AT THE ARMORY.

The City Battalion Give one of she
 Finest Hress Parades Ever Given by
 the Battalion Last Evening.
 Long before 8 o'clock last evening people
 began to crowd into the Union armory for the purpose of witnessing the full-dress pa rade and other military exercises by the City battalion of the Second regiment. Before the parade concert was given by the full Second regiment band, and by 8 o'clock, tue time the concert began, nearly one thousand people were in the armory. The galleries were crowded and the four rows of seats on the north side of the armory and then many were obliged to stand up. General Graham and his staff, with Colonel Leavenworth and staff, Mayor Holcomb, President T. R. Trow- bridge, jr., of the Board of Alderemn and President Kleiner of the Councilmen, occu- pied seats reserved for them on the floor of the armory and near the center. Chief A. c. Hendrick, George N. Moses, Professor Benjamin Jepson, Colonel Watson of the Fourth regiment, Chaplain of the regiment Dr. J. O.. Peck, 0. H. R. Mott of the Governors staff, R. P. Cowles, W. P. Ensign were also among those present. After the band concert the companies formed for review and were re- viewed by the Mayor, who was escorted by Colonel Leavenworth. Each company was then given fifteen minutes for a company drill, and the Sarsfelds first marched on to the surface and went through the manual of arms in most excellent manner, and they well earned the loud applause bestowed upon their movements by those present. The Grays followed with regular company drill, which was also well done and received loud and long applause for that company. The Light Guard in their Zouave uniforms fol- lowed with bayonet drill, the movements of which, although very difficult, were very skillfully executed.
 As the Blues marched on to the surface next they were warmly applauded, and as they executed the platoon drill it showed plainly that it lay between them and the Sarsfields as to which was the best drilled company. A skirmish drill by the City Guard followed, which showed that the members of the latter company did not under stand the orders as they were given out or had practiced the drill but very little. The drill is a most difficult one, however, and not a particularly good one to show off the military training of men. which the marksmen were awarded the med als won by them at the recent company shoots, and after the parade was over Colonel Graham said that the drilling of the compa- nies was the best he had ever seen in the armory. The parade was given to raise funds with which to pay off the old carnival debt, and it is the opinion of the officers that sui hcient money has been raised to cancel it..
