 Hartford, August S.--Newspaper life in Hartford has been re-enforced the past month by the change of man. agement in the Telegram, that paper having become the property of D. w BoWles and J. D. Byrne, both experi- enced journalists, MT. Bowles is son of the late Samuel Bowles, founder of the Springfield Republican, and the brother-in-law of President Thomas Hooker of the New Haven Trust com pany. He has been in New York and Chicago journalism for years. He had 8 long training on the New York Times, and from that metropolitan journal he went to Chicago, where he was publisher of the Inter- Ocean for g. number of years. The past year he has been connected with the New York Daily News. Mir. Byrne who is con nected with him In the purchase of the Telegram, was the Daily News politi- cal writer. New quarters have been secured for the Telegram on Church street and the whole plant will be re- moved in a short time from Central Row, where it has been located since 1t started in the newspaper world. The paper is to be enlarged and a new modern press will be used for it's pub lication. The new Church street head quarters will be ready by the first week in September Under the new management the paper will be demo- cratic, representing that party with decided ability and intelligence. There is @ good field in Hartford and adjoin- ing towns for paper such as Messrs. [Bowles and Byrne have planned to make The Telegram. A Sunday edi- tion has been talked of and that no doubt will come in the end. There is ample room for first-class Hartford Sunday paper. Years ago Henry T, Sperry, then editor and manager of the Post, undertook the idea of issuing 9 Sunday edition of that paper. Eve " hAAAl45 WeSS PACP1iV0 AOL eAlO NSAAbhAO Oy when 1t was found at the last moment that perpetual contract with the Hartford Courant made in the news paper days of General Hawley, stood in the way. The Telegram will have clear sailing when 1t wants to launch Sunday edition.
 The annual reunions of Connecticut regiments have begun, and will be in- teresting functions through August and September. The anniversary of Antietam, September 1T, is recognized regularly by the Eighth, Eleventh, Fourteenth and Sixteenth regiments, the four Connecticut commands that were in that noted battle. With the exception of the Fourteenth these reg aments were in the Connecticut brig ade, which was commanded by Gene ral Edward Harland of Norwich, one of the few generals of the civil war now living. General Harland was member of the famous class of '53 at Yale and carried the spirit of that un- iversity into his career in the field. He Is remembered to this day with the utmost friendship and loyalty by the men who fought under him at Antie- tam. It will be forty-four years in September since that battle took place. The reunion of the Fifth regiment, which occurs on the anniversary of Cedar Mountains, August g, is one of the years events looked forward to with the deepest interest by the vete- rans. It was at Cedar Mountain that Major Edward F. Blake, of New Ha- ven, fell in hand to-hand conflict, giving up his life with splendid hero ism. He was graduate of Yale In the class of 1858 and man of knlghtly in- stincts and impulses. He has been dead forty-four years, having fallen in the terrific charge at Cedar Mountain, August g, 1882. Yale had many sons who fell on the field. but none manlier or more heroic than Major Blake Of New Haven.
 The First Connecticut cavalry, which fought under Custer, will have its reunion in Hartford August 15. The old Custer necktie of red will be worn by the survivors with as much pride as the wearers of the iron cross used to feel. The First cavalry has the handsomest national flag that is owned by any of the old civil war or ganizations in the state. This flag was presented to the regiment by General Brayton Ives of New York who was one of the commanders of this corps of cavalrymen. General Ives began his service with the Fifth Connecticut and distinguished himself in the field. The cavalry service had greater attractions for him than the infantry and he was transferred from the Fifth. He was made colonel of the cavalry remiment in January, 1865, succeeding Colonel Erastus Blakeslee, who entered the ministry of the Congregational church after the war Both were breveted brigadier generals in March, 1865, on account of gallantry in the service. General Ives was g. superb horseman and rode the most spirited of horses at the head of his command. He was an ideal soldier in the field and fully won the honors that came to him in the war. General Ives is also @ graduate of Yale in the class of 1881, being 8 classnate of Judge Simeon D. Baldwin of the Supreme court and of Professor Tracy Peck of the university. The custody of the national colors, which he gave to the First cavalry, Is regard ed as a high honor by members of the regiment For years it was carried by Charles H. Hawley of Westerly, R. l., who saved the colors in the battle at
