have a competitive drill. So the committee
was directed to make arrangements for
a large military parade during the Fair.

with the railroads by which they have
obtained a very low rate of traIsoorta-
ton for troops desiring to come TO this
city, both from North Carolina and Fir-

Arrangements are also being made to
provide quarters for visiting troops. IN
yitations Mill. in Il few days, be sent to
all white troops in Virginia and North
Carolina, telling them OF the arrange
unents and requesting them TO come.
With transportation at a nominal rate
and quarters furnished, the expense of
such trip will be very small. Meals
can be obtained at the various restaurants
for a moderate price The Indications are
that the proposed military parade will be
an interesting feature of the Fair.
