THE CADETS DRILL.
a brilliant Military Display at the
Barracks.

Two thousand people witnessed the eN-
hibiticn drill of the Savannah Cadets at
the 0glethorpe barracks last night. The
balconies surrounding the drill ground
were crowded, and hundreds stood up
outside the ropes. 1t was a brilliant
sight, and an exhibition Of proficiency in
military training that is seldom seen, and
probably never has been seen before IN
Savannah.
Long before the hour for the beginning
of the drill the crowds began to assemble.
! by O'Clock there were over a thousand
people inside the barracks inclosure, and
at 80 the limit Of accommodation had
been reached. The members OF the vari-
GUS commands in the city were present
in uniform and their glittering equip
ments, with the gay dresses OF the ladies,
added 10 the attractiYeness Of the scene.
A few minutes before the drill began the
visiting cavalrYmen, headed by the
Guards band and escorted by the Georgia
Hussars, marched in and were assigned a
space reserved for them on the west side
OF the enclosure. The band then returned
to its station in the balcony. The roll of
drums minute later announced the en-
trance of the Cadets, and the
white helmeted soldiery filed from
their drill room into the
centre Of the ground. They were greeted
with enthusiastic applause. AS Capt.
Branch stepped out from the crowd the
cheering began again, and continued for
some time. At the command fall in'
the company formed in double columns,
and for an hour performed the eYolutions
OF infantry drill with a precision that
had not been looked for even by those who
had watched their practice. The COM
pany appeared in its new equipments,
helmets and knapsacks, and made a
splendid appearance. Every Cadet had his
face shaved and hair cut close to make
the general appearance of the company
as uniform as possible. The marching
was excellent and the various evolutions
were applauded by the crowd. The
manual OF arms drill excelled any that
has ever been seen in Savannah. Every
order was executed at the word and with
a remarkable precision. The movements
OF the entire company were as Of one
man. During the intervals of
rest the Guards band played
programme Of popular music.
The interest in the drill was greater
than in preceding drills, from the fact
that it was the last public appearance of
the Cadets before their departure for
Mobile to participate in the international
contest.

DispOsing of the United States and SUI
periOr Court DOckets.
The attention OF Judge Speer was en-
gagged in the United States District Court
yesterday in the trial of the suit for dam
ages brought by Romeo Bosch y Alcina,
owner of the Spanish bark Aurora,
against the steamtug Republic. The tes-
timony introduced by the plaintiff was in
tended to show that the bark, laden with
lumber, was towed by the tug down the
Savannah river, but that the steamer
dropped the tow inside the sea-buOy at
Tybee bar before the bark could raise her
sails or was in a position to get under a
good Roadway, and that the lumber
laden vessel accordingly drifted to a dan
gerous position in shore, where she
thumped on the sand. The bark, how
ever, got to sea and a few days afterward
sprung a leak. A portion OF the cargo
was thrown overheard, after which the
vessel made port.
The case was tried without the inter
vention OF jury, and upon the cOnclu-
sion OF the argument the court reserved
its decision for future delivery, and adj
journed until this morning at 10 O'Clock
