LOSSES SrsrAINrn-

The work Of entertaining the Lancers started
of yesterday Immediately upon their
arrival and was kept up until late in the
evening. The visitors were given a hearty
welcome at the station by the National Rifles
and escorted to the armory on G street. Here
two sad losses were discovered. One whole
captain and a portion of another found to
be absent. Capt A. ID. Nichols of the Lancers
had fully expected to be with his command
during the visit, but at the last moment was

In fact, the members OF the Rifles have made
the entertainment of the visitors their present
business. and when the members OF the Ma
tional Rifles make ANYTHING their present bust
ness it behooves ordinary individuals whose
energy consists of the usual bone and muscle
energy to stand from under and watch the per-
Torrance. Today the Lancers, in company
with an especial detail of the home company
picked for their good looks and entertaining
ways, have been driving around the city in
carriages and gazing with pleasure, if not in
awe struck amazement, at the various
points of interest At II O'Clock the two
commands were driven to the White
House, where the President extended a
very pleasant and cordial little reception.
At the close of the White House ceremonies
the party drove out TO Soldiers Home and in
spected the grounds and buildings returning
by way of the Schuetzen Park. where a hand
some lunch was served. The party returned to
the city late in the afternoon and this evening
will sit down TO banquet at the Rifles

The command of the Lancers therefore de-

that says ''fours right SO that the last mar in

sort This is the kind of voice Captain Oyster
used to possess and he was proud Of it, and his
command was proud of it. A few days ago
however. Captain Oyster caught cold, and it
struck in on his voice. 1t struck in deep. too.
and yesterday Captain Oyster did not give any
commands and did not make a speech. Lieut.
Manson said forward march," halt" &C..
