Richmond. Va, March 23.-There
seems to be n well formed intention on
the part OF Governor Tyler and the
military department of Virginia to
boom the Naval Reserves of the State.
After n conference with Commander
c. w. Cake of the naval battalion, and
Captain w. w. Barrow, OF the adju-
tant generals office, Governor Tyler
yesterday decided to accept the offer of
the u. S. S. Prairie TO take the reserves
on a cruise in June. The Prairie will
be at Norfolk on June 6. The depart
ment will allow the battalion to have 1t
for eight days, time sufficient to take
an extended cruise.
Captain Barrow spent considerable
time ascertaining the cost of the cruise,
none OF which is to be borne by the ma
tlonal government save the cost of
fuel. etc. Captain Barrow calculates
that the total cost to each man need
not be over &c cents for the eight days.
This is for subsistence. the men have
their bedding. 1t is probable the men
would be willing to pay this tritling sum
in order to have the benefit of Il cruise
and the pleasure, for there will be more
or less fun to be had. Commander Cake
says in case the men do not care to pay
their expenses the. cost can be borne
from his headquarters fund.
Governor Tyler has also decided to
ask the government to place at the dis
posal of the Virginia naval battalion
one of the converted yachts now at the
Norfolk Navy-yard. The request has
only to be made in order to get the
vessel.
The use of this vessel is expected to
accomplish great deal towards in
creasng the efficiency of the reserves
and Dopularizing the service. The gov
eminent will furnish four seamcn, who
will be aboard the vessel all the time,
and all expense of running and keeping
s. in repair will be borne by the general
government. The reserves will be II
liberty to use the vessel as often as
they may desire.
