They wanted to meet the men they had fought on so many battle-fields in social intercourse. Gen. Garfleld heardly ap- proved of this reunion of soldiers of both sides, and had promised to be present; but he was. stricken down by the assassin’s bullet, and the society, on the day of its assembling, received the news of his death. THR FIRST SUGGESTION of a stone in commemoration of Gen. Garfield was contained in the following telegram from Gen. R. D. Mussey, of this city, to the society in session at Chattanooga: “Washington members propose memorial-stone to Gen. Garfleld in Washington Monument by our society.” This dispatch was dated September 21, 1881, and the suggestion was. prompuly adopted by the’ society. The Tennessee members offered a Dlock of Tennessee marbie for {the purpose, and ilnally the duty of having it pre- pated and sent to Washington was committed to Gens. H. Wilder, Houk, and Pettibone, of Tennes- see, Col. Casey, When consulted about the matter, ‘sald that instead of a block of marbie a thin siab or tablet, containt: the inscription wanted, had better be forwai and that he would have it set in the monument, at the height it had reached when Gen, Gartield died. ‘A MONUMENT COMMITTER, At the session of the society, and immediately after the reading of Gen. Mussey’s dispatch in Tegard to the memorial stone, Lieut. John B. Ruhm, of Nashville, submitted resolutions, which Were adopted: That a committee of nine members be appointed by the president of the society on or Defore the 4th of Jaguary next, and that the sald committee be designated as the “Garfield Monu- mental Committee of the Army of the Cumber- land.” 2. That it shall be the duty of the com. mittee to report to the next meeting of the society @ plan for the erection of a monument to our late comrade, Jas. A. Garfield, at such place as the society shall hereafter designate, 3. That the committee shall, as soon after its appointment as practicable, organize by the appolntment of a President, secretary and treasurer, and by the adoption” of laws and regulations. 4. ‘That when duly organized the said committee shall be empoweied to collect subscriptions Tor the purposes of said monument, and that the re- port, heretofore ordered, to the next meeting, shall embrace a statemént of collections made and subscriptions obtained. AU that meeting no further action was taken, ‘The resolution gave until the fourth of the fol- lowing January for the appointment of the com- mittee, and the appointments were imade by letter after the soclety adjourne ‘The monument committee, appointed by the president of the soclety, consisted of the followin: members: Ja Barnett, chairmar Henry Cist, secretary; H. C. Corbin, treasurer; W. Robinson, J. C.’Smith, J. G. Parkhurst, Anson G. McCook, Jobn B. Ruhm and ‘A. B. Underwood. This committee vegan oper by sending out circulars Monument project and At the ne at Milwau the monumet asking ‘Tor eo: annual meeting of the sostet in 1882, Gen. Barnett, on behilt of t committee, called for a full expres- ment subject, He sald ‘a great deal of required, and that every member of should enlist in it and urge the project He did not want it to drag year alter year. He advised that every member take an active part in collecting ftinds for the monument. ‘On motion of Judge Cochran, the treasurer of the society was Instructed to pay over to the treasurer of the monument commitize the moneys appropri- ‘ajed by Congress for the monument fund, WASHINGTON CHOSEN. Gen. Grosvenor submitted resolutions, which were adopted, “that the action of the Garfleld bat they make | Shakespeare my conception of my business, where | monument committee in selecting Washington az ‘the piace for the location of the monument be, and the same ts, hereby approved and ratified. ‘That | house Said committee proceed to take the necessary | Steps to construct aud erect sald monument 98 | France,” &., &e., recalls to mind efforts I made | | | | | | soon as, in thelr opinion, the necessary tuuds are available for that purpose.” Gen, Grosvenor said that the committee was not authorized to locate the monument, but it asver- tained that no favorable action could be procured from Congress until the site was finally desig- hated, ‘Lhereupon the committee took tie re sponsibility of locatipg the monument at Wash— ington. ‘That action suould be ratified. As to tie second part of his resolution, it was de- signed to push matters along as rapidiy as possible. With the power the resolution pro- posed to conter the committee would be able 10 Teport-at the next meeting the special iocation of the monument and to contract fort:s erection, ‘Thus, {mportant time would be gained, Gen. Mussey, as the only representative resident of Washington present, in behalf of the citizens, of Washington, invited all members of the soclety tobe present ‘at and take part in the Garflela Monument fair, to be held on the 25th of the ensu- ing November.’ Gen. Mussey urged the Society to extend all the ald and encouragement possible to the monument committee. One of the most gratl- fying features, he sald, in connection with the u dertaking, was Ube eagerness and anxiety ian fested by Southern States to contribute, He sald: “Tt simply illustrates the sptric that prevails in that community, once- hostile to us, now our best friends.” Atter further remarks showing the est mation in Which Garfield was held in the South Gen, Mussey sald: “You cannot tell how glad we in Washington will be to see you. We tried to show you something of it wien the Thomas statue was unvelled. The people of that city love the old Virginian Who was so great and did so weil for the Union, and they will welcome you again as you gather to do honor to nim, who also stands high in their affectiona, and, indeed, they will bid you welcome to thelr Hearts in that city, for the Whole city honors anyone who honors Garfield.” ‘A DRSION ADOPTED. At the next annual reunion of the society, held 1m Cincinnati in 1883, General Barnett, of the Garfield Monument committee, submitted the fol- lowing report: “Your committee have been engaged since the Milwaukee meeting in carrying cut the instruc- Uons of the society concerning the erection of the Garfield monument. By virtue of the authority given to the committee they have accepted, after due deliberation, a design prepared by Mr. J. Q. A. Ward, the etninent artist, Who so successfully and satisfactorily modeled dnd erected the Thomas monument. The price agreed upon for statue and pedestal 1s $60,000, payable on the compi-tion of the work and {ts weceptance by the committee. We have collected from all sources the sum of 3,963.73, Which 1s on deposit and bearing four per cent interest. (Here tne banks of deposit were given.) Trecomtalttee have promises and assurances from prominent members of Congress that the sum of $30,000, Which Is the estimated price of the pedestal, will be appropriated in accordance with recedents on former like occasions, ‘This would Reave a deft ot $7,036.27, which will have toa made up by further efforts of the society and the committee, We call upon the soctety to aid us in raising this sum, and also to aid us by their ine finence with Meinbers of Congress in obtaining their approval and vote for the appropriation above mentioned.” ‘The committee reporved that the definite site depended upon Congressional ac. tion, and that it was contemplated that the Work shotild be finished in two years. ‘The next annual reunion of the soctety was held at Rochester, 5 Y,, in the fall of 1884, At that meeting the mon: uihent committee reported that the amount ot money collected for the monument and subject to the order of the soctety was $25,039.15, ‘That in. cluded interest uptodate. “The committee also reported that Congress had appropriated $30, fowards the monuinent, Which sum was ie’ eee hands of Government ‘accounting omcers; also, that Congress had appointed a commission to select a site for the monument, ‘The report as.

With all I have seen written on this subject from both sides of the controversy this one thing seems to be ignored, or not known.

According to a report on the fishing grounds of North America, prepared by the United States Fish Commisston, the votal area of the mackerel fishing grounds off the eastern coast Of the United States 1s 56,000 square geographical miles. Here, in our own waters, the most exten- sive and vallable mackerel Ashery of the world {s carried om. In addition to this, our fishermen have the right to sh in the waters of the Guit of Bt.

The weather was very threatening during the entire afternoon and frequent showers had occurred during the day. Besides the wind was blowing a gale, Neverthe- less these people wanted to see the game if it ‘should be possibie to play. At 4.40 Umpire Wilson called “play,” with the home team first at the dat, But six innings aud a halt were concluded, and up to the fifth the spectators saw as fine an exh’bition of ball playing as could be Wished. Iu tact it was quite remarkable considering thé sogey condition of the grounds, and the strong gusts of wind that carried the hall hither and yon, The warm Interest and excitement of the spectators pre- Fented their feeling the cold wutil the game Was irretrievably lost to the home club in the frth in- nings. The visitors won the game on lis merits, by @ score Of 9 to 4 in six innings, making twelve | base hits to the Washingtons’ seven, and bemng | credited with but one error, an overthrow of Wise from short to first, waite five errors were recorded against the Wastiingion boys. Several of these mistakes Would probably not have occurred had the Weather been more favorable, and too, more than one of the visitors’ hits would have been captured under ordinary cireunstances. Still the home boys Tae pgbtemably outplayed both in the Meld and at TRE GAME Neither side scored in the first inning, although Hornung, who was the frst Boston plager to bat, Sent the ball into far center field for three bases. With no one out and a man on third, it seemed i1n- Possible to prevent a score, Nevertheless, the ex. cellent work of the home battery, Whithey and Mack, assisted by Myers, sent the visitors into the fleld without a run. ‘The spectators were de- lighted, and were even more so when the home team gained two runs in the second inning. Every- body init the bail hard, but Farrell, Kreig, and My- erseach made two-b; ‘making two scores, while Schock’s tong fly to ‘left fleld would have Deen good for two oF three bases but for Hornung’s admirable fielding. The visitors failed to score in their half of “the second, but made two in the third, teing the score. In fils inning, after one, man was retired, bit a three.t r, The tors hoped that the Statesmen would duplicate. the first inning by leaving bim on third. But, although the next man was retired, Wise sent the ball ing over Myers’ head and through Car- Toll, Dringing in Hornung and reaching Unird him self, only to be brought in ona bit by Nash. The Score was tWo to two, and It seemed like com- meneing the game all over again, In the fourth Krelg lifted the ball very gracefully over the lett field fence, but the home-run was the ouly one scored, Two runs were added to the visitors’ total | in the same inning, but a peautiful throw Dy | Schock from ngt ficid to the home piate shut off | another one, The Nationals needed but one run And to shut out the Visitors in the fi{gh inning, to Ue the score, which stood 4 to 3, They did the | first, but, unfortunately, fatled in retiring tne | Bostons ubtil they had gained tour runs, taking | the Score 8 to 4. When two Boston men had batted in this inning ‘@ number of interested spectators stuck a pin right there and regarded THE GAME AS Lost.
