Union and Confederate, commanded, and
troops from typical sections fought; so
that by sec ring and preserving those
fields intact, as representative examples
of the greatest battles of the rebellion, the
Government win be able to perpetuate their
history in concrete physical form for all
time to come.
REP RESENTATIvE BATTLES.
Each of those three battles, however,
was in a measure representative of the
whole country. Twenty-nino of the thirty
three States east OF the Rocky Mountains,
which comprised the Union at the outbreak
of the war, had troops in the Chicka-
mauga and Chattanooga campaigns and
five of those States-Kentucky, TenIes-
see, Missouri, West Virginia, and Mary
land-had troops on both sides. Nearly
every Northern State, and likewise nearly
every Southern, was engaged at Gettysburg,
and at Shiloh were troops from twenty
different States, North and South.
The battle OF Chicamauga (September
19 and 90, 1862 is regarded by military
experts as the best demonstration of the
pluck, endurance, prowess, ana strategy
OF the American soldier ever given.
Measured by percentages of losses and the
duration of the fighting, IL wa S the deadliest
battle of modern times.--
It's sequel and companion piece, Chat
tanooga November 24 and 20, 1867, is
considered the grandest spectacular en-
gagement So Getty sburg tJuly 1, 2,
and 8, 1881 corresponding with Chicka-
mauga for Eastern operations and surpass-
ing it in worldwide renown, registered
the bieh-water mark of American courage
and achievement in arms and stands to-day
as the pre- eminent battlefield of the
Western continent
AS to Shiloh, it furnished an admirable
example of the peculiar characteristics
OF the American soldier and his adaptabiiity
in sudden and unexpected emergencies and
constitutes fitting third in the trio of our
greatest batuefields.

JOCKEY CLARE'S UGLY RIDE
Repeats Some Of His Last Winters
Crooked Performances.
Yanks c. o. DIS Head Nearly Off.
Never Giving Him Chance to
Get Near the Leaders.

Notwithstanding the nice day the usual
Saturday afternoon crowd was not on
hand at the Alexander Island track. Only
thirteen bookmakers put up their states
to handle the talents money, and they were
not kept very busy. They had way the
best of the days sport, their heaviest Win
ming being on the fifth event, which was
won by 80 to 1 shot, neither the first
nor second choice being one-two.
Clare rode a very suspicious race on C.
O.. d. in the third event. The horse was
heavily played, and should have been some
where up in front. The boy took him
well in hand, and choking him off, saw that
be never got near the leaders.
The judges evidently sa W nothing crooked
ia the race as no questions were asked.
In the second event Clement stumbled
while going down the back stretch and
famed himself. Neel, who rode him, see
ing that he had no chance of being placed,
very sensibly pulled up. After the race
couple OF one dollar bettors, who had
evidently lost dollar or so on the horse,
went to the Judges stand and said that
Neel mad pulled him. The charge was so
palpably false that no attention was paid
to it.
IN the opening event the talent did not
fare so badly, as they succeeded in landing
a strongly played second choice. Pattie
was the tip, and closed at fours with the
favorite, Louis Quatorze, at TO 2
Kane jumped to the front with Pattie
and W as never headed winning in gallop
by four lengths from Rufus who beat Velvet
Rose a head.
The next race also went to a second choice.
p rince Klowortb was q favorite throughou
but was not placed. Duke of Fife piloted
his field the whole trip and won by a neck.
The talent came back and played both
c. o. ID. and Chiddar heavily. They were
doomed TO another upset, however, as
Pulitzer, a to l shot, came fast in the
stretch and in hard drive won by a neck
from Luray.
The first winning fayorite of the day
turned up in the next race. Forest looked
to have the race cinched and was played
from his opening price of 6 TO 8 down
to z to 10.
Con Lucy led the coming out OF the
stretch, where Forest esttOokcommandandw won
cleverly by a head from Rama, 20 TO
shot
Dillon j. and Benvolio were the tips in
the fifth event, the former closing at 8 TO
10 and the latter at 8 TO 8. They were
neither of them one-two at the end.
Pat Woodcock got off last and ran in that
position to the head of the stretch, where
he came through and Won galloping.
Finnwater was pTohibitive favoTite in
the closing event, going to the post at 10
8. He got off in front and won all the way.

Apropos to the approaching Decoration
Day season. ii is interesting to note the
recent departure by the Federal Govern
ment in establishing National Military
Parks on the three greatest battlefields of
the civil war, to serve as permanent OBJ
jectlessons of American patriotism and
valor. The Chickamauga and Chatta-
nooga Park is now nearing completion, and
similar parks at Gettysburg and Shiloh
were authorized at the late session of
Congress.
None of these National Military Parks
will be merely ornamental pleasure grounds
in any sense, and no work of purely
decorative character win be done on them.
But the essential idea is to restore them,
as nearly as may be, to the condition they
were in at the times of the battles, and to
keep them continuously in that condition,
indicating the landmarks without partisan
or sectional bias, and granting rigid JUS
tice alike to the vanquished and yictoB.

memorable contests of the war in the

mentous conflict in the east, and in all

with respect to their troops at Chickamauga

sylyania, New Jersey, Massachusetts,
A Iabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georg-
ia. Mississippi, North and South Carolina,
Texas and Virginia. Many OF these com
missions during the past year have visited
the fields and made excellent progress
in the work Of location. ONE OF the states
have each appropriated as much as SlOO,-

A GREAT MEDALLION.
Under the recent la W establishing Ma
tional Park at Gettysburg, introduced by
Gen. Daniel E. sickIes, and approved IN
February last, the government will at once
proceed to acquire the 800 acres and rights
of way over avenues owned by the Gettys-
burg Battlefield Memorial Association,
and also to acquire other lands on the battle
field by purchase or condemnation. Addl-
tional roads will be opened, and tablets
will be set up, definitely marking the lines
of the troops on both sides. The rights

zatious to plats of ground on which markers
aud monuments have already been placed,

embossed letters whltened, making the
inscriptions distinct at a distance. Each
plate will contain from 200 to 400 words
OF historical text and will be fastened to an
iron post Set In concrete. They mark the
positions of army headquarters, corps, di-
visions aud brigades, both Union and Con-
federate, and the parts taken by each or
ganiZatioD are conciseiy stated.
1t is left to the State having troops in
the battles to erect monuments to regi-
ments and batteries, and to the military
societies and the larger organizations, such
as corps, divisions aud brigades, to erect
their own monuments. Nine handsome
granite monuments, all different, to the
United States Regulars, have been set up
by the Government, at a cost of 81 800
each. Eight pyramdal monuments, each
ten feet high, constructed of eight-irch
shells, have been erected to mark the
spots where brigade commanders ou each
side were killed,
Each battery engaged is to be marked
in its most important fighting position by
guns aud carriages of the patterns used in
the battle. There are thirty-five of these
positions for each army on the Chickamauga
field alone five observation towers of
iron aud steel, seventy feet high, have
been built, two on Missionary Ridge and
three on Chickamauga field, from which
the whole landscape now appears clear
and Tecog guiZable with its markings.
All designs and inscriptions for monu-
ments and tablets have to be submitted
first TO the Chickamauga National Park
Commission and receive approval by the
Secretary of War, in order to insure rea-
sonable uniformity and harmony as well as
artistic propriety and historical accuracy.
All monuments must be either of durable
stone or bronze, and all inscriptions must
conform to the official reports and be
purely historical. The Chickamauga Ma
tional Park Commission have been busy
constantly since the park was authorized
by Congress in 1890, in studying and
locating the fighting lines and positions
on each side, in cooperation with State
Commissions composed OF men who Were in
the battles, and they have now nearly
finished their work The States having
