Mr.. II. w Hobbs. who was so unex-
pectedly called to such an arduous pO-

and pleasure of everyone with whom
he has come in contact
1t is most creditable to our office
force and to both Mr.. Massey and
Mr.. Hobbs that with the increasing
efficiency of our organization both
men are popular with their assistants.
This was well evidenced by a surprise
party successfully planned and car
ried out by the young women of our
Office as a farewell to Mr. Hobbs and
a welcome home to Mr.. Massey. Thir-
ty-four of the office staff-every one
able to attend-sat down to a delight

will last from next Saturday until

Commander Charles c. Marsh, U. S.
Pm, will command the squadron at

quainted with the men of the naval
militia of all the other Northern states
participant in the tour of duty. The
plan will, it is expected, produce much
that is good in the way of uniformity,
besides tending to a knowledge of va
rious ideas in other battalions which
might be incorporated in the training.
There will be two converted yachts,
owned by the Massachusetts naval
militia. at GARDENERS bay, two from
New York state, one containing the
Jersey City battalion of the New Jer-
sey Naval Reserves, and two from
Connecticut, in addition to the vessels
of the regular army. Much interest in
the coming maneuvers is evinced by
the naval militiamen, especially be-
time, the program will be carried out
for a squadron, instead of on board a
single ship, as heretofore.
At GARDENERS bay there will be boat
races and competitive target pra'
by the crews of the variousstate com
mands, with maneuvers. The entire
tour of duty will not be spent in the
harbor at GARDENERS bay. On the con
trary, a portion of the program 1t II
said, will comprise sea duty, thougl
of a different class from previous
years. There will also be an. oppor

of the annual tour of duty of the re
