The first Thursday in August has been

now at the Washington navy yard under

the foot of Water and o streets south

While the members of the local naval
militia in general enjoyed the voyage on
the Rhode Island. nevertheless, they de-
clare that they were too crowded to be
comfortable either for sleeping or for
working. The regular officers aboard
the nhode Island, even, pointed out that
the snip was too crowded. and it is now
the belief that in future cruises aboard
battleships the department will not at
