The fire drill at the Naval Academy
on Wednesday Id one of class of exer-
cises that are thrown into the crrricu-
lum of the school when it does not in
terfere with anything else, and is also a
part of the programme of events that
has absorbed one of the weekly holidays
of the cadets. Formerly the cadets had
part of Wednesday afternoon for recfea-
tlon. Now they have recreation in drills
and other exercises that make them ell
Gent officers. They take the new regime
well and make no complaints. Some
rather like it, as it tones them up in the
soldierly quality of endurance.
The third and fourth classes are still
at unfurling and furling sail on the Mo-
nongahela. They are making fine prog
ress in pr0fc ENJOY, and this is no wonder
since the lessons IN the art are long and
the work inoessant.
The academy grounds have assumed
their usual spring beauty, and will con-
tlnre TO increase III loneliness as the sea-
son advances. There will be a steady
increase in another direction also, and
that will be In the way of work, for,
from now until graduation day in early
jane, there will be a progressive devel-
opment of duties. One fine morning in
June they will end in the burst of grad
u:.tion glory, and then the calm of a
Summer solstice will fall over the Naval
Academy.
the recent successful candidats for cadets
are Walter Ii. lizard, of South Carolina.

Of Ohio. No. Z.
aThe examination CT the six-year cadets
will begin on the 10th instant. The ex-
aminatiOns will last about two weeks.
Most Of the cadets have reported for
the examination. 1t is thought that
all of them will get places in either the
line1or engineer corps.
Only Que cadet will go into the con-
struction corps at present-D. e. Nut
ting, of Kansas, but it is thought that
Cadet j. A. Perry, of Illinois, will enter
after the final examinations are over.
An entrance is being made to the Ma
val Academy OH the corner of King
George and Wagner streets, in place OF
the one further down Wagner street.
This entrace will give the annex better
access as it will he in more prominent
place. In time we expect this will be
the most beautiful part of the grounds.
The houses are much sought after and
have become to be called Oklahoma, on
account of the rush for them.
The hill by the old gas house is being
gradually carted away and other i'm
proyements going on. Lately the street
in front Of the new houses has been
moved further out, which is quite an
improvement.
