Reunion to be held of the U.C.V. Reunion to be held in New Orleans, April 25th, 26th, and 27th has issued a call to veterans from other cities to arrange their "sets" for an old time Southern cotillion and Virginia reel which will be led by General Stephen D. Lee and Mrs. General Braxton Bragg on the night of Thursday April 26th. It is desired that each locality make up its own set so as to be prepared to participate in the biggest single dance ever given in the South. The old St. Louis Hotel which is immediately opposite the reunion hall has been fitted up with 3,000 cots, with electric lights and other conveniences, all of which will be free to the veterans. The railroads have made reduced rates to New Orleans for the occasion and from the present outlook the indications are that the attendance will exceed even that of the big reunion held here in 1904.
