Gen. L. o, c. Ord, which meanwhile
had been ordered to march toward Texas
by the Bayou Teche route.
Parts Of two army corps, the Thirteenth
and Nineteenth. TO the number of nearly
\, 900 men, were thus started on the over
land march toward Eastern Texas, while
Gen. Banks, with 4 division of the Thir-
teenth Corps, prepared to start from New
Orleans by water to effect a landing on
the Texas coast near the Rio Grande
River.
The column marching overland had
reached Opelousas on October ., when II
was found that the overland route TO
Texas was not practicable. 1t was found
that the country between OpelouSas and
the Sabine River, the Texas boundary,
was without water and destitute of sup
plies, and that on a route 800 miles long
the army would be Obliged to depend on
wagon transportation alone for subsis-
tence.
These considerations prompted the re-
call of the overland column. which began
falling back from Opelousas toward Ber-
wick Bay and New Orleans. on October

The retrograde movement was noted at
once by the Confederates, whose cavalry
had closely observed the progress of the
Federal column, and as the rear guard
moved out of opelousas on November !,
Gen. Taylor's command moved in.
Gen. Thomas Green, with a division Of
cavalry and three regiments OF infantry,
about 1900 men in all. was ordered to
follow the Federals and harass them.
Green's men were chiefly Texans, but
they were thoroughly familiar with the
West Louisiana country. They proceeded
TO keep the Federal army in sight with
out exposing their own strength, waiting
the while to attack the rear guard If
II should be caught in a position where
support could not readily reach it.
Such position was taken up by the
rear guard on the night of November .
when II went into camp nine miles from
Opelousas, on the edge of an open prairie
with strip of woods and a small stream
known as Bayou Bourbeau in its rear
Its nearest support was nearly four
miles away, at Carrion Crow Bayou. The
between was open prairie

reading was "Guinevere" from Ten

for Mrs. Allen by Heniot Levy of Chi

The Norwich Free Academy defeated the baseball team representing the Wlndham High school in the most 1arclcaI game which has been staged on the Iecal grounds In a long day. Monday afternoon, by the score of 12 to 1. Each inning produced it's share of benehead work, the home team being by no means free from this offense. English allowed but six hts scattered over as many innings and though he found himself in sev- eral holes, always produced the goods at the critical moment Seven errors were made by the team, the only tal- " of the visitors resulting from a misplay by Murray. Poor baserunning kept the Academy score from much larger proportions.
 Inability to get at English at crit ical times caused the downfall of the visitors. Their only run was scored in the second inning by Moran, first man up, who hit a roller which Mur- ray mussed up. Singles by Rosebrooks and Crane scored Moran. The next three batters were retired.
 The N. F, A. boys got busy in the first inning when three hits with base on balls and an error netted the home team two runs. In the third inning four more were secured. Mur- ray grounded to Rosebrooks. who fumbled, stole second and took third on Sammie Groves single. Elliot hit to the infield. scoring Murray. Lord singled. Mulcahy struck out and Joe Hull scored Elliot and Lord with a hot liner to center that was good for two bases.
 The Academy added one more in the fifth when Joe Hull was hit by the pitcher, took third on Kelly's wild throw and scored on a passed ball by the catcher. The sixth was another big inning, five runs being scored. Captain Eddie Mckay led off with a two bagger. stole second and scored on Murray's long sacrifice fly to left field. Sammie Grove singled and scored on EIliOt's two bagger to right. Lord scored Elliot with a two base drive to left field. Muicahy grounded out and Joe Hull drew 8 pass. Both scored on a hard double by Jimmie English, Stanley grounded out. re- tiring the side.
 Pink Kelly was hit hard and of ten and was replaced in the seventh by Rosebroobs, who had a streak of luck and held the Academy scoreless iR the two final innings. In the seY- enth Captain Eddie Mckay strained his ankle sliding into third and left the game. The score:
