Write: THE PRUDENTIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF AMERICA. JOHN F. DRYDEN, Pres’t. Home Office, NEWARK, N. /. TQ A YALE SOLDIER. Good-by to General Burt, on Leaving His Brigade at Jacksonville. On October 20, at Jacksonville, an enthusiastic farewell was given to Gen. Andrew S.-Burt, who at that time left — his command of the First Brigade, Sec- ond Division, Seventh Army Corps, to go to Colorado to resume his regular station as Colonel of the Twenty-Fifth Regulars. Those taking particular part in the good-by demonstration were the officers and the men of the Second Illinois. The following resolutions were presented to Gen. Burt by Major Purinton, the presentation taking place in the lobby of the Windsor Hotel. “To Brig.-Gen. Andrew S.. Burt, United States Army, Camp Cuba Libre, Jacksonville, Fla., Oct. 20, 1898.—Gen- eral: On the occasion of your handing over the command of the First Brigade, Second Division, Seventh Army Corps, to your successor, the officers and sol- diers of the brigade cannot refrain from respectfully expressing to you their high sense of the uniform kindness and consideration with which you have ever treated them, and which you _ have known how to combine so happily with soldierly firmness and decision. “You have succeeded in creating a command second to none in drill, dis- cipline, and military deportment, and BRIGADIER GENERAL A. S. BURT. which furnishes an example to other brigades as regards the health, comfort, and contentment of the officers and men ~ commanding it. - “Tn sickness and in health, in rain or sunshine, whether on the drill ground or in the many perplexing details of camp life, we have felt your guiding hand, your prompt aid, and your wise and judicious counsel. “Circumstances have not permitted us the privilege of sharing with you the glories of the battlefield and show- ing before an enemy the results of your teaching, but be assured that if ever such an opportunity shall offer, the bri- gade which General Burt formed, or- ganized, taught, and so carefully tended, will so acquit itself as not to discredit its old commander. “In bidding you farewell, we respect- fully beg your acceptance of a sword, as a slight token of the affection and admiration. that we feel for you, both as an officer and a man. We shall fol- low your future career with the friend- liest interest, confident that should occa- sion -arise you will surpass your. al- ready distinguished record. Good-by, General. You will always occupy a warm place in the hearts of the First Brigade—especially the Second Illinois Regiment.” The resolutions were signed by a number of the officers of the regiment. General Burt’s response is thus re- ported by the Jacksonville Times-Union: “That common phrase, ‘The heart is too full for utterance,’ is indeed a true one now. This is a very sad occasion to me. I have formed in my associa- tion with you, many friends. On my part I have become as fond of you as of a brother. “I want you to remember always that whenever I gave you the command ‘rest’ you had earned it. In my thirty- six or thirty-seven years of military experience I have held a great many commands, and I know of none that will live longer in my memory than the Second Illinois. In separating, my heart is almost broken. I have been spoken of—and it is a modest boast— as being a man of nerve, and I_ have been in many tight places where I needed my nerve, but to-night J—I— 5 PE . For a moment the General’s voice fal- tered, and then he continued: “I don’t know as I will pursue that thought. My ‘darling wish was to go to Cuba with you, and I know that when the time should come and I would be in front of that brigade, and I should call to you Illinois men and you Tar Heels, ‘Come on, men,’ that you would have gone through it, though it had been very hell itself. Isn’t that right? “At times you may have thought that I worked you too hard. It was all for a purpose, to become, as you have, the most efficient brigade, and I say, God bless you and good luck to you all.” - @& ~~ Athletic Calendar.
