INDOOR ATHLETIC GAMES

| trict of Columbia militia, have been en-
gagged during the week seeking suitable
| site for the encampment of the troops of
| the District of Columbia National Guard,
| to be held during the latter part of next
July. They will continue to search for a
week or two longer and will then submit a
report, with recommendations, to the COM
| manding general. The latter will personal
| ly view the sites recommended and make
| the selection.
| An effort was made to take the entire
| brigade to Sea Girt, n. ]. The camp
grounds at Sea Girt are considered to be
ideal, and 1t was thought that such an
outing would not only be in the nature of
| a novelty, but would give the officers and
men valuable experience. The officers
would have a chance to show what they
could do in the way of maintaining disci-
pline by keeping the men in the cars and
in order during stops at large cities Trans
portation rates are so high, however, that
the Sea Girt proposition had to be aban-
doned.
The idea now is to order the brigade into
camp at some point within a very reason
able distance of the city-in other words,
not more than five miles away. Last year
the camp was al Gaithersburg and the year
before at Leesburg. Both these places
were by no means reasonably accessible for
local citizens. Too many visitors are not
as they interfere with the work of the men
But it is thought we'll to have the camp
this year at point that may be easily
reached so that the people of Washington,
If they so desire, see for themselves
what the guard is doing while under cam
vas with the least possible trouble. Then,
too all necessary supplies may be pur-
chased from local merchants The proba-
bility is that the camp will be near one of
the local railroads and perhaps inside of
the one-fare limit.
CreditabIe Showing Last Tuesday.
The provisional regiment of the District
National Guard which participated In the
parade last Tuesday afternoon on the oc-
casion of the unwilling Of the statue of
Gen. John A. Logan made a most cred
table showing. According to the official
| reports forwarded to militia headquarters
the regiment paraded fifty officers and $50
men.
Each Of the twelve companies was of at
least twenty files front, which means
that there were more than forty enlisted
men to each company. In view Of the fact
that the day was not legal holiday the
size of the turnout was particularly graft
flying. The general opinion seemed to be
that the men looked as well and marched
as perfectly as could be desired.
