Niles. The review took place upon the spot where, thirty-nine years ago, on a Sunday morning, the confederate brig ade Of General Manigault. of Hind mans division. was reDulsed in des- perate charge by portion of General Wilder's brigade of cavalry
 At the conclusion of the review the Seventh calavry went through its new calisthenic drill. The troopers were dis mounted and to the accompaniment of the band performed the evOlutions. The president at first was disinclined to wit ness a drill on Sunday, but upon its being represented to him that the men were particularly anxious that he should see the drill and as this was the only opportunity he would rave to do so, he consented. Luncheon was served soon afterward and then divine services, which the president attended, were held on the park grounds.
 These services were conducted by Evangelist Porter and were of a very | impressive nature. At their conclusion l the president made short address to l the soldiers. He complimented them upon their soldierly appearance and also for the splendid drill they had shown. He said he had enjoyed his ride with them very much. His remarks were frequently interrupted by clapping and when he concluded the soldiers, led l by Colonel Baldwin, gave him three hearty cheers. The president also com plimented the members of troop B of the State Guard, under command of Captain Fyffe, which formed guard of honor at the station. and which also ac- companied him on his visit to Lookout Mountain.
 At the conclusion of the presidents remarks and as he was about to depart 1 from the field, the soldiers called for Garry Owen" the selection to the strains of which the Seventh Cavalry went into the battle Of the Little Big Horn, where Custer and so many other brave men lost their lives.
 Yes, give us Garry Owen,' " said the president The hand struck up the spirited march and rendered it amid the cheers of the crowd.
 i A very pleasing incident occurred shortly before the president resumed his inspection of the battlefield. A del- | egation of citizens of Georgia, headed by H. R. Harper of Rome, presented to 1 him a cane cut from the Chickamauga battlefield It is of hickory, with sil- yer head and band suitably inscribed. On the head is the following:
 | Presented to President Roosevelt by Citizens of the Seventh congressional district of Georgia, September 7th, 1902"
 | On the band are the names Of six of the generals who participated in the battle of Chickamauga-Longs Wheeler, Hood, Rosecrans, Thomas and Boynton. The Seventh Georgia district was the home of President Roosevelt's mother. and he alluded to this fact in accepting the gift The president re- sponded to the presentation as follows:
 My dear MT. Wright: I?cannot say how touched and pleased l am. can imagine no gift that would have pleased me more. ! want to mention one cu- rious thing. You have on here General WheeIers name. I served under him at Santiago. General Hood fought in com mand of the southern army. One of his sons was in my regiment and fought with great gallantry. l am so much obliged, I cannot tell you how I appre- ciate it. No gift could have been more appropriate and given in pleasanter spirit and exactly at the right time. l thank you most warmly"
 When he resumed his inspection of the battlefield, the president dispensed with the cavalry escort and entered carriage with Genera Boynton. Secre- tary Corteyou and Acting Grand Mas ter Hannahan. of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen, whose convention will begin here tomorrow. Snodgrass tower, which is seventy feet high, was soon reached and notwithstanding the warm weather the president walked to the ton, where a splendid view of the battlefield was obtained. General Boynton and Captain Smart pointed out the many points of interest and eX- plained the position occupied by the diff ferent commands.
 The president was greatly interested lin many of the monuments which mark the battlefield and after reading the in- scription on that erected By the state of Kentucky, had Assistant Secretary Barnes make a copy of it.
 The drive extended through Mission arv Ridge to Orchard Knob. Along the route the president frequently was greeted by groups of people to whom he responded by raising his hat At one noint on the road a number of children waved small American flags as the president passed,
 When Orchard Knob was reached the president walked through it to the trol- tley cars which conveyed the party to the foot of Lookout Mountain. At the ton of the mountain large crowd had assembled, which cheered the president las he left the car. Accompanied by General Boynton and the other mem bers of his party, the president pro- ceeded to Point Lookout. where mag nificent view of the Valley of the Ten nessee and surrounding country was had. General Boynton welcomed him in the following words: T am glad to welcome an American president, and glad to see you and your secretary here"
 The president responded with a smile and a bow. General BOynton then de- scribed to the president briefly but graphically the different operations con- nected with the battles about Chatta- nooga. He found the president an at- ltentiye listener. who frequently inter- rupted the story to ask questions. When
