On her lofty mizzen flew Our Leader's dauntless Blue, That had waved o'er twenty fights — So we went, with the first of the tide, Slowly, mid the roar Of the rebel guns ashore And the thunder of each full broadside. "Then in that deadly track, A little the ships held back. Closing xip in their stations — There are minutes that fix the fate Of battles and of nations, (Christening the generations) When valor were all too late, If a moment's doubt be harbored — From the main-top, bold and brief, Came the word of our grand old Chief — 'Go on!'— 'twas all he said — Our helm was put to starboard, And the Hartford passed ahead."

In fact, the top is polished as smooth as glass by such constant handling. Among those so using it were the unmatched Farragut, his able assistants, and many others who have long since received their final * muster out.' "The Headboard was removed from the Hartford in 1865 when she was remodeled. "In the same connection I would say that I have the of- ficial headquarters mail bag, pertaining to the West Gulf blockading squadron, and which (with one other) went back and forth from the flagship to headquarters of the naw at Washington.

It was detached during recent repairs and reconstructions, and the Commo- dore, into whose possession it came, has had it thoroughly cleaned, painted, and, in part, gilded. The outside dimensions of the box containing it are : length, six feet, nine and three-fourths inches ; width, three feet, four inches ; depth, three feet, five inches. The weight of the figure-head, or "billet-head," is three hundred and sixty-nine pounds ; of the box, three hundred and fifty-nine pounds ; total, seven hundred and twenty-eight pounds. Upon the City's acceptance of the gift, addressed to Commodore Hichborn, it will become and remain subject to the City's order, to be addressed to the Commandant of the Navy Yard, Washington, D. C. The charges for transport- ation will fall upon the City. Very respectfullj^ yours, J. R. HAWLEY. COPY OF LF,TTER SENT TO PHILIP HICIIHOKN, CHIEF CONSTRUCTOR, U. S. NAVY. August 16, 1897. Co.MMODORE Philip Hichborn : I am advised by Senator J. R.

At the first meeting of the City Government, official action will be taken and acceptance forwarded to you. Respectfully, M. B. PRESTON, Mayor. Hartford, Conn., ^ug. 23, 1897. To the Honorable Court of Common Council : Gentlemen : — I present herewith a letter addressed to me as the Mayor of the City, by Hon. Joseph R. Hawley, U. S. Senator. I am since in receipt of a letter from Wm. P. Allen, Head of Department of Construction and Repairs, Navy Yard, Washington, D. C, saying that by di- rection of Commodore Philip Hichborn, Chief of Bureau of Construction and Repairs, U. S. Navy, the figure-head of the Hartford \s in transit to this city. I believe there is much interest felt by all our citizens for this historic relic of the famous warship that so honorably bore our city's name in the memorable naval engagements where she took part in the War for the Union, and that they, with veterans of the naval service, some of whom served with Farragut when this vessel was that distinguished officer's flagship, would be glad to take part in a suitable demonstration and exercises at the reception of and placing this gift. I recommend, therefore, the appointing of a committee to consider this matter, and to present to your honorable body at a subsequent meeting such recom- mendation as they may de\"ise for your approval.
