DEB NEUENHEIMEB.

said there was one thing that must not be forgotten,
and that was, that a great deal of the success in the
smart appearance was due to Mrs. Armitage, who had
so kindly selected the colour and pattern (grey and
silver) of the uniform of the corps. The name of that
lad}7 would, therefore, always be connected with the
success of the only English Cadet Corps on the Con-
tinent.
In the afternoon the corps was inspected by Colonel
Stainforth (late Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers). The
Inspecting Officer was received with a general salute.
After marching past in quick and double time, the three
companies were put through a number of field move-
ments, which were performed in a really very smart
manner, the proceedings terminating with an advance
in review order. Colonel Stainforth, in addressing the
corps, said, considering the short time the corps had
been formed, their smart and soldierlike appearance on
parade reflected the greatest credit upon themselves
and their instructors; to keep up the good name they
already had, they must pay strict attention to all orders,
and to be exact and particular in the way in which they
appeared on parade. A large number of English and
German residents and visitors were invited to witness
the parade, and were afterwards entertained at tea by
the corps. Captain Armitage and Sergt.-Major Puttock
were warmly congratulated by many of the visitors
on the efficiency displaj'ed.
The corps consist of two companies. No. 1 is the
Senior Company, composed of pupils of 16 years of age
and upwards; No. 2, or Junior Company, age from 12
to 16. Each company parades for drill every alternate
day, "for one and a-half hour's drill:" a general
parade being held once a week. A large drill hall is
being fitted up, so that drill can go on through the
winter. Messrs. Ogg, Mackinnon, Lucas and Ed-
wardes have been appointed corporals.
We print in another column a very interesting
account of a corps of cadets which has been formed
at an English college near Heidelberg. The pupils
of the college are all, it would seem, intended for
