in the marshes of Florida, but he was not
one whit better than score of other Off
GERS of the regiment. among whom were
men who were subsequently to become ia
nous In the Mexican war and In the civil
war. Prominent among these officers stand
forth the names of Harvey, Hardee, L. p.
Graham, May and Beall.
After the first campaign in Florida the
regiment was sent north and a camp of
instruction was established near Trenton,
n. j. A few happy months were spent
here. and the regiment was again ordered
to Florida for service. Here 1t was that
Harvey, Hardee and May showed the quail
tiles that were afterward to distinguish
them above their fellows in the service of
their country. All of the officers distin
guished themselves soldiers and brought
credit to their regiment.
After their second campaign in Florida
the regiment was divided and part was
stationed at Fort Jesup and part at Baton
Rouge. In the early summer of 1912 an
economical streak was developed in Con-
gress and the army was the first portion
of the government service to feel the we ght
of congressional disapprobation. For even
at that time the members of Congress had
established the time-worn rule, When In
doubt about finances, cut down the army"
A proposition was advanced to disband the
I'd Reg ment of Dragons. A howl of in
dignation went up from all parts of the
country. This regiment had been organ
lied less than ten years, but in that time
it had seen service that even veteran or
CARNATIONS of this day and time would
envy. 1t had helped to maintain the honor
and glory of the American arms and had
delivered vast portion of the most beauti-
full and fertile region of the country from
the hands of the savage. Its battle flags
had futtered over many hard-fought fields
and its men had suffered the hardships of a
climate The bill disbanding
the regiment was passed by the House, but
was rejected by the Senate and compro-
mise was finally effected whereby the dra-
COON regiment became ''riflemen and were
dismounted AS rifiemen they We're sta
toned at Fort Jesup and Washita at the
outbreak of the war with Mexico and they
were ordered to join General Taylor in the
first expedition into Mexico. Colonel Tw ggs
rendered valiant service throughout this
short and successful conflict and rose to
the rank of a major general of volunteers
with brevet of the same rank In the regu-
lar establishment. After serving with Tay-
lor in the principal battles during the first
part of the war the regiment joined Scott
and participated in the march to and cap

NEWPORT, R. l., August 81. 1903.
1t Is still difficult to predict as to the
balance of the season. but it is safe to say
no very large or elaborate functions will
be put through. Still there is widespread
longing for few days mad canter when
the yacht races are over and it looks as if
the last of August and the first week of
September would be extremely lively. The
horse and dog show will attract all the
sports, as usual, and a few days of active

regiment is now known as the 4th Cavalry.
the regimental designation having never
been changed since the war.
The Civil War.
At the commencement Of the war of the
rebellion there was probably no regiment
in the service that was scattered over 80
much country was the ID Cavalry. Its
old colonel was IN command of the section
of the army stationed in Texas and it's vari-
Gus troops were stationed in every section
of the west. They worked their way east,
fighting as they came. That part which
was farthest west participated in some OF
the battles with the army in the west and
that part nearest the east arrived in this
section of the country in time to participate
in the bates fought here. Thus a part of
the regiment was engaged with the confed-
crate forces at Wilson's Creek, Mo, said
by some historians to be the first battle of
the war, and another part of the regiment
took part in the peninsular campaign. The
regiment was brought together by 1863,
however, and from then on to the close of
the war fought as a whole. Its flag bears
the titles of thfrty-two pitched battles in
which it participated, and the records of
the War Department show the names of
numerous officers who rendered themselves
conspicuous for their gallantry. Gen. AL
fred Pleasanton of this city. one of the
most distinguished cavalry leaders Of the
Generals Cooke, Harvey, 7. J. Wood, l. N.
Palmer. Sumner L. P. Graham, Frank
Wheaton. Blake, s. H. Starr and John
Green. Major General Buford, one of the
best known of the Union leaders of the war,
was officer of the I'd Cavalry: SO was
Maj. Gen Wesley Merritt, Gen. Rufus In
gals, Colonel Noyes. Colonel Cakes, Cen
eral Stanley, Gen. g. D. Sturgis and Gen.
D. B. Sackett. for many years the head of
one of the staff departments of the army.
Probably the most distinguished cavalry
officer who attained general rank from this
regiment was Maj Gen. D. McH. Gregg
the officer who fought Stuart in Maryland
and Pennsylvania, at the battle of Gettys-
burg. and was later captured by the con
federate leader in Virginia.
In the Confederate Service.
But the I'd Cavalry did not confine itself
to furnishing general officers to the Union
forces. Hardee, the author of the tactics
used by the army for many years, and one
of the officers who had distinguished them
selves in Florida and Mexico. left the army
in 81 and took service with the confed-
eracy. He rose to the rank of lieutenant
general in the southern service. May also
left the regiment and went with the SOUTH
