WHERE HAMPTON. HUNTED.
CINCINNATI. OHIO. November r.
President Roosevelt is speeding down
through Kentucky tonight on his way
to Smeed's. Miss. about twenty-five miles
north of vickeburg for a four-days
hear hunt The place selected for the
.hrnt is some miles from the railroad and
is in the region which was formerly the
favorite hunting ground Of General Wade
Hampton, the famous leader of the Con-
federate Black Horse Cavalry. General
Hanlpton at one time owned plantation
il, this vicinity and hunted black bear in
tft. cane brakes with horse and hounds.
.lsefore the war he is said to have killed
more than fifty bears in a single season
some of them with knife. Years ago
the President and General Hampton
planned a hunt in this region. but it was
never made.
The Presidents trip across Ohio to-day
was pleasant but uneventful. Despite
the fact that the itinerary had not been
published in advance, crowds We're wait
i.,r at all the stations. and there We're
plenty of cheers as the train swept by.
