Throughout the terrible weeks fol-

Lincoln Visits Virginia Camps.
On Aug. 81 Lincoln and three mem
bers Of his cabinet, Seward. Chase
and Cameron, accompanied by Gen
eral Mcclellan. visited all the camps
on the Virginia side OF the Potomac
At this time the relations between the
cordial. and in his own Story" Nc
Clellan wrote, referring to a later
period. MY relations with Mr.. Lincoln
were generally very pleasant, and
seldom had trouble with him when we
could meet face to face" So far as
/ can discover. this is about the only
good word General Mcclellan ever had
to say of any of his superiors. Scott,
Stanton and Halleck he scored IN
mercifully. But. outside of Scott, all
this came later. possibly for the reason
that Stanton had not yet become sec
rotary Of war and Halleck had not yet
been placed in chief command of the
army.
Second to Mcclellan. perhaps the
most popular major general appointed
by Lincoln up to this time was John
c. Fremont, the Pathfinder across
the Rockies and the first Republican
candidate for president. Yet com
plants against Fremont had begun al
most as soon as he took command at
St Louis. One OF the most serious
charges against him was that he had
refused to reinforce Lyon and had
therefore been the indirect cause OF
the death of that brave and capable
general Other criticisms were that
he overreached his authority. that he
was personally inaccessible, that he
was impractical and showed a lack
of military experience and capacity.
On Aug. 30 Fremont'S acts raised
much more serious question. That

Missouri's War Governor.

Pr1OT TO TINS Hamilton X Gamble.
the new governor of Missouri. had is
sued a proclamation calling for 1900
men Governor Gamble had been
elected by the convention TO serve tenn
porarily until the election in Novem-
Der. At that election. by the way, he
was chosen for the full term and re-
manned governor till his death in 1864.
Governor Gamble was born in Virginia
in IT9S. was admitted to the bar at
the age of eighteen and had lived in
Missouri since he was twenty, or more
than forty years. He became one Of
the foremost lawyers in the west and
served as chief justice Of the Missouri
supreme court. There were few more
difficult positions to hold than that of
governor of a border state during the
war, but by his practical wisdom and
ability Governor Gamble won golden
opinions during his incumbency both
from the authorities at Washington
and the people Of his own state.
The week ending Aug. &c saw few
actions or other events worthy Of
special note. On the 22d General
Daniel E. Sickles was authorized TO

There are indications that a game

date has been fixed for the first en-
counter, but will most likely be held
the latter part Of July or in the early
part of August. Representatives
from both forces are in comrunica-
ton to arrange dates, place, etc.
July 20 has been named as a prob
able date.
1t appears that both sides have
taken the question seriously this

1000 people, most Of them Harvard
students and graduates, best girls,
wives and grandchildren and with
only here and there a rift OF blue
among the crimson, the Harvard ball
nine beat Yale the second game of the
championship series. The score, 4 to l,
was the result Of q very tame contest,
but one In which Harvard showed
much the better team.
The victory gave Harvard the first
championship that 1t has taken from
Yale In straight games since 1908, the
year hal the Cambridge nine was led
on to the field of Hattle by Walter
ClarksCn.
There was not much hitting and the
game was far less exciting than the
frolic down on the Yale field last Tues
day. The Harvard men made only six
hits, while the best Yale could do was
four singles, not one Of which figured
in bringing the Els only run across
the plate. Mclaughlin was well sup
ported and was very effective when
Yale men were on the bases.

HEAR REPORT
High School Athlstics Were
Successful Financially.

For the first time since May Z,
1909, a report of the Perth Amboy
Athletic Association was made yes
terday morning by Treasurer VIII
liam Ramsay. The reason for not
reporting on the matter before was
pat in the simple excuse, Because
no one asked me for it before" The
present financial condition of the.
sporting association of the school is
very good in comparison to what 1t
was when the last report was made
by former treasurer Sheppard.
The association has at present
~S132.23; boys basketball netted a
gain of s64.59; girls basketball net
ed $3.50; track team lost $500,
and baseball lost s6.94, although Mr..
Ramasy stated that baseball really
did not lose since the school had one
dozen balls, four bats, two gloves
and one mask, which is about $500
worth more than the baseball season
started with. When Mr.. Ramsay In
1909 took over the treasurership he
was given $1.16 as its capital.
