THE BATTLE OF CRECY, AUGUST 2S.
1t was on August 26. 1876. that Ed
ward III, with about $1,000 men, gained
his great victory over the. French at
Crecy The French army numbered
100000, and was commanded by the
French officer, Comte d'Alencon. The
flower Of French chivalry, and the King
of Bohemia, fighting for France, were
slain in the battle. Here 1t was that
the Black Prince gained his spurs, and
that he adopted the triple feather crest
of the fallen Bohemian king, with the
motto Itch Dien," still worn by the
British Prince Of Wales. This battle
was one of the earliest in which can
non were used by the English.
Late in the year 1889 a formal declara-
ton OF hostilities was made and the
long wharf.-the Hundred Years War, as
it has been called-of English kings for
the sovereignty of France began. The
struggle really extended over a period Of
116 years.
No war had broken out in Europe
since the fall of the Roman empire
which was so memorable. whether we
consider its duration, its object or its
magnitude and variety of events. There
is indeed ample room for national ex-
ultation on the part of the British AT
the names Of Crecy. Poitiers and Aim
court. go great was the disparity OF
numbers upon those famous days that
the French have wrongfully attributed
their defeat to mistaken tactics and too
impetuous valor.

and the qualities that secured them,
must chiefly be ascribed to the freedom
Of our constitution and to the superior
condition of the people. Not the no.
bility of England, not the feudal ten
ants, won the battles of Crecy and Poi
tiers, for these were fully matched in
the ranks of France, but the yeomanry,
who drew the bow with strong and
steady arms, accustomed to use 1t in
their native fields, and rendered fearless
by personal competence and civil free
dom. Yet the glorious termination to
which Edward was enabled, at least for
time, to bring the contest, was rather
the work Of fortune than of valor and
prudence.
1.-The victory of Crecy gave him moth
ing but Calais. But at Poitiers he OBJ
tanned the greatest Of prizes, by taking
prisoner the king of France. Not only
the love of freedom tempted that prince
to ransom himself by the utmost sac
rifices, but his captivity left France de-
fenseless and seemed to annihiliate the
monarchy itself"
Edward III had only occupied Crecy
on the day previous to the battle. On
August 26 Philip advanced from Able
Vile to give him battle. In the short
time he was there Edward had chosen
and strengthened his position with great
skill. His army occupied some high
ground on the right bank of the Maye;
the right wing was covered by the river,
where 1t was defended by a series of
curtains, and the left extended toward
Wadicourt, and here, where 1t might
have been opened to a flank attack, it
was barricaded by piles of wagons. the
English front commanded slight ra-
vine; the baggage and horses, for all
nfo ~ ha
on the left in a wood and were impaired
with thickets and felled trees. His po-
sition thus resembled an entrenched
camp.
In case Of retreat Edward commanded
the ancient causeway. by which he could
have crossed the Authie at Ponche.
Early In the morning he and his son re-
ceived the sacrament Following this
he rode through the lines encouraging
the men, and at 10 a m. all sat down In
their ranks to eat and drink After
this Edward betook himself to mix
nearby to watch the battle. II began
after the heavy shower, which came on
at D. m, had cleared away, and last
ed until nightfall. 1t was decided by
bad generaiship and want of discipline
on the French side, and on the English
side by the skill Of the bowmen and the
steady valor of the two front ranks. By
nightfall the French were in full re-
treat. Edward remained on the field
the next day, and on the 18th began his
march toward Calais.

the queen of France, still calm and dignifIed
before all insults, weeping silently she knelt
in prayer at the foot of her bed, she realized
then that death near, and took refuge in
the merciful love OF her God. Yet she was
more truly royal within those gloomy walls
than in her palace of Versailles.
At her trial she said 81 was queen, and

The third game of the series be-

Sund ay on the local grounds and
the game was a ball game from

The game Sunday was by long
odds the fastest seen on the local
grounds for years and the atteEd-

The game developed into pitch

The support ACT corded both pitchers
was of the best and several except
lonally brilliant plays were made on
both sides.

secured by Ely il, the fourth lining,

considerable misgiving the people

until nine O'Clock, too late to make
the street parade. The lot upon
which the tents were pitched was
rather abbreviated and thecompany
was forced to forego erecting sew
eral of their tents. The show car
ried nearly 400 people, 200 fine
horses, thirty cars and a good men-
agerie.
The feature acts of the show are
as good as any and two or three
were better than the ordinary feat

shows. The Lamy Bros. four in
