mediocre, but as horseman he eXceled all MS
classmates. On his horse York he leaped bar
) feet 611 inches high and established record
which was not broken for more than half
century. An Illustration of the cadets horse
manship is given by a spectator who happened
to visit the academy at this time. Major Rich

reviewing company of cavalry in the rid
ing hall. Old Herschberger the riding master.
placed the pole considerably higher than his
head, and then yelled: Cadet Grant,
At the same instant a clean faced. slender
youth mounted on a powerful chestnut horse,
leaned forward in his saddle and dashed down
the hail. Some feet from the bar the rider tight
ened the grip of his legs on the animals body,
and horse and rider sprang into the air as one
being. and the hoofs of the horse cleared the
barrier 50 closely as to leave it quiverng.
Very we'll done growled Herschberger.
The cadet tried the leap three mora times and
succeeded in all except one. When he was con-
graduated by the superintendent and a group Of
visitors he said:
Yes York is a wonderfully good horse"
Though reticent and reserved, young Grant
enjoyed fun when it did not involve deceit. On
one occasion he had chicken in his which
was cooking in a saucepan to fill the vacuum of
supper. Suddenly there came q knock at the
door. AS suddenly Grant hid the chicken under
the bed. When the tack" or tactical officer,
entered the room, he said with a sniff of the air:
Peculiar smell in her -
Yes we've noticed it," said Grant.
BE careful that something does not catch
fire" said the tack as he turned toward the
door.
Thank you. we will replied the cadet with
q smile.
Frederick Dent Grant showed on more than
one occasion that he did not inherit his fathers
ability as a mathematician.
Many are the stories told of Frederick's fights
with upper class men who tried to Jump" him.
The son of the general had been a 'plebe" only
twenty-four hours when a cadet much larger
than himself said something that sounded as an
insult to his father. Frederick pitched into his
fellow Immediately and gave him sound drub-
bing A few days later the "plebe' class

The slowness o9 his body and mind at this
time Of his life is shown in Grants list of de
merits He was often late. He was late for
church late for drill, late for parade. Once he
sat down on post from to q o'clock in the
morning and was given eight demerits in con-
sequence Twice in his second year as squad
marcher he failed to report delinquencies, and
was fined five dement's for each offence Arnia-
biitv was doubtless the cause of the two last
offences, at times when he did not want to get
his fellows into trouble

place Many sons of rich planters came 10 be
regarded as social lions. They could dance
and talk with the women. At the balls they
were envied and sought after by the Northern

Mathematics was about the only study in
which he excelled, and near the close of his
course Grant made up his mind TO be a pro-

According to the testimony of many Of the
future generals classmates, the fare at the
academy at that time not only meagre. but
almost uuralatable. The first dinner which he
had quickly disillusionized the dreams of

boys all greeted with "ba! ba.' as soon as it
