The Expense.
The features OF the camp have been made
SO attractive that boys are making
calculations as to expense. The board for
each cadet will be So per week. the first
payment of which must be made in adj
vance into the camp fund before July 81.
Capt. Thomas p. Heap, at the Second Ma
tional Bank. is acting as camp fund treas
urer. In addition each cadet must pay on
or before July 81 SO to cover cost of rail-
road ticket for round trip. There will be
no other expenses and the boys believe
that in no other way can months vaca-
ton of such a nature be had for 500.
Many cadets are planning to remain
throughout the encampment, some are go
Ing down for such time as they can at
ford There will necessarily be many
changes In the officers, and a prize of $40,
1t Is said. has been offered for the cadet
who starts In as private and returns as
a captain.
Some chagrin has been felt that Wash
ington has not proved s generous In sub
scriptions as was hoped. Five hundred cir
culars were sent out to business men, and
a committee of twelve cadets Is in the field
to solicit subscriptions.
Through the courtesy OF members of the
National Guard a room in Center Market
Armory has been used for the mastering In,
sizing and drilling of the companies. Capts.
NARROW, Steinberg and Law have been at
work for two weeks getting their men into
shape. Every Thursday and Friday evening
the companies have been drilling, and some
degree of unity has already been obtained.
1t is understood that many cadets ambi-
tious for honors in the High School COM
panies of the coming year. are looking to
the exercises and drill of the camp as an
opportunity for practice.
Arrangements for the departure Saturday
are being perfected The cadets will as
semble and march to the Pennsylvania
avenue station for the $50 am. train. The

and parents of the cadets purpose accom-
panying the regiment Capt. Heap Is al

tickets at encampment rates from many
Interested friends.
