Delegates to Baptist Encampment
Inspect Institution This Afternoon.
MAKE THE TRIP ON SPECIAL CARS
Charlottesville, Ocean View. Virginia
Beach and Buckroe Beach to Fight
for Permanent Headquarters OF En-
campment.

Accepting an invitation from the au-
thorities to spend an afternoon at the

the delegates are looking forward to
the journey with the deepest feeling of
pleasure
The authorities at the Normal school
will arrange special features for the
visit and every department will be
thrown open to the visiting Baptists.
Fight for Headquarters.
There has cropped up an exceed
ingly lively contest in the encamp-
ment over the selection of the place
for holding the encampment next year
and probably in the many years to
come. Charlottesville has asked the
encampment to come TO that city and
to make Fry's Springs the headquar-
ters. Virginia Beach is offering many
strong attractions, while Ocean View
is also very anxious TO have the pleas
ure of entertaining the visitors next
year.
Buckroe Beach is not going to per-
nit other places to have the encamp-
ment without a contest and there is
going TO be a warm time when the
new executive committee meets TO Sc
lect the site for the encampment.
The selection of tn meeting place is
left entirely in the hands of the In
coming executive committee.
It was said yesterday that while
little attention has so far been given
to the election of the president of the
executive committee, which is the head
CT the encampment, that surface in
dications point to the retention in that

Ell the important post during the past

Mr.. Sanford Attending.
Among the ministers attending the
encampment is Rev. T. Ryland San
ford, of Chatham, formerly the pastor
of the Memorial Baptist church here.

cal people and he is being warmly
welcomed by the local people.

Great satisfaction is felt at Fort
Monroe and in the army circles over
@ remarkable exhibition of markham
ship and the dispatch with which the
officers of the United States Artll-
lery school here mined Hampton
Roads so as to prevent the invasion
of the enemy from the Virginia
Capes. According to the official scores
given cut by the authorities. the pres
ent class has broken all records, Doth
for Workmanship and for despatch IN
planting the destroying torpedos in
the channel
The work of planting the mines in
the channel was accomplished in
little more than eight hours, while
the former record was about two days.
So effectively was the road fined with
the destroyers in that short time that
the army authorities declare that any
attempt to come into the Roads would
have failed. 1t is said that this is
record that will prove of the highest
interest to army circles. and VIII give
the naval officers something to think
of.
Hit Targets Four Times.
The target practice work was even
more startling than the quick man
ner in which the bottom Of the roads
were covered with the deadly tor
pedces. A target, eight feet in diane
ter, was placed at an angle four miles
cut from the fort and the gunnera
succeeded in hitting this target
squarely four times lout of six shots
fired. while the two additional shots
went wild of the target only abou,
two feet. This is declared to have
been the most remarkable score ever
made in target practice, especially at
the long range distance of four miles.
The gunners will try today and to-
morrow to lower the record in target
practice, but it is hardly likely that
the record of yesterday can be brok-
en-
