DRILL AND SOCIAL.
Friends of the First Light Infantry
Had a Good Time.
The Ceremonies Were Witnessed by a
Largs Number of Prisons.

The First Light Infantry Regiment last
evening invited its friends to a drill and
social at In ufantry he'll. ana the nun Der
that responded to the invitation was in
deed fiattering to the regiment. Uuless
one had teen informed that the affair was
not a ball, such as the regiment for so
many years conducted on Washington's
birthday, the size and quality of the
gathering would not have given him q
contrary idea. 1t was splendid testi-
mony to the energetic work of the COM
mittee OF which Colonel Rose was chair
man that everything went of with the
snap and precision that it did.
The review and psrade last evening
we're complimentary to Adjutant General
Ssckctt who is highly esteemed by the
mem bers of the regiment. The review was
preceded by a fine concert by Reeves
American band, which also furnished
music for the dancing. Adjutaut General
Ssckett had a mum ber of militsry guests
with MIN as he marched down the line.
The regiment appeared in full uniform
and tho movements OF the drill were exc
cuted in a manner that won the warm
praise of the many good judges present.
Colonel James +. Phetteplace was i'm
command and with him were the mem-
bers of his staff. The companies formed
for battalion parade and after the drill
was over and the invited guests had
passed their judgment on the movements
of the men, the floor was cleared for
dancing. There was no delay in begin
ming the latter and the 10 numbers on the
program were ell danced with commend
nble zsst. Captain Bsrrows was floor di-
rector and his aids were officers and pri-
Yates OF the regiments.
The mem bers of the committee OF ar
rangements in addition to Colonel Rose,
the chairman, were Captain A. +. Brown,
Captain G. Bannon, Lieutenant II. I.
Gusbee and Lieutenant +. ". Mattesop.
