Immediately after the reception the bat
TALON was drawn up on the street in

Governor Spry presented each officer ana
man with q copper medallion as a sOuVe-
mir of their visit to the fair. In a little
talk prior TO the presentation the governor
said that the copper from which the
medals were made was presented by
Colonel Jackling.
Governor Spry paid a high tribute to
Colonel lacking, speaking of him as
man who had won his way from hum
BILE beginning to one of the highest places
i'm the mining and business world. The
career of Colonel Jackling. the gov
ern0r concluded, should be an incentive
10 endeaVOr on the part Of every one
of you. His career indicates what is pos
sible for the American boy who possesses
the chara cteristics of industry, patience,
perseverance and intelligence. You boys
owe great deal TO him, not only for the
medallion with which 1 am about to pre-
sent you, but also for the fact that his
generosity has made this trip possible
for you
After the medallion presentation the ca
diets marched down to the plaza west OF
the music pavilion and gave a dress pa
rade The ceremony was witnessed by
more than 5000 persons, who We're banked
around the parade ground and who ap-
plauded the brilliant exhibition.

The attendance was an the more re
markable because, of course, it rained
The sun shone all morning and, in fact,
almost up to- the hour for which the dress
parade was set. But the boys had hardly
begun their formation before the down
pour began. and IL lasted until after they
started 90 march back to Camp Jackling-
Nor was the parade given without Just
a trace of preliminary excitement Cap
tain Webb ordered some benches moved
I'm order to make room for one company.
An officiOus guard attempted 70 inter
fere He told the captain that the benches
must not be moved. but Captain Webb
paid no more attention to him than if
he had not spoken. He told the boys to
90 right ahead with their work. The
. guard fumed and fretted but he did not
attempt to arrest anybody. It's "a safe
proposition that If ne had he would have
found himself in a disagreement that he
couldn't by any possibility have won. The
benches were moved and the parade went
on.
Late this afternoon Governor Spry, ac-
cOmpanied by his staff, visited Camp
lacking and praised il in the highest
terms. The camp is indeed an admirable
one. thanks 10 Captain Webb and DR..
