THOSE WHO DRILLED YESTERDAY Rain Did Not Dampen the Young Men's Ardor. SOME GOOD POINTS MADE ne aan In the midst of pouring rain and enthusi- astic applause the five companies composing the second battalion of the regiment of Washington High School Cadets yesterday afternoon successively appeared on the drill field at the National Base Ball Park and en- deavored to surpass each other in an inter- pretation of a program of military tactics. The outcome is known to no one but the board of judges, and it will remain their secret until the close of the competition, this afternoon. As stated in The Star, undoubt- edly the most picturesque audience that ever graced the ball grounds in Washington was in attendance at 3 o'clock, although a light rain was falling at that hour. The Didn't Mind the Rain. grand stand and bleachers held fair girls without number, the majority wearing the colors of their favorite company; and at in- tervals throughout the afternoon the rooters for the Central, Business, Eastern and Western schools made themselves heard from all portions of the grounds. Promptly at the hour announced for be- ginning the contest Capt. Robinson and company E, made up of pupils of the Busi. ness school, entered the field from the northeast corner of the grounds, and simul- taneously the judges, Capt. Constantine Chase, Lieut. John T. French and Lieut. Henry H. Whitney of the fourth artillery, United States army, wearing fatigue uni- forms and accouterménts, appeared. Amid loud shouting and continued applause, for the Business school, since its in possessed a remarkable faculty for making itself heard, company E advanced to a posi- tion facing the grand stand, halted, pre- sented arms, Capt. Robinson saluted the chairman of the board of judges and the annual strife had begun. Although slight errors were discernible, the exhibition of each company was prac- tically perfect. The rifie salute of com- pany E was a little ragged, and at one fire With the Judges. a front rank man cast his head down before per chamber at load, and the same soldier a moment later, after firing, lowered his rifle before the command. It was rain- ing quite steadily at this point, and when “lie down” was commanded and executed without a flinch, the applause increased greatly. The second lieutenant marred the line of file closers by tardiness in executing the command “file closers on the left flank.” As the company left the field a policeman advanced with a large bunch of roses, but Capt. Robinson proved himself a good sol dier by declining to accept them at that time, but later sent his second Meutenant to take charge of the offering. “Hobble gobble, razzie dazzle, siss, boom bah, Capitol High School, rah, rang out as company F of the Eastern Hien School swung into sight around the left- field bleachers. Capt. Leonard commanded a company of four full sets of fours, and his warriors proved that they knew a thing or two about tactics. After saluting, the cap- tain raised his sword before the ‘chairman of the judges returned the courtesy. At right-hand salute a private rank was a little hasty. Fall out and fall in were particularly well executed. Capt Leonard halted the company too far to the | Boquets for the Brave. right for the men to properly break the stacks, and, in consequence, considerable pushing and a decided ragged appearance ensued. Rifle salute might have been bet- ter, and the third man from the left of the company in the rear dropped his piece at “take.” The rain had increased consider- ably, and the spectators were appt but when the boys went down on in the front | | ‘mud | from Emulsion, because fat foods make fat children, They are thin, and remain thin just in Proportion to their inability to assimilate food rich in fat.

At fours left about from a halt one man went right about and thereby gave the judges an opportunity to use their pencils. The obliques and foot movements of this company in double time were = ceptionally fine, and the din was territic Capt. Leonard saluted and marched his boys from sight. As Capt. Carter and company I, from tt Business School, came before the multitude of its friends and enemies the rain had ceased, but the ground was muddy and de- cidedly slippery. Again rifle salute was poor, and a curved front was presented as the company halted after forming line from column of fours, but the halting in line from oblique could not have been better. At fours left about, followed immediately by halt, one man was slow and the obliques in double time were not executed as well as those of the preceding company. The only other points that could be criticised were the failure of the guide of the leading four to maintain a proper distance to the rear of the leading company guide in column of draggiets, fours and the failure of the second lieutems ant to salute at the final present. A feat- ure of the drill of this company was that its file closers followed the example of the company proper at the command “Lie duwn,” none of the other contestants doing so. The boys claim that their method is the correct one, and expect to be marked high for pursuing it. That company I is popular was demonstrated by the furore that mark- ed its exit. Company H, under command of Capt. Wilson, had come all the distance from the ‘Western Schooi, located in Georgetown,an@ its members probably felt weary, for their work was not as snappy as that of its ri- vals. But, nevertheless, it seemed as though the entire population of West Washington Capt. Wilson. present, judging from the hearty re was ception extended the lads. As the company faced about, after stacking arms, one stack fell, and mournful “ohs” were heard on all sides. Rifle salute, as the case with the other competitors, was not good. At right turn the left of the company swung around without taking sufficient space, and there- fore caused a jam, one private finding it necessary to steady the rifle with his left hand. Capt. Wilson shortly after repeated the command, when the company was too close to the grand stand, and as a result his men and the boards collided. The com- mand “Fours right” was then given an@ executed to relieve the trouble, but during the melee the captain forgot to command “Forward” after the turn, but the judges did not forget to score him for it. After rising from ‘L two men saluted and fixed their caps. n Red flowers tied with gray ribbons rewarded the boys as they left the field. Company G, under command of Capt. Steward, presented a business-like appear- ance from the moment of its entrance. It was made up of four sets of fours and @rilled with an apparent and decided snap. One man was a trifle slow at the first pr sent, but that was forgotten when the cap- tain’ marched his company toward of stacks in quick time in column of formed line to the right and halted in actly the proper position to resume arms.
