Port They Visit on Cruise.
IBy Telegraph 20 The Tribune. ]

New London, Conn, Aug. 22-The monitors Ar
kansas Nevada and Florida. which have b-en
cruising this port for the last month. carrying
the class of midshipmen of the United States
Naval Academy. finished their cruise. and the
midshipmen will be sent TO Washington for ord
nance instruction for ten days.
While in port the midshipmen were eager 10 make
bets on the coming football match between the
Navy and Army teams They complained bitterly
that last year they unable get their money
covered until the of the game in Philadelphia.
To prevent n recurrence OF what they seem to
think was serious misfortune they booking all
the bets they mako months before the game.
1t is noticed that the mddies particularly
anxious make bets with army One of them
remarked that for the last five years they had
been regularly losing thousands of dollars foot
ball games both to the West Point cadets and also
TO army officers in different parts OF the country.
We always made IL a point OF honor TO cover
every the army wanted to bet" said this man.
..and for the same reason refused to accept or
ask odds. though outsiders betting and

would not score.
Take the year" he continued, that the army

did when team had a fighting chance.
and we bet even money. too. although OF course.
realized that we were going 10 get licked. Now
that the tide has turned and have good teams
and a fighting chance for winning. We want to get
revenge. Maybe VIII lose. but we are eager to
take the chance"
Anything that looks like army money is
snapped up by the midshipmen they cruise along
the coast. 1t is understood that class meeting
was held Annapolis before the cruise started.
and instructions We're received from the president
of the class and other class officers Ito take all the
army money in sight or that could be found while
on the cruise and these instructions have been
followed out energetfcally.
When some companies OF the midshipmen were
ordered the jamestown exposition they went
down prepared to swamp the West Pointers with
bets the coming game. 1t is said that large
amount wagered then. the midshipmen taking
full advantage Of being quartered near their Army
rivals.
1t is estimated that something like 5000 has al
ready been wagered by the middies on the Army
game. and that they are prepared to make the
amount $500 by the time the referee blows his
whistle for the kickoff starting the game
