THE PARADE on THE 22D.
The parade on Washington's birthday was
a success. Perhaps one-third of the Second
Regiment did not turn out. The regiment
marched up Connecticut avenue to Dupont
Circle, then to New Hampshire avenue.
/ where a regimeutal parade was held, then to
! Washington Circle and down the Avenue to
/ the armory. On the way back this command
met the Washington Light Infantry parade.
/ 1t was noticeable fact that two companies
Of the National Guard, which were n part of
| that parade. failed to salute the colors. One
is a crack company, too. The High School
| Cadets paid no attention to the colors at all.
! At the armory Col. CLAW spoke few words
! of praise to the regiment, and asked for
! three cheers for the old armory and God
| speed to Gen 0rdway. Major Campbell
stepped out at this juncture and added
''Col. Clay, too"
! The cheers were given. The Sixth Bat
| talon turned out the greatest number in the
! parade Notwithstanding the fact that one OF
the other battalions bad intended TO parade
! on that day whether the regiment did or not.
| In the Fourth Battalion things have taken
! boom. Company (the Campbell Zouaves)
I are talking of going to Memphis to enter the
| drill there. They are busy recruiting and
will do good work if they go. Tuesday night
orders will be issued appointing F. 6. Hodg-
| son sergeant major. He is an old guards
man with ten years experience. 4 hospital
! steward will also be appointed soon. Last
/ Tuesday night the major had a meeting OF
commissioned and non-commis5ioned Off
GERS He talked TO them at length in kind
! and straightforward manner. He told them
what he expected from them in the coming
months and from their men. The talk will
| bear fruit.
