THEIR FIRST CRUISE.
NAVAL RESERVES TO Go OUT
WITH SIREN SUNDAY.

The Virginia Naval Reserves have
formally accepted the sirensas a train
ing ship from the Federal Government.
and next Sunday they will take ther
first cruise on her i'll Hampton Roads.
The state of Virginia was required
to give 4 $4,000 bond TO the United
states Government before II could Sc
cure the Sircn.and the Governor in turn
required the Naval Reserves to indem-
Nifty the State by securing 4 marine
insurance policy on the vessel for the
amount OF the bond.
The Siren is a pretty converted yacht.
and Was formerly owned by MIR. \. j.
Cassatt. President of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. By the courtesy of Admiral
FarQuhar the Siren is permitted to re-
main in her berth AT the navy yard
until u permanent anchorage place is
secured FOR her. This will probably
be IL point between the Boston dock
and the Atlantic City bridge. Three
OF the four ship-keepers to have her in
charge have been accepted by the Gov
eminent. They are Jacob Thorkelson
second hea-.e-li-++a - i4444.se: w u tla=a
coal passer, and j. T. Evans, landsman:
all of the second division of the Re-
serves, commanded by Lieutenant
Weaver.
On the cruise next Sunday Leuten-
ant Cannon, OF the Reserves, will be
navigating officer. He is an expert
enced navigator, and will probably be
in fun command of the vessel during
her first trip in charge OF the Reserves.
1t is the purpose OF the Reserves to
go on cruises at frequent intervals. oc-
casionaliy taking a trip to New York.
Baltimore or some other city.
The Reserves have received their
uniforms and having the Siren at their
disposal at all times. it is not at all
unlikely that Virginia will soon have

THE NEW CENTURY CLUB.

This week the club met in the Mems
Club room for the first time. Notwith-
standing the gloomy day the usual number
of members were present. Some business
matters of Importance were discussed and
settled, and the name of Mrs. B. T. Biggs
was accepted as an associate member.
Mrs. ]. P. Cochran, Jr, in her review of
''The Mill on the Floss" told the pathetic
story of Maggie TulIiyer's life in such a
sympathetic manner that she held the
interest of her hearers from the beginning
to the sad end. Miss Mary Rothwells
paper on Victoria" was an interesting and
well written literary production of more
than usual merit. Mrs. Richard Lock-
woods article on "The Prince Of Wales,
came next, and while we do not all agree
with her in her estimate of his character,
no possible fault could be found with it in
regard to its style or interest. The last
paper OF the afternoon was that of Miss
Blanche Wright on "The Bronte Family. :"
After three such excellent predecessors IL
should have been a dull one. but on the
contrary, was bright little article to which
was given interested attention throughout
its length. Mention of Mrs. Boyd McCoy's
paper on "The Brownings," was accident
ally omitted last week, and since it was
one of the best of the day it is to be the
more regretted that it was not spoken of
at the proper time.
The club will meet next week on Wed.
nesday instead of Tuesday when Mrs. w.
b. Biggs will review "The Tale of Two
Cities,H and there will be several selections
read from that book.
