of the United States army the best drilled
off the eight companies constituting the
regiment.
There was a moment of awful suspense
when the judges appeared on the field to
make known the identity of the winning
company. The regiment was formed in
line, extending entirely across the spacious
grounds of the Washington Base Ball Club.
Capt. Scott, chairman OF the board Of
judges, in a whisper, made known the win
ming company to Col. Gunnell, commanding
the regiment. The latter in turn gave a
whispered order to his adjutant, Capt. Mer-
win, directing him to summon the fortu-
nate organization to the front and center.
With the utmost calmness Capt. Merwin
proceeded directly toward the interval be-
tween the LIST Battalion and the ID Bat
talon of the regiment. Reaching a point
on a line with the captain, he paused for
an instant.
The FatefuI Moment.
The shouting that had been in order all
afternoon ceased entirely. 1t was an in
slant of great anxiety. Should Capt. Mer-
win turn to the right the hopes of the
Central High School would be blasted, for
the prize would go to one of the other
schools. Should he turn to the left the
Eastern, Western and Business Schools
would be out of the race. Many hearts al
most ceased beating, not only those of the
