In this city we have two military
companies, only q few months old,
which, we are glad to say, take favor
able rank with the best In the State.
They are each handsomely uniformed
and although their first appearance
in public was on the 4th Of July, by
their close attention to their duties,
their soldierly bearing, discipline and
drill, won many favorable opinions
from old soldiers. After the exer-
ciscs here during the day they danced
until 2 o'clock in the morning, when,
in response to an invitation, they
started on q visit to Burlington, to
take part in the competitive drill
Their ride took all the balance of the
night, and when they arrived at Bur.
lington they were not only tired out,
but sleepy and dusty. After hasty
breakfast and short rest, looking
9 none the best, they were ordered out
into line.
4 At an early hour thousands of per.
a sons assembled on Sixth street, wherv
9 a grand stand was erected for the
a judges, and where the ribbons were
I, to be lost or won. The judges were
IL Major Courtney, U. S. A., Captain
IT Stewart, of Osceola, and Major VIII
'e kin, of Keosauqua. Four companies
entered the list for the prizes, viz: the
Otttumwa Guards, the Sheridan
Guards of Ottumwa, the Keokul
!, Veteran Guards and the Vintor
Guards.
9 The Ottumwa Guards opened tn
Z exercises and although the competi
. ton was with some of the best com
panies in the State, they acquitted
9, themselves with honor and cam
m home to-day with their flag stat
in ornamented with the blue ribbon, tn
ID third prize, of which they are a
ne proud as a boy with his first pair o
g. boots. ....
lie The Sheridan Guards acquitte'
II. themselves in very creditable man
re, ner, and although they failed to carr
re off any prize, they are highly spoke
of by the Burlington papers. Tn
tic Sheridan Guards returned last nigh
he and the Ottumwa Guards at noon t.
OF day, when they complimented tn

nd which they have our thanks. W
ad hope both companies will now
