Correspondence of The Evening Star, CAMP GILBERT THOMPSON, Ocean City, Md., August 17, 1894. There was a very small attendance at re- treat last night, owing to the fact that the wind died out just at @ critical time. This does not mean that most of the boys suc- cumbed to the still heat, ov that the com- Pany’s military schedule is dependent upon the weather, It means only that the sall- ing parties who went to Shell Beach yes- terday afternoon, under a positive guaran- tee to be returned in good order by 5 o'clock, depended upon an uncertainty, and they arfived about 8 o’clock—a great many of them on foot. Shell Beach 1s seven or eight miles down the Sinepuxent bay, and got its name some years ago, before the summer visitors had so completely despoiled it of its shells, The boys say they tramped over a full square mile of sand before they found any worth gathering. But they brought home a good many, anyhow. The joke of the thing, however, was the walk home. The boys got very anxious about supper, and a good part of them, after the wind dropped, de- cided to foot It home. They beat the sail- ers, but were ‘very weary.” There had been a company guard mount and guard drill planned for the hour after supper, but the sail postponed it, and it is now on the schedule for this evening. Capt. Horton drilled the drum corps for a short time this morning, Lieut, Holt has been very good to the young bugiers and drummers, and, in their appreciation, they call him “papa.” Lieut. Ruebsam has had a detail out to- day trianguiating to get a plat of the camp. He took a base line on the board walk, 100 feet long, and measured the angles from one end of the base to all the points necessary to make a map of the camp and vicinity. The transit was out of all adjustment, and, ‘after the adjustment of it, some stakes had to be put in for sighting points, and, considering all this and the intensely hot weather, the lieuten- ant's squad did very well. There was no drill today as Capt. Averill wished to have the rifle shooting and other matters attended to. The riflle scores for yesterday and today are as f At 200 yards—Lieut. Holt, 17; Sergt. Stevens, 16 and 21; Corp, Steward, 21 and 16; Corp. Stevens, ® and 9; Corp. Lepper, 13; Pvt. Cass, 6 and 10; Pvt, Gustin, 13 and 11; Pvt. Kemp, 18 and'15; Pvt. Me: Michael, 18 and 20; Pvt. Newman, 9 and 1 Pvt. Smith, 8 and . 1 Holt, 19 and . Sergt. Johnson, 9 and and 13; Corp. Steward, tia, 13’and 11; Pvt. Ke Smith, 3 and Lieut, Holt hopes to finish up the scores at 200 and 300 yards this afternoon, end begin on those at 500 and 600 yards tomorrow. The company will prob- ably leave here on an early train next Tues- day morning, and with that program most of Monday will be needed for packing up. There was a little revolver practice this morning, and the scores are as follow: Lieut. Holt, 9 and 16, total Sergt. Ste- vens, 16 and 15, total 31; Pvt. McMichael, 6 and 6, total 12; Pvt. Newman, 6 and 12, total 18. Sergt. Chandler still leads the com- pany in revolver shooting his total being 32. Iieut. Middleton took a squad out thi moruing after another gablon. The ma- terial for the gabions has to be obtained from the mainland, and the road back to camp Hes by Corgress Hal). The squad brought the material back after awhile, but It was a very much disorganized squad, and they reported that a charge had been made on them by the girls of the hotel and that their lieutenant in command had been cap- tured. Thinking such a capture a disgrace to company C, they at once got into their bathing suits and returned to recover their officer, and they gallantly (or perhaps, un- gallantly) did so, and the camp is now decorated with another gabion. This one has been filled with sand, so as to show visitors how it ts used. Captains Averill and Horton went with a squad this morning to assist in putting up a belfry and the bell: for the Episcopal Church of Ocean City. Four large uprights were put in position, about fifteen feet high, a Platform made upon them, and this after- noon the bell was raised into position by means of a tackle. The bell weighs 500 pounds, and the belfry is a few feet from the church door. This task was not made compulsory, but was voluntary work. There was no signaling done today. Quartermaster Sergeant Freeman has been devoting himself pretty largely (the force of “largely” is easily apparent to all the friends of the jovial quartermaster ser- geant) to his camera, i.nd has taken a good many photographs. There are eight or ten cameras in camp, and they have all been in use, more or less. Lieut. Ruebsam ts officer of the day, Corp. Stevens is corporal of the guard, and the privates of the guard are Privates Lyon, Sunderland and Gustin. The boys are having a good deal of fun out of Sergeants Chandler and Johnson about a couple of fishing lines they have received from some kind friend, who wrote simp! “I thought I would drop you a line—" The boys want to know just the dimensions of the whale they expect to catch. J ——>_—_ DOWN AT ELBERON, A Fashionable “Ball With Pleasant Accompaniments. Correspondence of The Evening Stan ELBERON, N. J,, August 17, 1894, A more lovely sight than that presented by the hotel lawn here last Thursday even- ing could hardly be imagined outside of fairyland, lighted, as it was, with many colored Japanese lanterns and draped with flags of all nations, Over the grass fair women in gorgeous ball gowns wandered with their male escorts during the pauses of the dance, and all “went merry as a marriage bell.” An especially effective fea- ture of the evening's entertainment was a lantern dance given by a number of little girls. Each child carried a light of a dif- ferent color, and in the evolutions of the dance these were made to form a variety of graceful patterns. The company assem- bled on Thursday evening on the lawn rep- resented many of the best-known families of both New York and Philadelphia. Mr. A. Hesse, an attache of the German legation at Washington, arrived at the Elberon Hotel last week to pass the re- mainder of the season. Baron von Kettler, who is also a member of the German le- gation, expects to join him here on Sat- u ys Mr. Oliver Pancoast gave a clam-bake party last Monday. In the afternoon the party assembled on the tally-ho coach and were drawn by Mr. Pancoast’s four spirited chestnuts to Pleasure bay, where the clam bake, with the usual additions in the shape of wines and ices, was partaken of, and then the party drove home by moonlight. The participants in this delightful excursion were and Mrs. Oliver Pancoast, Mr. and Mrs. hn R. Dos nd M, Pangoast "the and Mrs. $evt.

The only fault with the men of the battery is their getting up long before reveille, it is a very good fault (if it is a fault), and it is koped that it will continue. After stables the batery went.to a fine breakfast, after which the cannoneers were put through a standing gun drill with the gatlings, The great improvement in this drill is apparent to ali, each succeeding drill is an improve- ment on its predecessor. Lieut. Griffith had charge of the drill. While the cannoneers were at the guns the drivers were out at a bare-back drivers’ drill, under the direction of First Sergt. Longley and Sergts. Tappan and Marion—the drill was without blankets or saddles. This drill is of great benefit in instructing the drivers as to the proper dis- tances and intervals. Both drilis lasted something over an hour. After the morning drill there was a general straightening up of the camp. Capt. Forsberg was called to the city last evening on account of sickness and business affairs, he returned tonight on the Macalester. During his absence Lieut. Griffiths was in command, thus leaving but one officer In camp. This camp ts not over- stocked with officers. After the morning drill was over the Napoleons were placed in position and preparations were made to fire with projectile. Sergt. Marion having taken such interest in these guns, he was directed by Lieut. Griffith to sight and fire the first shot. It was expected that these guns would not prove very accurate, this being the first time they have been used by the battery with projectile. It is very probable that they have not been fired ‘since the late war, when they ere used pretty extensively. As stated before the first shot was fired by Sergeant Marion; the distance was judged to be 000 yards, s ted accordingly. The shot struck a ards In front of the target, thus show the sergeant’s good judgment. Sergeant Tappan fired the next shot, the projectile failing a trifle to the left. The third shot was fired by First Ser- geant Longley, and it was a little high. Lieut. Griffiths also tried to hit the center ttraction, but he failed to score a bull's- se. ots in all were fired, and con- that this was the battery's first ex- e with p les the practice was extremely good. The size of the target was by six feet. Had the boys been shoot- ing at a house, vessel or body of men there would have heen considerable damage done. More practice ».1il follow both Thursday and Friday, and it is surely expected that the ent target will be frequently hit. Each shot Was an improvement over {ts prede- cessor. The battery has an excellent record in the handling of ammunition. Thousands of rounds have been fired, and thus far without a single accident of any character. This is a splerdid record considering the dangerous character of the equipments, An accident with the guns of the buttery would probably be a very serious one, and constant care and vigilance is >f the utmost necessit No chances whatever can be afforded. Shortly after target practice was con- cluded “for the morning “stables” was sounded, and the noon ration of oats fed. With the good quality and ample quantity of forage fed the horses they are improving in looks, and their work is also much bet- ter. The horses will no doubt be in much bet- ter condition when they reach the city than when they were put in the service of the artillery. Constant attention and good forage will tell to advantage every time. After dinner some target practice, with the revolver was indulged in. The arm used is the colt, 45 army pistol. Some exce' shots were made. The variet: used by the batvery makes it necessary to keep at some Kind of practice nearly con- stantly, to attath any degree of efficiency. At one time it is the gatling, then the Springfield rifle and now the revolver. Had the battery but one arm like the infantry, there is no doubt but that the majority of the men would soon become quite expert. At 4 p.m. the trumpet called the men for drill. This was the dally mounted drill, and the horses were harness- ed and hitched in a commendably short time. While the drivers were hitching the cannoneers were engaged, under direction of their respective gunners, in folding and cing the paulins on the chests of the rs and caisso: As soon as paulins were placed and all horses hitched prop- erly, the cannoneers and drivers were mounted, and at the command of Lieut. Griffith, | “forwar. “right by sections,” “march,” the battery moved off for the drill field. After reaching the drill field, a large number of impcertant and somewhat difficult movements were very creditably executed. At the command, “action front,” the gat- lings and caissons were halted, cannoneers dismounted with alacrity, gun trails car- ried briskly, 180 degrees to the left and the guns were ready for action. Several times the battery was placed in action, and each time it was well done, All movements were executed at the walk, trot and occasionally the gallop. There is no prettier or more exciting arm than that of a field battery, and especially when it is maneuvered at the trot or gallop, the rumbling of guns and caissons over the rough drill field, ex- citable horses, sharp words of command and ihe blast of the ttumpet, makes the drill of a battery bring one to the realiza- tion of what war is. Further improvement was easily apparent in the drill today, tee jally the handling of the teams by the rivers, in fact, all the men performed their GOING TO. Another National Guard Oompany Of for New Jersey, ‘War Department Guards Going to Sea Isle City—The Company, Its Of- ficera and Plans. For the past two weeks the War Depart- ment Guards, company D, sixth battalion, District of Columbia National Guard, have been making preparations to camp at Sea Isle City, N. J., from August 18 to 29 in- elusive. The company has been drilling nearly every night, and in the time men- tioned has made wonderful progress in the practical part of guard duty, while the boys have devoted not a little time to brushing up in the company drill. The start for Sea Isle City will be made this evening at 11:35 over the Pennsylvania railroad. The boys leave the Center Market Armory at 10 o'clock sharp and proceed by way of Pennsylvania avenue to the sixth street depot, where a special Pullman sleep- ing car will be turned over to them. Capt. Wilson’s men will leave Washington in heavy marching order, that is, they will wear the regulation fatigue uniforms, caps, &c., with leggins, knapsacks, rubber and woolen blankets, haversacks, tin cups and web belts. The regulation full~iress uni- forms and helmets, with the white duck uniforms and white helmets, and also the company full-dress uniforms, have, to- gether with the regulation overcoats, been packed and will be shipped as part of the company baggage. Philadelphia wili be reached at 4 o'clock tomorrow morning, and a stop-over of five hours will be made in t city, where breakfast will be served. After a run of one hour and fifty-five minutes from Phila- delphia, Sea Isle City will be reached, and the Ssaken will be welcomed by the Ord- way Rifles, company D, fourth battalion, District of Columbia National Guard, who have been in camp there since the th instant. The War Department Guards will take possession of the present Ordway Rifles’ camp, as the latter organization starts on its homeward journey in the after- noon. The camp is situated in the most beauti- ful part of the little New Jersey resort, di- rect] opposite the Colonnade Hotel, where the boys have arranged to take their meals. Capt. Wilson and his men have been ex- tended the hospitalities of the town, and every one is anticipating a glorious time. Dances and entertainments have been promised for every evening, and during the encampment a grand military ball will be given in honor of the company. Some of the members will be accompanied by their wives and sisters, but no doubt exists In the minds of the others that those without friends will be taken in. Capt. Wilson has secured one thousand rounds of ammunition and several targets for use at rifle practice. In speaking of the coming camp last even- ing Capt. Wilson said: “This will be es- sentially a military camp, in which strict discipline will be enforced, and I propose to bring back to Washington a much better cor pany, from a soldier's standpoint, than I take away, for ten days under canvas makes a wonderful difference in a com- mand. Of course I shall do everything in my power to make the trip pleasant, in a social way, for the gentlemen of my com- pany, and feel sure that with the class of men I have there will be no trouble in ac- complishing desirable results in every way.” The Organization. The War Department Guards were or- ganized in April, 1893, as the third separate company of infantry, D. C. N. G., with over 100 members, They prospered, and when the century mark had been nearly doubled the organization was changed to a battalion of two companies, Since then there have been numerous changes. The original company was at first divided, with Capt. Robert E. Wilson, the former first Neutenant, in command of company A, and Second Lieut. Fitzgerald in charge of company B, but later the two were merged into one, and another com- pany entered the battalion. Company A remained in the third bat- talion until Iast month, when Gen. Ordway transferred it to the sixth battalion, where it is now known as company D. Last year the company went into camp at Atlantic City with the Washington Light Infantry Corps. The Officers. At present the company is without a first lieutenant, but the boys do not seem in any hurry to put shoulder straps on anybody. They are handling this as they usually handle their affairs—in a slow, deliberate and businesslike way, When they find the right man they will take him, but until then they say their two officers can “take care of things. r Capt.

The officers of the typographical union have en- gaged base ball park, 7th and Boundary, for Labor day, September 3, and will also he Convention Hall in readiness for @ com plete transfer of the spectacie from the park to the hall in case of inclement weather, Labor day being a people's holiday, it is proposed that this pectormance shail be in keeping with the day acd the many thou- Sands it is expected will attend. It is with this object in view that the composer and director, Mr. F. N. inn and the local manger, Mr. N, DuShane Cloward, hav determined that the production shail be om the order of a grand military and musical outdoor performance. A remarkable interest is being taken in the affair by the G. A. KR. posts, District militia and confederate camps. As the prop- er rendition of “War ang Peace” will require about five hundred soldiers, the manage- meni decided that these organizations should derive some benefit, and has, In con: equence, distributed about 5,06” tickets among them, allowing the different organ: izations 30 per ceut on all the tickets that they sell. Nathan Bickford, department commander, has issued a circular to the different posts and W. R. C., in which he heartily recome mends the performance and suggests the 30 per cent offer as an excellent means by which the relief funds can be replenished. The first chorus rehearsal will be held tonight ut Typographical Temple, 425 @ street.under the direction of Mr,| Cloward, assisted by Dr, Frank man, FE. D. Tracy, J. H. Hunter and W, A. Domer. Mr. Edward Saxton has bee appointed chairman of the chorus com- mittee and will be in charge of the details pertaining to the orgenization of the chorvs. Invitations haye been extended to the members of the Centennial Chorus, Choral — lim! among ments for the to 300 and will from those attending the first few rehearsals. There is no entrance fee charged, but meme bers are expected to own their books, at @ cost of 25 cents The arrangements of choruses as planne@ by Mr. Cloward will, in addition to the large chorus, require two male cho. one for the northern camp and one for songs of the south. Mr. E. D. his G. A. R. choir, will enthuse of the north, and a chorus of thirty voi selected from the Capita} e soldiers Glee Club, ind Wig Club, and the Columbian Unt ity Glee Club, under direction of W.

The drill lasted about one apd a half hours, and as usual was in fatigue uniform, flannel shirts and cam- paign hats. ‘The great improvement in the driljs as they progress is a matter of considerable Pleasure to the officers.

After retuPaing from drill horses were picketed, they too warm for either feed or water. After allowing sufficient time for horses to cool off, they were watered and fed.

Just a little before the arrival of the steamer a thunderstorm came up, no dam- age at all resulting, in fact, it was quite welcome, as it séttled the dust.
