Competitive Examination for the
appointment to the Naval Ca
detship.

The examination of applicants for the Ca
detship at Annapolis, came off last Saturday,
at Bellaire. Examining Committee consisted
of Messrs. Buchanan, of Steubenville; Robb,
of Cadiz; McBurney, of Cambridge; Burns,
of St. Clairsville.
Applicants were-S. r. Clark, Henry Nc
Cleary, Lewis NJ. Smith, Will j. Mccoy, o.
E. Holloway, Will H. Baker, G. w. Gill, Ed.
L. Mahon, B. w. Viers, ]. T. Binley, Frank
McKim, E. E. Capehart, Walter p Griffith,
John ClaylBnd, Lafayette Hatcher, w. Nc
MILAN, John Baker.
Several Of the boys lacked the required
number of inches from sole to crown-so
they were counted out. Two or thr. others
seemed to be out of heart with their forenoon
MSS, and didn't re-appear after dinner. Of
the others, from the summing of results at
the close, Capehart stood first; and hence, re-
ceived the recommendation of the Committee.
Close behind came Viers, Griffith, Mcmillan,
Hatcher, and, allowing for age, Holloway
and Mccoy.
We hope Capehart will be admitted, and be
u credit to the District and to Mr. Danford;
and if he does not, one of the others will be
more successful. The successful boy is a son
of DIR. Capehart, of Martins Ferry. We
hope that he will stand the test at the exami-
nation at the Academy In June.
