Her crew escaped in a small boat.

The Cunningham. though one of the
Oldest vessels In active service ON the

COLONIAL BEACH INSPECTION.
Management to Take Steamer St
Johns on First Trim Of Season.

The steamer St.. Johns will make it's
first trip of the season to Colonial Beach
tomorrow with a party of special guests
of the management Of the Colonial Beach
Company, who go to the Virginia town
on the Potomac to inspect the property
and to look over improvements made dur
ing the winter and spring.
The party will leave here tomorrow
morning. spend several hours at the
beach and will return home tomorrow
night. Sunday the first excursion trip of
the season will be made by, the st.
Johns to Colonial Beach.
In past years the excursion season to
the beach has always opened with the
trips OF the steamers about Decoration
day. The warm weather, however, has
convinced the new management Of the
line that the season can be opened
earlier. and the trips will be started
two weeks prior to the former opening
days.
Until the latter part Of June the ST.
Johns will only run to the beach Saturday
nights and Sunday mornings. During the
past winter the big steamer has had her
boilers practically rebuilt and has been
given general overhauling for the ex-
cursion service.

this fact inspires the midshipmen to
good work. But there is no place to
accommodate these spectators except a
few rude benches. A permanent sta
dunn of an architectural design in har-
mony with the new buildings would be
very much appreciated by all concern
ed. and it has been recommended by the
superintendent and the board of Wis
itors.
The indoor swimming pool is used
daily by hundreds Of midshipmen
but the fourth classmen, who remain at
the academy during the summer, should
have an opportunity to swim in salt
water and the open air. There is no
bathing beach. but bath houses could
easily be provided at small expense at
a convenient point where the waters of
the Severn river are not polluted by
sewage.
There are seveal outdoor tennis courts
which should be concreted so as to per-
init playing in winter, Several basket
ball sets have been put up in the ar
mory. and there are appropriate spaces
for installing handball courts. billiard
and pool tables. bowling alleys and other
facilities for indoor exercise which would
cost but little.

States Navy is a pool seventy-six feet
long and fifty-six feet wide.
Capt. Badger. superintendent of the
Naval Academy, in his recent report
to the secretary of the navy, says: 1.-The
remarks and recommendations of the
board of visitors for 1905 in regard to
athletics are heartily concurred in. There
can be no doubt that the promotion
ally decreases the tendency to offend
against discipline. Every effort made to
employ the minds and bodies of the mid
| shipmen in healthy exercise and enter
tainment inside the grounds Of the
academy meets with ready response
and helps to remove the tendency to
break bounds or seek amusement in ways
that are not permitted.
Participation in Athletic Sports.
been to make the participation in ath-
letic sports of all kinds more general
and not confine it. as has sometimes been
the tendency in the past, to a few
selected men trained to battle for the
| honor of the school, And further, not
to attach too much Importance to some
one or two particular forms of sport
| such as foot ball and base ball. These
efforts have met with marked success

have each and all been encouraged and
considerably more than one half the bri-
gade have in the past year taken active
part in the voluntary athletics of the
academy. Interclass, division and com
pany competitions have also been en-
couraged. These interacademy competi-
tions comprise the best and most healthy
forms of sport for the midshipmen, con-
| sidering their peculiar situation and en-
vironment but it must be acknowledged
that matches with outside teams serve
greatly to keep alive the enthusiasm
for outdoor games. AS long as matches
with outside teams are played upon the
Naval Academy grounds their influence
is. on the whole, beneficial; but the op-
postte would be true, except in the case
of games with West Point, If the bars
| were thrown down and the midshipmen
allowed to visit and compete at a dis
tance, as is, sometimes urged"

preparation OF $4,000 to erect a stadium

of monumental proportions and design.
I25 feet long, 40 feet wide and IS feet
high. The armory is used for drilling in
disagreeable weather and for dancing as
often as the regulations will permit.
About the only social life enjoyed by the
midshipmen is the SATURDAY evening
hop" to which the ladies residing on the
reservation, the daughters OF Annapolis
and as many guests as can be tempted
from Washington and Baltimore are IN
yited. The experience of pretty girl at
one of these hops is unique. Elsewhere
when young people assemble for dancing
there are usually three girls for every
man, but at the Annapolis balls there are
ten men or more for every girl, anu
every one Of them is eager to dance as
often as he can. Hence 1t becomes neceS-
sary to split and divide the twenty num-
bers on the program into small fractions,
and the girls are transferred from one
midshipman to another as rapidly ana
with as much precision as the sailors
pass up ammunition on battleShlp.
The armory is a noble building. 1t has
a beautiful floor the walls are decorated
with exquisite taste. and you could not
imagine any more beautiful scene than
may be witnessed there when 1t is filled
with dancers.
On the opposite side is the gymnasium,
which was built for 500 men and must
accommodate 900. This makes 1T crowd
ed. and somewhat interferes with instruc-
tions in physical culture.
Attention to Physical Culture.
/ understand that the Navy Depart
ment, upon recommendation of the recent
board of visitors, has ordered that more
attention be given to physical culture
in the future than in the past, and

singular that so little attention is paid
to swimming, seeing that the graduates
of this institution are expected to spend
the greater part of their lives at sea.

plishment which every gentleman should
