Four companies Of the High School
Cadets will accompany the Confederate
veterans to Richmond today and take part
| In the reunion at that place from June 80
to July 2.
The cadets, on account OF all that has
| been said, both In favor OF and against
their taking part In the reunion, will be the
most conspicuous OF all the organiza-
tons which will attend. Ever since IL was
first suggested that the High School
Cadets should go to Kichmond on this oc-
cason there have been numerous protests
made, which, In a measure, accounts for
the limited number or boys who viii leave
for the former Confederate capital today.
The boys naturally were anxious to go,
and the greatest difficulty which they
had TO overcome was the procuring OF arms.
as they would not be allowed TO take
their accoutrements out or the District.
This, however, was more easily overcome
than at first was thought possible, FOR
rifles and accoutremeuts In plenty have
been loaned by the National Rifles and the
CADETS OF st. Joins Academy, Alexandria.
or the four companies which will go to
Richmond today No. 2 will be equipped with
the arms loaned by the Rifles aud the other
two with the rifles from ST. Johns Acad-
emy.

undecided, not about going, exactly, but
about going under command. They want
To 20 TO have good time, but don't care
to be subject to military restrictions. So
tuat it will be seen that either as cadets
or as individuals, quite a large number OF
the High School boys will attend the re-
union.
Yesterday afternoon the boys gathered up
the arms loaned them and got them selyes
in shape by a practice drill on the White
Lot. They drilled for nearly two hours.

maneuycrs in fine style.
The manual OF arms was also splendidiy
executed and all the evolutions. both in
fours and by companies were performed
with great precision.
The High School boys will, without
doubt, make a fine showing in the great
gathering OF old soldiers and will DO them
selves and the District sOldiery greIt credit.
It is the intention OF the cadets to remain
In Richmond until the evening OF July
