Some One Without Authority.

Postmaster John A. Merritt has written
to the Commissioners requesting informa-
ton in regard to certain directions given
to the residents of Brookland in address
ing letters on account of a change In the
names of streets. Mr.. Merritt states that
the clerk in charge of the Brookland sta
ton informs him that recently some per-
son. supposed to be an agent of the Com
missioners. visited Brookland and informed
many of the residents there that they
should instruct their correspondents in ad-
dressing letters to make certain changes In
the names of the streets. Mr.. w. II. Scan
nell, residing in Austin street. Ii Is said,
to Harvard street.
The inspector of buildings and the assist
ant engineer have both reported that their
offices have no knowledge of new street
names and that no employees OF the Dis
trict government made the statement OF
which Mr.. Merritt writes.

seph L. Heron. Lieut.. Charles G.. Harvey
and Lieut.. Harley B. Ferguson. all of the
regular army. This was the first company
to drill. and the men were plainly nervous
The drill program contained eighty-five
numbers, all told There were sixty-ffve
regular numbers and twenty extra num-
bers required of each captain at the con-
clNsion of the regular program. Practically
all the hard work in a competitive drill of
this kind falls on the captain of the COM
pany, it is his mind which directs the
movements. Captain Scudder's company
put up an excellent drill, and it might have
for the omission of one or two numbers
from the program and the ragged work of
his company in firing from kneeling pos
ture before the command to fire had been
given. Company D, Captain Daniels. of the
Technical High School, was the next COM
pany to take the field. The work of this
command raised the hopes of the Tech. stu
dents in the stand to the highest pitch, and
this morning they were confident that no
other company could touch d Company
work Captain Davis and his Company A
of Central did well, however and will have
to be reckoned with in the general sum-
ming up of the results. Company c, Cap
tain Huddleston, of the Technical School
also did good work. These were the third
and fourth companies. respectively. to drill.
Every one connected with the regiment
was pleased with the work of the boys on
felt that the four companies which will en-
ter the lists this afternoon will have to do
some extra fine work to win.
Those Who Will Drill Today.

decoration. The boxes about the lower edge
of the stand had been portioned out among
the high schools. and were filed with the
members of the faculty and officers of the
regiment. Every one OF these boxes had a
distinctive form of decoration Bunting Of
every hue and shade was twined about the
pillars that support the roof and hung in
strips from the rafters under the roof BAN
ners from six to ten feet long were fas-
tened along the side of the stand and above
the boxes were suspended other banners.
Each banner and each color displayed
meant something to the ten thousand STU
dents. teachers. parents and other Specta-
tors gathered In the park.
The Enthusiasm.
To most of these also the hoarse yells
emitted from some-section of the stand and
bleachers all of the time and each section
some of the time meant something. How
ever. only the initiated could understand the
curious mixture of syllables and growing
sounds that were hurled. sometimes in de-
hance and sometimes encouragement, 50
ii would be7impossible for one person to in
terpret all that was said. Megaphones and
speaking trumDetS carried the sounds
where the voice could not penetrate without
assistance. The park was thoroughly filed
with noise at all times.
The girls largely outnumbered the boys

there was plentiful sprinkling of grown
IolkS, 100 Inc spirit of rivalry between the
schools does not stop with the students,
but engulfs their instructors and parents
as well. Numerous persons of note In the
District were in the crowd and seemed to
be inoculated with some of the enthusiasm
which swept in regular waves over the
field from bleacher to bleacher and from
one end of the grand stand to the other.
The gay costumes of the young high school
misses became a bewildering maze of bril-
liant color when the young ladies would
rise in their seats and with flags and
streamers waving hoarsely shout their
school yell and scream defiance at any of
the other schools There were five high
schools represented, and for every one of
them there were about two thousand
stanch supporters who were willing to
lose their voices and scream themselves

win the coveted prize banner and the ALI

mediately thereafter the regiment will be
formed and the judges will announce the

the announcement will be the signal for a
general melee among those who were not
fortunate enough to be supporters of the
winning team.

Eastern. Business and Western schools.
The first company to take the field will be
Company F, from the Eastern High School,
Captain Thompson. Captain Thompson is
native of Kansas. but came to this city
while very small. He has passed through
all the grades of the public schools from the
fourth grade up, and entered the Eastern
school for the term 1899 1900, and fmme-
diately took an active interest in the mill
tary side of the school work. In 19O0-19U1
he won the medal for general efficiency in
Company G, and served as a corporal last
year in the prize company. Captain
Thompson desires to enter West Point as
soon as possible and become an engineer
officer of the regular army. Company F is
one of the famous ize-winning companies
of the high schools. 1t took the banner the
first year it was organized 1891, and has
won twice since then. having been given
first prize in '96 and again last year.
Company E, Captain Pullman, of the
Business High School. will be the next to
take the field. The companies at the Bust-
ness school are not so fortunate as are
those at the other schools in that their
members have but two years at school, and
do not have the opportunity for study that

boy and will graduate from the High
School this year, as will the other officers
Capt. Wilfred +. Roach. the regimental
quartermaster, is one OF the officers OF the
organizations whose work counts for some
thing in the regiment. The quartermaster
is the hardest worked man in the entire
outfit when a regiment is IN the field. but
1t IS not believed that Capt. Roachs duties
are very onerous. He is a native OF the
District and passed through all the grades
of the public schools entering the High

present school year.
Another valuable officer OF the regiment
