COMPANY N HAS DRILL
IN THE NEW ARMORY
Much Interest shown and Ample
Space for Proper Movements.
NEW RECRUITS ADDED.
Court for Basket Ball an Indoor Rifle
Range and Other Sports for
Mlitismen.

There was a particularly interest
ing program at the armory of Com
pany NJ last evening. The membt rs
showed great interest in the drill,
and consequently, il was somewhat
shorter than usual. Great improve
ment in the drills has been noted since
they have taken place in the new ar
mory, which affords ample room for
carrying out the movements properly.
An excellent recruit was added to
the company, and battalion Sergeant
Major Eugene c. League has applied
to be replaced in it, thus increasing
the number by two. There have
been additions to the company dur
ing nearly every week since it has
been in the new quarters.
After the drill the first regular
basketball game to be pl iyed in the
new armory took place. Linton's FIVE
succeeded in defeating Claude's
team by IL to 8. d. Collins, of the
winners. showed unexpected aptitude
for the game, shooting the first goa
ever made in match at the armory,
and three others for the winning side.
The game was lively and interest
ing, and there is no doubt that good
material can be found in the COM
pany. A better court could not be
found anywhere. 1t is proposed to
have a series of squad contests, and
also organize company FIVE. How
ard Thompson, St. Johns star, and
member of the company, who has
been employed out of town, is ex
pc cted back within a week. A chal-
lenge has been received from the
Hyattsville company for games here
end in their own armory
The boys of the company were
delightfully."- entertained later with
music by members of the Annapolis
Amateur Orchestra, consisting Of
Messrs. C. Meeder, u. S. NJ, Frank
Gtraci, an old member OF ompany
G, and Harry Lowman, a member OF
The company. There was also an
informal treat of ice cream served
in Army cups, but not the less en-
joyed for that reason. Some of the
final details for the opening dance
next Monday night were perfected
There is every prospect of large at
tendanca and most delightful affair.
The butt of the indoor range have
been completed anu the range win be
ready for use shortly. fhis will be
one Of the best features OF the ar.
mory. Company M has generally
done good work at the rifle range,
but with the new facilities for prac-
tice and the increased membership
there is every reason to believe ii
will be among the best. Two of its
members, Sands and hubbard, were
members of the State team this year
The indoor range is built to accom-
modate four shooters at once. The
target are arranged on travelling
wires, so that they can be brought
up to the shooting position, marke d
and changed without interfering with
the other shooters. This is a most
valuable feature. There were a num-
Der of visitors last night, all of whom
were surprised and pleased with the
splendid accommodations of the ar
mory and the work that is being
done by Com pauy NJ.

AN EXCITING CHASE.
Little Fox Terrier Makes Things Live
ly, Monday, at M. C. Station.

A small fox terrier that would not
weigh over eight pounds caused more
excitement at the Maine Central sta
tion, Monday afternoon, during the
interval between the arrival and de-
parture of Train 102, the westbound
o'clock express, than had been seen in
that vicinity since the first visit to Au-
gusta of Joe" Knowles, the primitive
man. The dog arrived on Train 1922,
and was hitched in the baggage car.
When the car door was opened on the
arrival of the train, the animal. prob
ably thinking that he had arrived at
his home town, made a jump that
parted the toy chain by which he was
made fast to the side of the car, and
landed on the platform. His next move
was to get away from the vicinity of
the train, and then began chase that
was as spectacular as it was lively
Tho personnel of the crowd that
sought to capture that small specimen
of doGffesh included representatives of
nearly every calling in life-lawyers
and other professional men, railroad
men and cab men, and traffic of all
kinds on Rines hill was suspended for
the time being. to watch the fun Bag
gagemaster Sylvester held first place
for awhile on the way up the hill, but
the dog was too nimble for him, and
after reaching the Hartford House he
gave up the chase.
The dog was finally captured after
he had run out on the concrete abut-
ment OF the bridge, and his only means
OF escape was to jump to the tracks
below or on to the locOmotiVe of a
freight train that was standing under
the bridge. He was then taken back to
the baggage room of the station and
put into box, to be forwarded by the
next train to Portland on the way to
his destination. which was said to be
somewhere in the South.
