The first and fifth battalions, under the
command of Lieut. Col. Clifford 8. Wal

under the command of Mai Richard A.

Line will be formed at 7:55 o'clock pm
on the north side of Pennsylvania avenue
facing south, right resting on 9Th street. "a
The line of march will be nm Pennsyl-
vania avenue to 18th street, to New York
avenue, to 14th street. thence to respee-s
tive armories. -
There will be music, of course, and the
entire line Of march will be brilliant with
fireworks. The line of march wifi be up 9Th
street to Pennsylvania avenue. thence to
18th street. then by New York avenue to
14th street, where the first battalion will
leave the line and march to its armory,
after which the march will be by New York
avenue to the L street armory. Upon
reaching the armory the members of the
rife team will be entertained. =
1t has been enormously announced that
companies not belonging to the National
Guard will participate in the parade and
error has also been made in stating that
companies may, If they so will. wear such
distinctive uniforms as they may possess.
The facts in the case are that the first
battalion has been ordered out in full
dress, and the presumption at headquar-
tiers Is that Major Suess. commanding the
fifth battalion, will have his men wear
the same garb. Other companies-to be
organized into a provisional battalion, UNI
der the command of Major O'Brien-wiu

tigue, and if the latter will wear caps

1t is expected that the last of the team

"heh DeIen0er F1nAtly PUSHED Ahead
As the New York Herald remarks: 1T
is impossible to say just when the Defender
overhauled the British boat" The Tribune
indicates that the Valkyrie was still in the
lead at o'clock, for then "she tried to
cross the bows of the Yankee sloop and
failed"
Faces frightened. and men who had look
ed respondent bra ced up when some time
later the Defender showed ahead One ac-
count puts it at 2:55 At any rate the Brit
ish boat kept to the front SO long that good
patriots were very uneasy. Even the most
enthusiastic admirers of Defender and
Capt Half, who has been to. sea In pilot
boats and steamers for nearly forty years
remarked: I'VE will be done up today, sure;
that Valkyrie is marvel in this kind of
going" - .s''''' ''''.'-''''-
The British boat led through the early
part of the race and until far out beyond
any fixed point of observation.
With an increase in wind came the De-
tenders Increase in speed. So easily did
she overhaul the challenger that more than
ore observer remarked to his neighbor
something to the effect that old Hank Half
had only been jollying his competitor all
the time. 1t was shortly before 8 o'clock
when the Defender was on even terms with
the other. Thence she 81 adually but posi-
lively forged ahead, and at 1920 1t was es-
timated that the Yankee boat was about
three lengths ahead, and we'll to windward
at that.
Both went along at pretty lively gait to
round the buoy and square away for home
AS can be. seen by the table, Defender
passed first by three minutes and twenty
three seconds-a gain of three minutes and
twenty seconds from the start.
On the run home the Identity of the
yachts could not be disclosed, owing to the
thickness, until they were close to, the
finish -
Then q storm of whistles greeted the, vic
tor. Over eight minutes later the beaten
visitor crossed and was courteously salhted
but most of the feet had joined in the pro
cession for home.

FOND MOTHERS PRATTLE.
Lively Rivalry in Singing the Praise
of Their First Born

-. of Their First Born.
They were two enthusiastic young
mothers of phenomenal first borns-hrst
borns are always phenomenal-and they
were apparently greeting each other for
the first time on a Columbia car since the
said first borns arrived, which must have
been something over a year in the back
ground of time. The first Y. NJ. remarked
that Augustus Alexander was actually
walking! Actually! 1t fairly frightened
her when she saw him let go the chair and
prance off by himself. 1t looked uncanny,
like a-well-a trolley car, or something.
The second Y. NJ. smiled sweetly and said
that her Robert Rutherford had walked at
six months! Actually; and did anybody
ever hear of such a thing before! She had
his short clothes ready to put him into at
that time, but refrained, so that his long
dresses would keep him hampered, as she
didn't want his dear little legs to get
bowed!
The first Y. M. was ready for her,
though. Her A. A. could talk! Actually
talk OF course. any one else than a moth
er would scarcely believe that so young a
child could talk, but really A. A. was max
ing such giant strides as to his ripening
Intellect that she felt almost afraid to let
him be seen in public, lest his brain burst
with the sponge-like receptiveness of Its
convolutions.
The second 7. NJ. was quite equal to the
occasion, and remarked most unconcerned-
ly that her Robert Rutherford had dis
tinctly said papa at nine months and
three days later astonished the family ply
>sician by saying "dagoo" to him, which,
we're all frightened, and sat up with Rob-
ert Rutherford all night" she continued,
land put wet cloths on his head and mus
tards on his little stomach, and he came out
all right"
IT think I will get a little book and put
down all Augustus Alexander's bright little
sayings in it." returned the first Y NJ,
somewhat subdued.
II thought I would do that" was the
quick response of the second Y. NJ, but
I am afraid it would take a private secre-
tary and a stenographer-oh. do you get
off here? So glad 1 met you. Do come
over and see Robert Rutherford Ugh, the
hateful thing, with her pimply Augustus
Alexander" she said to the elderly woman
with her, who was looking very much be-
wiidered. I'll warrant he is red-headed
and freckle-faced and it will be as much
as bargain if he ever talks so ANYBODY
can understand him. His father can't L
wasn't going to have her boast over me-
and that's why 1 told such whoppers.
Here! you, conductor! This is ou

friendly competition. Washington has al
ways won these Matches but Jersey keeps
on coming, perhaps with the hope that
some day Jersey luck may change, but GER
tain anyhow that whether 1t changes or.
not the trip will be altogether pleasant.
No definite arrangements have been made
as yet, but the invasion is quite likely to
take place, in which event the District
National Guard will see to it that the Wis
itors do not suffer. either from hunger
or thirst. while they are in the District Of

WashfrgtOnians Invited to Savannah.
Georgia wants the District team TO make

next Last year a team from Jersey made
the trip and enjoyed itself hugely, al
though, as is customary with Jersey teams,
they lost the match. Next February-on
Washington's birthday-the Georgians
would like to have a triangular match,
and 1t is one Of the possibilities that they
may be accommodated. Just how the
OF the Savannah competition Is not vet
quite clear, but 1t is to be presumed that
the fnanciers who have piloted the Dis
trlct National Guard over many shoals and
through devious channels will succeed i'd
finding some way just as soon as they
set themselves to do so.
