ALEXANDRIA, Va, June II, 1897
The second annual excursion of the Alex
andria Light Infantry to River View yes
terday was largely attended, and all pres
ent enjoyed themselves to the fullest ex-
tent, Notwithstanding that during the even
ing a thunder storm came up, which drove
everybody within doors for about an hour.
About 900 persons went down on the first
trip. but 1t remained for the 80 o'clock
boat to take the bulk of the crowd. Upon
this trip there were between 800 and 200
men, women and children.
Shortly after o'clock the shooting con-
test, for the handsome gold medal, which
has to be won three times in succession
to become the property of any one, took
place. The successful man wins the honor
of wearing the medal until the next con-
test. There were thirty-three members en-
tered. and each man was allowed five shots
at a target 200 feet distant. The marks
manship this year was not as good as
usual, owing to the fact that the soldier
boys were unable to secure cartridges to
practice with. although requisition had
been sent in for them.
As will be seen by the score, only two
bull s-eyes were made, the first by Cor
poral Norris and the second by Private
Muir. The judges were Privates Charles
Stone and Tolbert, and ]. Thomas Beck
ham, jr., of The Evening Star was scorer.

THE IRREPRESSIBLES,
The Small Boy Threntens the Destruc-
ton of the City.

L nv sAhataih hsVs the DeStruc.
ton of the City.
During the spring and summer seasons
the police are constantly receiving COM
plants against the irrepressible small boy
Congregatlng on street corners, making
loud noises and playing base ball are
charges received almost daily, and these
complaints give the police more trouble
than do the more serious violations of law.
Occasionally complaint is made of the
smashing of a window, the tearing down
of houses or of the threatened destruction
of the city. Recently communication was
received in which complaint was made that
some boys in Southeast Washington were
setting off fireworks in a vacant house.
Major Moore says that some of the COM
plants indicate the probable destruction
of the city, ard one morning, when the
question arose of what should be done to
keep down the small boys, he asked:
What to do with Young Ameri-
ca? Are the police powerless?"
There's only one way to put an end to
these complaints" suggested Lieut.. Yer
non
And what is that?'
Drown the boys
The youngsters have not been drowned,
and complaints are as numerous as ever.
