BUSY DAY IN NAVY.
OFFICERS AND MN CHANGE
DRESS live TINS.
Not a Regular Occurrence, But One
Instance Of What the Men
Are Sometimes Re-
quired to Do.

Four thousand officers and blue
jackets, constituting the crews Of Ave
frst-class battleships and one gunbOat.
In the New York navy yard. changed
their uniforms simultaneously Ave
times on q recent Sunday, says the
New York Times. The reason Of 20
much changing Of dress was due to the
regulation which requires that each
officer and man must at all times wear
Q uniform to conform with that worn
by the commanding senior oficer Of
the fleet or squadron.
Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans, the
commander-in-ch chief of the North At
lantic feet, Ave of whose battleships
are at the navy yard, is, of course, the
ranking officer at the yard. He Is away
on leave of absence Next to him comes
Rear Admiral Coshlan. the command
ant of the yard. After him comes Rear
Admiral Davis. commanding the second
division Of the battleship squadron.
However, It was said absences of COM
manding officers were frequent. and
this made the ranking good deal Of q
puzzle to anybody but a navy man.
At any rate the officers and men Of
the Kearsarge, Kentucky. Alabama.
Maine and Missouri and the second
class gunboat Dubuque had to make
some lightning changes of dress. The
changes began at reveille, when a sig
nal from the Alabama showed that the
commanding offioer was going to
breakfast dressed In blue.
This information was quickly wig
wagged to all the ships, and when
the men lined up for mess each of
them was clad in the blue uniform of
the service. After breakfast the men
lounged about the decks or strolled
around the yard. About ten O'Clock
another signal was wigwagged from
the flagship. The signal was to the
effect that the ranking ofioer was
wearing a white cap. Ten minutes
later all the ofioers and nearly $500
men had discarded their caps Of blue
and had reappeared In caps made Of
pure white duck.
The next change was at the lunch
hour. Hardly had that meal ended
when there was some more wigwag-
ging between the ships. The CON-
mandiDg oflioer was in the full uni
form Of white duck. Half an hour
later the efnoars still ON the ships and
every baus-jscaet on ship or in the
yard had returned from q hurried visit
to his quarters. where be haA changed
the blue for the Whtte duck.
Just before the dinner bell another
signal appeared. "O1 with the white
and on with the blue is q liberal
translation Of what the man with the
signal flags said. II was nearly asu-
down, but the interval between signal
and mess call was sufficient for an
other rapid change Of garb. and when
the last o3l for dinner" sounded the
decks Of every battleship and the lit.
tie gunboat showed formations OF
smart seamen, every one OF whom was
clad in the full blue uniform Of the
United States service
II believe we hold the record IL
shooting. but I know we hoAi 1t wher
changing clothes is under discuss ion, ;
remarked an officer. as he dartet
around 12-inch turret on his way tt
his quarters to change his white ducl
for blue uniform.
