aud street Practice.

In obedience to orders from head
quarters the volunteer companies Of
the First Regiment met at the Drill
Shed at 1880 last evening The
object OF the call not being stated in
the order, there was considerable
speculation in the ranks as to what
would be done. Before = o'clock
the men began to pour in, and at
the appointed hour for falling in"
the several commands were on hand
in full force. The absence of the
band and drum corps made it
evident that company drill was the
program.
The companies were first drawn
up on the Square in front OF the
armory where they were addressed
by Colonel Mclean. The colonel
complimented the men on their ex-
cellent showing. The big turnout
was encouraging. He had heard
rumors OF cut-throats coming to
Hawaii. Hoped they would come.
and knew the men around him
were just the metal TO do them up
in the proper manner, (Cheers). If
they did not do it, he hoped he'd be
the first man shot. The colonel
added that future drill nights would
be on Tuesdays and Fridays under
lights Oh the armory square. Then
turning the companies over to their
captains he instructed the latter to
carry out their orders.
Company A, Captain Smith,
formed tours and marched down
Hotel to Alakea street, up Alakea
to Emma, to School, to Liliha, to
King and back TO the Armory. A
had fifty-four men in line.
Company b, the largest in the
regiment, turned out sixty -four Of
ficers and men. This command,
under Captain White, marched to
Beretania, to Punahou, to King, to
Richard and back, passing ID at
Punahou corner.
Company c, Captain Camara,
turned out forty-hve men. Its
march lay ont King to I.iliha, to
School, to Emma, to Hotel and back
passing both A and II OH the route.
Company ID, the smallest in the
regiment, turned out a 70. file front,
double rank, with officers and file
closers. This company under Cap
tain Wilder marched out King to
Punahou, to Beretania, to Punch
bowl and back.
Company G., Captain kara, had
forty men under arms, though sew
ersl without equipments were
present. This command had orders
to march out the new Beach road
for drill, but as the road was in bad
condition they were revoked. G
marched and drilled on the streets
near the Government buildings.
Company II, Captain Murray,
had forty-two men under arms,
though fully sixty were present.
Quite a number Of men in these new
companies have not yet received
their equipments. II marched to
Alakea, to Beretania, to Fort, to
Kukui, TO Nuuanu, TO School, TO
Liliha, to King and back to the
Armory.
On these long marches the several
companies were put through various
flank movements and rot drill,
company square aud skirmish drill.
In each case beautiful work was
done, most OF the men getting at il
like old veterans. The companies
were drawn up on Armory square
at $50 and dismissed.
MOTIFS.
Captain White says he has tn,
"boss" company Of volunteers. b.

slow in the new tactics, but he'll
put his last plunker on their being
the best looking set in the regi
ment.
Company G, (the native com
pany), make splendid showing OF
the march. They are fine looking
body Of men and are very precise il
their movements. Nahora Hip;

feel that he will come up to tho
scratch after time.
The Chinaman at Punahou ant
Beretania wonders when Compan,
ID will have another march out hi
way. Last night he was severa
