COL. LUNDEEN ATTENTIVE.
Todays opportunity to see the fleet
come in from an especially good posi-

from them. The parade was a dress
rehearsal for tomorrow's exercises and
brought out parade form never before
approached by the cadets. with never
a slip to indicate that the drilling had
not yet been sufficient. the boys went
through their maneuvers and through
the manual OF arms as one man, elicit
ing the heartiest applause from both
army spectators and civilians.
