BUSY WEEK FOR THE ExAMINERs-THE LATE
sHAM-FIGHr STILL MATTER OF DISPUTE.
WEST POINT, n. Y, June 0. 1875.
1t Is more than probable that the coming week
will be buster one for the examiners and the
cadets who have rot yet been examined than was
last week. The system at present IN vogue OF
having all the classes examined by a full board
Will necessarily make the labor OF the Official
visitors somewhat harder Than it used to
be wncn the undergraduates were taken
care or simply by committees; but the progress
already made with even the second class proves
that with little extra exertion the entire corps
can be examined IN three weeks at the very ut
most. THIS year, although thus far there has
been little Of the old time interest manifested In
THE DoINGs OF TIKI EXAMINERS
aud :he manguvrlngs OF the gray coats,n 1t is
expected that the closing up OF the military season
VIII be sucn grand one that It Will furnish ample
compensation Tor the general dulness or the first
part, the feature that Is expected TO draw crowds
OF visitors being the reunion OF the oil reoel grad
yates who during the late war fought against
their ola classmates who were on the Union side.
IL Is understood that nearly all OF the men who
figured prominently IN
THE CONFEDERATE SERVICE
will come to the friendly gathering; and II this
should turn out to be a fact there certainly win be
hNclJ hlhts iOt bic oulStNs Ol post.
In the absence OF any other exciting theme Just
at present tue vassar college girls stampede re-
mains fresh ana enticing. In conversation with
a cadet to-day who says that he too was con the
spotn, wen as the youngster who pitches fnto
Benny lIaven's boy so severely, he remarked than
the stamped was "a splendid sight" said he,
'Tnere il OF the girls trying 10 prove that
they didn't run. for he facts are against them.
Incy may not nave been afraid, but II they were
not they acted very much ike It II, during TIE
charge, the cadets did
DO LITTLE HOwLING
some OF the girls in running made quite as much
noise. IL was the DUTY, anyhow, OF the charging
column 20 howl II the boys thought they could
strike terror into the ioe."
Another cadet member or the graduating
class, contends, on the other nand. to use hts
language, that "tne girls stood their ground ike
little men, II donitSuppose,n said he. ''tnat 10
was necessary Tor them 10 snow that they were
not AFRAID 10 stand in the way or
UNNECESSARY DANGER.
They were all go0d.lOOklng girls, and who ever
knew goOd-loOklng girl VINO was cowardf I'D
IKE 70 see an 0nlcial investigation into this thing
aud guarantee n the investigators all Vassar
girls taat very cadet summoned 10 appear before

among the graduates concerning the conduct OF
the Vassar girls during the snam hgnt and IL Is
