THE ARMY AND NAVY.

The New York Herald OF Wednesday las con-
tanned aletter from West Point which stated that
"the graduating class this year numbers fOrtythree
more than last year" This Is curious blunder
The graduating class consists of thirty mine MEM
bers, TWO more than that OF last year. The same
correspondent prints the list of the class as it stood
last June, when 1t had forty members, but since
then one cadet resigned. Ignorance OF this fact led
forty, and he intended say that the class OF this
year consisted OF forty members, three more than
led to the bnnder. An alleged correspondent OF the
Army ana Macy Register of this city imposed upon
that journal by supplying the letter OF the Herald
original matter, and the Register printed the letter
without even correcting the glaring bunders alluded
to-
Gunner e. b. Magruder, Of the Navy, who has
been stationed at the Pensacola Navy Yard for the
past four years, arrived In this city yesterday, and
family and his many friends. He left in the 10 p.
NJ train last night for Newport, H. L., where he has
been ordered for service at the torpedo station. 1t
Is expected he will he ordered for duty at the WASH
ngtOn Navy Yard when he shall have completed
his duties AT Newport.
Three members of the class which viii graduate
next month at West Point received their prelim-
nary training In this city under DR.. Young, OF the
three are Cadets John G. W. Brooks, John M. Car
son, Jr., and Edward X. Gilman. Before going TO
Dr. Young, Cadet Carson graduated at the Washing
ton High School.

Oak Hill Cemetery, lat the instance of his family
through personal friendly was yesterday beauti-
fully decorated with fOwers crosses, and wreaths,
and presented fine appearance. The officers OF
the Grand Army OF the Republic paid a tribute of
respect to his memory by placing nags aud flowers
on The lot.
The second of Col. William r. CraighllI, of the
Engineer Corps OF the Army, will be among the
graduates this season at West Point, where he
stands third In his class. Cadet Craghill possesses
wonderful talent for mathematics, and as a child
was regarded by his playnates as quite prodigy in
this branch Of study.
Gen. Crook has been selected to deliver the adj
dress TO the graduating class at West Point. The
graduating exercises will begin on June and ter
inmate June is. The graduation hop will occur
on The nth. The dinner Of the graduating class will
be given on the evening OF June IS at Delmonicos,

Lomasney, who is in trainingto meet Jack
Hannifan, Of La Sale, is getting himself in
fine condition for the glove contest. He
walks four or five miles before breakfast, re-
turns and partakes of rare meat and dry
toast for breakfast. After this meal is over,
he INDUCES in another walk of from II to l6
miles, sometimes 20 miles, getting back to
his training quarters for dinner. After the
monday meal, accompanied by his trainer,
he goes to his room, strips and pounds a
sand bag for several hours. He has worked
off all superhuous flesh and is in the finest
physical condition to meet the "lmperial
city's" champion. Hannifan Is said to be
in the hands of excellent trainers at La

contest will take place week after next.

A country subscriber desires to know the
most effective method of curing a horse o.
the habit of kicking. Let him try the fol
lowing, which is strongly commended to us
as both cheap and effective: Fill an old
wheat sack with hay and suspend it by II
rope from the ceiling so that it will hang
lust at the heels of the vicious horse as he
stands in his stall. When the sack is plac.
ed in position, the horse will let fly with
both his legs as soon rs 1t touches him
After quarter of an hour of this sort OF
work he will come to the conclusion that
he is tired and that II is no use to try to
"knock it out" as the sack will return to
his heels after every kick. After an expe-
rience of this sort the animal may be hitch
ed to any sort of vehicle and he will not
kick at anything that touches his heels
Try it, Mr.. Subscriber, and report to US the
result.
