Brian, of Company- A. flying, the cadets marched by platoons up to the pavilion, where they opened taks and permitted the governor and staff to pass through. The scene along the line march was a most animated one; the bright uniforms of the governor's military staff and manly bearing of the' cadets as they marched along being enough to inspire military ardor In any breast. The line of inarch was crowded with spectators. On reaching the pavilion Governor Foster and staff ascended the rostrum, where they were greeted by a large and fashionable audience.

The ceremonies which followed consisted In a contest in oratory for the Lee medal. This medal was founded bv Major J. G. Lee. of Calhoun, and Is awarded annually to that cadet who shall excel In oratory.

Mr. Overton's subject was a supposed Speech of Patrick Henry before the Virginia convention. It was distinguished Eteptaln S. M.

D. Clark, of Company It. by force and clearness of diction, and was delivered with the grace and style of the true orator; Indeed the young speaker disclosed oratorical talent of a high order, which, only needs to be cultivated to render him a speaker of dis tinction. it ne applause tnat greeted him at the ckx. test! tied to his popularity.

After raaJIc, rendered by the cadet band, Cadet J. A. Roane, ot Lin cola par ish, was Introduced, his subject being "A Plea for Cuba."

Cadet E. F. Gayle. of Polnte Coupee, was the last contestant, having chosen as bis subject. "A Plea for the Laboring Man." He drew vivid pictures of the distress ant misery In which a large proportion of the laboring class pass their lives, drew attention to the adverse influences against which they and made a strong plea for the amelioration of their condition.

His effort was marked bv much originality of thought, and was delivered in a graceful and easy style, which mot with due appreciation on the part of the audience. While the Judges were preparing their award. Major F. P. Stubbs, one of the judges of vesterdny's competitive drill, was introduced for the purpose of announcing thir decision.

As the greatest rivalry exists between the different cumpaiiies for the distinction of being pronounced the best drilled companv, the cadet corps awaited the nnnouni'emeut In suspense and when it was made a mighty shout went up from the friends of the victorious company, which was generally participated in by their competitors. Major Stubbs said that the committee recognized in yesterday's drill a splendid exhibition of military skill, the performance of each company being creditable in the extreme. But in all contests there must be degrees of perfection and the committee had seen tit to award the first prize to Company of which Cadet Prescott Is captain. The other companies were named In the foN lowing order: Company Company and Company A. Bv this time the three Judges of the oratorical contest were ready to announce their award for the Lee medal and Professor W.

H. Goodale was introduced for this purpose. Professor Goodale said, that while the effort of each contestant was characterized by a high order of merit, the committee had cast but one ballot and that resulted unanimously In favor of Cadet Overton.

the audience was dismissed with bendictlon by Rev. Robert Stewart. "The dress parade and Dattalllon and skirmish drill took place at 5 o'clock this evening on the University campus. A shower of rain fell at :5 o'clock and It looked at one time as If It would storm, hut fortunately the clouds passed by and the only effect of the shower was to render the atmosphere delightfully cool. The sklrinish drill usually attracts a large crowd, but never was the attendance on these occasions larger than this evening.

At o'clock Governor Murphy J. Foster, surrounded by his staff, by Generals Euclid Borland and John tJlynn. and staff, and Major Hess, of the t'nitod States army, in full uniform, reviewed the cadet corps. The battalion drill then followed, succeeded, in turn, by the skirmish drill. It Is hardly necessary to say that these drills were executed In an almost perfect manner, and the stalwart young cadets presented a handsome appearance as they went through the evolutions.

The skirmish drill was an exciting feature and was executed in such a way as to arouse the entnusiasm 01 ti-e spectators. At 8 o'clock to-night the contest in declamation for the Jones medal took place in the pavillion, and at o'clock the. banquet to the visiting military, at the Mayer Hotel, was held.

Aloysius Commercial Institute took place yesterday in the spacious assembly ball of the institution, corner of Esplanade and North Rampart streets. This excellent institution is under the able direction of the Brothers of the Sacred Heart. The high standard which the college has reached Is due to the able and intelligent efforts of Rev. Brother JuBtln, president of the institution, and the learned faculty wh'ch aids In Its Improvement and advancement. A fact which attests the superior advantages of training offered In the Institution Is that at the Columbian exposition the college received a special award for its exhibit of the work of its pupils.

At the close of last week the department of awards at Washington sent the institution -the certificate of awards granted for its highly creditable and interesting exhibit. The college closed properly on the 20th of June, but owing to the delay in the arrival of the steamer bearing the French premiums, the distribution of prizes did not take place until yesterday. Unlike other institutions, St. Aloysius Institute never has any commencement programme of dramas and declamations, preferring that the pupils should employ the time so used in study and review. The boys nave just finished a r'gld examination and received prizes according to the average per cent each scored.

They were a bright and manly-lookiug set that gathered in the large and airy schoolrooms yesterday. Their faces lit up with pleasurable excitement as Brother Justin arose and eloquently addressed them upon the Hue of college work they had Just completed and laid out the course of fnture study. He complimented the boys on their earnest efforts and success, and paid a tribute to that education of which religion is the handmaid.

Captain Gus C. MeUsonnier, manager of the ADchor Line Steamboat Company, arrived lu the city yesterday. To a reporter Captain Mcissonnier talked with considerable interest ou the' growth of the river trade. The Anchor Line, he said, was now running eltcht bouts and they were all kept busy. 1wo boats each week run from St.

Ivouls to New Orleans, and the intermediate trade has been developed rapidly during the past few months. The gentleman stated that he believed that the business of his coicpany had increased fully :00 per cent. He said that the tactics of the railroads had been adopted and men were sent out to get business when there was none for the boats to do. Heretofore the railroads have been gobbling tip all the tributary trade, but now, with energetic men to hustle for lis brsiuess, his boats were getting tli Mr share of the traffic The time is p.isr, he said, when a boat merely had run up and down the river. The people expect to be approached for their business, and Ao not like to stack up their freight on the levee and take their time about waiting for a steamboat whistle, as they ssed to do.

The Anchor Line wiH construct some boats to run in the dry season, when the water is low. They will be long and wide and shallow, that the lack of depth in the river will be met In this way. This has been another drawback to the river trade. Business has been diverted ou account of the inability of the big steamers to run in the dry season, no provision having been made in the past for the use of light-draft vessels to do the work. With abundant crops in the west and a growing appreciation of the value of water treislits.

Captain Meissonnier confidently expects that the future trade will even exceed his expectations. For dyspepsia, colio and exhaustion, no remedy like Cinger Ionic. Hinderoorns, the best cure for corns. 15cts REAL ESTATE. Transfers Recorded Yesterday.
