he thoroughly enjoys his part in the

author describes Calico's feelings as

All, that grand entry! That was
something to live for, No matter how
bad the roads or how hard the hills
had been, Calico forgot it all during
those ten delightful minutes when, with
his heart beating time to the rat-tat-tat
of the snare drum, he swung prancing-
~ around the yellow arena. il
1t all began in the dressing tent with

were crowded together as thick as they

late meant to be fined. At last the ring
master clapped his hands as Sign that
mentary hush. Then bugle sounded,
the flaps were thrown back, and to the
crashing accompaniment of the band
the seemingly chaotic mass unfolded
into a double line as the horses broke
into u sharp gallop around the freshly
dug ring.
The first time Calico did the grand
entry he felt as though he had been
sucked into a ..whirlpool and was being
carried around by some irresistible
force. So dazed was he by the music.
by the hum of human voices and by.
the unfamiliar sights that he forgot
to rear and kick. He could only prance
and snort. He went forward because
the rider Of the outside horse dragged
him along by the bride reins Around
and around he circled until he lost all
sense Of direction, and when. he was
finally shunted out through the dress
ing tent flaps he was SO dizzy he could
scarcely stand.
At the Theater. "a = ''s
One Of the most annoying things In
the world Is to go to the theater. and
sit back Of a man who has been to see
the play and insists upon telling his
companion all about the performance
and what's coming next. The other
night at one Of the local playhouses a
man was greatly annoyed by the occu-
pant of the seat in front of him talk
Ing in loud voice about what was
going to happen on the stage. Finally,
when the talk became incessant, he
exclaimed:
"What an internal nuisancey'
The man In front turned around and
said in threatening voice:
"Do you refer to me, STRIP
"No, indeed" replied the man in the
row behind. II was simply saying

HUGH c. FRY DISMISSED.
The Navy Department Approves
Captain Brownson's
Recommen-
dation.

For some days past it has been known
that Midshipman Hugh c. Fry was again
in trouble, but it was impossible TO get a
statement of the case from the Naval
Academy authorities.
Last Monday Midshipman Fry was
brought before Captain Brownson, the
superintendent. and Commander Radger,
commandant of midshipmen. The result
was not given out. but it was divulged in
Washington yesterday, when Superin-
tendent Brownson conferred with the
Navy Department in the case.
Midshipmap Fry had been violating the
rules of the Academy since his coniine-
ment to the prison ship "Santee" and
has "Frenched" out in town on several
occasions and has otherwise violated the
Academy regulations. The result of it all
IS that Secretary OF the Navy Moody has
approved the recommendation OF Captain
Brownson that Midshipman Fry be sum-
marty dismissed from the Academy.
Captain Brownson was at the Navy
Department yesterday for the distinct
purpose OF personally recommending the
dismissal OF Midshipman Fry, who is a
native of North Carolina, and whose
family stand well in the community in
which they live About three months
ago Midshipman Fry got into contro-
versy in the Academy mess hall with a
negro waiter, which ended by Fry's
throwing drinking glass at the negro
and severely cutting his head.
For this offense, which the academic
authorities said was conduct unbecom-
ing an officer and gentleman" Mid
shipman Fry was confined for two
months on board the Santee. Since his
release. Captain Brownson reported yes
terday, Midshipman Fry has constantly
broken the Naval Academy regulations
by being absent without permission.

CONFERS WITH MAYOR.
Captain Brownson And Mayor
Jones Have Important
Interview.

An important interview has taken place
between Mayor Samuel Jones, Of Annap.
oils, and Captain w. II. Brownson and
Commander c. Badger. superintend-
ent and commandant. respectively. of the
Naval Academy. relative TO matters of
joint interest to the city of Annapolis and
the Naval Academy.
The most important subject discussed
was in connection with the part of the
city which borders on the new part OF
the Academy. The academy authorities
are anxious that this section should be
improved as much as possible, and the
city authorities are glad to cooperate
with them as far as possible.
There are member of saloons in the
vicinity OF the two main gates Of the
Academy, and the naval officers made
inquiries to ascertain whether il be posi-
BILE to prohibit saloons within certain
distance of the Academy. Ii was also
thought that number of outbreaks
which have occurred between civilians
and sailors or marines could be traced
TO these places in the neighborhood.
This was suggested as an additional
reason for restricting them. The officers
were informed by Mayor Jones that the
licenses we're given out in each May by
the City Council. and that protest on
the part of the Academy authorities
would receive consideration. There are
FIVE saloons within less than a block of
some portion of the Academy grounds.
Captain Brownson also informed Mayor
Jones that the Mayor Of Annapolis was a
member of the committee appointed
under recent act of Congress to select
locations for memorial tablets to be placed
in the Naval Academy to commemorate
certain events of historical interest.
