dent OF the board OF judges. After re-
ceiving his instructions, which were 70
follow out the order OF evolutions as
closely as possible, Capt Gordon swung
his men into column of fours and com
menced the long and intricate drill. Com
pany G's swinging into motion was the
signal for the Business High rooters TO
let loose. which they did with a vim.
The drill was followed out TO the letter,
but several Of the alignments were rag
ged, as well as some Of the voley firing.
Crack Company 1.
Crack Company I, of Central was the
next to march on the field. AS Capt
BONNIE and his company made their APP
pearance the supporters Of the Blue and
White broke forth with their yells and a
sea Of blue and white streamers and rib
bons were waved vigorously.
Company c. with machine-lilSe move
ments, marched 10 within fifteen yards Of
the judges and presented arms. After re-
ceiving Instructions. Capt. BONNIE began
the drill that was to darken the chances
OF the supporters Of the Technical High
for the time being. Changing direction,
squads right into line, piatoons left front
into line. and many other intricate move
ments were executed by the Central boys,
Company failed on the volley firing and
the manual Of arms. while one or two of
the movements prescribed by the regula-
tons We're passed over.
Following Company I, Company Z, OF
the Business High. took up the work.
Capt A. J. Kause. assisted by his two
lieutenants, ]. c. Dulin. first, and G.. c.
! Howard. second, worked the men OF L
TO tie limit. II was thought by many
that Company r exceeded the cadence Of
10 steps 10 the minute. The company
was exceedingly good az vOlley firing, but
did not DO so well on some OF the close
order formations Capt. Kause was en-
couraged in his work by the supporters
Of the Orange and Blue.
Company B. OF the Central High
marched on the field as Company was
leaving and again the supporters Of the
Blue and White demonstrated that any
one Of the companies representing Central
was a favorite with them. Capt. Heit-
muller, after receiving orders, put the
boys through the drill in a manner be-
coming veteran officer. The move
ments from column to line and line to
column were done with precision. but the
firing was ragged. The cadence Of 40
steps TO the minute was kept up by the
boys throughout the drill. and as this is
one Of the numbers on the programme
that had several points 70 Il. it counted
for Company B.
Last on the Field
When Company A. the last company to
come on the field commenced drilling. the
predictions made on Tuesday by adherents
OF Central that = Company would make
any Of the teams hustle 10 win were more
than realized. This company. under COM
mand Of Capt w. = Kelley. soon made
an impression in the minds OF the gem
eral public that caused them 70 doubt
their selection OF d or / 20 win. TIE
men went through every movement the
instructions called for. and when the
volley firing commenced the hopes OF the
Technical boys were again held in sus-
pense, for the rounds OF shots were fired
without a mistake. II was in the manual
OF arms that Company was exceIled by
Company d.
As soon as the last company marched
20 the left end OF the field, the land took
position in center field and all the com
panies OF the regiment, IN the following
order. took position for tho review. Band;

To the tune OF The High School Ca
dets.' the regiment marched up 10 with
IN nifty yards OF the reviewing stand in
column Of fours. At that point ii was
wheeled into column OF companies, and
each company passed the judges. the
officers saluting.
As each company passed down the field
after the review, II formed into battalion
front, with the reglmental officers sta
toned in the center and in front Of the
men facing the reviewing party. The
colonel Of the regiment at a signal from
the chairman OF the judges directed the
regimental adjBtant 10 proceed 20 the
judges and get his instructions. II was
at this point that absolute stiffness reign
cd over the great crowd. for they were
soon 10 learn which was the winning COM
pany.
The regimental adjutant. after receiv-
ing instructions from the judges, marched
TO the center Of the regiment. and then
wheeled 10 the right until he came 10 the

halted. He saluted the captain OF Com
pany %, which signifed that he was the
lucky company The salute was also the
signal for the supporters Of the maroon
and gray to exercise their lungs. and

and received It's prizes. after which the
regiment was disbanded and the twenty
