NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 23-Mud and
rain to-day gave place to sunshine and
oaImy breezes. Not long after dawn the
city resOunded with the reyeille. and the
streets were soon after filled with soldiery
and civilians. The picturesque uniforms
oil the Zouaves and the other companies
made the scene one which many thought
would not do discredit to the liveliest
of the old worlds capitals. Long before
the hour for the grand parade arrived the
line OF march had been lined with fully
nifty thousand spectators. many of whom
nad come long distances and stood MANY
weary hours patient sentineIs over
Iahcled vantage spots for viewing the
expected pageant. The endless Iabyr;ntb
OF Dewildering bunting borrowed in
creased brilliancy from the bright
sunlight, which played on its heteroge-
heOus, but happily blended hues, From
every gally trimmed balcony and window
along the route the fairest faces known To
tne upper ten thousand gazed with con-
temptuous pity on the less fortunate snec-
tatOrs whose private box was no better
than the plebian curbstOne, Now and

were, nevertheless, the cynOsure of all

During the whole line of march no COM
pany received more Dlaudits than the
Cadets, whose handsome bearing seemed
to find equel appreciation among the fair
faces, who waved their appreciation from
the balconies and windows, and the more
demonstratlve spectators who lined the
less aristOcratlc vantage points afforded
by the sidewalks.
After c0nsummatlng the tour of the
principal streets, as mapped in the pro-
gramme, the encampment was finally
reached at l o'clock.
At the camp the troops We're reviewed
and the Lawrence Light Infantry and the
Mobile Rifles drilled, and the Busch
ZOuayes gave an exhibition fancy drill,
which was much admired BY the
ten thousand people who witnessed the
eVOlutlOns at the camp.
The following companies will drill to-
morrow: Treadways, of st. Louis; Hous-
ton (TeXas) Light Guards; Crescent
Rifles, of New Orleans; Savannah Cadets:
and Governors Guard, of Illinois.
Sergeant Dasher is very much improved
to-day, and Notwithstanding that two of
the other members of the company are
feeling somewhat indisposed, it is conf

able to drill when their time comes to-
morrow afternoon. Unless the sick men,
bers of the company are well by Friday
morning the Cadets will leave for home at
that time. 1t is the general hope of the
citizens, however, that the company will
be able to drill,as they have made a large
number of friends who think they are
sure of one of the larger prizes.
Three detachments OfLOuisiana artillery
and the Detroit City Guards arrived to-
day. Tonight a grand display of fire
works was the attraction, and the streets
were thronged with people until long
