ley Unable to be Present.
The full dress battalion drill, review,
dress parade, etc., by Companies B, G, D,

crowd of people, who filled to overlooking
the galleries.
Governor Buckley and his staff were

The parade was thought by all present
to have been one of the best that has
taken place at the armory for some time.
Colonel Doherty said that it was one of
the best parades and drills ever held
there.
Lieutenant Bowen Of the United States
recruiting station at this city said that it
was little ragged on account of the mar
rowness of the armory, in which only four
companies can drill with convenience.
Major Burpee said the formation was
little ragged.
1t. Col. Lee said the exhibition was very
fine and far ahead of what might have
been expected. In spite of the new tao
tics it was the finest drill that had been
held in the armory in long time.
Captain Bryan E. Lynn said that on &C
count of the extended order the drill lost
good deal of its former beauty. The ar
mory is too small for the extended order,
giving the companies punched appear
ance.
