Lawson inspected the regiment in the morning with satisfactory results.

It was one of the finest ceremonies of its kind ever performed at Camp Lincoln. Company of Decatur, headed by the regimental band, bore the colors across the field, in front of the long line of troops. Not a blunder was made during the whole ceremony.

Just before the troops left the grounds the officers advanced to the colonel to receive instructions, Col. Lawson, the United States Army Inspector, who was among the multitude of spectators, was sent for. He walked across to the line of officers and took place before the colonel. Col. Barkley, in a few well chosen words, thanked him, on behalf of the Fifth regiment, for his valuable services.

Co). Lawson appropriately replied. Then Chaplain O. Post stepped with a sword in his hand.began talking to Capt George M. Skelly, inspector of rifle practice.

The outcome of it was that, after an elegant speech, he presented the sword to Capt. Skelly as a mark of esteem from his fellow officers. Capt. Skelly was taken completely by surprise, but expressed his thanks for the sword and his appreciation of the honor. Capt Frank P.

wa. it? W. The people who laoilwd at the clown. Many new people attended Wallace's circus at the afternoon and evening performances at the baseball park yesterday, and the clowns' efforts at drollery did not go unrewarded. As 'to the circus, it was well attended and the many spectators were well satisfied.

There were few new features in the programme but nearly every act was fully as good as any ever seen under Barnum's or Forepaugh's tents. The riding was especially good and the aerial act of the Fisher Brothers was extremely daring and thrilling. The menagerie is small, but it contains an interesting collection of rare beasts. The performance was decidedly clean and the management and employes were courteous and polite. It should be stated, however, that this show has a very gang of followers, who.

ply their avooatim of picking pockets play ing the shell racket, and other con fames with. impunity. The man- agemMatwa hardly be ignorant of this fact, sharper had set up a stand and was working the shell game for the edification of greenhorns right at entrance of main tent inside performance was over, and it is highly probable that a goodly number of suckers laid down their hard- earned money to testify iheir confidence in their ability to "tell which shell the little ball was under."
