REVIEW AT CLOSE OF THE CIVIL WAR.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: l take most emphatic exception to the de-
scrpton of "the grand review" at the close OF
our Civil War by foreign writer from whom you
lately quoted and who "damns II with faint praise"
For 1 myself also that grand review from
q stand which my father had erected on Pennsyl-
vania avenue, the White House. and Il was
unequalled and magnificent display and exhibit
ton of the most splendid marching by veteran SOL
diers in this country. probably any
where else in the world They were two days In
passing, and there were about one hundred thou
sand soldiers in the parade. About the only true
thing the foreign writer says is that the bands
poor. and how could they be otherwise after
the hardest kind of cruel for four years? The
grand magnificent and splendid marching of these
mostly four year veterans and their clockke. even
and equal STEP and their superb wheeling around
the corners of Pennsylvania avenue were com
mented upon and applauded by many thousands of
witnesses most enthusiastically. No sir. that for
egn writer most lamentably fails to give duo
praise OF the grandest and most magnificent
armies ever seen in the Christian era. And he
tells the truth when he writes that IL was a sight
he will never forget Nor win any one else who
saw it. (Rev) SIIsLIMAN BLAGDEN,
Boston, May q, 1907.
