THE CHICAGO ZOTTAVES

inns eACeiieuI COlupdny, since tnelr unparalleled
exhibition drill in the Park Saturday last have
been enjoying the hospitalties of our military aud
citizens, and deservedy so for the very clever man
ner IN which they acquitted themselves on that
occasion.
The simple announcement, in the morning papers
OF yesterday, that the Zouaves would give another
drill yesterday afternoon at Madison square, was
sufficient to call together large assemblage. Long
before the hour designated for the drill to COM
mence the spectators began to arrive the ground
anxious and impatient to the excellent dsc-
pine of the Western soldiers. There is not more
disadvantageous plot of ground for military dis
play or drill than Madison square, and why it was
selected for this occasion is question we cannot
answer.
The hour announced for their drill to take place
was two clock p NJ, and at that hour there could
not have been less than fifteen hundred persons pres
ent. 1t was quarter before four o'clock before
the Louaves made their appearance at the entrance
OF the square. They marched into the square in
two ranks, and were loudly cheered by the specta-
tors, who by this time numbered at least six thou
sand persons. At this time the sky was becoming
overcast, and everything portended an early show
er. The ZOuaveS marched to a central point in
the square, where they formed circle, the officers
IN the centre, and were drilled in the manual of
arms, shoulder arms, secure arms, fixing and unix-
ing bayonets, charge bayOnets, and the loadings
and firings. After a short rest thev were drilled
In the school of the company, and marched in col
umn by platoons and company, in double rank and
at quick and double quick time. In the skirmish
drill, which torme the last part Of the drill they
deployed by flank extended intervals, closed inter-
walls, rallied by fours on the centre and mannuvred
in the bayonet exercise. The topography of Mad-
son square. and the many Instructions caused by
the trees and benches, prevented full display of
the discipline of the Zouaves and the consequence
was that they did not acquit themselves with that
precision and correctness they exhibited in the drill
on Saturday last. We reiterate our opinion, ex-
pressed IN former paragraph, that we have sew
eral companies in the First division that can excel
the ZOuaVeS in the lOadinps and Hrip0S Wbila ba
Louaves were marching at company front, at
double quick time, one of the members fell down,
and another one ran against tree, and a third
fell over bench, but none of them were seriously
injured After the Zouaves had been on the ground
about one hour heavy shower of rain came down
accompanied by heavy wind. The crowd there
upon broke the police line and ran heller skelter
over the ground to the great impediment of the
ZouaVes in executing their maneuvres. TIE rain
poured down in torrents, the military stacked
arms, unrolled their red blankets and put them
over their shoulders to keep them from feeling the
effects of the storm. The crowd soon after dis
persed, and the troops marched back to The Sixth
regiment armory.
Company c, Thirteenth regiment National
Grays), Capt j. S. Morgan, are to receive and en-
tertan the Zouaves in Brooklyn to-day. The Grays
meet them at their quarters, Centre Market, New
York, at nine A. NJ, and escort them over visit
the Navy Yard, &C., pay their respects to the Hon.
S. S. Powell, Mayor of Brooklyn, and the Common
Council after which they will proceed to Washing
ton Park to give the Zouaves an opportunity to go
through with their excellent drill
