At large gathering of Company d
last evening, four new members were
elected. It was unanimously decided
to begin preparations at once for the
most elaborate minstrel entertainment
ever put on by the company. Major
Mccarthy was selected as business
manager, and Gus Murphy, a most
competent man, as director and stage
manager. Captain Bergstrom, Lieuten-
ant Crane and Lieutenant Timmons
were appointed a committee to arrange
details. The entertainment will be put
on in September, either in the Drill
Shed or the Opera House.

evening paper relative to the anticipat-

said that Admiral Beardslee instructed
Captain Book to have his vessel put
in thorough repair, so she could leave
for San Francisco in two weeks, if nee
essary. Captain Book accepted this or
