Declared Not Guilty of Charges Pre-

Capt. Beam, of the st. Paul company.
one OF the contesting interstate com
panles, Friday filed a protest with
the board of inspectors against Cant
Schilling, of the Morton Cadets, of
Washington, d. c., claiming that he
had taken undue advantage of the 9TH
er companies in witnessing the class A
companies drill through an opera
glass while they were in progress on
the field.
. A board was called 20 examine into
the charges and it ye> .erday afternoon
declared that Capt. Schilling was not
guilty of the charge. The glass which
is was alleged the captain used was
brought out and as it was broken, one
glass being entirely out, the board was
of the unanimous opinion that he could
not see even as we'll as BIZ the naked
eye and therefore had no advantage
over any of the other competing com
panies.

cort their dead comrade home.
The remains were laid in state in

number of persons yesterday after

offerings were contributed, all of which
were laid on the funeral casket. His

Col. Whitside's Regulars Captivate
the Grand Stand.
The third exhibition of the regular
U. S. troops was given on the grounds
yesterday afternoon through the cour-
tesy of Col. Whitside, the commander
and was heartily appreciated by all
present, it being the most magnificent
spectacle witnessed during the drill.
The men were all attired in blue
blOuses and forage caps with white
trousers and white gloves and their
movements all in unison without COM
mand were simply superb and could not
be equalled by any other drill ever put
up.
The colonel had the whole command
out and the large number lent great
ly to the pleasing effect it had on the
eye. This is a drill which the regu-
lars can put up at any time and at
any place in competition with any of
the crack companies fancy drills and
always rest assured that their share
of the applause will be the largest in
proportion.
These drills are put up usually every
Friday at the post and it is safe to say
that now the people have witnessed
them they will call often up there
where no admission is charged.

CORONATION SERVICES.
Tenure of Land on Condition of Personal
Duty to the Sovereign.

Tenure of Land on Condition of Personal
Duty to the Sovereign.
Florence Hayward describes Queen
Viotoria's coronation roll in The Gen.
tury. The writer says:
After telling how the privy council
was formed into a commission "to hear
the petitions of the lords, great men,
mobiles, knights and other with regard
to services, duties, attendances, offices,
fees and rights connected with the cere-
mony of coronation" the roll states
what these petitions were, or at least
such of them as were granted.
One was that the Duke of Norfolk,
who claimed "the right to find for the
queen on her day of coronation a glove
for her majesty s right hand and to sup
port the queens right arm on the same
day as long as her majesty shall hold
in her hand the royal scepter, the petit
toner holding the manor of Worksop
by the aforesaid services" In other
words, il the Duke of Norfolk had
failed 70 provide the glove or to support
her majesty's arm at that particular
time his ownership of Worksop manor
would have been invalidated and the
property have reverted to the crown.
Another petition was that of Barbara,
Baroness Grew de Ruthyn, who, as the
head of her family, claimed the right to
carry the great spurs before her majesty
on the day of her coronation and asked
that George, Lord Byron, be appointed
her deputy for the performance of that
duty.
Yet another was that of Francis,
twelfth carl of Huntingdon. The earl
dom of Huntingdon had remained sus-
pended for many years owing to the
tenth earl dying without issue. When
however, this twelfth in the line Of sue
cession succeeded in establishing, as a
descendant Of the second earl, his right
to the peerage, he also claimed the right
to carry one of the four swords of state
in the coronation procession, this, as
well as other duties and services con-
nccted with the ceremony, being the
condition of his tenure of lands. Small
wonder, then, that in announcing the
omission of the procession it was i'm
portant TO set forth also that the nom
performance of duties connected With it
should entail no forfeitures.
