THIRD IND. CAVALRY
A GRAND REUNION IN VEVAY.
Speeches, Songs and Feasting.
The City in Holiday Attire and the Bold Riders
Are Given an Enthusiastic Welcome.
It was a lovely autumnal day last Thursday. Early in the morning the city was astir, flags going up on Court House, on the Bank, suspended across streets, from business houses and residences, and soon the principal streets were a sea of flags and bunting—to greet and honor the members of the 3d Ind. Cavalry, who were to assemble here in a military family reunion.
[See newspaper for full details of reunion.]
