Practicins on the Monument Grounds.
The monument grounds, on the north of
the great shaft, furnish splendid opportuni-
ties for the drill teams to practice and there
were half dozen commands hard at work
this morning marching and countermarch-
ing, practicing the manual of the sword,
and IL every way aiming to secure familiar
ity with the manual laid down for the
drills. The Mystic and Hastings divisions
were early In the field, the former getting
in two drills before noon. The commanders
of the teams watched each other narrowly
in the hope of estimating the strength
which they would have to encounter. The
teams did not drill for appearances, being
clad In all sorts of garments. One team
took the field with black trousers and
cleaning white shirts uncovered by either
coats or vests. They had no hats, and
swung their rariers unhampered by super
fiuous cloth. This means business, for the
prizes are large enough to warrant the ex-
penditure of every effort, and the usually
splck-and-span knights take the field in
blazers. oyeralls and any combination of
costumes that may come easily to hand that
will not suffer from contact with the soil.
The ground In the reservation Is not alto
gether the smocthest, but II affords fairly
good parade for the teams. 1t Is the site
of the once popular resort Of Washington's
skaters, Babcoek lake, which was filled up
several years ago as a matter of precaution
when ii was feared that the constant mo-
might endanger the stability Of the monu-
ment.
The local knights are represented in this
competition by Caldwell Division, No. T.
which is not very well known in the COM
petitions. The visiting knights who have
been on the field in former years say they
do not fear the Washington team, but there
Is good deal Of quiet confidence to be OBJ
served in the demeanOr of the local sir
knights whenever the subject is mentioned
Schedule of the DriII

"wAR AND PEACE"
The Spectacle That IL to he Presented
On Labor Day.

on Labor Day.
Last week showed wonderful results In
the extensive preparations necessary for
the gigantic production of War and Peace"
by 1nnes' great New York band. As the
performance Is to be given as early as
Labor day, September 3, Mr.. Coward, the
local director. has had to devote his entire
time night and day, in planning dramatic
situations. rehearsing the chorus and gener-
ally overseeing the work Of preparation.
The chorus has already reached over 300
and as more books have been secured, Mr.
Coward has decided to admit 200 more
singers. providing they apply on or before
next rehearsal
Some little idea can be had Of the mag
niflcence of War and Peace from the fact
that, besides nnes' famous band Of sixty
the quartet of soloists from New York, and
the local chorus OF at least 400, il will re-
quire Grand Army posts. confederate camps,
District militia. auxiliary band, fife and
drum corps and bicycle relays.
To carry out these effects 1t has been
necessary to engage base ball park 7th
and Boundary, SO that there can be ample
room Tor the building Of two camps, tents
che soldiers.
The executive committee Of the Typo-
graphical Union. under whose auspices
War and Peace" will be given. have been
considerably exercised about the question
Of lighting the park for the evening per-
Torrance. The question has finally been
decided by the ordering of seventeen arc
lights. which will be placed in proper posi-
lions In the avenues. grand stand and field.
The only performance ever given In
Washington that was in any way like
War and Peace" was the allegory Of war
songs given by the Elks In Convention Hall
on the occasion Of the dedication OF that
place.
The effect on the audience was wonder
fully electrical. and veterans were seen IN
weep and cheer as the different scenes
awakened old memories. The synopsis of
War and Peace" shows greater opportun-
composition.
