Colonel Shafter dressed himself in his
Angel Island clothes yesterday morning
Major Bald win also blossomed out in the
fatigue uniform of his regiment to fittingly
receive Colonel II. =. Bush and his,minia-
ture army from the Boys High School.
A fne-looking body OF young warriors
they were. those trim lads forming the
Cadet Company of the First Infantry, Ma
tional Guard of California, as they
marched in two sections around the court
of honor. preceded by the Midwinter Ex-
position band and Captain G. II. Cassasa.
They moved with the precision of veteran
soldiers. and having encompassed the
grounds they proceeded to recreation plat
TO go through their evolutiOns under the
inspecting optics of Colonel Shafter.
Commanded by Captain j. N Ebert
Lieutenant F. Handley and Lieutenant
George Ebright, they went through a
series of evolutions with the ''snap" of
old-timers. Colonel Shafter longed TO en-
list some of the weil-trained youths in his
regiment. and Major Baldwin compared
the cadets with his guards and sighed. As
for Colonel Bush. who has instructed the
company in military tactics for years, he
simply looked proudly at his pupils and
accepted the congratulations and praise of
the reviewing officer.
The company marched in review before
Colonel Shafter. and then followed setting
up exercises, company drlll, platoon drill
and extended order drill. Everything was
done by the card, but it was in the battle
exercises that the cadets really appeared 10
their best advantage. They showed re-
marka ble discipline under the disorganiZ-
ing influences Of fire and smoke, especially
when they scattered all over the recreation
ground in squads. The exercises com
prsed formation for attack, skirmishes
advance by Iushes. advance of the reserve,
rapid fire, and concluded with a wild
charge, which so frightened the man en-
gaged in sprinkling the cinder track that
lie fled from the place and allowed his hose
| to he captured by the enemy.

grand stand. which vigorously applauded
the excellent appearance of tho scholastic
troops. 1t was Boys High choOl day. -
and the military exercises were the central
feature of the holiday. Boys. accompa-
MED by their Young lady friends, all wear
ing The coiors OF red and white ribbon
| promenaded about the grounds and waved
encouragement to their uniformed COM
rades. They all had happy IL somewhat
uneventful day.
In the course OF the afternoon the cadets.
accompanied by several hundred of their
] civilian classmates, marched over to the
! Administration building and listened 10
| S0nsa>s concert. They cheered the band
| aud In acknowledgment John Philip
| SOusa's magic wand directed the bars of
Tine High School Cadets March," This
brought more cheering from the boys.
Half an hour later they we've back again
and gave the band an ovation. Then they
waited expectantly and Sousa good
naturedly played their favorite march
| again.
