Soldier’s Reunion - The annual Lake County Sailors’ and Soldiers’ Reunion held here on Tuesday and Wednesday, although not quite so large a crowd was in attendance as at the M.W.A. picnic, it was an event long to be remembered. Tuesday witnessed the assemblance of old comrades, cordial hand-shaking, etc. until evening, when the camp fire program took them to the grove, where they had one of the most enthusiastic and largest gatherings that has been seen for several years. Wednesday at 10 a.m., headed by McHenry Military band, the soldiers fell in line in front of the Lakeside hotel and marched to the grove where the business meeting was held. At 12 o’clock intermission was taken for dinner and at 1 o’clock the formal program was taken up, consisting of speaking by able orators, Hon. J.V.S. Line and Rev. J.S. Thornton, chaplain at the JOliet penitentiary. The Apollo quartet of Waukegan was unable to be present and an old comrade was called upon to fill the vacancy and he proved very near a whole quartet within himself. After the program, followed the ball game, Grayslake vs. Lake County Stars, the same teams that played at M.W.A. picnic, and proved exciting throughout. It proved another victory for the Stars by a score of 16 to 12. In the evening a reunion dance was given in both the hall and at grove. The former was attended by about 40 couple and the latter by about 106. A most pleasant time is reported at both. Thus ended another glorious reunion of the Lake County Soldiers and Sailors.
