Mechanics Pavilion was ablaze with light and color last evening, the occa- sion being a magnificent reception ten dered Iowa's hardy representatives, the Fffty-first Regiment. by the Native Daughters of this city.
 When the Iowa boys marched before the tremendous gathering, with true military swing and soldierly bearing, headed by their splendid band, a shout of greeting arose from the throats of the 5000 present that nearly raised the roof
 The programme prepared by Colonel Loper was presented in it's entirety, and every number was loudly applaud ed. In quick order the various num- bers on the following programme were gone through and every movement was watched with deep interest:
 Band concert, Fifty-frst Infantry, Iowa Vol unteer band; entrance of Fifty-first Infantry, all companies, old officer of the day, Captain Butterheld: new officer of the day. Captain adjutant, Lieutenant Davidson; physical drill with arms, Company H. Captain Worthington; music, The Stars and Stripes Forever' (Sousa) F1ftyhrst Infantry, Iowa Volunteer band; battalion parade second battalion. Ma tain Gibson; extended order drill Company NJ. Captain Clark; review by Major General Mer- ritt, U. s. A.
 The extended order drill of Company M, under command of Captain Clark, won an ovation. Such precision and unanimity has seldom been seen in this city. Without a word of com mand but simply by a movement of sword, the little officer made his well drilled company go through a number of difficult evolutions. Their firing without signal was like ClOckwork and received many favorable comments.
 The companies disengaged were marched into the machinery hall and were refreshed with coffee, fruit and dainties by the ladies whose guests they were.
 Owing to a press of business Major General Merritt could not be present, and Major General Otis reviewed the troops in his stead.
 The regiment marched past in per feet alignment and saluted the general. Many of the companies were bedecked with carnations, presented them in the banquet hall and made a pleasing sight.
