The Mayor's Age.

There seems to be an interesting
discussion on hand relative to the
age of Mayor Douw. 1t was stated in
the Capital some time since that Mr..
Douw is the youngest mayor Annapo-
lis has ever had. This gave rise to
the communication in last nights
paper that there were several other
mayors as young as Mr.. Douw, among
them the late Dr. Abram Claude.
Arthur Wells and Mr.. John X. Ma
gruder. :.
Mr.. Douw is just 81 years old. 1t
is we'll known that when Arthur
Wells was mayor he was 36. Now will
someone who knows give the ages OF
the others ? 1t was stated dnring
Mayor Seidewitz's administration as
mayor of Annapolis that he was the
Youngest mayor, but Mr.. Seidewitz is
much older than Mayor Douw. The
question grows almost as interesting
as if the ages of women were being
discussed

Long Distance Launch Trip.

A trip from Baltimore to Annapolis
in a 2l-foot launch was successfully
accomplished a few days ago by Mr..
Charleg b. Orrell and Mr.. Joe Rus
sell They started from :Spring Gar
dens at 80 p. m. and reached here at
Z. 10 p. m. after having passed through
severe storm that struck them before
reaching Sandy Point. The seas were
running high, but the launch was kept
heading down the Ibay and finally
reached home. The engine in the
launch worked beautifully all during
the trip and had not the launch been
perfectly seaworthy they would have
had to return or seek shelter. Mr..
Orrell will be pleased to take out any
one wishing to buy a launch, as he
has the agency here for the Racine
launches. canoes and row boats.

MIDSHIPMEN TRANSFERRED.
Half of The Annual Summer Cruise
Of The Future Admirals
Ended Today.
PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION OF
MIDSHIPMEN.
The Entire Fleet Is At Present AS
sembled In Gardeners
Bay, Mass.

Today, half of the annual summer
cruise of the midshipmen of the Naval
Academy which begun at Annapolis
June 3, was completed The full COM
plement of the feet, consisting of
thirteen vessels is now assembled in
Gardner Bay, Mass, preparatory TO
sailing again on Monday for another
short cruise along the New England
coast. after which they will rendez-
vous at Rockland. Me. From Rock
land the fleet will again proceed south,
stopping at New London once more
returning to the Capes of the Chesa-
peake.
In order to give the midshipmen as
much practical instruction as possible
in learning the operation of the sew
eral types of craft, the ships exchanged
their crews with one another today.
The four torpedo boat destroyers re-
cruited their crews from the monitor
Terror. the arrangement being for
not less than twenty midshipmen to
be under torpedo instruction at one
time. Because some of the ships have
a larger crew than others. the ex-
change between the larger vessels was
made by some going to one and others
to another. For instance the Chesa-
peake and Hartford, which contain
the largest complement, transferred
with the four monitors of the fleet.
An interesting feature of the cruise
ON the homeward stretch will be the
visit to be made to the Washington
navy yard. and the Naval Proving
Ground at Indian Head, Md. Al the
former place the midshipmen will in
spect the naval gun factory, and will
thence go TO Indian Head, where most
of the large guns are tested before
being mounted upon the ships. They
will also inspect the factory where
smokeless powder is made.
