The sports, the special dinners. the

The bureau of supplies and accounts
under h paymaster general, United
States navy, makes the contracts COW
ertng many hundreds of items ranging
in quantities from a few thousand to
many millions of pounds each year, and
upon the members of the pay corps Of
the navy falls the responsibility for
the preparation and issue Of the ar
ticles of food supply. How successful
they are can be judged from the many
commendatory remarks made by visit
ors from other navies, both at home
and abroad. During the VISIT of The
New Hampshire to the celebration at
Quebec that vessel was crowded with
English officers n men during the
hours set aside for visiting, and a party
of officers who were inspecting the
galley of that ship while the regular
dinner was being prepared and served,
asked permission to have luncheon
served from the enlisted mems dinner
rather than return to their own ship,
where they sal they would not re-
ceive as good a meal in their officers
mess. This one incident is typical Of
many coming under the notice Of the
officers Of the navy.
