CHANGES ~ THE 10TH BATTALION.

The report from Albany TO the effect that Lieu
tenant Colonel William +. Fitch will retire from the
command of the 10th Battalion was not unexpected
1t has been known for some time that the action was
contemplated and that 1t only question or
time when Major Horatio p Stacpo.e would sue
coed TO the command. Although Colonel Fitch Is
good and capable officer and model soldier, much
of the success attained by his men was due TO the
work Of Major Stacpole, and there can be no doubt
the command vii! flourish under his leadership
The records show that Colonel Fitch entered the
service in 1851 when he enlisted as private in Com
pany E, 10th Regiment. on October Il. 1862, he
Joined the Nth Regiment, New-Iork Volunteers
which was made up OF members of the 10Th Regiment,
and went to the front, where he served until Sep
tember 1863, and returned as a Drevet second heu-
tenant He became adjutant Of the 1Oth Regiment
in May. 1861 and when the regiment was dlsbanded
in 1880 was a private in Company H. In May 1882,
he was private in the reorga nzed battalion, and
was elected TO his present place in 1885. A member
OF the organization writes that with Stacpole as
commander the battalion will have four full COM
panies within six months, and IA waiting list be-

THEIR SUPREMACY NOT DECIDED

John c. wETMoRE EXPRESSES a CRITICAL
OPINION OF THE MTCHAEL-MDUFF RACE.
John c. Wctmore the official Handicapped for
Ney-Jorsev who saw the Michael McDuree match

critically OF II for The Tribune:
so far MS settling the individual supremacy be-
tween the men. the great Michael McDunee match
at Boston on Thursday left the problem still
solved Both showed their ability to follow
closely the terrific pace them. and could prob
ably have gone even faster had their pacing ma
chires been able to carry them at greater speed.
We are novice, on this side at this pacing match
game for the contest was nothing but struggle
between the pacemaklng teams ARD a comparison
OF theory IN handling them effectively.
Discussion has waxed warm since the race as TO
the more effective class OF pacing, whether Nc

and suction OF the big machines out weighed by
their fatigue bringing Is still an open question.
1T was hardly fairly tested on Thursday; for
McDuNee had only three big machines against
hve triples for Michael. In other words, McDuf-
fees pacemaking was divided among three sets OF
men az against five sets OF men for Michael. The
other machines used by these men are not incui-
