On Tuesday night, says the New Orleans
Tune Democrat, the levee presented most
animated appearance, the Louisiana and
| Crescent Rifles being both out at drill.
The Crescents showed themselves still to
| be in good form and did their wheelings
Handsomely. In the manual there were a
few slight errors, probably due to fatigue as
| much anything else. Few who have
never gone into training for competitive
drill can appreciate the amount of physical
| exercise involved, and going through the
| school of the company for two or three hours
| is most laborious.
The Louisiana Rifles were little nervous
last evening, and in the manual were some
| what irregular. Their marching was neatly
executed, however, which made handsome
display, their wheeling being without flaw.
| To spectator the conviction was forced
| upon the mind that men in drill, as in every
other exercise, may be overturned, and that
after certain limit the attention becomes
lax from sheer oyertax alton. Both COM
mands evidence homogeneity that is a
strong point. The men work well together
az a whole, and each company has an indi-
viduality and moves a until
The Crescent Il fies left for Indianapolis
on Thursday, and the Crescents will leave on
Sunday It. morrow morning. As the day
for the contest at indianapolis approaches the
excitement is on the increase, and even the
Iduleo nave Decome experts, anu Dy no means
bad judges. Their bright eyes are quick to
detect faults, althougRat the same time they
create emulation.
Every evening finds Company B, of The
louisiana Field ARTILLERY, on the levee, per-
fecting themselves in the manipulation of
their guns. The comany has improved
greatly in their movements since their last
exhibition at the fair grounds, and officers
and men are confident of winning first prize
The company will number sixteen men, be.
sides Lieutenant FL. B. Thompson, who will
be in command.
Battery G drills both morning and evening
from 5 to 2 o'clock morning, in the cotton
yard of the Jackson depot, at the foot of
Calliope street, and also for several hours in
the evening in their armory, where they are
now quartered. Captain Fortier expresses
himself as having the fullest confidence in
the ability of his men carrying off the first
prize. Twelve men, counting substitutes,
will be in attendance.
Both companies will depart for Indianap-
oils on the morning of the 9th instant, and
will, no doubt, distinguish themselves there
as they have done elsewhere.
