boys. now in camp at the Centennial, are
decidedly the most popular military or
ganization that has been there since the
encampment was opened. They have a
social prestige more notable than that or
any of the other visiting soldiery, ana
they are enjoying themselves. Colonel
Price allows them certain amount OF
privilege but so far they have behaved
themselves splendidy, and have taken no
advantage of their position as VISITORS.
Their exhibition drill and dress parade
this afternoon on the military plaza was
witnessed by very large number OF
people. Many society leaders were among
them. and the " NJ. Is were accorded
an enthusiastic reception. The drill was
one Of the best that has been given since
these exhibitions have been in progress
on the grounds.
Tomorrow afternoon the institute foot
ball team will meet Vanderbilts eleven
on the college gridiron, and warm con-
test is predicted. In the evening AT the
New York building the young ladies OF
Nashville will give a reception TO the
visiting boys. and Ii Will be a very nota-
bic social event.
The battalion will be here until Friday,
and upon every days programme the
young soldiers appear. On Wednesday
they will escort Governor Atkinson TO
the grounds. and otherwise take part in
the exercises, as the day is V. NJ. l.

will participate in the sham battle-the
battle of burg-representing Pick
