Correspondence Of tho Richmond uispasch.l

| principal topic Of conversation during the
| past week has been the doings OF those
who went over TO Washington for the IN
aucuration. There were many parties
| formed 10 20, some OF which went and
Others did not on account of the weather.
Naturally the object of interest Tor the
BaltimoTeans over there w%as-neSt TO Dir.
Cleveland-the Fifth Regiment. The boys
knew this and were on their mettle; and
If they did not capture the leurel-wreatn
from the Seventh New York, their great
and only rival, they pulled many hand
fuls of hair in their attempt. Inc tifth
Regiment is one of the great socisi Insti-
tutions OF Baltimore. as IL Is n OF tne
| crack regiments IN this country. Outside
of its merits as q drilled organization Its
officers and men are largely drawn from
the Baltimore Club AID the ranks OF Balti-
more society. They are well-known IN
many OF the larger cities In the country,
which they have visited from time to time,
especially IN New York, Washington, Rich
mond, and Raleigh. for in each OF these
cities they have been entertained IN recent
years.
Ii is delightful to drop in at the armory
some evening and listen TO the anecdotes,
| "reminiscences. and gossip, OF which the
tobacco pcrfumed dir IS full. That - what
| did the otner night. A few OF the boys
were sitting around n cheerful ire discuss
ing the Washington trip. comparing 1t
| with the other trips which the regiment
has taken IN times gone By. New YORK
was brought up and that march down
Broadway. when the bows were almost
s~mothered with the varied collection OF
lunch which their over-enthuslastlc ad-
mlrcrs saw 1T to throw at them. Every
thing went from q banana to a quart bot
lie of champagne. Raleigh was then men-
toned. and the good old times in the CITY
of Oaks. where a free bar was established
! and not a Maryland man was allowed to
pay q cent.
RICHMOND PLACE.
Then il was some one spoke up and
SAID Don't YOU remember Richmond
md that morning We marched down
Franklin street to the uDvelling OF the
| Lee Monument? All, that was a DAY.
Can't YOU hear now the cheers and ap-
| planse as we came down the street with
the old Fifth swing and the bnnd play-
ing Maryland. Ny MARYLAND? Can't
| you see at thls moment the sidewalks.
the porches, and windows, crowded as
| they were that morning. with the prettlest
| GIRLS in Virginia and Nirginia's capital ?
| Bows, can we ever forget the true Virgin
| ian hospitality during the many halts on
that march? Enough couldn't be done
| for us: we were treated like princes. New
| York and Raleigh was not IN It 1
| tell YOU, fellows. RIchmond's the place
| Tho bows have forgotten the sud-
den shower the evening hey were
marching to quarters, after having LAID q
wreath at the foot Of the monument, and
| how they bad 10 wear their wet clothes
| until they reached home the next morn
ing. In youth 1t is always the p~ieasantest
memories that have the strongest hold,
| and the hardships and lnconvenlences OF
that trip are no more thought of. but the
reception they received on that march
| down Franklin street. and during the
whole of their stay in Richmond, they can
never forget.
M~ARYLAND's HEROES.
Much interest is now excited in the
exhibition of revolutionary relics swords,
