THE BLACK PRINCES ARMY.
rhe Largest English Fleet Ever Assem-
bled Took the Soldiers to France.

The Largest English Fleet Ever Assem-
bled Took the Soldiers to France.
Mr.. W. o. Stoddard's serial. with
the Black Prince, gives in St. Nicho-
las an account of the splendid army
that accompanied the prince to the bat
tie of Crecy. Mr.. Stoddard says:
1t was the largest English feet yet
assembled, and the army going on
board was also the best with which any
English king had ever put to sea. 1t
consisted of picked men only. OF these,
1000 were men-at-arms, 5000 were
Irish, IL, 600 were Welsh, but the most
carefully trained and disciplined part
Of the force consisted of 10000 bow
men. During whole year had Edward
and his son and his generals toiled to
select and prepare the men and the weap-
ons with which they were to meet the
highly famed chivalry of the continent
An army selected from a nation of per-
haps 1000, 900 of people was to contend
with an army collected from France
with her 10000, 600, and from such al
lies of hers as Germany and Bohemia,
REINFORCED by large numbers of paid
mercenaries Among these latter were
the crossbowmen of Genoa sold to Phil
ip by the masters of that Italian oil
garchy.
Edwards adventure had seeming
of great rashness, for already it was re-
ported that the French king had mus
tered 100, 600 men. Full many gal
liant cavalier in armor of proof may
well have wondered to hear, moreover,
that Edward III, accounted the fore
most general of his time, proposed to
meet superior numbers of the best
lances of Europe with lightly armored
men on foot They knew not yet of the
new era that was dawning upon the
science of war. Edward and his bow
men were to teach the world more than
one new lesson before that memorable
campaign was over. Before this he
had shown what deeds might be wrought
upon the sea by ships prepared and
manned and led by himself. He had SO
crippled the naval power of his enc
mics that there was now no hostile feet
strong enough to prevent his present
undertaking, although Philip had man
aged to send cut some scores of cruisers
to do whatever harm they could.
