The boys in blue were noticeabl,

fastened to explain that this was th'

soon became evident that the compan,

When Company B appeared on thC

of the NJ Street high school to cheer
for that was the first company from
that institution to compete. And the

Great Triumph.

petitiNe Drill Over High School
Cadets Amid Exciting Scenes.

ual Training school won the fifteenth
annual competitive drill of the com
panies composing the separate battal
ion of high school cadets on the Amer
lean league park grounds at Wash
ington the other day.
The triumph of Company Il over the
four other companies in the competi-
tive drill was unexpected and was ac-
companied by several notable features.
In the first place, it was the first time
that Company L has ever competed
in the annual drill of the colored
cadets, there being in former years
only Companies A, B, C and d. Com
pany E, too, was composed of green
recruits, its privates being boys who
entered the high school from the grad
ed schools only last February and who
have been drilling for only few
months. 1t competed against compa-

who have been studying military tao
ties for at least year.

honors have been equally divided be-
tween that school and the NJ Street
high school. In the seven previous
years that these schools have been pit
ted against each other in the annual

times and the Armstrong soldiers only
three times. There are now four vic
tories to the credit of each school,
By a remarkable coincidence Com.
pany E took off the honors this year
in the competitive drills both between
the white cadets and between the col
ored cadets. Last week Company Z
OF the business high school was pro
nounced to have put up the hest drill
of all the twelve companies from the
white high and manual training
schools.
The girls from the two rival schools
turned out to cheer the boys In blue in
large numbers. and brothers and sis
tiers and parents were there in plenty.
In the boxes around the front of the
grand stand seats were many persons
OF prominence, including members of
congress, leading District officials and
school authorities.
On the north side sat the friends of
the NJ Street high school underneath
huge banners of the school colors-red
and black.
On the south side Of the field were
the supporters of the Armstrong
school. thousand strong and as well
equipped with banners of yellow and
blue as were their opponents with red
and black.
Company c Of the Armstrong was
the first to appear on the parade field,
and as the right guide marched from
behind the grand stand in the extreme
northeast corner of the field shout
that shook the rafters in the grand
stand went up from the Armstrong
side Of the field. The company soon
presented arms before the board OF
Judges, its captain had received his or
ders, and the movements were being
executed with marked precision that
led many In the stands to remark that
the leading company hnd set high
standard. Captain Alonzo Burwell was
In command.
