Cadet Life.

THE CITADEL, March 2.-The magnlfl-
cent parade, which was promised the
people of the city few weeks ago, Ger
tainly came up to the expectations of all.
Promptly at $50 o'clock Monday after
noon the citizen soldiery of the city were
seen approaching in column of tours, ana
in few minutes the magnlhcent spec,
tacle of over six hundred we'll uniformed
soldiers were seen standing IN line OF
company columns. The cadets of the
Porter Military Academy then marched
up and formed on the right of the militia,
adding still another charm to the scene
especially to the "cadet girls" The scene
was finally made complete, when, out
through the sally port of the grim old
building, lying across the entire green,
came double timing" to the music OF the
artillery corps band the finest body OF
cadets soldiers in America excepting OF
course those of the National Academy
the Citadel cadets. Across the square
tley doubled timed intlines not sWerVlng
an inch and halted over on the extreme
right. The scene was complete. A more
MAGNIFICENT one Charleston has never
witnessed. As soon as the inspection by
General Frost was completed, the march
down to the battery was commenced, the
order of march being as follows: one
battalion of Citadel cadets, two companies
of Porter cadets, one regiment OF militia,
one company of naval reserves, one troop
of cavalry, one battery of light artillery
and one battery of horse artillery. The
parade was witnessed by thousands OF
people and by the cheers, which were
almost continuous from the beginning to
the end, it is safe to say, all were charmed.
While passing the hotels Argyle, Charles
ton and St. John, the cadets were ap-
plauded loudly by the many visitors VINO
we're thronging upon the balconies. The
only response that COULD be given, bow
ever. was clear command by the officers
and a straight line by the line. The parade
was over by $40 and soon all was as qale'
as before.
Exams are over and all, of course, are
pleased. Some, however, are beginnlng
to realize that all the time which has been
thrown away, cannot be made up now III
the short four months left, and are begin
ing to drop out ..:uo
Cadet Walker, who was forced to retire
in 1900 on account of sickness, has re-
turned with the determination, he says,
to graduate. os
The class of 1900 presented to each OF
the literary societies through its president,
MIR. Smoak, a beautiful crayon portrait OF
William Gilmore Simms. In a few words
MIR. Smoak told of the fine organization
of his class and advised the present class
to do likewise. Then in short speech
he presented the portraits. Through
Cadets Cole and Copeland the two socle-
ties thanked their friends for the gift, at
the conclusion of which the meeting was
adjourned. w. oo'
