NEW ORLEANS, May 14.-There was
fair attendance to-day at the exposition.
The weather was unpleasantly hot. The
third day of the exposition Interstate
competitive drill opened with the artil-
lery inspection. The Galveston Battery
drilled first the Washington Artillery
second, the Louisiana Field Battery third,
and the indianapolis Artillery last. The
Galvestons tailed to finish the programme
in time.
FINE WORK.
The Washington Artillery, with the eX-
ception of few individual errors, made
perfect drill. The Louisiana Field Bat
terry did equally well, and the Indian
apolis Artillery made a good showing,
but not equal to that OF the former two
batteries. This ended the artillery con-
test.

THE MOBILE RIFLES.
The Mobile Rifles appeared a few min
utes after Company f had retired and
were greeted with loud cheers. In firing
several individual errors occurred. A
man slipped and fell in the double time
movement, but took his position immedi-
ately. The marching was good. In the
manual by numbers considerable nerv-
BUSINESS was visible in the movements.
The company went against the fence
three times, caused apparently by the
hardness OF their commander in giving
orders. Notwithstanding these draw
backs they put up a very good drill, which
lasted 53 minutes.
THE BALANCE OF THE PROGRAMME.
This ended the infantry contest and
closed the drill with the exception Of tbe
individual contest. Tomorrow there viii
be a sham battle, in which nearly all the
companies will take part. On Saturday
the individual contest will take place and
the decisions of the judges will be an
