadowa of night are falling, and we glory in that thought comrades, and In the memories of the things gone by. I don't like to talk about myself, but I say to you I have no thought about wealth and that I wouldn't give a snap of my finger it I didn't leave my children a dollar aa long as I can leave them a name, and as long aa I can leave them the heri tage oc a union soldier. After I am gone my sons will say to other men. my father fought for the union, my father gave his light arm on the battlefield of Gettysburg to save this country. And I believe that that inheritance will be more to them than gold and precious stones. ' "My comrades, I bid you Godspeed In the encampment that you are to carry on the rest of the week. I know that you will be wise In your deliberations; that you will choose good men to govern you during the ensuing year, and that above all things you win never forget for a day those principles which govern all comrades charity and loyalty. .A Welcome by Fonlks.

L . CHILDREN'S

At the Finish of the Parade, Which Was a Hard One for. the Veterans Because of the. Extreme Heat, Girls and Boys Wave Flags and Wildly Cheer Blue-clad Sold- V iers of the Great Rebellion Parade May Be the Last One Which . Will Be Held by Indiana Veterans of the Civil War. '

With the blood or youtn in their veins and as light hearted and gay aa when the first sound of the trumpet called them to arms in their country's defense, halt a century ago, fully three thousand grizzled old Civil War Veterans formed an imposing spectacle In their march through the streets of tbe city this afternoon. Perhaps their step waa just a trifle unsteady, but their heads were erect and the spirit of '61 burned deeped within the breast of them all. Cheer after cheer from the husky throats of the staunch old warriors rent the air as the sound of fife and drum awakened within them memories - of the long ago. Some strange sweet spell seemed to make them all young again i just for today. When the imposing pageant, after marching east on Main: Btreet to Fifteenth, turned' and countermarched on Main to Twelfth passing their comrades in the line ot march it was a sight never: to be torgotten, but one which will linger ever in the memory of all those who witnessed It. Bent With Age. . Bowed down with the weight of advancing years and waning strength some of the old soldiers could not control their emotion as their comrades in battle-passed In review before them: Tears dimmed the eyes of more than one veteran as the sweet strains of "My Country Tls of Thee; of Thee I Sing" from 2,000 childish voices floated up from the tier of seats arranged along North A street. When the subtle witchery of that old loved tune, dear to the hearts of all Americans, played upon the. emotions of the veterans their heads were bowed down in idle day dreams of their- enchanted youth. But when the military band struck up a lively patriotic marching air, the tide of enthusiasm waa turned into a different channel and the "boya were young again. ' An Immense Crowd. ' Great crowds of people,, estimated at between forty and ' fifty , thousand witnessed the wonderful spectacle, probably the last of the kind Richmond will ever see perhaps .the state may see and the brave old "boys of '61" were cheered vigorously all along the line of march. : .Naturally the largest ' crowd of spectators waa along Main street. There ' great masses of humanity, crowding the sidewalks from buildings to gutters, witnessed the parade. Asbury Is Delighted. "It was a wonderful parade, one of the very best that the Indiana department of the Grand Army, has ever witnessed and undoubtedly the best in recent - years," said Commander Asbury this afternoon after the line had passed the reviewing stand In North A street "It was no ordinary welcome that Richmond has given : the boys," the commander continued, "and it has been one of the very happiest experiences of my life. Richmond has acquitted herself as we all knew ahe would do and every arrangement that possibly could have been made : for our comfort was looked after." - ' Commander Anbury, Vice-Commander Rankin. Adjutant General Fesler, and others of the staff officers , were enthusiastic In their praise of the sueLcess of the parade The venerable Gen eral Warren Keifer of Ohio, witnessed the pageant from the reviewing stand and like the Indiana department officers, was enthusiastic In his praise. Army of "Kiddies" Approximately 2,000 school children arranged on a tier of seats on North A street between Eleventh, and Tenth streets waved tiny flags and' sang patriotic songs as the veterans passed, in review. The sight of children seemed to arouse something within the hearts of the soldiers like nothing else, and the venerable - old - heroes of a four years' war, were deeply moved by tbe tribute of the children. Some of the veterans were 'so pleased that they were unable to -restrain' their emotions of pleasure while passing the etand and danced and jigged like children themselves. All removed their hats. One old soldier who. had his right leg shot off in the battles of Gettysburg refused to ride in a carriage provided for the invalids, bat throughout the long, hot march continued to the very end to walk on his cratches. -, One ot the features of the parade was the old original fife' and .drum corps - from Yellow Springs. Their step seemed just as elastic and firm as in the days old and the rattle ot

the dram and crp

0VATI01I A SPECTACULAR FEATURE

was heard at all times during the parade. ; Waa Net a Hitch. Everything moved without a hitch. The program waa carried out in ita entirety exactly as had been planned. Beneath the hot rays of a dazzling sun and with the mercury playing about the ninety degree mark it was with difficulty that many of the old veterans remained, in line of march. With a grim determination which characterised their demeanor throughjout the war, and with the thought that (perhaps this would oe tneir last chance ot march before final "taps" called them to their just reward, near ly all remained in line until the march ended at the Coliseum. ' Heading the pageant was a panto mime emblematical of the spirit of '76, with a drummer and two men play ing the life. Next came Mayor W. W. Zimmerman-and the members of the board of works, who rode In a car riage. Chief of police Gormon came next, followed by the Richmond Are department. Tho marshal and his aids were next in line; the post of the Ma rlon Soldiers' home following. , The posts then followed Ih numerical order. The officers of the Woman's Relief Corps, - Ladies Auxiliary of the Sons of Veterans and Ladles of the G. A. R. rode in carriages as did also the veterans who were unable to walk. Music from Ave bands furnished ample enthusiasm for the occasion and the strains of some national anthem could be ' heard floating on the breeze at all times. , One feature was a squad of German veterans of the Franco-Prussian war, bearing German and United States flags. . - s ' Nothing happened to mar the success of the affair. It was the most Imposing v spectacle ; without, a - doubt which has been witnessed in Richmond In many years.' Everyone who witnessed, the parade was loud In his praise for the manner in which things moved and the system with which it was organized.: A mounted -body of horsemen formed a pleasing feature.' '; , Business Was Stopped. ; The crowds In Richmond tocfay are enormous and eclipse all records for an encampment celebration for twenty years. Every train and Interurban arriving in the city today brought hundreds of persons and the railroads report the largest business for msny years. The banks, business ' houses and public offices were all closed this afternoon In order to - give their employes a chance to "take it all in." : Ambulance service was' provided during the parade and physicians were in attendance at all times to care for the soldiers in event they became over come with the heat. But nothing of the kind occurred and none of the veterans experienced any ill effects from their warm, hot march. The parade waa a great success in every particular and great credit should be given those who bad charge of the arrangements snd made its success possible. A Hspy Veteran. Prolonged cheera greeted a grayhaired veteran, bent in form, wearing a green army cape to protect him from the fierce rays of the sun, as he seated himself on the street before the Boston Store , near Elghi street, when a halt was called. A canteen ajt the end of a strap swung over his shoulder furnished him a litis stimulant, and stronger veterans ; nearby tanned him during the ' short rest. When the order "forward march? was sounded, the grizzled veteran scrambktl to his feet snd commenced again on the long march, firmly clutching a small "Old Glory" in his hands and holding it aloft. He cake-walked past the school children.' ? During a short stop spectators who lined both sides of Main , street near Eighth street about four deep profferred their chairs to the veterans, and trembling hands i seized ; them to rest fatigued bodies until the ' command should start on again. Conclusive evidence that the fire of the spirit of '61 still bums within the breasts of tbe men who answered the martyred President's call to arms, and that the love of the country and devotion to the flag still exists the same as when the country waa shaken with the roar of cannon, ' was furnished by an old veteran as the parade passed by the corner of , Tenth and Main streets. . Jeinp His Comrades. Hoary veterans playing the fife and drums with the same vigor; an when they surged the comrades on to battle, had - just passed the corner and Old Glory wan floating is the air just be kid thxn,.whea one of the old ant-

stretched from pole to pole. ,and ran to join hla comrades marching In the broiling sun. One of the . most noticeable and inspiring features ot the parade was the helping hand extended by the stronger men to the tottering comrades at their ing least the ravages of time 'was noticed to be holding A companion by1 the arm and assisting him. In the. march. i , ' , v ,' Several of the veterans dropped from the profession, snd raore then a half dozen were compelled to leave their comrades at Twelfth, and Mala street because-of thst fierce heat, . '' . , 8tart of the March. The court house yard before the bi parade was formed was the 'scene of much festivity; All through the rsnkt one could hear the words "fifty years ! ago today, Major," and the stories and k anecdotes of the -days when the troo;s iirsi moveo 10 ut iront were uscenea to by throngs k of spectators.
