FAUQUrER WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, July
2O-As the sun sank down the west yesterday
evening the moving clouds Of dust along the roads
leading to the Springs Park indicated that the at
tendance at the military ceremony Of dress pa
rade" by the Light Infantry would embrace all
who were within visiting distance of this popular
resort As the last faint beams Of the god CT day
were gliding the treetops the sivery notes of the
bugle rang out and the Corps formed for the
parade" The front OF the hotel and the terrace
leading to the meadow below were packed with the
guests who did not hesitate TO express in the warm
est terms their appreciation Of the magnificent drill
and soldIcrly bearingof the "boys." At the dress
parade Lieutenant Burton Ross acted as adjutont,
and II would be supernuous to say that every
feature Of the ceremony was rs perfect as II was
possible TO be- After nightfal the camp presented
most picturesque view, the ruddy glare of the
fires and the fainter but clearer beams Of the
candles brought out into full relief the white can
vas walls, the fhadowy moving forms and the
background Of the rolling hills and woodlands.
To coincide with the wishes Of many OF the younger
members Of the Corps, tattoo" and TAPS" were
placed for eleven p M. but even with this latitude
the hOarse challenge of the sentlncls rs they
broughtup many weary jewellers with round turn
indicated the irrcprcssible desire Of the soldier
boys to linger within hearing ofthe
STRAINS OF wEBER's ORCHESTRA
and the many lovely faces that throngcd the ve-
randa. At last, however, the silence was ul.
broken, and the winking stars, as they climbed up
the heights around us, looked down upon the tired
nlAitdrios who rent the silent night with martial
snorcs from noses that curled with indignation al
the smell Of sulphur water before breakfast. Thl:
morning there was n lovely crowd Of early riser
