Colonel Wall remembers General
Buckner as a real leader of men,
soldier In eVery sense of the word. He
descended from a family of warriors
as his father was the famous General
Simon Bolivar Buckner of the Con
federacy. ESlsworth Elliott Jr.’s book
on “West Point in the Confederacy”
tells of the career of the elder Buck
ner, who died Jan. I, 1914. The book
recUea ‘‘at the beginning of the Civil
War. he determined to observe the
neutrality o< tha State of Kentucky
and declined offers to high command
la elthar army. In 1811 when the
Federal nathorlties violated the neu
trality at hia aUte, be accepted the
appointment of Brigadier General la

stned to the Mid-Tennessee district

Battle of Psrryville in October, ’82.
Transferred directly afterwards to
Mobile, which be found in weak con

part In the Battle of Chlckaoiauga.
Prevented by Illness from aceompany-
Ing Longstreet to Knoxville he served
under Hardee In the Atlantic cam

was transferred to the command of
Louisiana with the rank of Lieuten
ant-deneral. In which capacity he
served during the remainder of the
war. After the war he was forbidden
to return to Kentucky and lived for
some time in North Carolina. In 1887'
he was governor of Kentucky. In 1885
he served as a pallbearer at Grant’s
funeral, having visited that General
in the last months of his illnees. He
was simple, brace, courtly and mod
est. He was the last Lieutenant-
General of the Confederacy to sur
vive.
His son carried on the fine tradit
ions of his father and achieved world
fame for his fine generalship in the
Arctic, which preceded his brilliant
handling of the famous Tenth army
in the (•pic struggle for Okinawa Is

The announcement from Harry D.
Kirkover several weeks ago that the
winter sport program, featuring the
horse shows, hunter trials, drag hunts
etc., would be resumed next season,
with the possibility of a Carolina cup
race next March, provided no end of
comment throughout equestrian cir

the story with string headlines.
Harrison’s aanouncement that he
hoped to see polo resumed will be
