Woodley, of the junior department, were by common consent elected to decide all disputes that arose among the cadets; and such was the cadets' great admiration and respect for their high character and judgment that all readily acquiesced in their decisions.

Ensign Luck invited the company to the Columbian Hotel, to partake of a collation, which was hailed as a lucky omen of future prosperity, and accepted Newlon.

On their way back to the Armory, the Blues were saluted with a fine display of fireworks, by one of their old members, A. Antoni. The present officers of the Blues are — O. J. Wise, Captain. J. A.
