There will be an informal hop this
evening at $3.50 O'Clock. Informal In
yitations to attend have been sent to
all posts on the island. A marconi-
gram was sent to the Logan inviting
the 9th Infantry to be present, as
notice has been received that the Lo-
gan would arrive Friday morning and
will not sail for Manila until Sunday
morning. In view of the great num-
Der of social affairs with which the

According to one of the papers re-
Gently received from the mainland the
San Diego Exposition is making big
effort to get at least a battalion and
more if possible of the 21st Infantry
at Vancouver Barracks to go into
camp at the exposition grounds, but
1t is not believed that the war depart
ment will at this time approve of the
troops leaving Vancouver for any such
purpose. The exposition already has
some cavalry from the Preside of
Monterey and several companies of
marines, and these it is believed
should be sufficient to give the proper
military color to San Diego,s enter:
prise, rs the army aviation school at
North Island and Fort Rosencrans also
afford some chance for sightseers to
view military work. \
