the annual company contest of the High
School regiment. At the close the high
est score company of the two days will
be announced. Which of the Mckinley
Manual and Western High companies
that drilled yesterday scored the highest

opinions varying somewhat according to
the preference of the hundreds of rep
resentatives of the several schools.
One thing is certain. Company d of
mckinley Manual which won the prize
last year, went through its maneuvers
yesterday in a fashion to delight adher-
ents of that school and to give them
b gh hopes of victory again this year.
But ''dopesters" of the result have been
almost Invariably wrong in predicting
the winner during the twenty-five years

the Judges have not agreed.
