the west end Of Parker street 1t WAS one
Of the finest military exhibitions ever
witnessed in Girardville or any other town
Of the county and will long be pleasantly
remembered
The cadets who ranged from twelve to
seventeen years of age, drilled like vet
Grams under command of Colonel Ward
Thry seemed to be as perfect as such sn
organization can be, but the college officials
subsequently stated that they we're not At
their best. The silent drill, and the drills
by word of command, by taps of druma
md by music of the band we're heartily ap-
plauded.
After the drill and review the cadets
marched back to the Girard office grounds
and again stacked their guns. They then
marched to the Armory and had supper, al
the conclusion of which they gave three
hearty cheers and a tiger for the citizens of
Girardville, three more for the ladies who
looked after their interests in the Armory,
and three for Company F. The college
yell followed and wss received as it was
earlier in the day.
