LOGAN ON HORSEBACK
How the General Looked when Mounted
on Hts Favorite.

on HIS Fsvorite.
Prom the Rider and Driver.
Mai. Gen. John A. Logan made a conspicuous
figure in the saddle. His coal black hair and
tremendous mustache gave him a f.rocious ap-
pearance, though in reality his disposition was
genial one. But he often bad fits Of passion,
and then his eyes blazed. but these ebullitions
Of temper were evanoscent and they usually
occurred on the battlefelds. Logan ~ss an ex-
ceedingly good hor-eman. his seat being arm,
yet easy. When galioping he used 10 lean
backward, his feet well 20 the front.
AT critical moments in an engagement he wus
wont TO go at tremendous speed toward the
threatened part of his line Of battle Then he
was magnificent. His hat jsmmed down over
his eyes, his eyes bright and his long mustAcbe
waving in the air gave him an odd look. while
the terrific pace of his steed was appalling. He
overcame every obstacle with ease, and il was q
beautiful sight 10 see his horse 20 flying over
fences. bitches or fallen trees while the rider
sat IN the saddle with eaae and apparent reck-
less indifference.
Logan was the Idol Of his troops, for they
had learned that BLACK Jack" was . fearless
and stubborn fighter. He wss always as ready
TO lead u charge as order one. When matters
were going fayorabiy and the line was holding
its own Logan would ride slowly along In per-
feet peace with himself Then he WAS amiabie,
and though be disliked cheers on such occa-
sions, he always Acknowledged them by n good
humored nod of his head
Logan was always neatly dressed. but have
seen him at the close Of battle when he looked
az il he aud his horse had taken dust bath to-
gether. While he never hesitated 70 push his
men forward when il seemed necessary. no man
could be more considerate of the comfort and
welfare of his troops. Woe TO the quarter

tions for Logan's command. while ordnance
officers feared his frown when ammunition hap
pened 20 run short Logan possessed many Of
the qualities that make good generals, and he
deservedly ranked high among the wearers Of
the double star.

won. She represents the American woman in
politics in a strictly American manner Her
bringing up was in no easy school. A frontiers
mans daughter, trained to work ard to work
hard, she was married at an early age to poor

A few points, in brief, are: "Governor Leete was born in Hunting shire, England, in 1911. He studied law and became registrar of the Bishop of Ely's court. On account of the treatment of the Puritans he, with colony of young men, came to Connecticut and settled near Say brook. He was an intimate friend of Lord Fehwick. la 1889 their vessel came to New Haven, which was at that time known by the name of Quinnipiack. They called the harbor Fair Haven. Governor Leete was honored both in New Haven and Gull ford as governor, and was one of those most instrumental in bringing about the union of the two colonies. He died in 16S3."
 An informal discussion followed in which Professor s. B. Baldwin, William Trow- bridge and Mir. Bowers took part. On the motion of General Merwin vote of thanks was extended to Dr. Steiner.
