There is nothing unusual in the schedule
except the feet that the hour for taps
eight OUT is 1915 o'clock. This is
unusually early and some of the
Guardsmen complain that it is al
together too early for the call that
marks the time when the entire camp is
supposed to sink into slumber In previous
years the time for the call of taps has
been 1880 o clock or later Those opposed
to the hour set in the orders say that
the boys won't want 10 go To sleep so ear
ly, and that with lights out there viii be a
tendency TO hilarity less easily controlled
than if lights We're permitted to burn
longer.
The votaries of athletics are having n
hard time TO see when they are going to
find time TO slide in baseball games and
other sports. Afternoon. Of course. is the
proper time for such affairs. But with
drill call at 2:30 O'Clock and only an hour
between drill and brigade parade it will
be difficult 10 pull of any very elaborate
sports.
The High School Cadet Battalion, which
VIII be a part Of the camp at Leesb 1rg,
will follow out the daily routine of camp
life just as will the Guardsmen. a large
number Of cadets have expressed a desire
TO go. The commanding officer of the
cadet corps will report each day to the
adjutant general Of the Guard for orders
The work Of surveying the camp ground
at Leesburg has been completed and all
arrangements for the camp are now prac-
tieally in charge Of the quartermaster
general, Major H. II. Parmenter.
The crack marksmen who are practic-
ing at the Ordway range for places on the
brigade rife team which will represent
the National Guard of the District at Sea
Girt are making splendid progress. IN

scores made an aggregate of I,I00 out of
a possible loo points. Eleven hundred is
the highest score ever made by a District
team and is three points in excess Of the
Sea Girt record made by the District bri-
gade team at Sea Girt in 1898.
There are not many ridemen working
for places on the American team which
viii compete for the Palma trophy in the
international match at Sea Girt. Major
James Z. Bell, inspector general OF rife
practice, expects TO choose the brigade
team, composed of twelve regular and
four alternate members, after the all day
practice on Thursday, July 4. AT the
present time the general standard is very
high and competition Tor places keener
than ever before.
The companies of the Second Battalion,
the Corcoran Cadets, the Morton Cadets
and the CaprOn Cadets, which have
the District Day celebration, have practi-
cally completed their arrangements, al
though the programme for the trip has
not vet been made out II is desired that
al extra low rate be secured so that Z
large number may be induced 10 90. The
camping ground al the exposition has
been secured for six days, one Of which
viii be District Day, September 8. In the
meantime the efforts OF the company COM
nianders are being bent toward securing
Z large attendance Of the members OF
their organizations at the annual en-
campmsnt.
The idea of being paid in camp is pleas
ing 10 large number Of the Guardsmen
To the COrcoran Cadet Corps viii proba-
bly, lie the credit Of drawing the most pay.
tOrty-eleht members OF that company
will each draw over IS.
Company a, Of the Fifth Battalion, has
quite neat sum ii their Buffalo trip
fund Just when the company viii attend
The exposition has not yet been decided.
Company D, Of the Fifth Battalion. is
now enSconced in pleasant quarters At the
Centre Market Armory. This GrganiZ3-
ton, under command of Capt Penrose
Smith, has taken the name or the Gould
Rifles, and through the nuAincence Of
Miss Helen Could was recently the re-
cIpient of sum Of money which was used
10 mt Up the company room.
Two more States have decided 10 send
teams To the Sea Girt meeting, Psnnsyl-
Nania and Texas. The former viii also
send cavalry team 10 shoot in the car
bine and revolver matches. Squadron \.
Of New York, also has a team in training
for those two matches. The Seventy
fourth Regiment. OF Buffalo has q team
at work, and so has the Fifth Infantry
Of Baltimore. From the large number Of
teams that viii attend the Sea Girt meet
ing, more than sixteen States being rep
resented, it looks as If the mana cement
will more than have their hands fun 10
run of the matches, as two days must be
set aside for the international contests
To gain more time the number Of shots in
several of the matches has been reduced
IN number move that meets the ap-
pr9yaI Of all rillemen.
