a dinner party of two at the Chittenden
Hotel here last night, celebrating a pecu.

Drake was cavalryman in the Union
army In the civil war and Colonel Bassett
was member of the confederate cavalry.
Mayor Drake was relating to Colonel Bias
sett today how when serving with Sheri-
dan. near Winchester. Va. he once came
suddenly upon a confederate cavalryman
while accommodating near the confederate
lines, and both being completely surprised
raised their carbines and fired simulta-
neously.
The confederate fell from his horse" said
Drake. land I galloped back to our lines

Colonel Bassett questioned him closely
in regard to the matter and then said:
Il am the man you shot and who shot
