The Zouave Drill at the Wigwam.

The United States Zuave Cadets gave one of their admirable and much admired drills at the wigwam this evening. Tickets free to all applicants for the same.

This drill is given at the request of the Citizens for the entertainment of the strangers from abroad. Those who received invitations to the last drill of the Cadets, as but few of them saw the drill, are again invited, the gallery being reserved from them. No gentleman will be admitted to the gallery unless accompanied by ladies. The Balance of the Hall will be reserved for strangers from abroad, who can obtain tickets at the different hotels. Such of our citizens as have friends from abroad stopping with them can obtain tickets by application at the Cadet’s Hall, corner of Randolph and State streets, or at this office.
