Troops at Military Shoe.

The drill representing the loading and firing with
5-nch guns. with service ammunition by the "a
Battalion. Naval Militia Of New-York. under the
command Of Lieutenant Charles H Hall. made ths
Military Show at Madison Spare Garden a noisy
place last evening and brought out generous ap.
plause contrast to this exhibition was the tells
graph line building and flag drill by the 1st Signal
Corps y. G. y. Y. under Captain Oscar Erland-
sens command. which. while interesting. was done
quietly and skilfully as a church mouse
moves about.
The sist riighlanders again occupied the centre
of attraction. Some faUlthnding spectators have
complained that the bass drum player in the band
OF pIpers did not pound the instrument with the
same vim as did the individual who smashed the
drum with the 18th Hghlanders last year. IF these
faultfnders were present last night they must have
been appeased for the noise that came from the
drum not unlike the sounds that came rom
the 2d Battalion guns.

evening In the march were United States troops.
