the parade started. About twelve hum

these fell into their proper places in

A particularly smart-appearing body
OF troops WAS the Kamehameha cadet
battalion. commanded by Lieut. Geo.
Turner, and Cadet Major VIM. kama
In the regulation cadet gray, with
snowy white crossed belts and shining
belt buckles, the battalion made
splendid showing. Always in parades
and professions the Kan cadets can
be counted on to do their full share
toward the success of the formation,
and today's showing was, If anything,
little above the usual standard of
excellency.

The Kamehameha cadets followed
