TELLS VIVID TALE
OF CRATER BATTLE
Federalist Lectures Before
Confederate Veterans.

Col A. S. Perham, who served in the
Ninth Army Corps of the Union army
during the civil war, defended Gen.
Burnside and his troops for the failure
of the Petersburg mine explosion" in the
battle of the crater, before a large gath
erfhg of the members of Camp No. Ill,
Of the Confederate Veterans, last night
at the Confederate Home, 1872 Vermont
avenue northwest.
In addition to the members of the
camp, there were present many of the
Daughters and Sons of the Confederacy.
Col. Perham illustrated his lecture by
two large maps, one showing all the
Union and Confederate works-siKteen
miles from the Appomattox River, to
Hatchers Run-and the other represent
ing the immediate vicinity OF the mine.
The speaker handled his subject in a
clear and concise manner, giving graph
ic description of the explosion of the
mine, and the subsequent operations Of
the forces on both sides. He said that
the failure of the operations was not due
to either the officers or members of the
Ninth Army Corps, but to Gen. Meade,
who set aside all the plans of the off,
GERS Of the Ninth Army Corps, and sub
stituted his own plans, which, it is claim
ed, proved impossible of execution.
Following the address by Col. Perham
an informal reception was held and a
social hour enjoyed by those present.

CONTRASTS SEEN
AT HORSE SHOW
Huge Grooms and Small Chill
dren Divide the HonOrs.

New York. Nov. Alt was an occa.
sion of contrasts at the Horse Show to-
day.
At one time one end of the ring looked
like Rosa Bonheur's Horse Fair" the
exhibits being two Percherons, derived
from France, descendants of horses which
bore armored knights, when lances and
crossbows were the only weapons.
At the other side of the ring were
SheIlands.
Ponies in harness were driven by six
foot grooIns-the ponies being under
forty-two inches-and the drivers loom
heroic proportions like a bad dream.
Small children were refining ponies
Iarger than the towering grooms.
Little Miss G. Holm, however, was in
line with a Shetland only thirty inches
high-the little driver of the nttlest pony.
Hauthois, dapple gray, dating in lin
cage to the Crusaders, got the champion
ship. and Indun, also owned by NC
Laughlin Brothers, OF Columbus Ohio,
a black stallion, bred in Normandy, dat
ing in lineage beyond WiIIIam-the Con-
Queror, was awarded a reserve.
No day yet has seen many mishaps
among the male riders in the qualified
hunter classes. When it came to the
hunters to be ridden by ladies, there was
uOl Iloy
jumped in side saddle, many of them rid
ing the same horses men had ridden In
the earlier events.
From the social standpoint, to-night's
Horse Show attendance was the biggest
30 far of the season, and brought out a
wonderful array of gowns and an almost
Slinding display of jewels. There were
many new faces in the boxes and seats,
md some Of the prettiest women in the
mart set were in evidence.

WANT o'CoNNoR FOR SCOUT.

st. Louis. Nov. 1s-Jack OConnor may
scout for the st. Louis Cardinals next
year. One of Roger Bresnahan's close
friends met O'Connor and asked IL he
would entertain an offer to rustic through
the tall timber for the Cardinals. Jack
replied that nothing would suit him bet
ter than to work for Roger.
Mutual friends of Bresnahan and OCon-
nor are trying to frame up the deal.
Roger tried out twenty recruits from the
minor leagues this fall and failed to dis
cover anything promising in the grab
bag. He appreciates the fact that the
Cardinal club needs the services of a
good scout. o'Connor's friends think he
is qualified for the job.
