ST. BERNARD is SNAPPY.
The crack st. Bernard Commandery
Drill Corps came on almost at quick
step. Precision and rapidity marked
their every movement. "Snappy," the
crowd remarked.
But it was soon perceptible that the
ST. Bernard Commandery was going
through different evolutions than its
two predecessors. Then the whisper
went around that the st. Bernard
corps had secured a special dispensa-
tion to drill under its own tactics. They
went through evolutions that they had
practiced tor years.
Quickly, almost hurriedly, but with
perfect precision and certainty Of every
move they did their work.
The difference between the st. Ber-
nard corps and that of Louisville was
almost the same as that between the
northern and the southern tempera-
ment, the one deliberate and graceful,
the other sharp and precise. BY ac-
clamation and by the judges decision
the Southrons triumphed over the best
of the North

When Ivanhoe Commandery OF Mil
waukee appeared their delegation burst
into the unique yell:
'Ivanhoe! Ivanhoe!
Three times three.
Ivanhoe! Ivanhoe!
wau-kee!"
The Ivanhoe Templars were given
the third award.
METHOD OF SCORING.
Following are the results, with the
official scores: Louisville Command
cry, 779.54; St. Bernard. 771.14; Ivanhoe.
725.03i Malta, 655.S2.
The average was made on basis Of
points for every movement, making a
total of $40. The three army officers in
charge simply computed impartially,
according to their own estimates.
Before the awards were announced
the four competing communicates
marched around the field in battalion
formation. Then there was anxiety
among the Kentucky delegation.
In the judges tent sat the stern
Judges and they decreed that none
should hear their deliberations. They
emerged and quietly but firmly re-
fused to tell who had won.
This is awful, the suspense" re-
marked one of the blue grass beau
ties. oh, if those Yankees win after
all our hopes and troubles."
The competing corps swung round
in battalion front. Sir Knight Rickton,
chairman of the drill committee. step
ped to the front and center. In the
midst of a dead silence he said:
THE Judges have given their decis-
ion. | trust that all will be satisfied
with it. Louisville wins.
The rebel yell started again and the
entire assemblage took it up. AT the
communicates the Kentucky girls
started MY Old Kentucky Home" once
more. The blue grass bellies waited till
their Sir Knights were dismissed and
then-verily it is pleasant to be a MEM
Der of winning corps. The Southern
girls know how to congratulate.
CALIFORNIANS DRILL.
When the competing communicates
had been dismissed the drill corps of
/ Sacramento went through some beauti-
full evolutions. They formed stars,
squares, crosses and double crosses,
never losing the rythmic cadence OF
their step.
Many remarked that if hospitality
had permitted the Los Angeles Knights
to enter the competition they would
have stood fine chance to win. Theirs
was purely an exhibition drill.
