Spencer Cosby, who leads his fellow-gradu-
ates. was named a cadet at large by President
Cleveland. MIR. Cosby is a cadet captain. He
is a tall. slender, good-looking young man of
twenty-four. He will probably enter the engi-
neer corps. Cadet Cosby is the son of Pay
Director Frank c. Cosby. now residing in
Washington city, and on waiting orders. His
son has also lived in Washington the greater
part of his life, but previous to entering West
Point he spent year in Kentucky to acquire
residence there. He was first appointed by
kentucky member, but protest, based on the
gound that he belonged in Washington, was
made by the friends of Mr.. Sewell, who gradu-
ates second. and the appointment was with
drawn. He returned to Washington and was
appointed by the President. The two have in
consequence of this been rivals and the fact
that they stand at the head of their class is at
trlbuted largely to the rivalry existing between
them ever since they entered the academy. Pay
Director Cosby is a kentuckian. and was APP
pointed paymaster in August, 1861. and pay
director i'll 1869. Father and son are both well
known in Washington.
