.ORILL FOR PRIZES.
NATIONAL GUARDSMEN'S AN
NUAL CONTEST.
Final orders Issued BY Colonel Jones
Vehicles Asked to Avoid Capitol
Square.

Orders have been issued by Col. j.
w. Jones for companies A, b, G, Il, r.,
G, and II, of the National Guard, to
assemble at the drill shed at / O'Clock
today, to prepare tor the annual prize
drill. The grand stand on the vacant
lot at the EVA end of the square in
front of the Capitol building has been
\ finished and is ready tor use. A few
decorations have been placed on it.
The grand" stand is far from being a
thing Of beauty, but it is expected to
last through the afternoon. A canvass
cover ana back have been put on it,
and though it looks much like the re-
mains of an old barn patched up, it
will probably serve to hold the special
guests of the day while they watch the
drill.
Companies A, b, e, f, and G will APP
pear in the drill, the order being for
ranks of 10 files. The members of these
companies not taking part, with Com
panies G and II, will form the guard.
The orders are for fatigue blouse, cap,
white trousers, white gloves and leg
gins. The use of gloves in the drill,
after inspection, is discretionary.
This morning the square was sprink-
led and the ground is in good condition
for marching. The attendance at the
and there will be large crowds on the
sidewalks to watch the events. The
men were out last night for final prac-
tee ana now they are ready to do their
best for the prize cup, which was won
last year by Company f, Captain S.
johnson. Ii is a valuable silver cup,
costing $3.50, and with it goes a cash
prize of $75. The second and third
awards are $50 and $25
Company f has worked hard to
maintain the cup again. The cup be-
comes the property Of any company
that wins it three times. If r gets it
again, however, il will not do so with
out a struggle, for other companies
have put in equally hard work
Hacks and other vehicles are asked
to avoid the square as much as posi-
he this afternoon. Those going to the
opera house may reach the latter by
Lassing through the capitol grounds,
and other vehicles by short detours,
may pass along Hotel or Queen streets.
The companies have half an hour each
in which to go through an elaborate
series OF evolution, and the contest will
probably take up most of the after
noon
