fertninment Given by the Cadets.
That the military spirit has taken a
firm hold on the American people was
again evidenced at Gonzaga College Hall
during the band concert and prize drill
given under the auspices of the cadet
corps and military band last night The
hall was crowded with an audience of
enthusiastic listeners. who were greatly
pleased with the entertainment especially
the ensemble work of the band and the
various drills and exercises. The pro-
gramue Was we'll arranged and very
effectively executed. The sword exercise
by ten officers of the cadet corps. under
the command of Prof p J. Darieulat. the
fenecr, was one OF the features of the first
part and the various maneuvers. ihrusts
and parties were given with much vim
and precision. The same thing may be
said Of the bayonei exercises. by twelve
members of Company a. of the cadet
corps, under command of Capt Frederick
l. Devereux.
The entertainment opened with the
"ChaTlatan March, By Sousa rendered
by the full military band, which was ar
ranged in large semi-eircle on the stage.
The principal musicians occupied the first
row. while those of the second row we're
bugiers to the number of twenty-four
The boys composing the band wore their
natiy bluish-gray uniforms, which served
as pretty contrast TO the green foliage
of The al fresco setting surrounding the
players.
The most heartily applauded numbers
in the second part of the programme were
a drum exercise by thirty buglers and
drummers OF the Gonzaga Drum Corps,
competitive drill by ten members of
Company b, and a sword exhibition by
Chevalier e. Trentenoye. the Florentine
sculptor. and Prof. r. J. DaTieulat
The competitive drill was well contested
by twelve cadets and elected much interest
as It progressed X. McHenry Gallaher
was the ultimate winner. and was awarded
q gold medal. The drill in the end had
narrowed down 10 a close rivalry between
the winner and John J. Burns, and the
final struggle fer supremacy between the
cadets was rather exciting. The drilling
done by Edward Burke, one OF the con-
testants. was highly praised and for
while 1t looked as though be would be
the medal man.
The sword exhibition between Cheyalier
Trentenoye and Prof Darieulat, the fenc-
ing master. was won BY the latter. Both
participants exhibited a keen knowledge
of swordsmanship and showed rare skill.
inteTspersed between the drill exercises
and combats were trumpet solos, waltzes.
and other musical features by the band.
