THE OREGON'S RECORD,
Her Corrected Speed for the Trial
Course Is 1858
Knots.
Method by which the Blairmore Will
Be Lifted - Two Sister Ships
Will Help.

Under the hands of her builders, the
battle-ship Oregon is receiving the last
finishing touches before she takes her
place in the line alongside of such glorious
company as the Charleston, San Fran
cisco, Monterey and Olympia.
Unlike the first vessels turned out by
the Union Iron Works the Oregon will be
handed over to the Navy Department all
ready for sea. Then she will only require
ammunition for her battery and the crew
and the ships stores. The officers and
men will be detailed for her and the other
necessary articles may be loaded on board
in few hours.
When the board of inspection make up
their report and the Navy Department
formally and officially accepts the great
ship, she will be cleaned and painted, the
guns polished and otherwise made 10 look
her prettiest. The decks will be planed
and calked, the awnings of both the YES
sci and the boat fitted
The official speed for the course was
given out as 16 7S knots but this has been
corrected and the splendid craft has been
given a record of 1888 knots.
The Mexican cruiser Zaragosa Is on the
Union Iron Works drydock preparing for
her trip TO Japan and China, and viii be
ready TOR sea in few days.
The wreckers will soon be ready to lift

CAMP ON THE PRESIDE,
Entire Division of the National
Guard to Be AS
sembled.
The Encampment to Be Held Dur
ing the First Week in
October.

The encampment of National Guard
troops at the Presidlo will not take place
until the first week in October. Last week
the announcement was made that General
Muller's brigade, composed of troops from
the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys,
would probably go into camp at the Presi-
dio on July 1, and remain there six days.
This programme will probably be aban-
doned in consequence of earnest protests
from cities and towns within the brigade
district against taking the companies
arms from their respective local stations
on July 4. In many towns preparations
for orcelebrating independence day had been
well advanced and the programme gener-
ally contemplated parade of the troops.
Last evening General Warfeld, COM
manding the Second Brigade, telegraph ed
the facts to Adjutant-Genera Barrett at
Sacramento. The latter had left the Capi-
tol for Los Angeles before the dispatch was
received, but the message was repeated to
that city.
Should the plans of the Carnival of the
Golden Gate" be carried out, as some of
the promoters of the festival desire, the
military encampment at the Presidio in
October will embrace the entire division
three brigades OF the National Guard
several efforts to bring all the State
troops together on one field have failed on
account of the great expense of transport
ing the men from Southern California to
the place of the desired encampmeat.
At Camp Columbus, Santa Cruz, three
years ago, all the troops of the State ex-
cepting the Seventh and Ninth Infantry
regiments passed in review before Gov
ernor Markham and Malor-General Di-
mond. Another effort will now be made
for full division encamp pment, and since
assurances OF very low rate of fare for
this special purpose have been given the
scheme will probably be successful.
The National Guardsmen themselves are
enthusiastic on the subject, and the people
of the various cities throughout the State
will support the enterprise, as the depart
ure CT the troops in October will not inter-
fere with plans for local celebrations.
1t is highly probable, therefore, that all
the regiments will get the benefit of a
camp of instruction at the Presidio, and
that on the military day of the carnival
the entire division will parade on Market
street and be reviewed by the Governor on
Van Ness avenue.
1t has long been the desire of the regi-
ments located in the Sacramento and San
Joaquin valleys and of the troops sta
toned. in Los Angeles and San Diego to
give San Francisco an object lesson,
showing that military organizations of
the highest grade exist outside of the
metropolis.

On the subject of the West, especially OF

"The people of the Pacific Coast are

phatically stated, ethan any class have

KNIGHTS TEMPLAR FEAST,
Reception to the Drill Corps of
Golden Gate Com
mandery.
The Occasion Was One of Presenta.
tionS, Bri liant Speeches AMI
Good Cheer.

One OF the most delightful social events
among the fraternal organizations of late
was the banquet and reception given in
Golden Gate Hall last evening bv Colonel
L. w. Sumner to the Golden Gate Com
mandery Drill Corps, X. T. On April 25
this drill corps gave a public drill and re-
ception in the Mechanics Pavilion for
beneficiary purposes, and the ecommandant
of the corps thought it beftting to show
his appreciation of the efforts.
That the affair was a success goes with
out saying, for whatever this commandery
or it's members undertake never fails.
Last evening the officers and members
of the commandery and corps enioyed
themselves heartily until late hour. The
time passed almost unnoticed at the BAN
quet table, partly owing to the enjoyment
of addresses, music and recitations. The
first toast of the evening was "Golden
Gate Commandery and the Health of It's
Commandant," to which Eminent Com
mander Charles A. Murphy responded.
The First Commander of Goluen Gate
Commandery, w. o. Could" was re-
sponded TO by the Sir Knight himself
The commandant was himself greatIv
surprised by the drill corps presenting to
Colonel Sumner beautiful punch bowl.
This elegant present was exhibited at the
World's Fair and at the Midwinte- Fair
Another presentation was a set of solid
gold Golden Gate Commandery jewelrv to
Colonel William Edwards aud Sir James
G. Spaulding From the drill corps of
Golden Gate Commandery for loyal ser
vice"
One of the features of the evening was n
vocal treat by E. de Kay Townsend. who
sang "Oh, Promise Me-" So great was
the appreciation that he was Obliged to
repeat the selection. Other toasts, sones
and addresses followed. The hall was
beautifully decorated. Among those pres
ent were the following:

Whlteiaw's divers have cleared out the
vesseIs hull and completely stripped the
ship down TO her three lower masts.
In Jew days the matches and all open
ing will be sealed air and water tight, but
before the huh is closed all of the muddy
deposit will be pumped out of her hold.
Big canvas pipes will be led down into the
vessel wherever possible and the great
steam pumps on the wrecking barge will
be set to work to clear out the hull
Under the direction of Captain Burns a
huge platform is being constructed on the
wreck of strong 10x10 inch tim bers. Upon
this frame, which is high in the air, large
tanks will be built so that when they are
hlled with water their weight will have q
tendency to whirl the hull over on an even
keel.
To further help in the work of raising
the vessel two big ships, the Ellisland and
NereJean which are lying at anchor in
Mission Bay will be moored over their
sunken sister ship. They will be secured
at dead-low water with taut ca bles to the
Blalrmore, and. being empty and very
buoyant, the tide will raise them and
their burden several feet. This will lift
the wreck from mud and make the labor
OF righting her an easy one.
The hull will then be emptied of water
by means of the air forced down into 1t,
and after the wreck is well clear OF the
bottom of the bay the whole procession
will take up its march for shallow water.
One tide leaving her deck clear will fin
ish the job and only the riggers Will be
needed to put the spars, yards and gear
back in their places. The steel topmasts
having been shattered by dynamite, their
repair will hardly be possible on this
coast, in which case masts of wood will
probably be substituted.
Captain Burns thinks that next week
will bring the Blairmore in sight, and q
week longer will land her in the drydock.
