command, and after the line had been
formed, Colonel Commanding George w.
Marshall took charge. This was the
second dress parade of the First Regi-

favorable impression. At several of the
movements some of the spectators were
disposed TO applaud but did not interrupt
the maneuvres. As the band marched
down the line in front Of the troops
Drum Major Higgins made a supreme
salute to Colonel Marshall. The drum
major was rather snowy in his manipulA-

baud was excellent. Colonel Marshall

than on any previous occasion, and ex
clamations Of Good good" came from
