The; latter is charged as well with having organized a band of "kids" who made the morning air vibrate with sweet melodies wrought upon a • variety of instruments. The boys, at least, enjoyed themselves im- mensely. One of the most attractive features of the program was the drill exhibition 'given by the cadets of the Godericb and Clinton Collegiate Institutes, who ,went through different movements in, Mariner which reflected, much credit nylon themselves and their instructors. The training the students thus get is a capital thing for them. It takes the kink inib. of their shoulders and makes them mere supple. It likewise incul- cates a greater loyalty to their seat of learning and, as well, itIteRessestpon them the virtue of obedience. - The organization of the Gocle"rieb corps, which took place at Easter, was • due in a great measure to the energy of Lieut. Grant, one of the Collegiate staff, who has since devoted consider- able time to instructingthe cadets in the manual. The corps is now fifty strong and equipped with the new Martini rifle, It cart Stand Easy, FOritl Fours, P'lx Bayonets or March Past with an ease and readiness which would put some companies of the 33rd to sheme. The, cadets' colors are those of, the Collegiate, white and blue t their Officers are: Capt. Snell, Lieut. Packett; Sergts. Brydges and Masson, and Corps. Durnian and Brown.. The Clinton Collegiate cadets were only oeganized about three weeks ago, but in that tinae Capt. Combo has vvorked wondere, and the citizens were surprised at their proficiency, They are only twentrseven etrong, but, marched yesterday as steadily at old inenihees of the volunteer fore, and handled their Snider rifles with preci- Sion. In cap and sash they displayed the 0. 0, L colors, red and blue. The corps should be kept up, as the training the students thus receive improves them nientally and physically.
