Fortunately, the greater part Of the exer-
cises we're scheduled to be held inside the

made It doubtful whether or not the great

OF the afternoon would be held.
The formal opening exercises were set for
II o'clock at the hrmory and long before
that hour the great srmory was filled. A.
Y. Ford, chairman OF the reception com

half Of the state OF Kentucky and at the
conclusion of his address assumed the gavel

HAMPTON, was a bold and ubiquitous rider,
and like them also had many mounts DUR
ing the civil war. No finer horseman ever
drew rein than this ~favorite son Of Virginia,
In war days he was slender and supple and
withal muscular. All the Lees rode like
c%entaurs; it was their birthright. His
choice of mounts was a beautiful dapple-

his favorite ballad. Nellie Gray was killed

Winchester, when Sheridan drove Early up

much for style in his mounts but he would
demand that the horses in his menage

to go. A fool horse" one that could not
be taught to stand fire, he would not own

hands. The horse that stood him best and
which he rode on the march to the sea and at
the grand review in Washington, was Old
Cumph. He was a large sized bay or

A woman explorer, Miss Hall, has recently

struck northwest to Lake Nyassa and waited
six weeks for a boat to carry her across Lake
Tanganyika. Then she travelled to Lake
Victoria Syanza, and only twice did she
meet white men. Two German soldiers and
a number OF servants accompanied her.
When at last Miss Hall reached Uganda she
saw n sight which must have brought cheer
10 her heart. an indication that civilization
had indeed penetrated the dark country. for
the King Of Uganda and his men were play

interesting account OF her travels and of her
interview with this enlightened monarch.
She cannot speak too highly Of the courtesy
and kindness which she everywhere met,
