REITERATES STATEMENT.
J.. P. Ford First Volunteer In Civil
War.

With regard to the claim Of DR.. Charles
F. Rand that he was the first soldier to
volunteer under the Presidents proclama-
ton Of April Is. 1851. Mr.. J. p. Ford Of
638 New York avenue. has again written
to The Star renewing his challenge OF
its correctness. Mr.. Ford says, in brief:
1.-The earliest call for troops made by
the President was for ten companies Of
the District Of Columbia militia, April 8.
1861.
April 13. Before April Is the District
had more than a thousand troops muster
ed into the service. April Is the Pres
ident called for 5000 militia Of the sew
eral states. You will note this call was
for militia, not for volunteers. The
morning Of April Is. about the time DR..
Rand was signing the enrolment papers.
the National Rifles were being mustered
into the service. making them the first to
volunteer under the 5000 call"
Mr.. Ford quotes from the report OF the
investigation Of the claim Of DR.. Rand
by the War Department, showing the en-
listment Of DR.. Rand April IL. 1881. and
added: Thousands Of other men In diff
ferent parts Of the country did the same
on April Is. 1851, Immediately after the
Presidents call for troops.
Hundreds Of men not only enlisted. but
were mustered into the service OF the
United States several days prior to April
L." Mr.. Ford continues, land thousands
Of others were enlisted and were mustered
into the service before May 1. the date
on which the official records show Rand
was enlisted, and not on April Is. as he
claims"
Mr.. Ford also quotes from the records
to show that DR.. Rand was not the re-
cipient Of the first congressional medal
of honor for service In the civil war. He
says the records of the War Department
Of honor were handed by Secretary
Stanton in person to six of the twenty
two men, including two civilians. who,
by the direction Of Gen. Mitchell or Gen.
trated nearly 200 miles into the enemy's
territory. In handing the medals to the
men, Stanton said:
'None of these medals have yet been
awarded to any soldier, and I now pre-
sent you with the first one that has been
issued" (passing 1t to Parrott.

BY their practice on California field
for two days the Vancouver Rugby
players have demonstrated they are a
swift aggregation. Their practice has
consisted of serum formations, running,
passing and dribbling. They have not
INDUCED in any actual playing. but to
the experienced Rugby man their &C
tlons in these phases of the game speak
louder than words. The team looks
considerably lighter than the blue and
gold men. but they are a fast lot, and
pack their serum splendidly.
The California players are noted for
their fine set of forwards, and the fight
between the "hookers" today for pos
session of the ball is bound to be bat
tie royal
In the loose play the yaneouvers
look as If they would prove dangerous.
Their scientific dribbling was feature
