Sheridan's Other Ride.

''NOt much of a giant in SIZE" as he
expresses it, was lad who enlisted
in the Twenty sixth Massachusetts
regiment when he was thirteen years
and three months old. Because Of his
youth it was generally his fortune to
be detailed at headquarters. When,
i'll 1864, his regiment was attached to
the new Nineteenth corps he became
orderly to General Philip II. Sheridan,
and in that capacity, as he tells the
story in the Boston Globe, he took part
in an earlier ride at Winchester than
that which made the General famous.
Says the veteran:
Gone day in the. dead of winter,
when matters were pretty quiet, there
was quite a fall of SNOW at Win
chester and it occurred to Sheridan
that he ought to have sleigh-ride. A
pair of old runners was found in some
ones vacated stable, and the problem
of body for the runners was solved
by some rowing soldiers who ran
across an old bath-tub in a deserted
home, and brought it to headquarters.
Just the thingv said Sheridan.
"The blacksmiths were ordered to
prepare the outfit for use as sleigh.
They did their best. The old tub was
attached to the runners, pole was
put on for pair of horses, and with
numerous buffalo-robes the turnout

lrishmen Good Football plavers

The increase in athletes Of foreign
lineage Oh the Yale and other college
football eleyens is a feature. At
Princeton names indicating Dutch
descent have always been frequent.
At Yale just now Irishmen predomin-
ate among the names Of players on
the athletic team, who are not Ameri-
can, and the number of Americans
and those of Irish descent is about
equally divided.
At one time during the Yale-Holy
Cross game majority of the Yale
team were Irishmen, and the Holy
Cross players said they felt right in
the hands of their friends. OF the
Yale varsity eleven this fall there
are five players of Irish descent
Captain Hogan, Kenney, Shevlin.
Rockwell and Quill. OF the second
team there is still a greater propor
ton. AS made up at one time recently
it was practically all Irish, as follows:
MacA[ahon, McCay, Xineon, Hooks
hemer, Erwin, Turner, Finn, Owsley,
Mccoy, NIcDuf1ie and White. OF
these, Irwin, Turner and Owsley alone
claim American lineage. Hocksheimer
is not the only German on the squad,
however, Frankel, Ortmayer, Hendel,
Selee, Pfeiffer and Schermerhorn be-
ing still OH the list.
OF the Yale permanent football
coaches for this season Field Coach
Charley Rafferty, is of Irish descent.
as is Backfeld Coach W. Ledyard.
Mitchell and, of course, Mike Murphy.
'Turn us loose down among the
Orangemen with their orange flags
waving at Princeton, and see what
We'll do" said one Yale player the
other day. According to him the Yale
eleven ought to play so per cent hard
err against Princeton than against Har-
ward.
