Book OF The Royal Blue for July

The July number of the Book OF
the Royal Blue which is published
regularly every month by the Balti-
more x Ohio R.R., is especially in
teresting. II has been the custom
to devote the July number every
year to stories of the Civil War.
and the present number contains a
graphic description of the battle of
Antietam, illustrated by photographs
taken shortly after the battle. as
well as photos of more recent date.
Particularly remarkable is the pho.
tograph, used as a frontispiece of
President Lincoln interviewing Gen
eral Mcclellan at Antietam, in Oct.
1902, and the Burnside Bridge,
showing an army train crossing
over 1t. These photographs were
loaned and published by permis-
sion of the War Department. An
accurate description is given of the
position of the Union forces in the
battle, in accordance with reports
of General Mcclellan, while the
graphic description Of the closing
scene at Burnside Bridge is quoted
from a war correspondent who was
present at the time. An official map
published by the Government enables
the reader to follow the battle close
ly.
The movement OF troops to and
from the battle of Antetam greatly
affected the lines of the Baltimore
& Ohio r. r., which we're then con.
stantly in state of demoralization
from the continued fighting in its
territory.
The number also contains an in l..
teresting war romance of Virginia,
entitled "a Womanly Woman" a
poem by Dr.. Thos. Calyer, Of Wash
ington on fThe March Of the Gal.
