time II has been In training, under
Drum Major William Parent. Of
Frankfort, who is a member OF the
Second reglmental band. There were
several young ladies out to witness
this feature, which is one of the
most impressive of the daily routine.
The guards during actual hostilities
have the most responsible work to
perform. They do patrol duty and
have the lives of the regiment in
their hands, as they have to be con-
stantly on the watch for the enemy.

Religious Services Sunday.
Sunday will be a day of rest with
the soldiers. This regiment, like the
Second. is also without a chaplain,
but there will probably be a reli-
gious service conducted by Colonel
Noel Gaines, inspector general. Col

ligious talks and is especially fitted
to talk to the soldiers. After guard
mount Sunday morning Colonel
Hindman will make a regimental in
spection in quarters. This will con-
clude the daily routine until $3.50
O'Clock when the dress parade will
take place in the baseball park. The
report that the dress parade had
been changed is wrong. 1t has al

ducah to give the exact hour OF the
governors review which was the
same hour when he inspected the
Second regiment.
