THE BUMDING DAMAGED.



AS heretoforen mentioned in The Star,
Colonial Beach was visited last week with
very severe storm, during the continuance
OF which much damage was done. The
Chlloren's Home, In which the members
OF the Protestant Episcopal Church of this
city are much y interested, and which is
managed by a sboard composed of ladies
from the different r. E. parishes, was par
ticularly unfortunate
Inc larger building, which had just been
put IN order, With twenty little beds, for
the children was blown in on one side
ana caused toL bulge out on the other,
while the porch also suffered considerable
injury. The building was strongly built,
ana sun stands firm on its foundation,
put II mad no partitions inside, and its
lohs, hlsh wall, unbroken by inside walls,
could not resist the force Of the wind. 1t
mas peeh inspected by one Of the building
inspectors OF Washington, and will be put
III repair according to his directions. Extra
braces VIII be put in and it is proposed to
put IN the partitions also, which was left
uhuone 1or the want of means last sea-
son. II is probable that had the build
ing neen entirely completed, it would have
resisted the Storm
Inc managers are anxious now that the
neated term will soon arrive to get the
building ready for the purpose for which
IL was designed, but are, the president of
the board says, sadly in need of money to
do so.

1nterestinS-The Winners.

InterestinE-The Winners.
The event of the year in the military
life at GonZaga College Is over, and conf
pany A has the title of the champion COM
pany OF the battalion, earned in the annual
company competitive drill held yesterday
on the college campus The drill of the
GohZaga Cadets always arouses a great
deal of interest among the parents of the
children and their friends, and fully a
thousand persons witnessed the drill YES
terday applauding heartily whenever a
chance offered. Promptly at half-past 5
the battalion, headed by the drum and
bugle corps, and commanded by Major
hugh DUFFY, marched on the field and from
that time on the interest of the spectators
was unabated. The first number on the
program was battalion formation, after
winch there was bugle contest for a
silver medal. The contestants in this were
Charles Cudmore, James Spotswood Jo-
seph Feely, NJ. Reilly and John Madigan
and the iast-named bugler secured the
prize The drummers contest was won
by Phillip McCarten, who was also award
ed silver medal
The event of the day. however, was the
company competitive drill for the ST. Ce-
CHA prize banner, held since last year by
company b. The judges We're Capt Geo A.
England. company d. fifth battalion; Lieut.
Richard Harden, company A, fourth battal-
ION, ana Lieut.. Chas. J. Harlow, company A
ioui III BATTALION, D.C.N.G. COmpany A
was the first to drill, and as it was com
posed OF the largest boys in the college it
OF course made better showing, although
the little fellows in the smaller com
pany made only a few points lower in per-
centage. The percentage of company A
was SIG while that of company b was
S24. The drill as a whole was an excellent
one, and showed that the companies were
thoroughly conVerSant with the tactics
Inc program consisted of fifty-nine num-
bers, including inspection. The captain of
company A, the winning company was J
Vincent Coughlan, while Capt Henry E.
hughes did his best to put company b
in the front rank again.
After the drill company A fired three
volleys, with blank cartridges, as a salute
10 me nag, the firing being done in an ex-
cellent manner.
The individual drill, in which every mem
Der OF the battalion entered, aroused per-
maps the most interest of any event of
the day. 1t was won by Jimmy OConnor
the smallest soldier in the command whose
gun reaches higher than the top of his
mead: he won IT on simple headwork keep
ing MS hand up on command by the
numbers in the manual when his four
competitors, all that were left out of the
large number that started in, dropped their
hands to their sides. OConnor was the
recipient of an ovation, besides being the
winner OF the gold medal given for the
contest.
The exercises closed with a dress parade
by the battalion, after which the prizes
were awarded by Rev. Father j. A. Con-
way, vice president of the college and
Mgr. Sbaretu of the papal legation, the
latter pinnng the medals on the breasts
of the winners.
