arena. A mounted sword combat OF des-
perate nature took place between Duncan Z.
Ross and Lieut.. Mckinney of Ohio, in which
Mckinney was the victor by score of 6
to points. In the sword fight Ross and
Mckinney fought all over the field and
rushed among the crowd, striking at each
other viciously and I'd lingering the lives of
the spectators. Just before thu combat Nc

OF the contest he was hailed the victor with
wild enthusiasm, and he is now the lion of
the day. Lieut. Mckinney, the winner of
the mounted sword combat against Duncan
Ross and the present champion in that par

had narrow escape from being pinned to
the horse Twenty men struggled for
several minutes to pull the spear through

some pushing on the handle of the weapon,
while others pulled on the point. Several

At the time when Columbus started In
search OF the New World, nearly every man,
woman and child in Europe insisted that there
was no New Word to discover. When lie
came back, crowned with success, a large pro-
portion of these good people adhered 10 their
theory;and IL they were alive to-day many Of
them would doubtless insist that America had
never been discovered at all. A man will give

GOV. GoRDoN's ADDRESS.

Mr. PRESIDENT and Fellow-soldieis: i greet
you with far less repidation and infinitely
more pleasure than in the early days of July,
1863, when last met you at Getty sburg. 1
came then. as now, to meet the soldiers of
the union army. It woul be useless to at
tempt utterance OF the thoughts which now
thrill my spirit. The temptation is to draw
the contrast between the scenes which then
we're witnessed and those which greet us here
tonight; to speak Of the men with whom
then marched and Of those whom we met OF
those who have survived to meet again IS
years later, and of those who here foug ht and
fell; of the contrast made by this mass of
manly cordially and good fellowship, with
the long lines of dusty uniforms which then
stood in battle array beneath bristlins
oayons,s and spread ensigns moving in awipi
silence and with sullen tread to grappls
each other In deadly conflict would speak
of all these and Of the motives which i'm
PEELED each, Of the swaying tides Of the three
days battles, Of the final federal victory,
and of its preponderating influence in turn
ing the scales OF war. The nature OF the
pleasing duty assigned me forbids this.
There is, however one suggestion which
dominates my thought at this hour, to pre-
sent which | ask brief indulgence. or all the

more characteristic of the truly brave is the

to Scotland's magnanimous monarch as he
stood gazing into the face OF his slain antag-
onist. That sentiment, immortalized by
Scott in his musical and martial verse, will
associate for all time the name OF Scotland's
King with the great spirits Of the past. How
| grand the exhibitions of the same generous
impulses that character ze the victors upon
this memorable field. My fellow countrymen
OF the north, il may be permitted to speak
for those whom ] represent, let me assure you
that, in tue profoundestdepths of their nat
ure, they reciprocate that generosity with all
the manliness and sincerity of which brave
men are capable. In token OF that sincerity
they join in consecrating for annual patriotic
pilgrimage these historic he ghts which drank
such copious draughts of American blood,
poured so freely in discharge of .uty as each
conceived it; a mecca for the north which so
grandly defended it, mecca for the SOUTH
which SO brsveiy and rei sistently stormed it.
