attendance BY the citizens Of Nevada

persons In all attending. The review

and on the other all tbs other companies
hut one, which was held In reserve.
There wsre advances and retreats. and
hot firing aud fianking. and finally
attempts to capture, and Captain Shss.
hans and Captain Browns men cap
tured . battery and part Of the cadets,
a. per programme; but In the conflict
the men got excited. came to close quar-
tiers aud chsered. They cut and thrust.
all in fun. but so vigorously that In.
jurles resulted. Captain Houghton was
thrown down. and In fighting broke his
sword over q muskst. Many men were
cut by bsyonets on the backs Of their
hands. One cadet and Captain Shsshsn
had powder blown into their isoss-not
seriously. but enough to satisfy-and
had 1t been in the eyes would have de-
stroyed the sight. Captain McEwan was
cut on the arm. Private Carroll was cut
on the neck and twenty or more men
were bruised or scratched. There was
great cheering and much sport. but the
spectators oil agree that 1t was very dan.
Rsrous play.
