Il was asked MT. Irving whether the
Day parades, and the answer was one
which the majority of those present
fully agreed with. 1t was to the effect
that it was not advisable to ave the
men appear in public until they had
become really proficient in marching or
In some other branch of their practice.
1t was more than likely that instead of
parading through the streets the men
might be taken out in the small boats
to some beach where the shore shelves
out gradually for a quarter of a mile or
SO, then go overheard and haul the boats
in, and afterward hold a skirmish drill
along the sand in some more, or less Sc

will have to be heated. All. this VIII cost
money, and while the Federal Govern
mont will furnish something and the State
something more. it will be insufficient for
all needs. Within three or four years the
naval reserve will have become much
more efficient than the people have any
idea of at present. If the State is to have
q naval reserve it wants a first class one,
and if the prominent and influential men
of New Jersey stand by the movement
In these its early day its progress to-
ward efficiency will be just so much the
