Tho score 13l-142 was made out of a posi-
BILE 16O. the Guards winning by II points.
The score published in detail is that made
out by Capt. Field. Lieutenant Anderson
also kept score, which was very nearly the
same as Capt. Fields, the totals being,
Guards 145, Infantry 131. The judges agreed
to give Capt. Fields as the official score.
Both companies made a fine exhibition.
Capt. Norton was more deliberate than Capt.
Hartnett The drill by the Infantry was
praiseworthy, and many of the movements
were made with an accuracy and
precision that ELECTED loud and
general applause. Both companies found
some of the movements difficult and
errors were made by officers as well as by
the men. When the Infantry left the floor
after an hours hard drill they were ap-
plauded in manner that evinced the pleas
ure of the spectators. The band played a
selection before the Guards marched upon
the floor. The first movements by Capt.
Hartnetts company were not made with the
precision by which the same movements
were executed by the Infantry, and for a
time 1t looked as though they would score
lar less number of points than the Infantry
But in the second and third series of move
ments they did better. scoring more than the
Infantry. The applause that greeted them
was enthusiastic, but at the request of the
judges the spectators applauded less fire.
quently during the latter part of the drill.
when the company left the nall the specta-
tors made the welkin ring with cheers and
shouts, and when the judges announced the
result OF the drill there was tremendous an
plause and cheering by tine friends of the
victorious company. The victory was cele-
brated by the Guards at their armory where
large crowd gathered Immediately after
the drill.
Although some thought the decision of the
judges was faulty it seems to be a fair and
one.

The protestant. orphan Asy,um.

The Fresh Air Society has done a good
work in the past, and every year its friends
appreciate more fully the marvellous results
In health and happiness, which it has been
able TO achieve for many sick and forlorn
child. But this society cannot reach all who
need just such outings. Some years since
the children of the Orphan Asylum enjoyed
delightful trip. but last year they were de-
prived of their vacation, and have felt the
loss during the long winter. An excellent
offer of summer home in the country has
been made to them for this season, but
necessarily there will be some extra outlay
In rent and transportation, which the man
ayers of the asylum hope the friends of
these homeless ones will help them to bear.
Contributions may be sent to Mrs. James

IT IS }, :! NOT
WONDERED At.

How the business did roll In
last week. You could not have
seen a sight Of clothing buyers
anywhere else, like that was
here. What made it, We can't
find another reason equal to the
plain, quiet statement, the peo-
pie were well assured that the
Standard Clothing Co.'s make OF
clothing was without equal, and
the demand for it went right
along without a halt. 1t is not
to be wondered at when they
found the most magnificent stock
Of Spring Clothing to be found
any where ready for them, and
never was clothing made 50 good
as this present seasons goods,
nor more b0untiful provision
for all who came. The day has
gone by fer buttons to be pulled
Off or for seams to rip and break
The Standard OF workmanship
Is SO high that we guarantee
against the ripping Of sewing or
pulling off Of buttons.
We tell you exactly what you
are buying, whether wool goods
or cotton and wool. Most Of our
our new goods this season have a
clear statement of just what the
goods are on ticket and sewed
on every garment.
The following is what makes
our great business.
Absolutely five times the stock
to select from that can be seen
In any place in this city.
2-The absolute confidence buyers
have In what we have to sell.
s-The very low prices.
4-The reliability Of our work

5-The generous, liberal treat
ment they are sure to receive.
