the Navy he Made Regulars.
Washington. oct. 22.-The strongest rec
ommendation in the annual report of Sur
geon General Van Reypen, just made pub
lie, Is that relating to an increase of the
medical corps of the navy. He points out
that while there has been a steady in
crease in the enlisted force of the navy
for the past two years, and while the ma
rlne corps has been sweled By the addition
of 5000 men, there has been no suitable
provision made for corresponding in
crease in the medical corps.
Every surgeon who Is not sick Is said to
be on duty, and the department has been
unable to supply surgeons for needed re-
cruiting and other duties. Therefore, the
surgeon general recommends that the
corps be increased five surgeons and
twenty assistant surgeons, and that the
volunteer surgeons who served IN the war
and are now in service be transferred to
the regular rolls and the age limitation be
removed IN their cases

reason Of the excellence Of its exhibits,
and in a general way would derive benefit
from the superb showing to be made from
the aggregated county exhibits.
In counties where fairs are held these
county exhibits would make interesting
and valuable attractions.
