have made the ground OF the American
League Base Ball Park too soft to permit
OF good marching. Principal R. H. Terrell
has deemed it wise to postpone the annual
compahy competitive drill of the Colored
High School cadets until Wednesday after
noon. June 8. at 40 o'clock. Although
this Is a reserved date for the drill of the
companies OF the High School regiment, IL
is hoped the weather conditions will be pro-
pitious Monday and Tuesday for the white
schools. SO that the colored boys may have
their chance before the Washington Base
Ball Club returns to the city.
