 Yesterday was a day of weddings. There were eight marriages during the day and evening, a record number for the year. It was day of festiyity in many a home.

One of these wedding parties departed for Union station late in the afternoon, their progress being an- nounced by the blowing of tin horns. The hack containing the bridal couple was decorated with streaming white ribbons. Six young ladies and gentle men rode with the bride and groom, and if this hack was loaded it was nothing to the following hack, which carried just a dozen-young ladies dressed in white and their male friends. This couple certainly got a great send off, and at the station the congratu- lations of which they were the recipi- ents were marked and effusive.

The visitors played Il scientific and clever game, but they had opposed to them strong. rugged players who hustle from the time the game starts until the finish. When the first half was over the score stood 15 to IA in favor of the G team. Tn the second half the c boys still pushed the game and the New Haveners tried hard to keep up the pace. It was a killing, one, however. and when the time was at an end the score stood 24 to 20 in favor of the G boys.
 Co G's team was composed of Beg ley and Dunphy. center; Begley and Mcfarland, guards; and Connor. Stein and Kelly, forwards. The New Haven team was made up of Sween- cy and Felsted. forwards; Mccormick. center: Daun and Sullivan. guards. Molen and Hagensteine, substitutes.

One case in which favorite wal
horse baked at a critical time is re
lated in the life of Gen. w. S. Han
cock. 1t was the third day on the
bloody field of Gettysburg, and the
historian relates:
las soon as the enemy's skirmishes
made their appearance, Gen. Hancoci
again rode along his lines to the right
to encourage his troops and to mott
fy the commanders that the enemy
was about to make his assault It.was
quite remarkable that the generals
fayorite horse, one he had ridden in
many battles and always found reli
able, became so terrified, just as the
enemy's column was approaching our
line, that it became utterly powerless
and could not be forced to move
when the general wished to ride to
the threatened point.
He was therefore obliged to Dor
row a horse from one of his staff

Ger and saying to him:
You can afford to have a horse OF
this kind, Captain, on such an occa-
sion as this, but 1 cannot"
A few hours later Gen. Hancock
was shot from his borrowed horse.

before it struck him in the thigh and
carrying into the wound several splin-
tiers of wood and a wrought iron nail.
Did his own horse have some pre-
monition of the danger ahead when
he refused to carry his owner into the
line of battle?
Gen. Hancock was carried from the
field in an ambulance when assured
that his troops had been victorious.
He recovered and returned to the serv-
ice. A horse was shot from under him
when his command met defeat at
