Hard Drilling Is the Rule.

Another day of hard drilling faced
the members of the National Guard of
the District of Columbia today when
they turned out of their tents at
reveille. But the drills are not becom-
ing monotonous for these citizen SOL
diers, despite the fact that there arc
two periods of drill, morning and aft
ernoon.
So we'll did the militiamen pass
through the first day of instruction
that yesterday the officers of the regular
army who are directing the training
camp here passed them one notch I'D
in the course of training. They went
through every drill with a vim and
snap, but they were not kept long
tiresome. Under the direction of the
regular officers the maneuvers were
constantly changed to keep up the in
terest of the men.
A few more paragraphs in the regu-
lations for squad drill were taken up
yesterday morning, when the companies
were assembled for company drill a more
interesting part of the military expert
ence. Up until 1890 yesterday the SOL
diers kept right at it. passing from one
drill to another. They started in shortly
after o'clock. marching to the
grounds. where all of the commands
| were under the watchful eye of the
colonel commanding the regiment and

| "Real Wartime" Practice,
| Yesterday afternoon, shortly after the

| of the real wartime practice. Hun
dreds of khaki-clad figures quick
stepped across the field, an officer
would make a motion with his arm,
I,oH i
fall or kneel, according to the signal
given by the officers arm. Yesterday
afternoon was set aside for teaching this
important part Of the field exercises.
| when the signals for the execution of
the movements of the troops must be
| given either by hand Or whistle.
| The "non-coms" yesterday got real
taste of drilling in the ranks-just
like the Ordinary privates.' All of
| the non-commissioned officers in the
camp were assembled in the afternoon
and formed into a war strength COM
pany. While the rockies" and the
| vets" who have not risen beyond
beach enjoying themselves or dis
| porting in the water these 'non-coms
were going through the "blooding"
process under the instruction of Capt.
Horace p. Hobbs of the regular army.
About every part of the drill regula-
tions which the non commissioned Of
1cers should know was passed through
by these men. 1t was an excellent
chance to see whether they knew the
drills which they are required to teach
to the men. But the men took their
medicine Just like the greenest of
the rockies. They put up very
snappy drill, despite the hot sun, which
broiled them and helped dry up the
soggy battle-ground.
Lecture for Commissioned officers.
And again. while the mon CONS"
and the privates were enjoying them
selves on the beach last night the
commissioned officers were assembled
at Z o'clock for a lecture. They went

quarters, where, seated in squaw fash
| ion near Gen. Harvey's tent. they lis
tened to an address on the value Of
