Matters of Interest to the Pupils of
the Upper Grades.

1t looks now as II number of extra drills
will be necessary IL the High School cadet
regiment is to make a creditable showing in
the parade on the 22d of February. Today's
drill was to have been devoted exclusively
to regimental formations and marchings in
column of companies, but the weather being
SO unfavorable the companies utilized the
time in their respective a-mories with drills
in the manual of arms. The coming parade
is being looked forward to with great inter-
est. as 1t will the first public appearance
or the regiment. There Is still further in
terest manifested in view of the fact that
the field and staff officers are to be mount
ed, and II Is positively known that the
majority OF these officers have had little il
any, experience in horsemanship. The line
OF march has not been decided upon We,
but 1t will be published in the course of a
few days. 1t is thought and reported that
dress parade will be given after the line
OF inarch mas been covered. but such a ru-
NOR has not yet been confirmed.
