largely because of a recent order of his
directing Grimes's Battery. Of Ports
mouth. 10 turn out TO protect baseball

benefit OF the Lodge OF Elks Of that
city. The story IS too absurd for me
20 notice" said the Governor.
However. ne showed a letter from Cap
tain Warren. the commander Of the bat
terry. stating facts which probably served
as n foundation for the canard Il seems
that some time ago there was TO be a
Confederate celebration in Norfolk and
that the Governor was asked to order the
battery from Portsmouth 20 parade. His
ENcellency informed the committee that
N Captain Warren had no objection t.
parading he had none. and that his letter
TO the committee would serve - authority
for the commander Of the battery.
However Captain Warren would not
parade without an order from the Gov
ernor and commander The re-
fusal 90 parade probably caused the story
TO I've written.
