inspection again and, headed by the
band, took up its farewell line Of march
10 Main street Then, through the
throngs Of friends the young soldiers
who viii represent Utah at the Seattle
exposition marched to Fourth South
street and then countermarched north
TO South Temple street. After months
of patient drilling the cadets presented
an appearance that gave assurances of
their creditable showing at the exposi-
ton. With almost perfect alignment,
they paraded before the eyes of fathers,
mothers and friends and the band OF
forty pieces set a mark OF excellence
seldom equalled by a juvenile organ
ization.
On their arrival at the railroad yards
the cadets in true military style at
tended to the loading of baggage and
equipment under the watchful eye of
capt. w g. webb and the cadet Of
ficers, while a crowd Of 500 or more
High school students and their friends
bade them goodbye with songs and
cheers. It was a proud moment for
the parents and friends as the bat
TALON left on its second trip to the
coast and the youthful soldiers beamed
with pride as they waved goodbye
when their journey began.
Orderly to the final degree as was
the departure of the High school cadets
II furnished an amusing contrast to
the hustle Of excitement and confusion
that attended the departure of the
members of the Tabernacle choir and
friends about ten hours later. Every
one who had made arrangements to go
on the special train with the choir had
been assigned to his berth and car and
there We're attendants at the station to
furnish further directions. 1t was every
one for himself and a Satanic guide for
the hindermOst as the train was loaded,
and il seemed as though each eXcur-
siCnist was accompanied by at least
two friends who wanted TO board the
cars before farewells were said.
The official party viii leave at about
IL o'clock tonight in Col. Jacklings
