It looks just now as though any one might safely bet on there being a brigade camp next year. A week ago Tux Star showed the easy probability of favorable action to that end by the Senate District committee and the predic- tion worked out very nicely. The committee recommended an appropriation of $5,000 to defray the expenses of a camp of instruction. ‘The amendment wasagreed toby the Senate and the bill has been passed. Now it goes into conference. There it may be stricken out, but the chances are all in favor of its retention in the bill, The conferees are friendly toward the proposition, all of them realizing how necessary a camp is this year. Moreover the appropriation was promised last year, so after all the question resolves itself into one of good faith and equity. Where the camp will be no one now knows. Perhaps Fort Washington may be available, but the chanees are it will not. A fow guards. men talk enthusiastically about Colonial Beach, others advocate Bay Ridge and a big multitude rather like the idea of going to Sea Girt, N. J. The latter proposition meets with a serious stumbling block in the matter of transportation. Each man would have to pay his own railroad fare, and asa natural sequence would feel as though he was out on a holiday for which he had paid. This would resuit in differences of opinion as to discipline. More probabie than any other location is the Sheri- dan’s Point reservation, immediately opposite Fort Washington. This property is now owned by the United States, and it is the intention of the War Department to make there a perma- nent camp for the District National Guard. ‘The place is easy of access. A good horse with an ordinary rider can reach Alexandria in forty- five minutes. ‘The brigade could easily pro- ceed to Alexandria on the ferryboats and from thence march to camp. ‘WORKING FOR OMAMA'S GOLD. ‘The Fencibles are going to Omaha. Every- body who is on speaking terms with a member of the company knows that—has been told so at least several times. But going to Omaha is not all; in fact it is less than half. The Fenci- bles propose to come back again, bringing with them the $5,000 cash prize which is the main attraction at Omaha next June. There are other of lesser value, but on none of these are Capt. Domer's eyes “sot.” Some ‘will necessarily be content with or even $1,000, but Capt. Domer insists that company C, second battalion, hus a first and exclusive lien upon the §5,000 and thing else which goes that $5,000 prize be a very easy affair. southern compames and quite @ number of the prominent western organizations will compete and as nearly all of have made of drill work (at the expense evening seven members were admitted, Lieut.

He Promised them his hearty support. A. resolu: mn was adopted extending @ vote of tharfts to Lieut. Thompson for help and courtesy ex- tended in the past. A communication was read from the city of Westminster, Md., inviting the company to at- tend a celebration there on Easter Monday. The invitation was considered, but politely de- clined, a» it was deemed inexpedient to attend before the company's home parade. ‘The following changes were made in the rauk of non-commissioned officers: Sergt. H. E. Crook promoted to first sergeant, Corp. Guy Y. Collins raised to second sergeant, Corp. W. Harvey Muzzey to become third sergeant. Dr. R. L. Barrington appointed company surgeon. Before adjournment it was decided that an entertainment should be given by the company about the middle of May to consist of a musical program followed by dancing. A distinctive cycle feature of the program will be an exhibition of fancy riding by Dan Caxary, the trick rider. NEXT WEEK IX THE GALLERY.

Ways of Ridin; After all how foolish it is to attempt to de- clare whick rider it is that gets the most enjoy- ment out of cycling, says the League Bulletin. The racing man is positive that bis is the only way to accomplish this; the scorcher sneers at the racer and says the road not the track is the fair test of both and pleasure in cycling the tourist pities both and revels in exploring the bywat is own and the highways of foreign lands: the club man will tell you that you know nothing of enjoyment until you have ridden with his club mates on a club run; the slow and easy rider understands not how there can be any controversy on this point, he knows his methods ere the only true ones to garner all of the pleasures there is in the sport.

Mrs. Howanp's Lecrune Recitat.—The musical lecture, yesterday afternoon upon Wagner's comedy of the “Meistersingers of Nuremberg,” on by Mme. Constance How- ard, was highly enjoyed by a large audience assembled at the studio of Mr. Harvey L. Page of 1729 19th street. ‘To characterize Mme. How- ard’s performance asa musical lecture were in- exact. True, there was a lecture, and there was also much music, but to give an idea of the real manner of this operatic exposition one must imagine the effect of a rendition of the score of the first act of the opera by a brilliant and enthusiastic pianist, who is able to acco: plish the difficult mpanying ity at the same time, by its own proper dialogue, ng also analyses and explanations of the themes, with their orchestral coloring. e overture, the church scene. with the bap- tismal choral, accompanied by’ the delicious flirtation between Wailer and Eoa, the assem- bling of the Mastersingers, the introduc- tion of Wailer to the guild, bis trial songs, the quarrels of Sachs and Beckmesser, and the riotuus confusion of the grand finale were glow. ing pictures painted with a consummate skill to be wrought ouly bya genius such as Richard Wagner. Mme. Howard is an able interpreter of such a work, for she possesses the depth, warmth and intensity of dramatic feeling which enables her to enter fully into the emotional character of the music. Her cultivation and lin- guistic giftseuable her to present in the clearest light the epoch, scene, characters aud plot of the comedy and the dramatic purpose of the writer. She is a gifted and expressive pianist, and enters upon ber work with an onthusiasm which throws « glaw of geniality over her per- formance anddelightsher hearers. Her second recital takes place on Monday, April 11, at 3 o'clock. Appreciation, From Puck. ‘He was man of age and wisdom. She was a woman of youth and beauty. Beguiled by her sympathetic glance, the savant told her of his long life of study, his patient search for truth, his failures and suc- cesses.

Asin other things in life the re of one man is often the pain of another; what seems nice to us appears foolish to others. Let each rider, then, decide for himself as to the way toget tho most speed, benefit or time out of cycling. and, as he demands for himself the right to de- cide which method he will use, let him also give unto hig follow riders the same priviloge to choose the way they prefar to enjoy riding.
