the Tacoma idea Of doing away with the en-
campment, and using thu funds that should Be
devoted to that purpose to send q representa-
ton to the Worlds fair. There has been no en-
campment for two years, and the men are badly
In need OF the experience and discipline of the
actual camp. Some of the Officers even 60 so
far rs to say that the com panies would make
q poor show at Chicago without the experience
that camp life for the prescribed period would
give. 1t lis the universal hope that the governor
Will, In issuing his proclamation, do so early so
as TO give the members of the guard time to
make due and ample arrangements to attend.
The majority OF the men in this city favor as the
time the days Immediately following the Fourth
OF July. The prize drill matter has not been
settled. There was to have been Q conference
held an Thurday night at the Chamber of
Commerce between the citizens committee and
the captains Of the three Seattle companies.
Through some Misunderstanding the citizens
were not present, but the military men were out
In full force. It seems to be the sentiment of
the citizens committee that the fund cannot be
devoted Tor any other purpose than that for
which 1t was originally collected, namely, for q
prize drill. The officers are willing to have
the drill, and think that good date
would be July 4. 1t has been also
suggested that 1t would be q good plan to
divide the money and have three prizes. There
would be no objection If the winning companies
so desired to use the money won for the nucleus
for Haines' monument fund. The new regula-
lions have been universally read and favorably
commented on. They contain set of bylaws
for adoption by the various companies, and the
three Seattle companies will consider them at
their next meeting

All were clever. The girls in the chorus
were not remarkably beautiful, but If they
had been they would have furnished
IN exception too glowing for this remarkable
age in theatrical matters At Cordray's this last
week "Beacon Lights" was the attraction, and it
can truthfully be said that no finer scenery has

acting Of the members of the company was also
up to the mark. The play at Cordray's this
week will be the society drama, Lied Estray."
