Mary's school there was another

OUT AT THE GROUNDS.
On arrival at the Exposition
grounds the regiment, in column Of
divisions, stacked arms and it's $50
officers and men set to work to take
in the display. They saw the Ex-
position and were pleased
with it. They found something
else very pleasant too-the presence
and the acquaintanceship' of
more pretty girls than were ever seen
before at one time in that enclosure.
A Baltimorean judges all the female
sex by high standard, that of the
lovely women of his own city, and the
visitors yesterday paid the North Car
olina "belles demoisles" the truest
compliment when they pronounced
them the equal of ''thc girls they left
| behind them"
A BALLOON ASCENSION,
which was simply perfection, was one
of the events of the day which gave
the visitors great pleasure, as many,
perhaps most of them, had never be-
fore witnessed an ascension.
RETURN TO THE CITY.
Soon after 3 o'clock the regiment
and its escort left the grounds on
their return to the city. Maj. Win
der, general manager of the Sea-
board Airline, kindly furnished
two special trains which conveyed
the regiment to the Hargett street
station. The command thence
marched to the Governors mansion,
arriving tnerc aC 4:lo.

of whom large proportion were la

, tinguished men in the State, and
from every part of it, were
there to do honor to the
Fifth and to see it's fine
drill. 1t was 4:3O o'clock when
the parade was formed. The for
nation was fine and during the
/. sound-of the regiment was as
] steady as a rock. The adjutant
has noble voice and Col. Boykir
: showed how fit he was to com
e mand so grand a regiment. Th
e many veteran soldiers present ex
pressed their admiration Of the pre-
cision of the movements. Th
regiment precisely filled the from

is the regiment did not pass in re
