At 945 bugle corps announces the approach
of a squadron Of cavalry that comes sweeping
mp the avenue from the direction Of Fort
Myer.
Brave laddies are these, and they sit their
die and nodded there. These are the chaps
who fight Indians, and the small boys on the
sidewalk look at them with undisguised
awe. They take position on Maryland
avenue and dismount in the shade
with great clank Of saber and rattle
OF spurs.
Down the hill from the Capitol comes the
naval battery from the navy yard. There are
seventy five men from the crews of the Dolphin
and Notwithstanding tars in blue jack
cts and leggings. They haul four light piece
Of artillery-two three-inch breech-lOading
steel rifles and couple of long Calling guns.
They could sweep mob from Pennsylvan

THE THIRD BRIGADE.
There was nothing small about the third
brigade, which WAS composed Of the District
National Guard. Probably the local troops never
appeared to greater advantage than they did to-
day. Clothing fitted nicely, and Was, as usual,
scrupulously clean. The usual difficulty was
experienced in securing the presence OF any
thing like the full number Of enlisted men, SO
MANY employers refuse to give their men even
few hours leave Of absence.
Considerable attention was paid by the spec
tators to company c National Fencibles), Sec
ond battaiion-the champion infantry drill
company Of the United States; to company A,

veterans, who arc the only infantrymen in the
