40 years ago, with the exceptions that
are made necessary by the change in
arms and battle formations. The ma
newer ground will cover an area of
some so square miles, and the maneu-
vers will be the largest ever held in
this country. !
There has been little change In the.
physical aspect of, the old battle-ground
which is now being surveyed and the
chief points marked out for the coming
conflict.
A sparsely settled community is en-
braced in the territory covered by the
battle-ground, which is q succession of
beautiful valleys, intersected by small
Many crossroads are encountered over
the old battlefield, which lead to hills
running up the sides of the Blue Ridge
mountains.
Bull Run gets its name from a small
river in eastern Virginia, which joins
the Occoquan, a tributary of the Poto-
mac river, Is miles southwest of Wash
ington, D. c.
Near it occurred two important bat
ties in the American civil war. The
confederates, under the Immediate
command of Beauregard. about 81, 900
in number, defeated the federals, under
Mcdowell, about %, 900 strong, July Fl,
1861. The loss of the federals was
nearly 5000; of confederates. 1,752.
This battle Of Bull Run was called by
the confederates the first battle of Ma
naSsas. ~ - + ~
Tie c~onfederates under Gen. Lee,
about 10000 all told, defeated about
$4,000 federals under Pope, August %,
1862. The loss of the federals was
about $4,000 men; of co1federates,
S,400 soldiers. This was called by the
confederates the second battle of Ma
nassas. The battle of August 20 is
sometimes called the battle of Grave
ton.
During the first battle of Bull Run
Gen. Barton Bee, of the confederate
forces, selected a position on a large
hill south Of the turnpike, known as
the Henry House hill. This house re-
ceiyed its name from its original own
ers, and to-day still stands as a monu-
ment of two great conflicts.
This hill, or which the old Henry
house stands, lies south of the War
renton turnpike. On the east it slopes
down to an afluent. of Bull Run and
not far from it, known as Young's
branch, and on the west it is bounded
by the road which runs south. from
Sudley Springs to Manassas I

Genet's son died the other day in
New York, where he had liveu all his 80
years. His father, the minister, who
came to this country in 1893, remained
and became a citizen: he was a friend
and admirer of George Clinton, and
when in his middle life a son was born
to him he gave the boy Clinton's name.
So when George Clinton Genet died so
recently New York took-not of course,
so much interest as in a prize fight or
something really important-but a de-
cent degree of interest.
For it was a curious fact that this
gray-haired old man had heard In his
youth from his fathers own lips per-
sonal "reminiscences of both the French
and the American revolutions; and that
thus a single life interviewed between
Washington and the present day.

uncertain business. The number Of
