Guns were first stacked, and the men were put through a series of movements with little fingers touching the trousers stripes. This was what a Star reporterlearned had been done after he had waited for 15 minutes for the company to appear before the grand stand where their movements could be seen.

Quietly creeping under the railing separating the drill ground trom the grand stand the Stax man slipped over to the pyrorama light-house, He took a seat in the shade of the surrounding can- vas rocks and took a look at the soldiers. A hundred or more of the persons who had paid to see the drill swarmed into the same vicinity, but a squad of policemen soon made thelr and cleared the field. No member of the drill committee was on “hand to give the spectators a chance by seeing to it that the arrangements’ changed.

After the first two companies had drilled General Ordway, at camp, received word from a member of committee that the companies were drilling where they could not be seen well, and he imme. diately issued an order directing that those to follow should execute their movements nearer the FFERG stand, greatly to the satisfaction of every- THE GRAND Rartps GUARDS had drawn number four, but they withdrew from competition on account of the sickness of two men. Their place was taken by the next organt- zation which had drawn number five.

Four men acted as color guard and held the company flag at adistance when the drilling commenced. The band ceased playing as soon as they entered the grounds, and stationed themselves near the pyro- Tama light-house and watched the movements of their comrades with greatinterest, As the South- Tons marched toward the grand stand they received rounds of cheersand applause. They marched asone man, and their general appearance was tne. ‘Their uniform was very effective—dark-blue trou- sers, with wide white stripe; tight-fitting biue coats, with white stripes across the chest, and tails trimmed with white, and pure white shakos, With ‘gold tassels on tiie front. They went, t6 Work in a deliverate business-like manner, and succeeded in making a very favorable impression.

On the whole their drilliug, however, was very creditable, and they divided the honors of the day so far with the Muscatines. The Southrons were at a disad- Vantage in belng required to drill on slippery grass to Which they were not accustomed. It was supposed that the drills were all exactly the same, but the maneuvers did not seem exactly alike, At any rate the movements were not all in the same order. This gave considerable variety to the drills, as the spectators did not see the sane thing over and over again.
