THE SOCIAL WORLD Where Society and Fashion Will Spend the Summer. EOROPE, SEASHORE AND MOUNTAINS Still the Capital Will Never Be Entirely Deserted. OTHER NEW ‘GOSSIP Summer plans are in order, but it does not follow that every one has a program which will not bear considerable changing be- tween now and the coming of the real warm weather. Practically, society is much in evidence here until after the 4th of July. From that until the 15th of Sep- tember it behooves the truly fashionable to absent themselves from the city’s streets and to be quite to the front wherevet the gayeties are in progress. A good many people would be much more comfortable at home, and they are frank enough to admit it, but a change is generally com- mendable,even if in some things it is rather for the worse. Washington will not be en- urely deserted by the official families, ex- cept at long intervals, all summer, no mat ter how many fashionables leave town. ‘The cabinet families will, however, remain away longer each time they go than was possible for them last summer, but only a few will be gone for good when they start next month. President and Mrs. Cleveland will start fcr their nerthern home, Gray Gables, on cr about the Ist of June. The trip will probably be made In the usual way, rail to New York and the rest of the journey by yacht. Mr. Jefferson and family, the near- est neightors of the presidential family, are already established in their home at Buzzard's Bay. Private Secretary and Mrs. Thurber and family will summer at Marion, as will the Misses Hamlin and their brother, Assistant Secretary Hamlin. The Vice President and Mrs. Stevenson 60 enjoy the peaceful quiet of their home in Blocmington, surrounded by their family end kindred, that the chances are they will remain there most of the warm weather. Where the Secretary of State and Mrs. Gresham will spend the summer will de- perd entirely on the health of the former. Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle have been rarely accustomed of late years to extended absences from the city during the warm weather, and cannot look forward to any such treat this time. Such trips as they take are likaly to be short ones. a; ecretary and Mrs. Lamont are going to est Point in June for the graduating ex- ercises, and the latter and the children ex- pect to be away from this city most of the summer. The early part of the heated term probably be spent at a seaside near New York, and later on a trip to the West may pleasantly fill out the time. Miss Herbert is abroad, and has set no date for her return. Mrs. Smith and her interesting young family are down near Atlanta for the sumer.

The Guatemalan minister and Mrs. Lazo Arriaga have not concluded yet where they will spend the summer, but will probably go to tne seashore first. Chilean minister and Mrs. Gana are fond of this city and remained here: most of last summer and may do so again. The Venezuelan minister and the Misses Audrade expect to go north when the sum- mer is really here.

Mayor Strauss is indignant over the matter, and has summoned Capt. Francis of the chain gang to appear before him Monday morning, when the matter will be thoroughly inyes- tigated. Mayor Strauss, in talking to The Star reporter this morning, said: ‘When I sent that man to the gang I gave orders to have the heaviest and strongest pair of chains and ball put on him, as I knew he was a desperate man. Now, you see how my orders have been carried out. This is not the first time that prisoners bave escaped from the chain gang, as it is a frequent occurrence. There is a screw locse scmewhere, and it will probably be —_ at the investigation Monday morn- ing.”” Police Court. In the police court this morning Mayor Strauss disposed of the following cases: John Rice, charged with assaulting Annie Branton, forfeited $10 collateral; James Scort, for being drunk and disorderly, was Gismissed with a reprimand; three small boys, for stealing flowers from Mr. Rein- acker, were dismissed with a reprimand; a young white man, charged with disorderly conduct, was fined $2.50.

Mr. Gardiner Hubbard's Lecture on Napoleon Before the Men’s Society. ‘The Men’s Society of the Church of the Covenant had the pleasure last evening of listening to Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard's lecture on Napoleon. It was the last meeting of the year prior to the summer vacation, as in place of the regular mect- ing in June an ursion will be given to Marshall Hali, which will be enjoyed by the members of the society and their friends. On account of the great interest in the lecture of the evening, as well as in accordance with the custom of the so- ciety in having ladies present at least at one meeting during the year, the audience last evening included in addition to the members of the society their lady friends. A brief business meeting was held in one of the upper rooms. Prof. Rawson, one of the vice presidents, presided in the ab- sence of the presideht, William Elroy Cur- tis. In the meantime the guests assem- bled in the chapel, where a large screen had been erected. Some pleasing musical selections were rendered by Joseph Cullen and W. G. Collins, banjoists, with Chas. F. McEnaney playing the accompaniment on the piano. Mr. Hubbard, who is the president of the board of trustees, needed no introduction to the audience, and so after a few prefatory remarks from Prof. Rawson he delivered his instructive and entertaining lecture on Napoleon, which was richly illustrated by stereopticon slides of pictures selected from his valuable collection. At the close of the lecture the banjoists rendered some selections,and then refreshments were served and a social time enjoyed. —_ ILLEGAL SEALING. The Work of the Patrol Flect Will Be More Difiicult. The action of the British government in refusing longer to permit the securing, un- der seal, of the outfit and equipment of British sealers, it is said at the Treasury Department, undoubtedly will render the work of the patrol fieet more difficult, as the danger of illegal sealing will be in- ereased; it may also add to the inconveni- ence necesszrily experienced by masters of such sealing vessels. No change, however, in the instructions already given our offi- cers as to searching and seizure will be ne ary, further than to remind them that the failure of a Hrititsh vessel to se- cure her arms and equipment under seal is nut a violation of the Paris award, nor of the British act of parliament enacted to earry out said award. —___--e- BUYING UP READING. A Scheme to Control the Anthacite Coal Trade. The New York World says: The Vander- tilts and their friends have completed a deal of gigantic proportions by the pur- chase in the stock market of a majority of the stock of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. The acquisition of the stock began a month ago, and at the close of business in Philadelphia yesterday it aggregated, it is said, 500,000 shares of a total of 800,000. The possession of the Reading is the prin- cipal part of a scheme for the control of the anthracite coal trade. The process of umulating Reading stock in New York bas been the same as that employed when the Vanderbilts and the First National Bank party sought ascendancy in the Del- aware, Lackawanna and Western railroad. When the scheme is fully consummated the combine will dictate the management absolutely of these four companies: Phil- adelphia and Reading railroad; Delaware, Lackawanna and Western railroad; Dela- ware and Hudson Canal Company, Central Ratlroad of New Jersey. THE EMMET GUARDS They May Enter the St. Louis In- terstate Drill. BAISING FUNDS /FOR THE TRIP A Sketch of the Popular Irish Organization. SOME FINE RECORDS The members of the Emmet Guard of this city are planning to attend the inter- state drill to be held at St. Louis during the first week in July next, and believe that if they get there they will be able to carry off some of the valuable prizes that are offered for competition. They are there- fore making active preparations in order to raise the necessary funds to defray the heavy expenses of such a trip, as well as to procure new uniforms, which are now needed, owing to the length of time that the familiar costumes of green and gold have been in service. The Emmets are now in the eleventh year of their existence as an organization, and have acquitted themselves honorably whenever they have entered any contest. This company is com- posed exclusively of Irishmen or the sons of Irishmen, and is named after the fam- cus patriot Of the emerald isle. They were organized on the 4th of March, 1884, under the command of Capt. Wm, H. Murphy, and are now commanded by Capt. Harry Walsh, who was enlisted soon after the formation of the company. He has been at the head of the organization since 1890 and has always worked hard in the inter- ests of the company. The first lieutenant is Mr. R. J. Harding and the second lieu- tenant is Mr. C. J. Harlow. The latter has won honors on all sides by his wonderful individual drilling. Mr. T. F. McAnally is first, sergeant, being at present the holder of the medal for the best-drilled man in the United States, which he won at the Little Rock interstate drill last year. Capt. Harry Walsh. Capt. Harry Walsh ‘is a- well-known Washingtonian, and is.in-his twenty-eighth year. When, in April, 1884, the Emmet Guard was organized, Capt. Walsh was one of the first to seek admission, but, owing to the fact of his being under eighteen years of age, his election was deferred un- til the following October. From the date of bis enlistment he showed a quick adapta- bility to military matters, and, besides, became universaily popular in ‘the com- pany. As vacancies occurred he was ad- vanced by the choice of his friends. In 1885 he was made corporal, and shortly after second Neutenant., He was commis- sioned first Heutenant in July, 1887, and in December, 1890, he was elected and com- missioned captain. During his connection with the company Capt. Walsh has shown | himself an untiring’ officer, and. the ad~ vances made by his command attest his efficiency. Lieut. Harding. First Lieut. R. J. Harding is twenty-nine years of age, and possesses a soldierly figure and bearing. He gained his military experience from his connection with the company. From the date of his qualifica- tion as first lieutenant he has made rapid strides toward perfecting -himself in all the duties pertaining to the position he holds, and it is safe to say that of all the officers of his rank in the guard none are more aptly adapted to the position than he. Lieut, C. J. Harlow was born in Alexan- dria, Va., about twenty-eight years ago. He enlisted in the company six months after its inception, and since then has served through all the grades of corporal, sergeant and first sergeant. He has taken an active part in many individual com- petitive drills for the past six years, and seldom, if ever, suffered defeat. He had such confidence in his ability and nerve that he journeyed to New York five years ago to uphold the honor of the District of Columbia National Guard, and had the gratification ‘of carrying off the first prize by downing the “cracks” of the New York militia. First Sergt. MeAnnally. First Sergt. T. F. McAnnally enlisted in the Emmets in Jariuary, 1890, was pro- moted to corporal the following September, to sergeant in May, 1892,,and first sergeant in August, 1893. He is a thorough soldier, and largely because of his untiring efforts the company has reached such a high standard in rifle practice. A sharpshooter himself, and also captain of the company rifle team, the organization, through his in- strumettality, has qualified nearly half its membership as sharpshooters. He is the present holder of the medal for the best drilled man in the United States, having won it at the interstate drill held at Little Rock, Ark., in July of last year. Second Sergt. William F. Gallagher, the right guide cf the drill team, began his mil- itary career with the Emmets in June, 1887, and has served as private, corporal and fifth, fourth, third and second ser- geants. He possesses a magnificent phy- sique, is extremely graceful, and makes an ideal soldier. It is doubtful if a better man to take care of the right end of the com- pany could be found in the entire District National Guard. Sergt. Gallagher also has the distinction of being the next best drill- ed man in the United States, having stood second to Sergt. McAnnaily at the drill at Little Rock, Ark., last year. As & part of the effort to create a fund to pay the expenses of the company on the St. Louis trip a. fair or bazaar hag been undertaken, to next Monday be opened evening at 8 o'clock. The plan the fete on a military Sergt. Gallagher. Pleasant Drum Corps will be in attendance, and a host of pretty young ladies have volunteered their services to make the af- fair very pleasant to the visitors. In all’ probability this affair will be the last at which the Emmets will appear in their well-known uniform of old gold and green.‘ These uniforms have seen long service, and the object of this fete is the raising of funds with which to procure new ones. —_—— GROSS SWINDLING CHARGED. Culmination of Allegations Against Greenhut. The culmination of the charges against J. B. Greenhut, ex-president of the whisky trust, and some of his associates, has been reached in a bill filed in the United States circuit court at Chicago by Receiver John B. McNulta. Greenhut and Nelson Morris are accused of having used the funds of the trust for outside speculation of a per- sonal character, in which they met with a loss of $500,000. Then, to make good the losses, they are charged with having con- spired to secure the assent of the board of directors of the trust to the issuance of bonds in the summer of 183. That they sold $1,000,000 of the bonds at 50 cents on the dollar, appropriated the proceeds to make up their losses in speculations and secured possession of $800,000 of the bonds so issued at the 50-cent valuation in order to “milk the trust for the other 50 cents on the dollar, thus giving them a profit of $400,000 on the transaction, besides securing the payment of their losses in speculation. ‘The character of the speculation is not set forth. Besides Greenhut and Morris, there are other defendants to the bill, ex-Directors William N. Hobart and J. Walter Frei- berg of Cincinnati, Lewis Maddux, Ho- bart’s partner, ard Julius Freiberg, Wal- ter’s brother, and the Central Trust Com- pany of New York. ee The Protest to Gov. O’Ferrall. There was a meeting held yesterday afterncon of the committee appointed by Presicent Warner of the board of trade to carry out the resolutions adopted by the mass meeting of District citizens held Tuesday night, under the auspices of the beard of trade, to protest against the gam- bling evils at Jackson City and Rosslyn, in iexandria county, Virginia. After a dis- cussion the committee framed a letter to Gov. O'Ferrall, the main point of which Was to express the readiness of the people of the District to accept and to act upon the governor’s suggestion that they should co-operate with him in procuring evidence against the gambling resorts across the river, and thus aid him in convicting and punishing these offenders against the laws of Virginia. The letter was not in the na- ture of a protest against the evils of Jack- son City. The communication was mailed to Richmond today. Gov. O’Ferrall’s sug- gestion of co-operation was made in terms to the Washington “authorities.” It is be- lieved by the framers of the letter that the District authorities will heartily co-operate in the manner suggested. For themselves, they propose, as far as they are able, to collect immediately the required evidence, and to place it at Gov. O’Ferrall’s disposal. —— The Policeman Scored. A colored woman named Lizzie Simms was given a hearing in the Police Court to- day on a charge of keeping a bawdy house. Policeman McNamee was the prosecuting witness, and he called a colored woman and man to give evidence. Lawyer Carrington, for the woman, proved that she was a hard-working wo- man, and is employed as a servant. The case was dismissed, and Policeman McNamee attempted to arrest the woman for vagrancy because Judge Miller had dis- missed the other charge. Lawyer Carrington protested against the action of the officer, and Judge Miller in- structed the officer to let the woman alone and let her go heme. “When the police run the court,” said Judge Miller, “they may do this kind of business. But let me see officers trying to make vagrants of hard-working people, and I'll make some other people vagrs -ts.” ——.__. A Decision Against Capt. While the U. S. S. Columbia was lying at Kingston, Jamaica, last month there oc- curred one of those little jars which go to make up the standing ill feeling between the line and staff of the navy. The officers being about to receive visitors from the British post ashore, Capt. Sumner appoint- ed committees to entertain them. This is in accordance with the custom, but the captain in his order designated a line offi- cer in each case to head the committee. Surgeon William G. Farwell finding him- self thus subordinated to an officer of in- ferior rank, protested, and being denied what he considered justice by the captain, he appealed the case to the Secretary of the Navy himself. The latter, after examining the matter, has addressed a letter to Capt. Sumner, discussing the subject at length, and concluding that the surgeon was in the right; that in such cases the senior officer, whether line or staff, must head the list, and that the committee must be regarded as similar to a beard of inspec- tion. - A Tour of Inspection. Secretary Herbert will leave this city about the middle of June on the dispatclf vessel Dolphin for a tour of inspection of the navy yards and stations along the At- lantic coast. In addition to the stations on the New England coast visited last year, the trip will include a visit to the station at Port Royal, S.C., and possibly that at Key West. It will take about six weeks’ time to make the proposed cruise. The Secretary will be accompanied by his naval aid, Lieut. Reamey. aS ee ea ees A Copyright Decision. Solicitor General Conrad has rendered an opinion In which he holds that section 3 of the copyright act of March 3, 1891, applies to books which were copy- righted before as well as to those which have been copyrighted since the act. The effect of this opinion, which will govern in all cases arising under that act, is to secure to owners of copyrights, secured prior to the passage of the act of 1891, the same protection as 1s afforded to books copyrighted since the passage of that act. This {s in conflict with the opinion of the solicitor of the treasury. Transfers of Officers. The following transfers of officers are or- dered to take effect at once: First Lieut. Frederic D. Evans, from the twenty-fourth infantry to the eighteenth infantry, com- pany I. First Lieut. James Baylies, from the eighteenth infantry to the tenth in- fantry, company G. First Lieut. Charles E. Taymar, from the tenth infantry to the twenty-fourth infantry, company IL. —————— . ‘The Alarm Rang. Last night between 8 and 9 o'clock bur- glars made an attempt to enter S. Desio's jewelry store, No. 1012 F street northwest, but a burgler alarm attached to a window frustrated the burglars in their bold at- tempt to commit the crime. The sounding of the alarm resulted in the appearance at the store of a watchman from the District Messenger Company's office, who found that the burglar had been frightened away. The alarm had been turned in when the burgiar attempted to open the rear window. AN UNLUCKY ERROR Capt. Domer Turned Two Pages of His. Program at Once,.

CAMP SCHOFIELD, MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 18.—The National Fencibles, since 1892 the champion military company of the Uni- ted States, have drilled in the great Mem- phis interstate contest, and there is not now a mortal in this vicinity, including the Washington contingent, who places the team above fourth place in the race for the Galveston cup and $3,000 in cash. Until the announcement of the judges, ‘Tuesday next, the erstwhile champions will be very nervous and not nearly so confident of success as heretofore. At 2 o'clock yes- terday afternoon the immense grand stand at Montgomery Park was densely crowded, the open seats were filled to sardine in- tensity and hundreds of persons and scores of carriages stood about the field. The fact that the champions would drill had been widely heralded and the attendance was almost double that of the day before, when the local companies drilled. A few minutes before the drills the sun, which had been persistently endeavoring to get the best of the clouds all morning, was successful, and the result was an ideal afternoon for drilling. = The Morton Cadets. To the “High School Cadets’ March” the Morton Cadets took the field for their third inspection and drill. The boys halted before a veritable mountain of faces, but were calm and collected. The drill of the youngsters appeared perfect from the grand stand, but seemed just a slight de- gree below the standard of the exhibition in class B Wednesday. Capt. Shilling saved eight minutes for extra movements, and left the field as the band played Dixie, and the thousands of spectators applauded en- thusiastically. The company was presented with a huge basket of flowers by the Con- federate Veterans. The Fencibles. Atiired in new white duck trousers, new company caps and bleck blouses, with rifles and accouterments in the best possibi> condition, every man clean shaven and wearing the same pattern of shoes, gloves and collars, the Fencibles presented a fine appearance as they entered the field to the “Fencibles’ March.” The sponsor and maids in a dray drawn by four horses preceded the champions. The inspection of the com- pany was rigid to the extreme, but it could hardly have been other than perfect. Bar- ring the inability of one man to draw his bayonet and a few other individual errors, the drill was the beautiful, polished exhi- bition for which the company is famous. Tarned Too Many Pages. At the conclusion of thirty-nine minutes Captain Domer returned his program to the judges, and instantly the military ele- ment among the audience knew that some- thing was wrong. It proved to be, as it developed later, that the commanding offi- cer of the Fencibles in turning the pages of his program had accidentally moved two leaves instead of one. Thus, ten num- bers of the program were omitted and the company scored zero on each. Captain Domer soon realized what had happened and in the six minutes at his dis- pesal for extra movements executed the numbers as near as he could remember called for in the page of the program omitted. Other Competitors. The next company to drill was the Thurston Rifles. Captain Scharff’s men put up a superior drill to their exhibitions in classes B and C, and the team is con- sidered the dark horse in class A, as well as class C. The final drill of the day and also of the encampment in the infantry class under the new drill regulations was by the Sealy Rifles, who made a showy appearance in full white duck uniforms and white hel- mets. The men from Galveston drilled prettily and won the favor of the onlookers, but Capt. Boyd’s interpretation of the pro- gram, as the knowing ones say, will put the company not higher than fifth place. Capt. Domer stated to the Fencibles that their drill was a winner and the accident in handling the printed program is the only thing that can keep the company from taking first prize. The exceilent inspection passed and the execution of the extra move- ments, so the company think, will overcome the omission of the numbers referred to. Many of the boys are dejected over the drill, but the majority are hopeful and light hearted, refusing to surrender before the announcement of the judges. In certain movements Capt. Domer and Capt. Shilling agreed in interpreting the pregram, differing thereon vastly from all the other companies. Both the Fencibles and the Mortons were photographed with their sponsors after drills. What Officers Say. By a queer coincidence Col. Peters, Col. Allen and Gen. Gordon, with whom I con- versed last evening and who had not con- ferred in regard to the matter, all named the cémpanies in class A in the following order: Chickasaw Guards, first; Morton Cadets or Thurston Rifles, second; Na- tional Fencibles, fourth; Sealy Rifles, fifth; McCarthy Light Guards, sixth, and Gov- ernor’s Guard, seventh. The officers men- tioned are old drill experts and watched the contest closely. The Fencibles and Mcrtons do not see how the Chickasaw Guards can possibly take a prize; while the Chicks think the same regarding the Fencibles. It is generally accepted that the Mortons will take either second or third Place in class A, are sure winners of class B and that it is a toss up between the Mortons and Thurstons in Class C. Instead of dress parade last evening the troops of the encampment, with their sponsors in carriages, were reviewed by Col. Kellogg. The Iowa State Band and the U. 8. Cavalry Band were combined,and the ceremony was most pleasing to look upon. The majority of the members of the Washington companies accepted invitations to attend the musical festival now in progress in Memphis. Gen, Schofield’s Arrival. Gen. Schofield and staff arrived in Mem- phis at 7 o'clock this morning, and as they alighted from the train the salute to the head of the army was fired. Gen. Schofield was escorted to his headquarters at the Peabody Hotel by Gen. Snowden, Gen. Kellogg, Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Gordon, troops D and K, third United States cay- alry, two companies of United States in- fantry, 2 company of Confederate Veter- ans and a band. The whole town was out to secure a glimpse of the commanding general of Uncie Sam's forces. This is confederate day in camp. Mon- day will be given over to athletic contests, and in the evening Gen. Schofield is to re- view the troops. The individual competi- tive drill occurs Tuesday forenoon, the sham battle in the afternoon of that day, and after dress parade the anxiously awaked award of prizes will be made. - The Thurston Rifles are booked for the prize of $300 Zor best disciplined company in camp, and they deserve it. What will be the standing of the Fencibles and Morton Ca- dets in the drill is now the chief and con- ‘stant subject of conversation on al! sides. Cc. F.C. PRAISE FOR THE Boys. Kind Words for the Washington Rep- resentatives at Memphis. Special from a Staff Correspondent. CAMP SCHOFIELD, Memphis, Tenn., May 15, 1895. The people are flocking to Montgomery Park, the scene of the interstate drill and encampment. Every day marks a great in- crease in the attendance, and this after- noon the crowd was tremendous and the interest intense. The Washington soldier lads, the Na- tional Fencibles and the youthful Morton ome alty. Speaking of the champions, the Evening” Scimitar says here, has expressed the greatest admiration for the company, as have Gen. Snowden and the members of his staff, Col. Howard of the fourth Maryland infantry, and, in fact, the majority of the many weli-known army, men in attendance. Praise for the Mortons. In its report of the drilis in class B the Commercial-Appeal said: > “The Morton Cadets, that excellent young company from the nation’s capital, which has sprung into almost marvelous popular- ity during its stay in the city, came next upon the drill ground, marching in perfect manner, which manifested the greatest pos- sible self-possession. “Inspection of the Mortons togk thirteen minutes, and the manual which followed was well executed, and in its course the company gave the swivel stack with bay- onets, something which is not often done, though at all times a pleasing feature. Their firing was excellent, the precision of the movements being admirable and at times surprising, and the rise from the fir- ing when lying down proved to be accom- plished in a faultless manner. In the exe- tion of the program their step was exact- ly up to requirements, and their line at all times beautiful. In double quick the cadets appeared to great advantage, their arms swinging perfectly in cadence, and the halt be'ng noticeably good. “Other remarkably good features of their drill were the formation of company from columns of fours and the manual of arms while on the march. Too much praise can hardly be given the Mortons on account of their exhibition yesterday. It was impos- sible to discover a company error, and the individual mistakes were very rare and of little im They are making a highly creditablé record here, and will cer- tainly stand well up in A class, if their Grill in that equals in excellence their work in classes B and C. The Mortons finished the program seven minutes before the ex- piration of the allotted time, and Capt. Shitling put his company through several extra movements, all of which will count in_ his favor.” in the same issue the following appeared: ‘No company in carap is more observant of the rules of self-preservation than the Mortons. They conduct their own com- missary, and it is excellently done, and none of the youngsters seem inclined to frequent the flowing bowl. The regular- ity of their habits doubtless has much to do with the excelence of their drills.” A Long Program. A feature of the contesis for infantry companies has been the length and com- pleter:ess of the drill programs. After un- dergoing a rigid inspection occupying about fifteen minutes, the companies have then Leen drilled constantly for fully forty-five minutes, not a moment’s rest being given. The work of the judges has also been of the most particular nature. The sights of the rifes are always carefully examined, to see if they are elevated to the proper scale in the firings, and Lieut. Chandler went so far Wadnesday as to ask a Morton Cadet the number stamped on the breech-block of his rifle. “No. 109,346,” was the prompt re- ply. It was correct, and the judge smiled approvingly. The programs in classes A, B and C are practically, if not exactly, the same. Camp Recreation. The District lads do not lack amusement. The drum major of the United States cav- alry band from Jefferson barracks is alone worth the price of admission to the grounds to see. He is as straight as an arrow, and in dress parade leads the band up and down the line with a stride and a flourish of his saber that has made him the envy of every soldier in camp. Inspired by the ap- pearance of the musicians at the evening ceremony, the Fencibles have organized a cavalry band, with Private Swigart as drum major and Private Pistel as band sergeant. Attired in costumes that dis- count Hub Smith’s famous country band, and provided with tin basins and dippers as instruments, the Fencibles’ band gives concerts in the company street daily at 11 a.m. The boys are hopeful that before the close of the week Drum Major Swigart will have become as proficient as the cavalry leader in handling his saber. The exhibi- tions are extremely Iudicrous, and never fail to attract the entire camp to the Fenci- bles’ quarters. The Neeley Zouaves are the center of attraction for the Morton Cadets. The Mortons never before witnessed a zouave drill, and during the exhibition of Captain Deffney’s experts Monday every Morton's eye was riveted on the pseudo Turks. Pri- vate Babcock immediately organized a zouave team and every spare moment in the daytime since then and at all hours of the night a selected number of cadets are vaulting benches, firing to the rear and executing other startling maneuvers with creditable proficiency. By reason of the cold weather huge camp fires burn each night in the company. streets, and that fact has been an excuse for the Mortons to hold spectacular Indian war dances at most unseemly hours. The Fencibles have taken the initiative in enlivening drill moments by tossing the colored waiters and venders about camp in blankets. An elaborate system has been ineugurated to lure the unsuspecting vic- tims into the company street. Once within the limits there is no escape, and great has been the fun provided in this way, the tossed ones, without exception, having submitted gcod-naturedly. On Dress Parade. Dress parade each evening Is a beautiful spectacle and is always witnessed by large throngs of people. Heretofcre the United States cavalry troops have not participated in the ceremony, but there has been such pressure brought to bear upon the manage- ment that Col. Kellogg has consented to have the cavalrymen participate in the spectacle hereafter. A great feature of the encempment is the presence of two companies of confederate veterans, wearing old uniforms of gray and drilling according to Hardee's tactics. Every veteran is over sixty years of age, and the appearance of the companics on the field always creates the wildest en- thusiasm. Local interest in the confederate drill Saturday is assuming immense pro- portions. The old men and the Morton Cadets have become fast friends, the vet- erens and the youngsters often being seen together. Monday's Review. The review of all the troops Monday by Gen. John M. Schofield promises to be the most brilliant spectacle ever witnessed in Memphis. The companies will form much after the fashion of the opening day, and every sponsor, together with her maids and chaperon, will appear In carriages. Exhibition drills by the @nited States cavalry troops have recently been intro- duced in camp. The troopers, charging with drawn sabers and slashing and cut- ting down imaginary opponents, present a thrilling scene and are always loudly cheered. The night entertrinments at the encamp- ment are almost as attractive as those providea during the day. The band con- certs are delightful, the military exhibi« tions altogether umique, and the Washing+ ton hoys enjoy them as thoroughly as ce the visitors from the backwoods. C.
