     The first reception of the Andre Caillioux Camp, No. 36, Sons of 
Veterans of U.S.A., at Sumner Hall, Fulton street, opposite Sumner 
avenue, last Thursday night, proyed to be an enjoyable and successful 
affair.  The camp, which has a membership of forty, was out in full 
uniform and made a splendid showing.  A beautiful flag, on behalf of the 
Ladies' Corps., No. 33, of the William Lloyd Garrison Post, No. 203, 
G.A.R., was presented by Mrs. Francis JOHNSON, patriotic instructor of 
the corps, to the camp.  The flag was received by John H. DICKERSON, 
commander of the camp, in an appropriate speech.  An interesting address 
was made by Mrs. MOHR, a past department president of the Relief Corps 
of the State of New York.  The evening was most pleasantly spent by all 
present.
