ANOTHER NEW STORY oFLINcoLN.
He Played Ball the Day Before He Was
Nominated.

One among many memories of
prominent public characters stored
away by Mr.. Edward w. Cox of the
Dennison House is Il recollection Of
having played hand-ball at Springfield,
ILL.,, with Abraham Lincoln the day be-
fore the latter was nominated for the
Presidency.
Before the nomination of Mr.. Lin
coin, Mr.. Cox was travelling in the
West for an oil house. During his
travels he for several days used trains
which were full of people bound for
the Chicago convention. Mr.. Cox and
fellow drummer, who was out for a
GAINESVILLE ink house, polled all the
travellers they could reach and found
the utmost enthusiasm for the Illinois
lawyer.
Thoroughly convinced that Lincoln
would be the nominee, the pair of
drummers took a run down to Spring.
tleld to see the coming man. They
found no excitement there, and on ask
ing to see Mr.. Lincoln were told he
could be found the next day, which was
the one before the convention, down at
the ball park playing hand-baIl, a game
of which Mr.. Lincoln was passionately
fond. Next day they visited the park
and there they found the man of destiny
bHslly engaged in batting ball against
blank brick wall and endeavoring to
strike it in such way that it would re-
bound out of reach of his opponent.
There was quite a crowd sitting about
watching the game.
MIR. Lincoln wore, among other gar
ments, long-tailed black coat and an
old felt hat, which tended to magnify
his tall, ungainly form and prominent
features and he looked quantity pictur-
esque as he danced about, now hitting
the sphere a hard blow and again
"babying it, so easily that it barely
reached his antagonists. When Mr..
Lincoln sat down on the players bench,
having finished a triumphant turn, Mr..
Cox was introduced to him. Mr.. Lin
coin received him cordially, asked if he
ever played the game, commiserated
with him when Mr. Cox said he didn't
understand it and offered to teach him.
Mr. Cox, however, was thinking of the
convention and said:
"Mr. Lincoln, believe you will be
the nominee" Mr.. Lincoln laughed
and said: Il think not l believe
those Eastern chaps will euchre us out
OF 1t, but you are very kind to think |
will be nominated, and l am much
obliged to you"
Finally one of the players dropped
out, and Mr.. Lincoln invited Mr.. Cox
to ''take hand" Mr.. Cox of course
did so, for he was anxious to play with
the man he was sure would be nomin-
ated, and the game lasted some time,
Mr.. Lincoln displaying great skill and
strength. When the game was finished
Mr.. Lincoln kept score for another set
of players by notching the points on
stick and calling out ''score'' in loud
voice. Cincinnati Times Star.
