MARYLAND HOSTS
. PfNNANT0F TROPHY
Tablet for Best Workmanship
Is Transferred to Cruiser
Of Pacific Fleet
Imposing Ceremony is Held as
Presidents Gift Is Unveiled
on Quarterdeck

The target trophy for ships of the
turret class, won last year by the
battleship Illinois, was transferred
yesterday to the armored cruiser
Maryland of the Pacific fleet with
ceremony more imposing than that ac-
companying the change Of flags when
Admiral Sperry took command of the
big eighteen This trophy and the
trophy pennant now flying from the
Maryland's fore are the outward and
visible signs that the gunners on the
armored cruiser are the best in the
United States navy, wu4ch is another
way Of saying the best in the world.
The trophy was taken to the Mary
land yesterday morning in charge of
midshipman from the Illinois and In
the afternoon the symbol of efficiency
was officially installed on its new
home. Rear Admiral layton, COM
mander in chief of the Pacific fleet,
was present at the ceremony and at his
side stood Admiral Sebree and many
officers from the armored cruisers.
Each OF the armored cruisers, in addi-
tion to some officers. sent eight gun
pointers to the Maryland. No repre-
sentative of the Atlantic feet put in
an appearance.
TROPHY vEILED IN FLAG
The Maryland's crew was mustered
at quarters and then marched TO the
quarterback, where the trophy, yelled
in an American flag, rested on a
flower deck table. At the tables four
corners stood the Maryland's four best
gun pointers-Seaman Hewitt, who
made the best record in the navy with
a three inch gun: Coxswain Martin,
the wizard Of the six inch battery
Seaman Eleng Of the eight-inch guns
and Private Z Marines Lizner, the
three FOUNDER King.
Captain KNAPP, chies Of staff Of the
Pacific feet, sead the orders from
Washington Awarding the trophy to
the Maryland. Admiral Dayton con-
graduated the: Maryland's crew on it's
I efficiency, for I: takes. all around work
to- win trophs, and thanked them for
the glory they had brought to the Pa
cif1c fleet in: bringing the trophy
where 1t belonged.
CREW is CONGRATULATED
A letter was read from Captain j.
NJ. Bower formally turning over the
trophy and congratulating the Mary
lands crew on it's victory. The Mary
lands band played Maryland, My
Maryland" and at the first strain of
music the four gun p-s!nters uncovered
the trophy and the .trophy pennant,
red with a black basl in the center,
| was broken out at thes fore. The crew
was then dismissed and Captain
Chauncey Thomas Entertained h S
guests. with light ref eshments. The
trophy will be placed n the gun deck,
where the crew may ses it at all times
This trophy, for EXCELLENCE in naval
gunneHy, was presentts1 by President
Roosevelt and goes to sae ship making
the highest score at thA annual record
target practice. 1t was won twice by
I,the Oregon and once bS the Wisconsin
when those vessels Belonged to the
Pacific feet. The Illinois won it last
year.

BEER MISSING AND
OFFICERS GRIEvE
Barrel of Bottles Sent to Nc
CulIoch Mysteriously
Disappears

The officers of the revenue cutter
McCulloch, which is lying off Meiggs
wharf, ordered a barrel of beer yes
terday and made arrangements to have
II delivered on the cutter at 2 o'clock
The driver of the wagon who took the
beer 10 the wharf did not know who
1t was for; he only knew that 1T was
for the McCulloch. The sailors who
were on the pier waiting to take the
officers aboard took the barrel of beer
out to the vessel and placed it safely
on board. Other members of the crew
spied the barrel and thought that 1t
belonged to some member of their
cEowd. The baer disappeared, the
empty barrel was thrown overheard
so were the empty bottles. The officers
came OUT to the ship about O'Clock
and made inquiryy for the beverage. No
one had seen it, yes, some one had,
the men who took it out to the ship.
They put It on the deck and did not
know what had happened to it since.
A general search was made by both
officers and men, but the barrel failed
TO show up. Suddenly one of the Off
GERS saw several empty bottles loat-
ing around. Wisdom came to him.
The crew was lined up and questioned
as to what they knew of the barrel of
beer. None OF them had seen it; they
hadn't had a drop TO drink since they
were on shore last. yet it. was with diff
ficulty that some of them stood UP
straight.
1t was evident toythe officers that one
or more of the men had been drinking,
but they could not prove whether it
was their beer or not, so they quaran
tined every man and refused them
further shore leave until they found
out who stole the beer.
One of the officers thought that II
was a shame to punish all of the men
for the deed of one, but the crew took
their punishment with q smile.
