SAYING GOOD-BYE.
CLOSING SCENES OF THE CAMP.
Finale of the Encampment—Award-
ing the Prizes—Departure
of the Blueeoats.
Saturday afternoon witnessed the
wind-up at the encampment and by
this time the boys are all now'at home
pursuing their usual avocations but it
is safe to say that the encampment
will remain in memory for some time
and will furnish material for interest-
ing conversation with the young sol-
diers’ best girls especially to those
who received one of the prizes offered.
The individual contest for medals
to be awarded with first and second
best drilled soldiers was after a long
contest decided for J. A. Flaherty
first sergeant of the Fort Worth Fen-
clbles for the first prize and F. A.
Flack a private in the Lee Guards
for second with G. W. Abercrombie
of the Fenciblesthird. One who stood
a good show of securing one of the
prizes was Private Ben Dabney of the
Fannin Guards a lad 15 years of age
who stood fifth in rank and from the
length of the contest he had to give
up from sheer exhaustion turning
down the experts of the Belknaps and
Houston Light Guards.
At sp. m. there was a regimental
dress parade on the ground just in
front of division headquarters after
which the men were marched into
the drill grounds and halted. The
officers were marched in line and
conducted up to a point in front of
the grand stand where General Stan-
ley General Roberts and other nota-
bles were gathered. Gen. Stanley in
fitting terms gave to Colonel Smyth
the representative of Captain Reich-
ardt of the Houston Light Guards
the sword awarded by the Houston
Post to the most popular officer in the
T. V. G.
To Colonel Smythe was awarded the
medal for the regimental commander
best posted in tactics and to Colonel
Houston of the Fourth was awarded
the medal for the command which
showed the best methods of organiza-
tion; to Adjutant Call of the First
regiment was awarded the medal for
the adjutant who reported most
promptly his detail for guard mount
and to the Fannin Guards was award-
ed the flag ottered by the ladies of San
Antonio for the best kept and policed
camp.
After these ceremonies were over
the Twenty-third Infantry treated
the spectators with the spectacle of
an exhibition skirmish drill. The
usual dress parade was omitted aud
the boys began active preparations
for departure aud by 11 p. m. the
greater part of the men had departed
and Sunday morning the regulars in
camp moved back to the post.

Electric Light Improvement.
The San Antonio Gas aud Electric
Light company are making great im-
provements in their establishment

a new two-story brick addition to

have recently advanced to the front by the valuable changes and improvements adopted
which add much to the quality and volume of tone and place the Emerson Pianos in the
lead of all rivals.
This is the opinion of all competent and unprejudiced critics who have examined the
improvements and know their value.
