FIELD DAY.
Fourth Regiment Will Show
What It Can Do In a
Sham Battle.
ONUS ON THE OFFICERS
There Will Be No Practice
Before the Open Exhi-
bition

1t was officers night at the Fourth Regi-
ment last night and great many officers
were present to discuss field day exer-
cises to take place On September 27 in Gut
tenberg. An elabSpaee programme has
ben prepared for the occasion and Colonel
Smith predicts a great day for the boys.
Field day exercises have not been held by
the regiment in several years, and it is the
intention of every officer to successfully
carry out the plans assigned to him by the
extended order issued several days ago.
The prospects of a day of excellent
sports are unusually bright. It is not
likely that there will be any prelimin-
ary drills and the regiment will rely sole
ly on the ability of its officers to see that
the orders are executed with precision
and promptness. The field where the ex-
ercises are to be held, adjoin the big
race track in Gutenberg. The grounds
are ope nand there is a chance for all to
witness the days programme. Quarters
vii be established for the State officers
and Governor Voorhees, who will attend
inthe afternoon at a special invitation ex-
tended by Colonel Smith.
No tents will be pitched. The food will
be taken care of by the Commissary De-
partment and an excellent meal is to be
prepared. This will be served immediate
ly after the morning drill
The officers who use horses will ride to
the grounds over the Boulevard reach
ing the scene about half past nine. The
Soldiers will go up on special cars. A
special car for the Colonel and several
invited guests will leave the depot at
the foot of Exchange place at nine
o'clock on the morning of the day of the
sports.
The morning drill is scheduled to take
place at ten o'clock. After dinner has
been served a sham battle will be held. A
battalion and a half or six companies will
form the opposing sides. These opposing
companies will be divided in two compan-
les for the advance, two for the support
of the attack and two for the reserve
forces.
In the attack the men are to take ad-
vantage of whatever natural protection
the field affords. Blank cartridge will be
used. On the officers depends the success
of this battle. Everyone of them has his
particular duty laid out and he will be
called upon to see that the movements
are executed without confusion
Later in the afternoon the dress parade
will take place. The Governor and the
State officers will be present at the dress
parade.

MORRISTOWN, Sept. 20, 190O.-Repub-
lican politicians and delegates from all
parts Of Morris Warren, Sussex, Somer-
set and Hunterdon counties will meet in
Washington tomorrow, in the Fourth Dis
trict Congressional convention. The one
name to be presented before the conven-
tion is that of John 1. Blair Riley, a
nephew of the late John I. Blair, who was
decisively defeated at the last election by
the present representative, Joshua S.
Salmon The political machinery has
been well oiled, and the indications are
that Mr. Riley will have no opposition
He is not particularly anxious to serve
his party again, believing the race hope
less one, and the powers that be are hav-
ing decidedly hard time of it trying to
persuade him to run.
The real boss of the convention will,
undoubtedly, be Senator Mahlon Pitney,
who, since the death of George Richards.
has been in absolute control of Republican
politics in this district, and is steering the
Republican ship alone. 1t is probable that
should Riley absolutely refuse to take the
nomination that Senator Pitney, who has
twice carried the district by unprecedent-
ed majorities, would tryit again, especial
ily as the State leaders are not in favor Of
his nomination for Governor this term
After the nomination has been made
General L. Woodford, late Minister to
Spain. will make the principal address.
