These events will not be crowded into one day, but are ex- pected to occupy nearly a week, and among those who will be present aresur- vivors of the greatest battle of the war, who have distinguished themselves in theart of peace. There will be Govern- ors, United States Senators, Generals, Legisl tors, ex-officers of various grades by the score, anda host of sight seers. The town of Gettysburg would be unable to furnish the necessary accommodations for such an army of visitors, and a gav- ernment appropriation was secured to make the repnion a success.
