ST. LOUIS 8OL.DIBR6 AT HOME. The Ho.cn A Talk About Xtelr Toxas Trip -The Dtacumed--Tholr of the The following the St. Louis Post-Bis- patch of Thursday; indicates how woll the St. Louis soldier boys who visltod this city recently were pleased with.their recoptton and entertainment while hero.

The Post-Dispatch says: The JBusoh Zouaves nnd Battery A of the St. Louis Light Artillery, arrived at the Union depot at seven this morning, after a two days trip from Galvcston, Tex. iThoy Immediately repaired to the armory, where they deposited then effects ond left fir their separate residences. They are all browned from -exposure to taio Southern sun, and are exhilarated from tho enjoyments of their stay Their visit to that. city they will never forget.

Tho hoys -were not enthusiastic about their treatment at Houston, but say that were so many companies there that it was impossible for the Houston Light Guard to look after each one with any great dezreo of attention, but for at Gnl- veston there is a perfect? ptoan of praise. They arrived there Sunday morning at 0 o'clock, nnd were met by the Galvoston Artillery componv, tho. Washington- Guards, tne flrtmen'B companies and a brass band, and escoited to the Beach hotel, whore they woro uiven magnificent quarters. The hotel Is within a stone's throw of the sea, and-the boys- had scarcely eaten'their breaktast before they wero piunping about in the soa During the three days they remained in -Galveston they, were so admirably entertained from early morning till It was merely a matter of choosing which amusement they TTOUldhave. AUGalveston turned out Sunday and Monday evenings to see the.bpys drill, tbeBusch Zouaves and the battery giving ex- hibilion drills both deys.

At sundown eacn evening Captain Skipwith gave a taroet practice -with the Gatling gun at a buoy: cut from shore in the gnU, and from 8000 to 10.COO -witnessed it. The Beaoh Jhotel.was crowded with the elite of the oity all the time, and as it is magnificent house, with electric ligbto illurnmating the beautiful lawn slopes. from Its to tho beach, tho vscene each night eye ev.er-witnessod; Battery were the special guests of the'Galves- ton Artillery and through tho.Hhdness of Captain Wsltliew they, three hours ride in Ihe fastest yacht the gulf, his own property. Monday afternoon ash-chowder dinner was given the Zouaves Battery at the Galveston armory. Some fishing, sorf- tathinr, drives and'social visits made the hours piss with flying feet to the drill at Houston there is a general impression that the judges were.npt impartial.

has teen the three companies hesitate say," said one of thshoys; oither.the Trcadwaya or the Mobile PJfles can give points to the Houston Light Guard and beat The judges were more severe with the best companies than with the home company- The official score shows the Houston Light Guord were 11 minutaa under inspection. ibeTrendways 10K mfnutes, and the Mobiles 14 minutes, ahe judges opened 'the belts of the Treodways to see if they ooultJ.find rust or dirt, opened their blouses to see if they had linen on, and pulled up to sre if their footwear was all right. Tbe inspection was rigid and tricky, the judges doing their best to drive the men into an error talking to them, picking imaginary crumbs off uniforms, In tEeir report the judges say: 'In their inspection, on account of, thoir rusty they scored against" -The facts nre that the cuns of the Treadways were brand new ind were inspected with the closest aprutlny before tho men entered tho.field. Scoring the Treadwajs as they: did, tho judges' report tbo following "Witbiegani to the Tredwnys, there was the solidity which characterizes the march of veteran 'troops. The Kifics made a very creditable showing in the manual until, owing to errors.m commands, many mistakes were In their 'line evolntions and in they were fully equal.

If not superiors to ony on Beld. It is to Ufl noted that there wero certain omissions and n. number of extra movements In platoon movements the Troadwaya showed 'hemselves notably superior to other orcnniiations, nlthoagb; the employment of extra movements was a disadvantage to them. One very conspienous feature of thesa evolutions was the excellence and efficiency of the lieutenants." In view of these remoi-fcs the the Tredways uehind the Houston Light Guard taid tobe strikingly inconsistent The Tred- ways the best company on the fleld except for their maibuaL' which was poor, butyet not roor enough to put them behind the Houston Guard, which actually went to pieces fcur times, in the march. Tho scoring against Battery A was even more calculated tanrouse indignation.

Old artillerymen from Mobile and Galvtston, and from the North, said after they had seen the St. Louis and New Orleans sections drill against each other that it wis the finest artillery ever seen in this country, and that it was impossiolejto tell which section was tho winner, as neither made a palpnlde error. Bnt the jndges portas previously published. The Hew Orleans section were eight minutes longer drilling than Battery and then did not finish their programme. The weakest point with Battery A was their inspection.

One of tbo hoys had his blouse unbuttoned at ths throat end another had his belt on wrong. Notwithstanding this, their inspection i was scored points of perfection; this, toq, in uniforms had slept and-worked in for a. week and which wire five years old. don want to say anything," concluded the gentleman interviewed. but the ways of military judges are more inscrutable than the ways of ridence," judge Provi There were fully 4000 people on the Jlaifest grounds last night The afternoon had spent in tho indulgence of and amusements, and in listening to steatas of music furnished by the Beach hotel band.

As evening approached the crowd began swell in numbers until by 8 o'clock thtfgi-ounds were crowded with a heterogeneous mass'of humanity, all impatiently waiting for promised display.of fireworks. After an hour of waiting, a brilliant rocket ward the signal for theppening of the display, which was hailed by cheers from the small boys. It must bo confessed as compared with the pyrotechnic last last; night's undertaking fell short of its mare. Tbe designs were good, and were, in numbers, eoual to last year's, but owing, perhaps, to ex. rosure, they did not burn with the evenness that -was requisite for complete success; Notably was this the case with the deep-wator design, which, after the "first flash, became so indistinct that -it was legible.

Among the best features ware the yacht, see-saw, good luck, Saturn and his rings, ball-players and the goodnight. -The display of rockets was good.

-He did not. confess to any graat grief which might have prodnced such a result, but he professed keen regret, declaring a fear that it had added twenty years to his apparent age.
