The M = adiwcroft brothers wore proprietors

The military tournament which was
t tie Ci-liSJUtii last evening uniler the aus-
Icoj of the Thurston Rifles was n tremcndoui
uccoss. The object of the entertainment was
o provide the necessary funds to take the
titles to the national encampment nt Mem-
hla , and , as nearly G.OOO people congregated
t the Coliseum to wltnws the strife of rival
ompanlcs , the financial features of the affair
vero Immensely satisfactory. And If any one
a'led ' to get his money's worth ho will never
o satisfied In this world. The whole evening
was devoted to drills of various companies
nd In various tactics , nnd It was nearly
mllnlKht before the last decision was awarded
nd the floor surrendcrpJ to the dancers , who
leld possession until the early morning.
The tournament was preceded by a street
larado , In which all the competing and vlslt-
ng organizations participated. The line ot
narch was taken ut ) at Fifteenth and Doug-
as fltreets at 7:30 : o'clock , with about 600
inlformcd men In lino. They were headed by
a platoon of police and the First Infantry
and , followed by a carriage , In which rode
lev. S. Wright Butler , chaplain of the limes.
The four battalllons of the High school cadets ,
commanded by Lieutenant Julius Pcnn of the
Second Infantry , followed , and behind them
.he Council Bluffs cadets , with thirty men In
Inc. They preceded the Thurston Rifles , who
uoro followed by the Modern Woodmen ,
iCnlghts of Pythias , Ancient Order ot United
Workmen , Grand Army of the Republic ,
Omaha Guards and the Omaha Guards galling
gun section In the order named. The
Knights of Pythias had nearly 100 men of the
Uniform rank In line under Colonel A. L.
Lott. These comprised the Second regiment
of Omaha , Including Lily division of South
Omaha and the Council Bluffs division. Two
camps of Modern Woodmen and ono ledge of
United Workmen constituted the representa
tion from those orders.
The line of march was on Fifteenth street
south to Farnam , on Farnam to Sixteenth , on
Sixteenth to Cumlng , on Cuming to Twenti
eth , nnd on Twentieth to the Coliseum. The
parade was In charge of Lieutenant F. T. Van
Llew , Second Infantry , who had as mounted
nlde.3 Ccrpotal H. I ) . Taylor anil Musician
Hoffman of the Thurston Rifles.
MANY THERE TO SEE THEM.
On their arrival at the Coliseum the sol
diers received a thunderous greeting from
the crowd that taxed the seating capacity of
the building , and as the long lines tiled Into
the parade ground In the center they pre
sented n spectacle that was calculated to
excite the enthusiasm of even a more criti
cal audience. The Rifles wore for the first
time their new trousers nnd caps nnd their
neat blue attire , while the more gorgeous
equipments of the Guards , the showy uni
forms nnd red plumes of the Knights of
PytHas and the more novel costumes of the
other orders , united to furnish an exhlllarat-
Ing display of military grandeur. But
an eng them all the simple gray uniforms of
the cadets seemed to be favorites. For this
was their first drill and they were to furnish
the principal part of the evening's entertain
ment. While the senior organizations were
to exhibit themselves merely as a matter of
entertainment , the event was ot momentous
importance to Lieuteant Penn's youngsters ,
for to the battalion that acquitted Itself most
creditably would belong the honor of carryIng -
Ing the new silk flag for the next year , and
the reserved seats were populated with a
der.se throng of anxious parents , who cheered
their loudest to encourage the boys to their
bravest efforts.
The drilling was Inaugurated by n short
drill by a squad of veterans of 1861 , who
revived the old Casey manual and rammed
down Imaginary charges as they did before
repeating 11 lies had a place In military tac
tics.
tics.Then
Then the Council Bluffs cadets , under Cap
tain Blanchard gave a brilliant exhibition ,
which was cheered to the echo by a crowd
of several hundred Council Bluffs people who
had exclusive possession of a largo territory
of reserved seats. The "High school boys"
from over the river are a clo/.eu sizes larger
than the Omaha cadets and most ot them
graduated n decade ago , but they made a
creditable showing and rccivcd a full share ol
the honors of the evening.
The drill by the Ancient Order of United
Workmen degree team , under Captain Otis ,
was a pleasant divergence from the regular
military drill and n very pretty performance.
It was given entirely without spoken orders
and Its closing feature was the formation ol
the Initials of the order without Interruption
of the march.
IUFLES DRILLED WELL.
The Hides only occupied ten minutes In
their exhibition drill , but It was long enough
to give the Impression that they would be
formidable competitors in the tournaments
at Memphis. Their constant practice has
added materially to their proficiency and as
they marched and. countermarched In per
fect time and alignment the most critical
observer could scarcely pick n flaw in thclt
performance.
The artillery drill of the Omaha Guard :
Galling gun section was an enjoyable varia
tion from the Infantry tactics and the rapid
ity with which the men manipulated theli
weapon was an evidence of many an hour ol
arduous labor. They will also go to Memphis
and may be expected to give a good accounl
of themselves at the WK encampment.
The great event of the evening was the
competitive drill between the four battalions
of High school cadets which followed. Each
battalion was put through the manual separ
ately and all acqullted themselves with ex
ceptional credit. They were remarkably
evenly balanced , less than two points being
the difference in the markings ot the wlnnet
and the lowest. The judges , were Adjutanl
W. M Wright and Lieutenants McArthui
and Wells ot the Second Infantry , whose
markings were as follows : Company A ,
Ralph Council captain , 86 3-10 ; company C
Captain Egbert , 85 5-10 ; company B , Captain
Q. R. Purvis , 85 2-10 ; company D , Captalr
S. Burns , Jr. , 84 7-10. There was some dis
appointment In the faces of the boys of the
i other battalions when the decision was an-
i nounced , but they manfully smothered II
> and united In carrying off Captain Conncl !
and his victorious company on theli
shoulders , whllo the High school yell rang
right lustily In honor of their triumph.
} FOR THE THURSTON TROPHY.
f The last event was the competitive drll
o between the members of the Thuraton Rlflei
for the Thurston trophy , which is to beconu
the property of the member who IB success
ful enough to win It In three successlv <
t tournaments. This Is an elegant solid golc
badge , which was presented by Senatoi
Tburston , and there was an animated rlvalrj
among the Rifles for Its possession. Thirty
men Jell Into line at the bugle call , but In
flvo minutes Mirutunant Wright nnd his as
sistant JudgeMil weeded them down to a
dozen. Then , , as first one nnd then another
dropped out frfp Jlitcrest grew Intense. The
slightest delay , $ obeying nn order or the
most InslgnluvaiidcIrregularity In the polso
of a bayonet or.ilhor movement of n hand , was
sufllclent to end the hopes of every aspirant ,
and ono by ol\5. they fell before the sharp
scrutiny of tnc judges. Finally only two
wcro left , Corp'oraF Frank Vincent and Pri
vate Forgan. For1 fully flvo minutes orders
were shouted InVapld succession , nnd neither
man failed by so- ' much as the movement of
a finger. A quit-Id ) spoken command caught
lie private off-tils guard. Ills musket failed
: o reach the nxact position , nnd Corporal
Vincent will wear the magnificent trophy
null the next competition. The- trophy was
iresented by Colonel John C. Bates of the
3econd Infantry , who was an Interested spectator
tater of the performance. Then the band
struck up a waltz , nnd In n minute the
array of blue nml gold gave place to a whlrl-
ng kaleidoscope of feminine- forms and cos
tumes.

SAN FRANCISCO , May 3. Today's pro-
llmlnary examination In the case of Theo
dore Durrant , charged with the murder of
Blanch ? Lament In Emanucl church , was
damaging to the defendant. Some new and
startling evidence was Introduced , still fur
ther connecting Durrant with the crime
A. Oppenhelmcr , a second-hand dealer , tes
tified that between April 4 and April 10
Durranb had offered for sale a lady's diamond
mend ring. The witness was shown three
rings. He positively Identified one among
them as the one ottered by Durrant. The
ring was one of three returned to filanche
Lament's aunt , wrapped In a newspaper , the
day before Minnie Williams' body was found.
When Oppenhelmer Identified the ring Dur
rant started violently , turned pale , and ex
hibited more uneasiness than at any time
since- his arrest. The defendant's counsel
vainly tried to break down this witness'
testimony and that of thrco other witnesses
who repeated the evidence given by thotn at
the Inquest on Wednesday. These were Mar
tin Quintan , the attorney , who saw Dur
rant and a girl resembling Ulanche approach
ing Enunuel church at 4:20 : p. m. on April
4 ; David Clark , who corroborated Quintan's
statement of his whereabouts ou that day ,
and the janitor of nmanuel church , who
testified that there wcro no defects In the
gas on April 3 , and therefore no reason why
Durrant .should have b en fixing the gas
pipes at ths roof on that afternoon. The
Janitor's evidence was for the purpose of
discrediting Durrani's explanation to Organ
ist King of his appearance when ho came
down , pale , sick and weak , aa the prose
cution maintains from the belfry , where ho
had just murdered Ulanche Lnmont.
