WON BY COMPANY A.

Crack Company of Cavalry Baptist Church, Captures Trophy Cup" The semi-annual inter- company com- petition for the regimental drill trophy of the Third regiment, Boys Brigade, attracted quite a large assemblage of friends and relatives of the embryo sol diers to Warner hall last evening. The quarters were little small for the easy execution of the different move ments, but this only served to exhibit the good generalship of the officers to a greater degree and they were ire quently applauded.
 The judges of the competition were Lieutenant Edward Gruener, Sergeant Edward Fox and Corporal Guenef of the Grays. They awarded the cup to Co., A of the Calvary Baptist church. The decision of the judges was pop ular one, as the company had execut- ed the many movements faultlessy. Company A won the cup year ago, but lost it at the regimental field day to Co K of Dwight Place church, which held it up to last evening.
 Other companies taking part in the drill were from Welcome hall, Westvlle Congregational, Dwight Place, Olivet Baptist and Humphrey street Congre- gational churches The drill began at 730 o'clock. It was followed by an in teresting programme consisting of a drill by Co. A, solo by Mrs. Kate Hofer, battle formation by Go. K, recitation by Frank Miller, competition drill by squads of eight representing five com panies, and at the close battalion drill and regimental review.
 The regiment was reviewed by Colo mel Charles Walker, He announced that the regimental field day will be he held this year at Pawson park on July 4, if possible.
