THE NAVAL. BATTALION.
A Field Day on the Ocean House
Road-A Spirited Drill.


The three companies of the Naval Bat
talon had field day yesterday and did
some good work under Lieutenant-Com-
mander Goodall AT an early hour the
companies assembled at their respective
armories. with canteens, haversacks and
leggins, where they awaited orders from
headquarters. The staff. commissioned and
warrant officers reported to the lieutenant
commander. at 10 Market street. at A. NJ.
Each lieutenant commanding a company
sent a messenger TO headquarters for IN
stTuctions as soon as his command was
formed. The orders sent out were for all
to concentrate in field near the House of
Correction. The companies were speedily
on the way, seeking transportation by tie
electric cars TO the Ocean House ROAD:
Owing to the presence OF holiday traVel
there was some delay in securing accom-
mediation and II WAS II O'Clock before the
battalion was formed.
The young men were on their mettle. ana
eager 10 prove their quality for endurance.
Lieutenant Commander GoO6all was able 10
satisfy Them He moved his column at
swift gait over the hills to the Ocean House
road, where he put his men through Sc
RES of maneuvers which started the per-
spiratlon from every pore. They had but
few spectators, save the dairymen in the VI
ciDity. SO the battalion had free range OF
a wide extent Of sand hills. They marched
in line of battle and in column, depl0yed ms
sklrmlshers, moved BIZ the flank. struck
brisk tr0t in platoons and sections, attacked
an imaginary foe from all directions, fell
back upon their reserves and executed all
the tirings prescribed in the manual
more tired set of men IL would have
been difficult to find when the parade was
dismissed. but all felt that they had been
put through a schooling that was good for
them. At 2 o'clock the boys returned to
town with serene confidence that they
were equal TO any patriotic emergency which
might be imposed on them in time OF war.
Lieutenant Commander G0odall after the
drill expressed himself highly pleased with
the conduct of the men, and he c0mpll-
mented all the junior officers upon the dis
cipline which they had maintained.

The Southern Pacific cannot allow this
condition of affairs TO last long. Railroad
men say that at an approaching meeting of
railroad men an effort will be made to equal
izs rates into California, and the most
likely method is that the Southern Pacific
and other roads will meet the rates of the
northern lines. If this is done Ii will be a
refuation of the theory set up by the rail-
roads in the State that the rates have been
as low as the roads could afford to make
them on through business. While this con-
