The military will probably rally at
the Drill Shed next month for a gen
eral good time. 1t is the intention of
the promoters to have the entertain
ment more in the line of a camp fire.
Colonel Fisher doubted whether the
shed was large enough to accommo-
date the entire regiment. Last even
ing the 700 or 500 men were marched
into the shed and the Colonel after
making a careful survey of the hall,
stated that it might be done on a
pinch. The refreshment tables would
be placed in the different company
rooms.

The First Regiment assembled at the
Drill Shed last evening and marched
out to Makiki base ball park, lead by
the Government band playing patriot
ic American pieces, and the drum
corps. Col. Fisher put the regiment
through number of exhibition ma
neuvers, which were cleverly eXecut-
ed by the men, most of the volunteers
marching with as much skill as the
regulars. After drilling for nearly
two hours the regiment marched back
to town, arriving at the Drill Shed
shortly after 10 o'clock. There were
a good many spectators at Makilli
and Beretania was lined with people,
both going to and coming from the
park.

1t was great disappointment to
Colonel Fisher and his brother officers
that Senator Morgan failed to witness
the Regimental drill last evening at
Makiki. Shortly after Z o'clock an
officer was detailed to wait upon Mr.
Morgan at the Ballou home, and urge
upon him to attend, but the Senator
asked to be excused as he was not
feeling well.

and they have not noticed any change In
the prisoners condition since the little
bullet was extracted from his ear. They
are still OF the opinion that Mowry is
cunning and Sane enough To know what
he Is about There is general belief that
sooner or later he will Quit his present
mood and tell something that will rattle
him. Once trapped, it is thought that
ho will tell all he knows about the horror.

opportunity 10 observe the general sur
