The SHANGHAI DRILL.-We were consid-
erably fustrated--ss Mrs. Darlington would
say-yes terday, at seeing the whole Volun-
teer battalion of Norfolk in full run down
the street. We had just returned from the
neighborhood of the Virginia camp and our
miad was filed with "wars and rumors OF
wars" and knowing that the volunteers had
been ordered out for inspection, duty, and
had gone out 10 the vicinity of Pudding
Greek, we Immediately concluded that they
had been attacked by the Frogtowners,
Pudding Creekers, Alyntowners, or some
other belligerent forces who had mistaken
them for enemies. Like Richard, "our soul
was in arms" and we rushed frantically up
the street, determined as Mrs. Darlington
said, "to see see foul play land give the boys
chance to extinguish themselves" AS we
reached the vicinity of our office, the Blues,
Juniors and Greys, wheeled rapidly and
beautifully into Talbot street, and to our
anxious inquiry, a friend informed us that
they had been practising the Shanghai
drill" We also learn from the same friend
that they had acquitted themselves most
handsomely in this new movement under the
command of Brigade Inspector, G G. Gar
rison, who had command of the battalion at
| the time. .F
The Blues were in command of first Lieut..
Nimmo, the Juniors were under their new
Captain. A. F. Santos, and the Greys were
commanded by their new Captain J. d.
