With Brig. Gen. Robert K. Evans, chief
of the division of militia affairs, War
Department. in command, the second
group of officers, numbering thirty-two,
left Fort Myer early this morning on
horseback for their three-day test ride.
This group is composed of officers having
assignments in the offices Of the War
Department, and includes Lieut. Col. S.
E. Smiley major, I'd United States In
fantry), adjutant general. District Of Co
lumbia Militia. Ten medical officers are
In the group.
They will ride over Virginia roads,
camping each night on the reservation at
Fort Myer.
Bad riding conditions faced the officers
when they made the start this morning.
Following the rain of yesterday. the rid
ing over the muddy roads will undoubted-
ly prove trying, and an overcast sky
seemed to foreshadow that the men
would have rain during their ride. Those
who have taken the rides heretofore say
1t is almost certain that one of the three
days consumed by the test will be rainy.

B. Sleman, jr.
The club was organized several years
ago. to have direct charge of the foreign
mission work of the local association. 1t
is supporting representatives in Japan,
China India and South America, and ii
was from the fact that the sun never
sets on the work of these missionaries
that the club took its name.
Mr. Woodward and Mr.. Sleman were
both closely identified with the club and
its successful work, and Mr.. Woodward
was at once suggested as the logical sue
cessor of Mr.. Sieman. after the latter's
death, as its executive head. Mr. Wood
ward is familiar. as was Mr.. Sleman. with
the work of the several missionaries sup
ported by the club. as he has visited the
