THE HIGH SCHOOL CADETS.
Annual Inspection- and prexs Parade
In the White Iaf

The annual inspection and dress parade
OF the High School Cadets took place yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, and almost
two hours were consumed in going through
the various evolutions. The regiment
formed at 430 o'clock at Thirteenth Street
and New York Avenue, and headed by the
Marine Band proceeded to the White Lot
where large crowd OF spectators had
assembled. The regiment crossed the cir
Gle and halted. after which they were in
spected by Gen. George II. Harries and
staff. After the inspection the regiment
passed before the reviewing officers. who
were General Harries and staff; Allison
Nailor, who donated the gold medal con-
tested for each year in the competitive
drill; DR.. Lane, director Of the High
Schools, and Col Burton r. Ross, iDstruc-
tor OF the High School Cadets. new
feature was added to the usual programme
in the firing with blank cartridges which
followed. Previously the only practice
the boys have received in the use OF the
cartridges before going on the drill field
has been limited to one afternoons prac-
tice at the Arsenal, when firing by COM
pany only was the rule. Yesterday fires
were made by company, battalion, and
regiment, which not only added steadiness
to the individual cadets, but made an i'm
pressive and beautiful sight against the
background of the monument and the dark
green OF the trees. In the maneuvres the
cadets showed proficiency over the drill
OF last year and excellent exhibitions may
be looked for at the competitive drill the
latter part of this month.
In the firing great improvement was
noticed. The fire at will by the regiment
was particularly good, while in the fire
by battalion that of the second battalion
was almost perfect. The company fires
were uniformly good, and called for dis
play Of enthusiasm on the part of the
partisans of the various schools. The
regiment was then put through a short
manual of arms, followed by dress pa
rade that was favorably criticised by the
members Of the District Volunteers who
witnessed it. The regiment then marched
to Fifteenth Street and the Avenue where
it was disbanded. The parade yesterday
differed from those OF former years in
that it wak more elaborate and embraced
features which had never been part of the
programme before. The efficiency Of the
regiment was considered up to the stan
dard and the authorities expressed them
selves as being well pleased.

as Soon us Possible.
The automobile will be regular inztitu-
ton in Washington within a few days, and
before the summer is over there will be
fifty or more of the horseless carriages in
the streets. The Washington Automobile
Company, one CT the concerns under the
auspices of the Stevens Crosby railway and

scriptions delivered as fast as they can be
turned out from the factory. Three of the

There will be cab service, furnishing g
transportation to any part of the city in
competition with the present cab system,
busses running in Pennsylvania Avenue
and Sixteenth Street will also be estab-
lished. The herdics in Sixteenth Street
will be abandoned. The question as to the
amount of fare to be charged for the diff
ferent services has been taken up by Pre-
ident Lieb and the other officers of the
company, but nothing has as yet been de-
cided on.
There has been much discussion over
the possibility that the Stevens Crosby
