He is one of the most noted end men in the coun- try. who, passing through New Haven, stop ped of to see Manager EIdridge and obliged him by filling Fayette Welch's place, who was unavoidably detained in New York. Edwards and Morton made 8 good impression in their speciality "Arm in Arm" Pete Shaw is one of the finest female impersonators we have ever seen, and his elegant wardrobe and fine soprano voice were 8 pleasing fea- ture. In him Manager EIdridge has a very strong card Duncan, the ventriIoquist, is marvel of successful manipulation of the hu- man voice, and his specially is very pleasing. Tks afterpiece, Insanity" is overwhelmingly funny, and sends the audience away surfeited with fun and good feeling.

and Montreal, Canada. The classification list
comprises II classes, which includes nearly all

miums will bo over $1,000, which will be con-
siderably added to by donations of special
prizes, contributed by citizens, Mr.. Henning

of all the successful bench shows in this
country, including the great New York shows,
and the Centennial. The entry books will be
| open tomorrow. Prize lists and entry blanks
can be had at the office by applying to Mr.,
Curtis, the manager of the Roller Skating
rink or to the superintendent, who will be on
hand to give all necessary information. The

special cable message was forwarded yester.
-
Wales, to send some of his fine dogs to the
Show and an invitation will also be sent
to the marquis of Lorne, asking him to make
some entries, and so contribute to the success
of the exhibition. The President, Gen, Grant
together with large number Of senators and
congressman, are well known TO be lovers oi
fine dogs, and it is hoped they will send some
Of their choice specimens.

cisely the same as appeared with him at his

said to be models of elegance in material and
style. The initial performance will begiven

position than where he could have struck the
rebel rear; but it was not the decree of fate
that Wallace should be the Blucher of Shiloh.
/ cannot here review the battle of Shiloh in
detail. Greeley in his American Conflict (vol.
9, pages 81 to 10Y and Coppie in his Grant
and His Campaigns" came nearer the truth
| than any other accounts that i have read.
| Still, from what saw and know, my opinions
of that battle may be briefly stated as fol-
lows;
1. There could have been no thorough re-
connaissance made by our forces In front Of
our encampments for two days before the
battle.
2, Our advanced guards, If any, were not
placed far enough in front to prevent sur
prise
3. No general line Of battle had been ar
ranged or thought of by Gen. Sherman, who
was in command and responsible on Saturday
and Sunday.
4. Our corps and divisions were scattered
and too far apart.
5. Aftcr the demonstrations made by the
enemy in our front on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday just preceding the battle, Gen. Sher-
man was too solf.oonhdent and reliant.
When Grant arrived on the field on Sum
day he saw the commencement of another
Bull Run" Tho naturally gallant, ener-
getic and stubborn soldier, Gen. McCler-
nand, with his men, like rock in mid ocean
had checked the tidal wave of the rebel onset
for the time. The well known fact that Buell.
and Lew Wallace were coming TO the rescue
| inspired hope, and the GOODNESS of Grant as
he smoked his cigar and galloped down the
lines restored confidence in the hearts Of our
struggling soldiers. The gunboats, Tyler and
Lexington too, with Webster and his battery
on the hill, did much to check the surging
! torrent of the enemy's seeming success. Nor
bo it forgotten that the death of Albert sgd
ncy Johnson, the idol of the southern army,
threw gloom over and almost chilled tho
enthusiasm Of his followers. All these facts
and incidents held the rebels in check until
night closed upon that field of carnage.
IL Is far from my heart to tarnish or attempt
lessen the reputation of any soldier, great or
or small who offered his life for the preserva-
ton of our Union. Criticism of mine will
fall harmless on the mail clad regulations of
Grant or Sherman, and would not offer an
unkind word against either. But l do be-
licve that sycophants and time-serving his
torians have done both injury by unmerited
| adulatiOn.
There were many men injured at Shiloh
besides the wounded and dead in battle.
Thousands of brave, true soldiers and
patriots have been branded with the names OF
"Cravcn and coward" who were only the
victims of the surprise, blunders, and mis-
takes of that Sunday morning.
Grant and Sherman often erred, and cold
and impassioned history in the future will
make those errors visible TO the eyes of theil
warmest worshippers. They were like all
other men, falliblc, often mistaken and some
times badly beaten in battle but their in
domitable energy, GOODNESS and common sense
and not their military science in war, crowned
them heroes and conquerOrs. With that they
and their friends should be content without
rejecting upon the name or fame of any man
