West Point aspirants will report at the High School, and those for Annapolis at the Central Grammar School. "Now, at eight o'clock this evening you return here.

I can't walk straight, and my head spins round like a top," pleaded Lynch. "Dry up. Starch your back-bone. Here comes a lot of the fellows."
