A VIRGINIAN CoMPLIMENTED- The
Columbus, Ohio, State Journal publish
es a very interesting account of the an
nuai exhibition of the Gymnasium
Club of the kenyon Military Acad
emy," under the guidance and direc
ton of Capt. Thomas Blackford, com
mandant of that celebrated military
school, and says: For several months
the club has been practicing and when,
on the run, he led them across the great
gymnasium, a handsome body of young
athletes, clad in various colored tights,
they were greeted with spontaneous
burst of applause by an immense audi
ence, and after a bow of acknowledg
ment the performers ran to their posi-
lions and in a twinkling arranged them
selves SO as to form the letters, K M A.
Then the serious work began, continu-
ing for two hours. In all Captain
Blackford distinguished himself. A
graduate of the Virginia Military In
stitute, he went to that school, seeking
health and left it a prize athlete. He
came to Kenyon Military Academy
with the reputation of being the best
athlete in Virginia. and it would be
hard among amateurs to find his SUI
perior. Captain Blackford has not only
won an enviable reputation as pro
fessor, commandment and disciplinarian,
but he has demonstrated the great
value in the development of delicate
boys, and of scientific gymnasium
work"
