When the historical pageant had passed
along the streets yesterday afternoon, con-
Guiding the professional displays of the ma

company competitive drill of the High
School Cadets. The drill was scheduled to
begin at o'clock. on the grounds of the
Washington base ball club, and the throngs
that lined the streets down town to witness
~the pageant lost no time IN vending their
way in the direction of the ball grounds.

Company B. commanded by Capt. c. S.
Heylman, also gave an excellent account of
itself. as did Company C. under Capt. Geo.

Capt. John d. Robertson. The drill of each
cOmrany was greeted with shouts and yells
from it's admirers, and, like Capt. Murphy,
Capt. Heylman, Capt. Washington and
Capt. Robertson had all they could do to
lug immense bouquets off the field after
they had been excused by the judges.
