Cincinnati, Sept. 6. - The thirty-second annual encampment oL the G. A. R. is a success so far as attendance is concerned, even for these national events which are phenomenal for crowds. The decorations are unusually elabórate, the electric light designs in the public squares and at street intersections surpassing even the flnest structures of expositions and the entertainment is equally lavish. The features of the day were the regimental, brigade and other reunions, at which the old comrades got closer together than on any other occasion. There were demonstrations on the arrival of several department commanders and of governors and their staffs. The citizens also tendered receptions to Commander in Chief Gobin, Rear Admiral Kelley, Mrs. S. J. Martin, president of the W. R. C; Mrs. Flora M. Davey, president of the Ladies of the G. A. R.; Mrs. Jennie Laird, president of the National Association of the Ladies of the Naval Veterans, and others. The W. R. C. auditing committee, the directors of Andersonville prison property, the directors of the national corps and the national council were in session on routine business.
