The Game Bag In Africa.
The expedition landed on the coast
Of Africa at Mombasa and proceeded
inland to Nairobi, where 1t estab-
lished its base. On the trip up 1t Is
narrated that the colonel rode on the
pilot Of the engine. Riding on the
pilot is no uncommon occurrence in
Africa, though not practiced much In
America, for the reason that it causes
one to collide too violently with the
atmosphere. In the Roosevelt party

photographer, although in the end he
proved a better rifle shot than his
father; r. ]. Cuninghame, mighty
English hunter, who went along be-
cause of his knowledge of the game

Heller, representing the Smithsonian

tives. The party took several trips
out from Nairobi and shot enough
game to make the Smithsonian insti-

plank went into the platform 1t is the

thing.
DR.. G. A. Newman, adjutant general
of the G. A. R., has vivid recollection
of another phase Of the life of Platt
Newman was a dentist at Binghamp-
ton, n. Y. when Tom Plat was singing
his way into the good graces of the
people Of Tioga county.
1T was in the campaign of 1876"
said DR.. Newman. that I was leader
of a glee club at Binghampton and we
were singing at all the big republican
rallies In those days it was just the
thing to have glee club for campaign
purposes. The Oswego republicans came
over to Binghampton on one occasion
to help US and they brought their
Igiee club. There was great rivalry
between us. Tom Platt was leader of
the glee club from Oswego and l recall
TO this day the refrain of one song he
had arranged which made a great hit.
His glee club stood at one end of the
platform and ours at the other and we
enlivened the occasion with some
splendid music
Platt was at that time veteran glee
club leader A few years ago at a din
ner in his honor he sang songs from
an old book, and he kept copy of a
glee book which he had used in the
Fremont campaign of 1856.
