The weather so far this week' :iu, been very fine bu tl:e regular work lias been interfered with somewhat by the mustering in of the Fifty-second and the physical examination of the men of the First and Third.Hut little of general Interest has hufHtOJtcd during the past week, and time has dragged slowly along. Two events, however, broke the monotonous routine somewhat. The first of these was the living flag exhibition on Frlduv afternoon. This was certainty an inspiring and patriotic sight !« consisted of J20O school cl,iWren dressed in red. white and blue and s. arranged on r. rni-cd platform as to represent the rolors of the flag. At a prearranged signal the children waved hnmlkcichicfs of tlx, same color as their dresses in the air, and instantly the whole became a moving and living representation of the starry ensign of the free .“ The four regiments were marched by in roview and as they passed by tlie grand stand in company front, in superb order, cheer on cheer rent the air from the throuts of thousands who witnessed the inspiring pageant. Old vclernns who were present said they had never seen a liner review. Each company moved in perfect alignment and every foot touched the ground in |erfect timo with the music.Saturday morning the Fiftieth regiment broke ramp during a boavy rain11 nd marched to the station and took the train for Tampa Florida—;frora which place they pro expected to become a part of (he army for the invasion of Cuba. For the timo boing the boys forgot their rollicking, careless ways and were sobered by the contemplation of what tlic futureI..i« i have In store for I Dorn.

However, by morning enough men had been ox-uuiinvd and the to-tor of the company completed, so that all was in readiness by the appointed time.It has been definitely decided that tlie Fifty-second regiment will leaveComp McKinley not later than Saturday. and per Imp* the order to move may come sooner. Just where it will move to is hard to say, but in pH probability will go to Clilckamaugui. Tuesday the rumor was started that it was the Phillplnc Inlands but to far no order has cone to change the previous assignment of the r -g-nionl. Still it may cmr.o at the Iasi minute ami the destination be changed.Uumpany K NotesThe boys of Company K nro getting along very nkely and enjoying very good health. The measles arc still with them, however, for Sunday Private IkJniond, of Whiltenw-e, Came down with them. Ho is getting along nicely and will be able to be with the company in n few uaja. Murk Ilcfley and Sergeant H. C. Armstrong were indisposed for a couple of days with severe colds; but aside from these cases the boys have all been able for their regular rations three times a day.The boya of company K came out of the physical examination in fine shape. Out of seventy-six examined only six failed to pass on the final examination. These were J. L. JJun-cun and S. It. Stcdman of Emmetr.-hurg, on account or cye-sight. F. A-I’ricn of Ruthven. Harry Soper of Estbervillo and a couple of fallows by tho names of Oitcnon and Bend-o-r Clifford Martin, of West Uend was also turned down because Jie lacked a few pounds in weight.Tho examining surgeons paid (hill y. quite a compliment.
