Az to Interstate Drills.
AS time passes Into history and nothing
definite is heard as regards an interstate
competitive drill !n the near future, the
members OF at least four interested local
compan!es-the National Fenc:bles. Morton
Cadets. National Rifles and company
c. Washington Light Infantry Corps
are manifest.nS some signs Of anx-
iety. 1t is generally agreed that the
date Is ripe for an announcement Of the
competition. if such an affair is to mate
rialize. Several run.ors have proved to he
without foundation and today it may be
stated as fact that no definite considera-
Csltion to hold drill, although Capt. Domer
Is Ill receipt of private advices to the effect
that the crack companies Will soon congre-
gate at New Orleans to engage in friendly
strife, and that grill teams have already
begun practice in Omaha.
In a communication to The Star E. c.
Lewis. director general Of the Tennessee
Centennial. Exposition Company, says: 'rFhe
statement as to the holding of a competitive
drill in Nashville is correct, but not during
the coming spring or summer The drill will
be held the next spring, summer, or fall as
finally agreed upon, some time between May
1 and November ], 1897.
1t is thought that if no other city Will un-
dertake the drill for 1896 Indianapolis will
come to the front rather than see the enter
prise go by default. Then, in all likelihood, a
drill will be held in st. Louis under the aus
pices OF the st. Louis Fair Association,
with the association cup. won last July by
the Branch Guards. as a. trophy, although
Capt Sinclair disposes of a popular rumor
by saying: "St. Louis will have no COM
pet.tive drill during the national republican
convention.
A prominent officer OF the District Ma
tional Guard, speaking yesterday to Star
reporter en- the subject, said: 1T looks very
much as though the year 1896 is going
to prove an off year as far as interstate
drills are concerned, and it IS not imDrob-
able that the Memphis meeting of last year
Will go down to history as the last of a
lors series of such events. Aside from the
fact that noLe of the drill cities appear at
all anxious for the honor this wear the
