The Gettysburg Re-union—Pittsburgh
era Over the Meld—Only one Coiled
crate In the Camp.
iSpeolat Dispatch to the Pittsburgh Gazette.]
GETTYSBURG, August 26, 1869.
At nine o'clock this morning a very
large number of the officers in attendance
set out to survey the more important
points of the battle field. Much , more
interest was manifested in this day's
proceedings than in any other, as several
knotty historical uncertainties, as to the
distribution of the Union and Confeder
ate forces in the vicinity of Round
Top, had to be determined. We noticed
among the stake-drivers:in the excursion
the following well known Allegheny
county citizens, who played no inferior
Tole in the second and third days' fight
ing on this most important of all the bat
tle fields of the war: Gen F. H. Collier,
Gen.j. B. Sweitzer, Gen. Roy Stone, Col.
Jno. A. Danks, Mai. Samuel Harper,
Maj. Samuel Kilgore, Maj. Albert Harp
er
. and Maj. Wm. Daigleish. Our
brave boys can rest assured that their
places from the beginning to the close
of tho battle were carefully marked, and
will-enter into the historY of the place.
Mcst of the Pittsburghers are getting
' ready to return home this eveninte. It
:may be 'remarked here as a matter of
some moment that the re-union has•not
been the failure many predicted it would
- be, but, to the contrary, a substantial
success. True, the greater figures in the
, struggle failed to put in an appearance,
but they are satisfied with }their own
'records, and perhaps felt ttat a survey
of the field would tat materially enhance
the value of their military reputations for
sagacity and prudence. The command
ing officers who are here have entered
with spirit into the business, and labored
zealously to discharge the duty which
brought them together in helping make
history complete.
1 But one of the Confederates, Adjutant
General Walter Harrison, Richmond,
Virginia, of Pickett's Division, put in an
appearance. His thorough knowledge of
: - the field and of the disposition of both
i the Union and Confederate forces
,made
his presence very desirable. He is the
author of a new book now in press wh ch
it is thought will throw much new ll ht
on the battle of Gettysburg.
To-morrow work will.e concluded,: d
whosoever hereafter visits the hist Ho
grounds :of - -Gettyaburg will have lit le
'trouble in forming a correct idea of how,
where and when the main fighting took
place. Stakes about one foot high, with
clear and , legible . records mark
the position of the various Divl
::.
lions, Corps, and Regiments, while
the very spots where the most memora
ble events took place are appropriately
designated. It is proposed to supplant
these temporary evidences wfth stone
:posts that will remain forever as guides
to patriotic pilgrims who journey hither
to pay tribute to the thousands who fell
in the great struggle of the war.
The reunion on the field of so many
-Federal officers -drew forth many un
written anecdotes and scraps of history

„ranks and assigning him. a paiiition

HARVARD VS. OXFORD.
DhTIOL
The International Boat Bate Today.
(By Telegraph to the Plitaborgh Bazette.)
IsTsw Yonx, August 26.—A. Tribune
correspondent says: I saw the Harvard
crew last night for the first time, after a
fortnight's absence, and was delighted to
observe a marked improvement in their
style and pace. Both crews made, to-day,
their last row over the whole course
which they will take before the race. A
difference of thitty seconds is reported
in favor of the Oxfords, but it is not trust-
worthy. the Oxfords having taken a back
start in order to get up a good headway.
Both crews exhibit great power.' The
style of the Oxfords is unquestionably
he better of the two. Their crew ie
heavier and their pace extraordinary.
The Harvard, however, is in superb con
dition and perfectly confident. The
rowing of the Americans is not far from
faultless, their bgat goes along well
and their prospects are decidedly prom.'
ising. It is not at all unlikely that the
race will be a very close one. The Har
vard men have determined to use the
new boat built for them by Elliott, which
carries them better and makes better
speed than any other they have ever
tried. No trouble of any kind is feared,
but every precaution has been taken
against foul play, and a strong guard is
kept constantly over the boats. The
Harvard crew have spent the last two
nights at the , Sturgiss House. They
wish we to contradict the English state
ment that they have adopted the English
_style; all the crew say they pull the
same stroke as last year, but for all that
they show an immense change for the
better. There seems to have been a little
trouble about the referee, and the Oxford
wanted a change, but the Harvard, I am
glad to say, very properly, sticks to
Tnomas Hughes. In consequence of
this, Mr. Chitty refuses to act as umpire,
he not being willing to serve under
Hughes, and the probability is that there
will be no umpire at all, but Hughes
will be selected as sole referee. This is
the best arrangement by all odds that
could be made. Everything has been
done to secure a clear course and a fair
race end I apprehend no interference by
outsiders, and no obstruction of the rives
by steamboats and barges, as tuts often
been the case heretofore. Neither crew
has done much work' to-day, andto.mor
row they will do none at all. The head
quarters of the Harvard men has been
crowded • with visitors, among whom,
yesterday, were Charles Reade, Minister
Motley, Benjamin Moran. Secretary of
the American Legation, T. H. Dudley,
United States Consul at Liverpool, and
others, all of whom will return for the
race.
Lotsnost, Aug. 26.—The Post, in com
ments on the coming boat race, expects
the Oxford crew to win, but considers
their failure to do so will be no disgrace.
The Harvards will have the fairest of fair
play, and where physique and endur
ance are so equally matched the best
' style must win. The excitement in re
gard to the race continues to grow and
the merits of the crews form the general
topic of conversation.
The• arrangements to preserve order
and keep the course .cleai are regarded
with great satisfaction. The general
feeling among sporting reporters is that
the race will be most spirited and well
contested. There is still a little betting
of odds at two to one on the Oxfords.
NEW Yowl', August 26.—At the sale of
pools to-night on the international boat
race the betting was about two to one on
the Oxford. Oue bet was made of one
thousand dollars to five hundred
on the Oxford.
Lois DON, August 26.—The Harvard
and Oxford crews have only practiced
starts to-day. The Elliot boat, In which
the liarvards have decided to row the
match to-morrow, is 44 feet long, 21
inches wide at the widest part, and 8
Inches deep: depth of hull, 11% inches,
depth forward 7 inches, and depth aft
6% inches. She was built on a draft and
model brought from New York, and is
of purely American construction, even
her frame work having been brought
over with the. crew. The oars to be used
were made by Agling.
Tim following are the weights Of both
crews as they stand to-day: Harvards—
Faye, (bow) 165 ibe, Lytnaff 165 lbs.
Simmons 171 lissr -Loring, (stroke) 154
lbs, Burnham, (cdhswain) 112 lbs. Cli
fordif—Darbsatiere.. (stroke) 169 lbs,
Trane 389% lbtrs Yarborough 169% lbs,
Willan (bow). 144 lbs. Hall (coxswain)
101 lbs. '
Galt sten Celtairr of the London Row
ing Clubs Will be the umpire of the Har
yards, and Chitty will probably act in
that capacity for the (bawds. Mr.. Bla
kie has been chosen starter and Sir A.
Paul will probably be agreed upon as
judge. The'Oxford men are Confident of
winning, but the Americana are hope
ful. Simmonds Is again slightly indis
posed today. •
Mr. Blakie has written a letter to the
Tones for publication on Saturday, nro
testing against.the comments of the Eng
lish press in regard WO. Harvard's'
style of rowing and against the assertions .
respecting an alteration in that style.
He declares that their style now differs
In no respect from that watch they al
ways practiced at home.
The Rat Mali Gazette of this afternoon
says if the Harvards are beaten it will be
by the best crew ever seen on the
Thames, one which would make abort
work of the fastest Henley crew. There
need be no fear but that the race will be
rowed entirely on its own merits.
