government, but a few are owned
by individuals or army posts.
One of them, now kept at the
statehouse at Annapolis, Md, was
carried by the Maryland troops
during the war of the American
Involution, and is made in accordance
with the act of Congress, June
14, 1777. It is positively known to
have been the regimental flag of the
Third Maryland regiment, commanded
by Col John Eager Howard, at
the battle of Cowpens, in January,
1778, in which fight it was held by
William Bachelor. Bachelor was
sent home to Baltimore wounded
kio floor with him.
auu ivui\ mo i?wD
After Bachelar's death in March, I
1781, the flag remained in his fam-|
ily, and when the British invaded j
Maryland in 1814 this same flag
was carried by William, Bachelor's
son, in the battle of North Point, as
a banner for the twenty-seventh
Maryland Regiment. This William
Bachelor died in 1885. The flag, in
1907, wa$ presented to the State of
Maryland and has since then reposed
in its capital building at Annapolis.
Another famous banner is the battle
flag of Commandant Oliver Hazard
Perry, the same which flew successively
on the mast of his flagships,
the Niagara and the Lawrence,
in the battle of Lake Erie, September,
1813. This flag had been made
at Perry's express command, but at
the suggestion of Purser Hambleton,
he added the words it bore, "Don't
gi\e up the ship," the last uttered
by Captain Lawrence, killed in the
fight in June, 1813, between English
and American forces. These words
have erroneously been attributed to
Perry, but are. in fact, an adoption
of Lawrence's sentence to Perry's
flag:. The banner is a bunting of
one solid color bearing its famous
motto in large letters across its face,
and is now kept at the United States
Naval academy at Annapolis.
In the same chamber at the academy
is a georgeous royal British
standard which was captured from
the parliament house when the capital
of Canada fell, in 1813, into
American hands. It is a magnificent
ensign with five quarterings, all in

being such as was used in the time
of Gtorge III. In one corner is a
red lion poised in air, to denote
Scotland; in another is the golden
harp of Ireland; two other quarters
contain three rampant lions for England,
while in the central quartering
is a combination of the arms of Saxony,
Hanover, Brunswick and Lune*

In the National museum in Washington
is the real Star Spangled
Banner, the same flag which floated
over Fort McHenry in September,
1814, when it was attacked by the
British, and the one around which
Key wrote his immortal poem. Being
36 by 26 feet, it will hang from
the secondlstory of a building to the
first floor. In spite of time it is
well preserved, and the stars and
stripes which 'gleamed through the
perilous fight" are still plainly to
, to be seen.
Mexican trophies are to be seen at
the Naval academy. These flag9 are
all unique in design, bearing: the
Mexican condor standing: on a cactus,
with a snake in its mouth.
There are several of this war, one
of them being the flag captured by
Gten Winfield Scott and Commodore
Matthew Perry at the fall of Vera
Cruz in 1847.
In the antechamber to the rooms
of the secretary of war, in Washington,
is the famous flag which
flew over Fort Sumter in April,
1861, when it was fired on by the
Confederate batteries. This was
the shot which opened the great war
between the States.
The flag of the Maine, the ship
whose sinking precipitated the
Spadish-American war in 1898, is

kept at Annapolis. Near by the
banners captured by Dewey at
Manila from the Spanish, as well as
trophies of the battle of Santiago.
The banner which floated over tne i
North pole, raised there April 6,
1909, by Commander Robert E
Peary, now lies for safekeeping in
the vaults of safe deposit company
in Washington. It was made by
Mrs Peary, the stars being worked
in silk embroidery.
A division of the museum's flag
collection relates to the Civil war,
* a* u
and tne most mieresung 01 inese is
the garrison flag of Fort Moultrie,
in Charleston harbor. This flag waa
lowered December 26, 1860, when
Maj Robert Anderson, First United
States artillery, moved his forces to
Fort Sumter. The flag was secured
by his second in command, Capt Abner
Doubleday, and remained in his
possession until presented to the
Smithsonian institution at Washi
ington.
In
the National museum also is
the United States flag raised in New
Orleans by the volunteer flag committee
after the occupation in 1862.
This was the first Federal flag raised
by citizens of any of the Confederate
States after the commencement
of hostilities. Here, two, is
the flag of the United States ship
Kearsarge, in use at the time of the
sinking of the Confederate cruiser
Alabama, also the first United States
flag raised in Richmond after the
surrender. This was used as headquarters
flag by Gen E 0 C Ord,
USA, when he took possession of
the city.

from the custom house at the plaza,
