The run for today Will be TO Dickeys,
where dinner will be taken.
On last Sunday morning the boys visited
Washington Barracks for the purpose Of
witnessing guard mount, after which they
returned to the armory and discussed the
weather prior to starting on the days run.
Owing to threatening conditions, 1t was de-
cided TO go to River View instead of shton,
as originally intended. The roads were in
fair condition, and the run was made in
about two hours. The day was spent In
bowling, rifle practice, shooting the chute,
ETC., and after dinner the homeward run
was started This homeward run will prob
ably result in a change of name for one
of the most constant OF the company and
club members. For q number of years
this member has been known as Strength"
"Weakness'', "yim,'' TIRED and vari-
GUS other names to indicate a supposed
abhorrence for anything resembling physi-
cal exertion.
One Of the con ditions under which Weak
ness consented to go on the run was that
the pace would be ''held down" On the
homeward trip weakness" set out to make
the pace, and the way he put it up was
caution! Through woods. over fallen trees
and into and through a stream forty feet
wide, which might have been forty feet
deep for all he knew to the contrary.
The boys begged him to stop and rest, but
he evidently nursed deep thoughts OF
vengeance, and he paid not the slightest
attention to their appeals. Finally, with
a superhuman effort, he attempted to take
a hurdle CT barbed wire, but came to grief.
He succeeded in getting his wheel over,
but his own momentum was stopped by an
unusually long barb, and he hung sus-
pended in midair. With fiendish delight,
his companions taunted and jeered him for
some time before going to his rescue, and
this was only consummated after solemn
promise had been exacted from the victim
that he would iev9f again make the pace
on the outings Of the club.

MyIes Cycle Infantry.

The run for this morning is TO Tenley-
town for the purpose OF signal drill, and
the establishing OF signal station back
of Fort Reno The company has already
q station at Fort Russie, and it is the in
tention to establish stations at various
points about and sur rounding the city.
Owing to the recent change of status
of the company under National Guard
orders, it is now essentially a signal corps.
and as a suitable arm, the members now
carry revoIvers instead Of the carbine, as
heretofore
number of changes were made In the
organization last week. Sergt. George
E. Frech was appointed first sergeant; Cor
poral William E. Eekstein appointed fourth
sergeant; Corporal j. ID. Eggleston, ap-
pointed fifth sergeant; and Private Henry
Gather, appointed corporal.
The corps will go into camp with the
National Guard at Fort Washin gtenon June

The regularity with which Thomas A.
Driscoll, the Georgetown Varsity tennis
crack, has been winning games against

widespread attention among the devoJees
OF the racquet and net. Beginning with
Monday, May "a, the week was one
continuous round of triumpbs, and the
new tennis star can scarcely be more
pleased over his success than are
many of bis friends here and elsewhere. His
splendid success atNew Haven, ending with
last Tuesdays contests, mark him as
one OF the strongest players behind
the net, aud his work speaks well not
only for his splendid playing, but for
his remarkable exhibition Of endurance
His net work and volleying were special
features of bis playing.

for the championship of the New England
States: and how well he acquitted him-
self was told from day to day. II the
work of this rising young player was re-
markable IN the Southern championship

won by the G georgetown man.
On Thursday Parker, another crack,
preferring not to enter the lists with the
new star, defaulted to him. On the same
day he continued his line of victory, and
with Beach, he handily won the pre-
liminaries in the doubles, winning from
stoddard and Trowbridge, Yale, by
