To the Editor of The Evening Star:


Last Tuesday night, while listening to
the patriotic remarks Of General Lee. my
memory flashed back to a period thirty-six
years ago, when the corner Of 18th and H
streets northwest presented another dis
play Of hero worship" much more spec
tacular and more enthusiastic. 1 refer to
a torchlight demonstration given in honor
of Little Mac by General Blenkers Brig
adler General Mcclellan reviewed the pa
rade from a point within a radius OF
twenty feet from where General Lee spoke.
The house which formerly occupied the
corner upon which the Shoreham now
stands was used at the time by General
Mcclellan as his headquarters. 1 as a lad
reviewed the display from the limb of a
tree which was on the southeast corner of
10Th and H streets. At least 5000 enthu-
siastic soldiers marched with torches. Ii
was a wonderful display in every respect.
