had subsided.
To make the exhibition all the
more thrilling, those boys and girls,
under the direction of Miss Pratt,
who has charge of the music, then
sang "The Star Spangler Banner,"
while the band played the accom
paniment. It was the grandest exhibition that
has ever been given In Qulncy, and
was not completed until fifteen min

rush for the street cars, although
several hundred remained to see the

The Journal also has the following
to say about the Webster school field
meet: "Otto A. Wurl, physical di
rector of the public schools, was the
starter and referee, and it was be
cause of his energy in looking after
the training of the boys and girls in
his charge that the ueet was so suc
cessful. The grand stand was filled
with boys and girls and their fath
ers and mothers. George Osgood
estimating that 3,000 people were
there. And every one of them had
their favorites, ana the way they
cheered the losers as well as the
winners was a caution. The specta
cle was a thrilling one, which was
enjoyed alike by old and young."

Drills by Pupib of the Public Schools at Splendid Exhibition at
Quincy, Illinois Recently
From the Quincy Journal of Sat
urday, June 4, the following account
of a grand exhibition of drilling
made by the pupils of several of the
grades of the city schools, is taken.
This fine drill was under the direc
tion of Otto A. Wurl, formerly of
this city, and it was a splendid trib
ute to his masterly skill in direct
ing such exhibitions. Ills many good
friends in the city will be pleased
to note the praise accorded him and
know it is quite deserved as he is
without doubt, one of the ablest drill
masters and athletic instructors i
the country. The article is rather
extended but it repays reading:
Nearly one thousand boys and girls
of the fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth
grades of the public schools of Quin
cy, moving with military precision on
the base ball grounds In front of the
grand stand at Baldwin park yester
day, brought forth lflsty cheers from
the school children, and prolonged
applause from men and women, who
thronged the grand stand and open
space in front of the pavilion.
The aesthetic exercises and steps
and the mass exercises followed the
relay potato races, and notwith
standing that nearly all of the spec
tators were shivering with the cold
at first, when thelittle girls, dressed
in white, with blue ribbon bows In
their hair, rushed pell mell across
the race track and into the field to
form In line, then It was that the old
folks forgot all about how cold It
was.
The official title of this feature of
the afternoon's exercises were called
on the program "An Afternoon Tea."
After they had been lined up in
fours, five divisions, each division
marched to the north side of the
base ball diamond, while the Fifth
regiment band played a lively tune.
Prof. Steiner looked after one dl-.
vision, Prof. Hlnton helped keep an
other division in line, while Misses
Ahem and Balthrope marched at the
head of two other divisions. Prof.
Wurl was here and there and every
where, for it was due to what he has
done that the grand spectacle of
yesterday was possible. In this work
the teachers at the various schools
co-operated with htm.
After the children Had been given
their final Instructions, Director
Wurl climbed on an elevated plat
form at the north edge of the race
course, where all the children could
see him. He waved his hands a
couple of times and the band com
menced to play. Another motion of
the hand and 500 little girls, all dres
sed alike, held their hands high
above their heads. When the direc
tor extended his hands forward the
little girls, all at the same time, did
the same thing. The children had
no eyes for anyone except the man
on the platform, and they did what
ever he directed, never mis-Interpret
ing his signals. Salisthenic exer
cises were gone through with so pre
cisely, sidestepping, arm and leg
movements were so cleverly and
beautifully executed that veteran
guardsmen who know the manual
of arms by heart, took off their hats
and cheered the little girls until
their throats were sore. Seldom has

Work on Chicago Avenue has been

ing commenced to come in. One
car load of the big tiling and the
small tiling reached here this morn
ing and it will be unloaded this after
noon, so that on Monday morning
work can be started putting it in
place. The contractor, F. M. Richey
has had a groat deal of trouble in
getting this material, as the tile mak
ing plants of the country are over
run with orders and are way behind
In filling them. However, the utmost
efforts were put forth and from dif
ferent sources the material was ship
ped In. This puts the city In a posi
tion to push the work now and In
sures an early completion of the
task. The tiling Is being laid In the
creek bed and with the arrival of the
last shipment there is no doubt this
part of the work will eooh be done

saw in any city can compare to the
one the little girls of the fifth, sixth

yesterday, while the chilling winds
were well nigh unbearable. Five

They are a credit to their parents

them, but of the man who drilled
them.

the girls was inspiring, the mass free

This required considerable ; city on the Journal and News, had
time, but after it was done the teach- i,een verjr badly burned about the
ers and the physical director knew
by the manner in which the crowd
cheered that their labors were cer
tainly appreciated. When the band
commenced to play what circus fol
lowers call the "Grand Entree," the
various columns commenced to move.
There were as many boys and girls in
line as there are men in a regiment
of real soldiers. It Is a safe hazard
that the soldiers would not have at
tracted as much attention as the
little folks did, nor would they have
kept more perfect time to the march
the band was playing. , ,
The little ones were restless, once
the various companies were halted
on what college boys would call the
campus, where the girls had given
their exhibition. Finally Director
Wurl, assisted by the principal and
teachers of the various schools, com
pleted the formation, then came the
drills. And the way tl. t the pro

that he was getting results from the
youngsters. The boys and girls for

they proceeded to put into execution

REPAIRS AT TIE
nrai depot
Necessary Improvements That
Will Add to Appearance of
the Structure.
The Burlington depot is receiving
the attention of a masonry and car
penter crew, the floor In tho baggage
room having been torn out and the
space below it which was several
feet in depth being filled in with,
sand preparatory to laying a floor
of brick. Tho old floor was of wool
and had rotted out In a number ot
places. The new one will be more
substantial in a number of places,
and look a great deal better. What
the Burlington really ought to do la
to tear down the entire structure and
build a depot more in keeping with
the business which Is being done out
of this city. As a rule the waiting
rooms are entirely too small to con
tain the crowd ot people traveling In
and out of the city, especially that
for the ladies. For the comfort ot
the passengers on the road, larger
waiting rooms with many more Bet
tees and scats should be provided
as at present about one-third or one
half the passengers are compelled to
stand up and are crowded together
until the room Is' suffocatingly full
ot people at times. This condition,
especially applies to the ladles wait
Ing rooms. Another convenience-
which Is sadly lacking about the
depot Is the lack of toilet facilities.
There la no lavatory, something that
every depot should be provided with,
and one Binall closet constitutes the
only attempt at providing necessities
of this kind. Another thing badly
needed is some efficient means ot
warming tho building In winter time. ,
A heating plant under the building
would be the one thing needed and
would actually be an economy which,
tho road could well afford. In ad
dition to these vital necessities which
are needed, the office room for the
agent' and his employes Is very small
and crowded and should be enlarged
and remodeled so as to make it more
convenient. A great saving in time
and money would be effected by this
change. Altogether there are very
many arguments which can bo urged
for the building of a new structure
and it has been suggested the com
mercial club could help a little by
urging this matter upon the railroad
officials.
