PRESENTATION OF PRIZES The announcement has just reached this city that arrangements are in progress for an interstate competitive drill and n tional military encampment to be held at St. Paul, Minn., next July. The propo- sition originated with Captain Ed. S. Bean, commanding Company B of St. Paul, who became widely known last summer through the medium of his protest. filed against the Morton Cadets at the drill at San An- tonio, Tex. The citizens of St. Paul, it is reported, are giving the proposition hearty support, and the idea is to offer cash prizes aggregating $8,500. It is anticlpated that a large number of companies will compete in the drill, the St. Paul people expecting the Thurston Rifles and Omaha Guard of Omaha, tlie Branch Guards of St. Louis, the Neeley Zouaves of Memphis, the Hale Zouaves of Kansas City, the Governor’s Guard of Aus- tin, the Belknap Rifles of San Antonio, the Sealy Rifles of Galveston, and the Na- tioral Fencibles of this city. “We can assure every one of one thing,” Captain Bean .is quoted as saying, “and that is the decisions of the coming drill will be rendered in a perfectly square and honest manner. The judges will be offi- cers of the United States army, and will be appointed by the War Department. No one, not even the officers of the drill as- sociation, will know who they are until they report for duty. They will draw up the program for the drill to show the effi- ciency of the companies. There will be no ‘catches’ in the program, everything will be carried out in a fair and square manner, and the drilling will not be for the pur- pose of seeing which commander is the best at guessing riddles, but which com- pany is the most efficient.” What is Said in Omaha. In connection with the proposed drill at St. Paul the following statement emanates from the far west, being published at Omaha, Neb.: “The Morton Cadets of Washington have decided never to enter another competitive drill. This decision ts based on what they consider the unfair treatment they re- ceived at San Antonio. It is possible that the Mortons may reconsider their decision in time to be competitors on the St. Paul field.” From present indication it does not seem possible that the Morton Cadets will par- ticipate in the proposed drill at St. Paul or in any other interstate competition for some years to come. It is quite likely, how- ever, that the National Fencibles will again return to the drill field to engage in friend- ly battle for glory and cash, and if they do the Galveston cup will return to the na- tional capital, or Captain Domer will know the reason why, providing, of course, that it is possible to secure the placing of the ceampionship trophy in competition out- side of the state of Texas. As heretofore stated in The Star, it was an open boast at San Antonio last July that the cup would never again leave the borders of the lone Star state under any circumstances. Capt. Charles S. Domer, commanding the National Fencibles, who visited St. Paul in 1884, with the National Rifles of this city, when the Rifles engaged in competition there with Captain Bean's command,speaks very favorably of the prospects of the drill, and says that the section about St. Paul is a good ong to draw from and to attract visiting companies. Little Rock in the Field. It has also been learned during the past few days thet an interstate competitive drill will possibly be held next summer at Little Reck, Ark. This information is fur- nished by a Mr. Whipple, father of Durrant Whipple, a well-known member of the drill team of the McCarthy Light Guard of Lit- tle Rock, who recenily visited Washington. Mr. Whipple says that steps are being taken to hold a drill in Little Rock that will outrank any enterprise of a similar character held in recent years. It will be remembered that a drill was held at Little Rock in July, 189, at which the National Fencibles carried off the championship of the United States for the second time. It was there also that Thomas Arthur Tom- linson, second Heutenant of the Fencibles’ drill team, was crushed to death by a switch engine the day following the an- nouncement of the judges. It was under- stood that the Little Rock drill was a finan- cial failure, and therefore the announce- ment that another drill is contemplated in the city of roses is somewhat of a surprise. It is probable that a reorganization of the Morton Cadets Will oceur in the near future. The intention is to have the affairs of the organization looked after hereafter by a board of governors. Gen. Ordway Homeward Bound. Word has been received at headquarters that Brigadier General Albert Ordway, commanding the District of Columbia mili- tla, will return-to this city about the 20th instant. General Ordway 1s at present in London, and he writes that, although there has not been very much change in his appearance, he is feeling very much improved in health, and is greatly encour- aged by the treatment undergone while abroad. General Ordway has directed, by letter, the erection of a sign at the Ordway rifle range. Within the next few days, with the consent of the National Rifle Association, the sign will be placed in position, some distance to and parallel with the tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad. The sign will be 100 feet long and sixteen feet high. On a background of black, in white letters, six and a half feet in height, will be the in- scription, “Rifle Range of D. C. National Guard.” Directly beneath the foregoing, in a single line and in letters six feet in height, will be the foliowing quotation: “For a people who are free and propose to remain so. a well-organized militia is a necessity’’—Jefferson. Presentation of Prizes. Unless something unforeseen should oc- cur to prevent the distribution of prizes to the winners of the matches at the recent meet of the National Rifle Association will be made next Wednesday evening. It is the intention to have an appropriate as- sembly in Convention Hall and formally present the prizes to the winners. The fact that orders have been issued for an assembly, drill, dress parade and review of the 2d Regiment Monday even- ing in Convention Hall may perhaps inter- fere with the arrangements for Wednesday evening on the ground that it may not be feasible to order out the commands both Monday and Wednesday evenings. The matter has not yet been finally decided. The National Guard Band will participate = the 2d Regiment assembly Monday even- ing. ‘The prizes offered tn the matches have been collected and are now on exhibition in the windows of the establishment of R. Harris & Co., corner 7th and D streets. It is stated by an official of high rank that in view of the presentation ceremony several dress rehearsals of the Engineer Battalion are to be held, particular atten- ticn to be paid to saluting with the hand, rifle and sword. This precaution is to be taken, it is said, in view of certain criti- cisms that followed the presentation cere- mony a year ago. Practice in the Gallery. The rifle gallery at the armory will be open for voluntary practice throughout the month of December. The preliminary match between company teams, as usual, will occur In December, the regular match being shot in January. The gallery will be open every evening next week to recruits enlisted since April 1 last. An inspector of rifle practice will furnish instruc- headquarters directing the members of Company D, 4th Battalion—the Ordway Rifles—to assemble at the armory Tuesday evening next at 8 o’clock, for the purpose of electing a Successor to Capt. J. M. Wil- Nams. It is understood that First Lieut. Anton Stephan will be elected to fill the vacancy, and that Sergt. Hodges will be chosen to succeed First Lieut. Stephan. Practice March and Signaling. Company D, Engineer Battalion, former- ly the Second Separate Company, will start on a road march this evening with Fort Russey as the destination. The company will return to the armory tomorrow even- ing. During the outing signal practice will eccupy the greater portion of the time. First Lieut. Robert D. Weaver, who has just returned from leave of absence, spent in New York, will be in command, owing to the inability of Capt. Wiggin to partici- pate in the march. The quarters of this company are being refitted and beautified, and it is the inten- tion to hold a smoker next week. Discharged for Various Reasons.

Duties of Capt Slocum. Adjutant Geueral Heyl today forwarded to regimental, battalion and company com- manders the following extract from special orders: “Captain Herbert J. Slocum, 7th United States Cavalry, having been assigned to duty with the militia of the District of Co- lumbla, is announced as special inspector and instrvctor in drills, ceremoni@s and dis- cipline.
