Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
BELMAR, n. J., August 1S 1900
The season at this pretty resort, situated
at the mouth of Shark river. the most ia
nous fishing and grabbing grounds on the
north Jersey coast, has on its hands the
heaviest August in its history. The crowd
of summerites has occupied its time this
week boating and fishing on the river, TAX
ing trolley rides up the shore to Long
Branch, and going on bicycle trips inland.
and has given the usual amount of atten.
ton to the dance and euchre party. Last
year Belrnar was the most euchre-crazed re-
sort on the whole Jersey coast, and it Is
maintaining that reputation again this year.
One of the chief events of the season is
the series of athletic sports under the aus
pices of the Hotel Columbia. The sports
will be held this year next Saturday after
noon, in the ocean and on Ocean avenue.
The Washington arrivals of the week at
the Hotel Columbia include Miss Marion A.
Curtis, Mrs. A. Maurice Low and James

OCEAN GROVE, n. J., August 16, 1900.
To catch the typical camp meeting at
mosphere, one could do no better than to
visit this resort Sunday, when the great
annual camp meeting will open. The intent
of the camp meeting association and Its
president, Bishop John n. Fitzgerald, to
leave no stone unturned to make this years
camp effective, appears from the long and
varied program of daily meetings which
the bishop has just issued. These meetings
will be held at almost all hours of the day,
and will be conducted to meet the needs of
both old and young. The daily schedule
begins at 5:45 o'clock, with The consecra-

votion. At 9 o'clock there comes the young
peoples meeting in the Temple, conducted
by Rev. c. A. Yatman, the well-known
evangelist. who has had charge of that ser
vice for sixteen summers. This meeting
will continue until 1890 when the first SER
mon of the day will be delivered at the

the question that is disturbing the bonf-
faces peace Of mind. 1t transpires that

faver of welcoming the fin de steele cos-

COMING COMPETITIONS At sea GIRT
Brigade Team AIternates Named
by Inspector General Bell.
THE NAVAL BATTALION

Those about District of Columbia militia
headquarters are unusually active these
days. The beehive condition of things,
though, is merely a continuation of the eff
forts to conclude the business consequent
upon the annual encampment-such as pay
ing bills, approving vouchers and the like.
Capt. Alfred P. Robbins, aid-de-camp, is
not only acting adjutant general, but Is
also attending to a mammoth amount OF
work custodian of public property and
stores. He is largely handicapped by the
injury to his foot, occasioned by an acci-
dent that occurred while at Gaithersburg
Beyond these duties, affairs throughout the
brigade are very, very quiet with the ex-
ception of the department of rifle practice
which is rapidly concluding the details for
the trip of the rifle team to Sea Girt. for
the purpose of participating in the target
competitions there beginning the latter
part of the present month.
Major Bell, inspector general of rifle prac-
tice, announces First Lieut.. Frank w.
Holt. quartermaster, 9th Battalion; First
Lieut. G. G. Dennison, inspector of rifle
practice, 9Th Battalion: Sergt. c. E. Groome
Company D. 4th Battalion. and Private R.
L. Pile, Company d, 4th Battalion as bri-
gade team alternates. They earned the
places by hard and constant work on the
range.
Dr. S. I. Scott formerly connected with
the guard and member of the brigade
team year after year, has, 1t is understood,
decided to re-enlist. He will accompany the
rif1emen to Sea Girt, but will not be at
tached to any of the teams.
Brigade team practice is to occur here
after Tuesday Thursday and Saturday af-
ternoons A 1.OOO-yard target has been
erected at Ordway for the use of those who
intend to compete in the long-range match

MARYLAND to BE Represented.

The 9TH Regiment, Maryland National
Guard. will send a rifle team to Sea Girt
August 2S to participate In the matches dur
ing the annual meet of the New Jersey
Rifle Association, to start August 81 and
conclude September s. The team will be
managed by Lieut.. Col. r. Dorsey Coale.
and as at present arranged, is as follows:
Major L. NJ. Rawlins, Capt. E. A. Holmes.
Capt. Washington Bowie. Ordnance Ser
geant George w. Kasemeyer, Sergeant Nc
Sherry OF Company E and Private Stewart
Smith. also of Company Z.
As the Fort McHenry scores now stand
they are the crack shots of the regiment.
Should other members of the command
happen to make better records al the range
between now and August % they will be
selected as the team, the idea being to
send the very best shots in the regiment. 1t
will be the first time that the 9TH Regiment
ever sent team out of Baltimore to COM
pete In such a match. There will be shoot
ing every day, and those who go will have
a fine trim

Mai. Bell to Command.

Major Bell, of course, will be the captain
Of the brigade team. Captain Alfred p.
Robbins will accompany the detachment to
Sea Girt as adjutant. The team quarter
master will be either Captain Charles E.
Swigart, adjutant of the I'd Regiment, who
performed the duties last year, or First
Lieut.. Charles G. Mortimer, quartermaster
of the Sd Battalion.
The present plan is for the party to leave
this city about noon Thursday, the Both
instant. and reach Sea Girt about o'clocA
pm. the same day. The competitions open
the following morning. The District Le
tachment will include forty or fifty indi-
viduals.
AS two of It's members have been select
ed as brigade team alternates. Company
D. 4th Battalion. Will probably send a COM
to such at Sea Girt.

was mammoth, as Is shown by mere
glance at the report Of the board A large
number of recommendations are made by
the latter Some of these are as follows:
That the regulations, II approved, be
printed, indexed and published in form and
size similar to the drill regula tions of the
United States army.
That candidates for examination for COM

soldier, squad. platoon company and bat
talon. extended order; guard duty, cere-
monies, rifle practice. manual of the sword

information and penmanship.
Leave Of absence for more than one month
must be obtained from the commanding
general.
If a candidate for examination for COM
mission has once failed to pass the required
examination he shall not be eligible for the
same or higher grade until one year has
elapsed.
Question of Eligibility.
Where an enlisted man has successfully
passed the necessary examination to quail
tfy him as an officer. and has not been com-
missiOned as such. his eligibility as to his
professional qualifications for such position
shall not cease until the end of the term Of
the enlistment in which the examination
was taken. He may. however, be made to
pass an examination to other subjects
He shall also be allowed to wear the candi-
date stripes as long as he is member of
| the National Guard and have the privileges
and immunities appertaining to a candidate
for promotion.
In addition to the property book a card

ceipts to be made and signed in duplicate

Cruise of Naval Battalion.

1t may be definitely announced that the
cruise of the Naval Battalion will not be
undertaken prior to the Sth of September
or before the return of the rife teams from
Sea Girt. The statement is that 1t will be
impossible to secure the necessary supplies
before that time. Preparations for the out
ing, however, are being made with COM
mendable energy, considering the prevail
ing torrid temperature.
Commander Hains Of the Naval Battal
ION has been granted leave of absence for
three weeks, with permission to leave the
United States. Lieutenant Commander
Hopkins has been detached from the U.
g. 8. Fern. as executive officer, and is
announced as naval militia aid to the COM
manding general. Therefore. the indica-
tions are that Lieutenant r. B. Brummett
will be in command of the Naval Battalion
on the occasion Of the coming cruise.

A Play Out Of the Common.

When the S. F. Examiner applauds
a dramatic production, it is like the
verdict OF the gallery gods on " first
nights" safe for anybody to join in
approval. That journal of Monday
has this to say of "The Three Mus
keteers," which had been presented
the previous night:
The audience at the Alhambra howled
with delight when the hero accomp-
lished his deeds of valor in the face OF
overwhelming odds and Kissed and
hooted at the villain when he was foiled,
even though it was Richelieu. 1t was
large and enthusiastic crowd that wit
messed the first performance of "The
Three Musketeers." The performance
was an excellent one and the company
equal to many who have been here be-
fore and came heralded as stars. The
costumes were artistic and the settings
very acceptable. Harry Glazier as
D'Artagnan was especially good, and he
was obliged to respond to many curtain
calls during the six acts Of the play.
Vail de Vernon, who portrays the vii
famous part of Miladi, is beautiful wo-
man and an actress of considerable abil-
ity, reading we'll and acting with spirit
Blanche Stoddard shared the honors
with Miss de Vernon. She looked and
played the Queen with considerable dig
nifty and force. The rest of the cast is
good.
