REVIEW FOR DICKINSON
Busy Day for West Point Cadets
Two to Wed at Once.
by Telegraph to The Tribune. !

West Point, n. Y, June H-To-day has
been one of hurry and hustle for the
cadets, lodging into one uniform after an
other for various drills. When they were
thoroughly tired out just before the time
set for the farewell parade, there was a
review in honor of Secretary Dickinson,
who arrived later in the afternoon and will
present the graduates their diplomas to-
morrow. Without their guns the members
of the graduating class marched out with
the battalion tonight for their last time
at parade as cadets, and as the band
started the sweet strains of Home, Sweet
Home" swinging into AUD Lang Syne,"
there were eyes that were dimmed with
tears Of regret, mingled with those of joy
at the termination of their long, hard
course Of study.
FORMING the centre company of the line.
the graduates left the battalion and
marched to the reviewing officer, Colonel
Sibiey, commandment of cadets. who made
short speech congratulating them on their
successfully completing the course and
welcoming them into the ranks of the COM
missioned officers of the army But with
all their drills and work of packing up the
cadets are not too tired to dance and to-
night Memorial Hall is ablaze with light,
pretty girls mingles with the strains OF
Waltzes and two-steps.
General Walter Howe, commander of the
department of the East, will deliver the
address to the graduates tomorrow, and
among others of distinction who have al
ready arrived are Inspector General E. A
Darlington, whose son graduates number

Amidst all the hustle and furry of pack
ing uD and making final arrangements to
depart after graduation tomorrow, Robert
W. Barr was one cadet at least who had
thoughts for things of far greater impor-
lance, and so quietly did he go about it that
few of his classmates dreamed that imme-
diately after receiving his diploma to-mor-
row he will go straight to the chapel and
be married to Miss Emily Glasgow, of
Clinton, Mo, which is also the home Of
Mr. Barr. To-morrOw's ceremony will be
the elimination of a romance begun in
childhood and ripening into a love which
his separa ton of four years at the military
school has only strengthened.
To-day's announcement was q big sur
prise 10 Cadet Bars comrades, and the
news was greeted with the appropriate
amount of undergraduate noise and grand
rush made to congratulate the first of the
class who will become a benedict. The
handsome new chapel was dedicated last
Sunday. and Cadet Barr will be the first
TO be married there. Bobby" as Cadet
Bars classmates lovingly like to call him,
is one of the most popular men in the out
going class, and out OF the class of eighty
two men he will graduate No II and be
assigned 10 the artillery corps.
The wedding will be very quiet one, the
former post chaplain the Rev. Herbert
Shipman, officiating. Miss Ella Barr, sister
of the bridegroom, will attend the pride.
After graduation and on his arrival in
Washington tomorrow Cadet D. H. Tor
rey, of Utah. will marry Miss Alice Buck
ley. a sister of Captain NIerwin c. Buckley,
1st Artillery Corps, who will be best man
for his younger brother harms. The cere-
mony will take place in St. Margaret's
Protestant Episcopal Church, Washington.
