Gus fruits a.. Sfreshments.
Col. Cunningham, says Major c. F.
Burnam, has made a mistake in his
dates in his History of the First
Boonesborough Celebration" Col.
Cunningham was captain at that time,
and afterwards promoted to be colonel
of his regiment. He rode a very hand
some new saddle, for the first time, on
that day on his spirited Bertram racer,
a noted dasher. He was very erect in
his figure, and the girls described him
"as having sparkling black eyes," and
also "as a popular and graceful dane
err" He has beautiful embroidered,
white centered friendship album, gilt
made by his different charming girl
friends, which he highly prizes as a
souvenir Of his popularity with the
ladies.
COL Cunningham describes the fine,
costly dressing of the beautiful Ken
lucky bellies on that occasion. He tells
of the great cloud burst and food
which poured down in torrents, just
at the dinner hour, when the tables
were loaded and piled with fish, bread,
cakes pies, olu ham, mutton, crackers,
beef and many other delicious Ken
lucky viands. The soldiers gave up
their tents to the ladies, which soon
became flooded with water. The next
morning the soldiers spiked the bread
old ham and cakes on their bayonets,
and at shoulder arms" marched down
to the river to their boats, which car
ried them to Louisville, Lexington,
Frankfort and other places. The girls
slipped and fell and rolled over in the
mud in their fine brocade silk dresses,
but came up screaming and laghing,
with their new silk bonnets all com
pletely drenched and spattered with
mud.
One of the tender romances of the
occasion was brought about by one
of the Fayette beauties, Miss Audit
Rogers, taking such good care of her
bonnet that a handsome beau present
took notice (and said in his heart)
"she will make good wife," and he
sought an introduction to her on the
spot. She afterwards became his wife.
The flood lasted from Sunday until
Thursday, and the river rose out Of
It's banks. We stayed with a party of
girls and boys at Mt. Stephen Eu-
banks all that time. said Col. Cunning

Historic old Boonesborough was the
home of Hon. Abner Oldham, a splen-
did citizen, man Of scholarly attain
ments and of fine literary taste, a
very wealthy farmer and a prominent
member Of the Kentucky Legislature.
His youngest daughter, the brilliant.
beautiful and accomplished Mrs. Lou
Use Oldham, was said to be "a woman
of rare endowments, and a woman
of rare opportunities; one of the
most brilliant, beautiful and sparkling
conversationalists in the Frankfort,

ground, around dear old Sulphur Well,
where the handsome and brilliant
equestrian gathered in their plumage-

rosy fingers unlock the golden portals
OF the east, and throw her flood of liv-

often they came in brilliant array, with

glory of the everlasting hills and the
wild romantic enthusiasm which sits
with embroidered grandeur upon the
stately cliffs of old Kentucky.
