 Company A---W. A. Taber, Henry Clements, Andrew Barnett and Hugh Conner. Company B-Frank Gay Henry Hunter, Elias Eagle and A. B. Menefee.

 The company competitive drill, for the award of colors and the Lasseter sword to the commanding captain, was held yesterday afternoon at 4:S0 o'clock at the school parade grounds.
 To commands of their captains, both companies were put through a regu- lar military drill. The cadets marched and counter-marched. presented arms, charged. fired and in fact, did every thing in the military curriculum of the school. The best drilled company ac- cording to the judges Major Paterson and Lieutenant Dexter, of the Alabama National Guard, which will be an- nounced at the exercises this morning, will be allowed to carry tss battalion colors next year while the members of the winning company will be allowed to wear gold bands on the sleeve of theirsdress coat, and the captain com manding. will be presented with the Lasseter sword
 The final dress parade of the year and the grand review by the Superin- tendent, J. NJ. Starke. was held at 6:s0 o'clock yesterday evening. and 1t was an inspiring military picture, as the young cadets arrayed in their full dress summer uniforms, responded to the final commands of their captains and passed through the final drill of the 1909 session.
 Several hundred people. including the parents of the~ cadets and friends of the school. lined the parade ground or crowded the large porch of the school barracks, to witness the drills, and 1t was in fact a real miniature of the far famed commencement exercises of the United States Military Academy at West Point.
