Lost Micky, the Mascot.
The pupils OF the Western High School
have a superstition that Company Fl lost
the drill purely because "Micky," their
mascot, was not present yesterday. This
highly esteemed quadruped. the property
Senator Mason of Illinois, and one of the
most popular girls at the Western. oc-
cupied seat of honor on the first day Of
the drill and received considerable hon.
age. Yesterday, however. the little mas
cot was not present. and this. many Of
the superstitious pupils claim, was the
reason that II lost the drill.
The roofing of Tuesday, deafening as II
was. could not be compared in the least
with the continual roar Of yesterday.
Even the terrible downpour of rain could
not dampen the ardor of the students. In
fact, the torrent spurred the youngsters
on TO redouble their efforts In order that
they might show their appreciation o.
Company C's pluck in putting up such an
excellent drill in the very midst OF the
rain. Again, under the charge of their
picturesque boss rooters,' they were
massed in the sections reserved for the
supporters of the various schools.
Never Say Die.
Rarely ever did the fans OF the differ
ent institutions allow the din to die
down. All the yells and songs OF the first
day were used again with new additions.
Western and Business came out particu-
larly strong In the roofing today, but
were followed closely by the girls OF
Eastern and Central, and the Beef
Eaters OF Technical. The latter, had
their black anrils on long poles strongly
in evidence again. Everywhere were
flags and bunting. The decorations gen.
orally were very much mole elaborate
than the day previous.
Westerns crowd relied to a great ex-
tent upon its singing yesterday. Every
few minutes they would shout out a song
and wind it up with some favorite yell.
The most popular song of the day was
the following, which seemed to create
fighting spirit on the part of the Business
boys:

From n general standpoint the drill
of yesterday was somewhat Of an i'm
provement over the one OF Tuesday
While no company displayed a series
OF maneuvers that could be called really
brilliant. as was the case several times
while Companies F and G were on the
field, the work of the boys as whole
was a noticeable improvement. There
were fewer very bad breaks noticeable.
Also the boys went about their work
with steadiness and coolheaded fore
thought, which was several times de-
ficient in the officers and privates OF the
Second Battalion.
Only in very rare instances did the
boys allow their work to drop below a
standard that might be called generally
good, but to Offset this. they seldom, II
ever, rose above the mediocre. With the
exception Of brief periods. which were
lamentably few and far between, the
cadets entered into their maneuvers with
no special amount OF snap. Their calm
ness was the most noticeable feature Of
the drills put up by all OF the four COM
panies Particularly was this true of

serious handicap of having to work in
the binding rain, with the assembled

NEW YORK, June 1.-THE talent en-
joyed another prosperous inning at
Gravesend today, FIVE favorites winning,
and all of them backed with great lib
crafty. The track up to the fourth
race was fast. but 1t did not take long
for the rain which fell TO turn it into
a quagmire. c. F. Dryers colors were
twice carried to victory, Francesca TAX
ing the Myrtle Stakes and Ethics, the
Carter Handicap winner. defeating W. c.
Whitney's four year-old Meddler filly,
Morningside. in the 1920 handicap, at a
mile and one furlong. The performance
of Ethics was not only a great surprise
10 the wise men. but it was attended
by piece of alleged fouling in the
stretch that brought protest from Mr..
Whitney's jockey, which, after due de-
liberation on the part of the stewards,
was not allowed

Very Large Company.

Company B, the first on the field yes

pany. probably the largest in the regi-
ment On this account it was cumber-

calm captain. 1t would have doubtless
gotten in its own way upon many oc-
casiong. This was exactly what did not
happen On the contrary. the drill which

ever, when compared with the smaller
organizations. Its work could not be
called noteworthy. Almost the only
points that could come In for any seri-
GUS criticism In Company BIS drill were
lack of great amount OF snap. the
leaving out OF one number of the pro-
gram, and the inability of several of the
boys to keep step at times. But to
counterbalance these defects the firing

was a squealing in the pens, a squall-

coops. Every oven was kept at the
baking point and laden with savory
toothsome viands. Presents were drag

marked with loving notices, and the
names of the favored recipients. There
vas a general scrubbing. cleaning and
busting, and furnishing up of holt
day garments and finery.
The men drowned themselves in
coffee, punch and branvin and shouted
themselves hoarse with oft-repeated
"skald." The women gossiped and
cooked and cooked and gossiped, while
the chubby children erammed their
stomachs with unwonted cakes and
sweetmeats unmolested. Everything
was free for the taking and the priv

Though wrapped in the warmest of
furs, Olga shivered as she stood alone
amid the silent, gloomy, wintry waste
of the forest. Not long had she wait
ed ere distinctly through the awful
stillnes came the changing strokes OF
midnight which Karl rung upon the
barrel of his gun with hammer to
warn her of the time. With clear
but quayering voice the girl called out

account, thinking she would better be
going around with fearful eyes and
loud lamentations, but they ate freely
OF her good things none the less.
Simple souls, they were not aware
that the lost Johan was to be the
great surprise OF course, everybody
mad given him up for lost. and they
we're amazed that Olga should be the
r1erriest maiden in the village, and
that her home was to be the very
center of the merrymaking on the Jul
Alton. The pastor had been fore
warned by Karl. and the good soul
came prepared to fight the wicked
troll for the salvation OF Johan and
Olga.
The board groaned beneath the
weight of good cheer and the huge
howl was kept constantly trimming
