Brant is to be | promoted to a captaincy, vice Captain | Barry, promoted to major in theadjutant- | general’s department. Lieutenant Brant entered the military academy from Ohio, | July 1, 1869. He became second lieutenant | of the Twenty-first Infantry June 13, 1873, | was transferred with the same rank to the | First Infantry August 7, 1879, and was | promoted first lieutenant of the first in- | fantry February 20, 1884. i First Lieutenant Robert H. Noble, First | | Infantry, was relieved from duty at the | | Benicia barracks last week and reported to the regimental commander at the Pre- sidio for temporary duty and with a view 10 hisappointmentas regimental adjutant. First Lieutenant Richard E. Lacey, First | Infantry, was detailed as judge advocate | of the general court-martial, vice Lien- tenant Noble, rglieved. Colonel soofe has entered upon the discharge of his duties as chief quarter- | master ana depot quartermaster at San | Francisco. On last Tuesday he visited Fort Mason and Angel Island. | Major E. Godirey of the deventh | Cavairy is visiting tuis City and is at the | Occidental. A yery elaborate schedule of athletic | sports for the men at the posts is being | prepared and from this a selection will be maae each month. The next fieid day is announced for Friday, the 19th inst., at | the Presidio. i | " For some time the officers of the De- | partment of California have been expect- | | ing the new infantry drill regulations, | but it appears that they are not yet ready to be sent to the printer. A Washington paper says word has been received at the Var Department that General Ruzer has decided that itis advisable to further re- vise some details of the battle, or open- order, formations. The communication from Governor's Island stated that all other parts of the revision were ready for the printer, and that these could be ‘sent to the War Department at once. General Ruger asked 10 be informed whether he should forward to Washington such parts of the regulations as were completed. Just what details of the open-order formations General Ruger wishes to go over are not known at the War Depart- | ment. Noris the department advised as to how long it will be before this work is completed. Secretary Lamont has in- formed General Ruger that as it is his urpose to submit the infantry drill regu- ations to the commanding general of the army when they are receivea here, and as | it is preferable, all things considered, that the entire system rather than sections of it should be laid before General Miles, it is desirable that the revision in a com- plete state be forwarded here as soon as possible. Therefore, officrs must be prepared for further delay. Itis learned that General Ruger is anxious that the revised regula- tions should reach the War Department at an early date, and that he is giving zeal ous atténtion to his important laborawith H A.OVERSTREET logic and rounding out their arguments in preparation for ‘their battle of words. These three men are Harry Overstreet, '98, a student in the college o! letters; Charles E. Fryer, '99, who is taking a course in the social sciencss, and A. C. Marks of the law college in San Francisco. The gues- tion which they will discuss is whether the present centralized system of educa- tion in France is conducive to the best in- terests of that Republic. A feature of the contest will be that the speakers who are to participate—three ‘from Berkeley and three from Stanford— will not know until a few hours' before they mount the platiorm what side of the case they are to speak on. The smides which the young collegians are to uphold are assizned by lot, sothat it is possible to bave both Palo Aito men and Berkeley speakers talking on the same aspect of the subject. uch interest is manifested in the out- come of the contest, as the medal went to Berkeley last year, as did also the honors of 'thi’ intercollegiate. Tuough'Stanford deteated B rkeley on the gridiron in the last meet the wearers of the biue and gold hold the honors of logomachy. The threé speakers from Berkeley have this end in view. But the general “does not intend to neglect thoroughness. The labor before him is difficult ‘and serious, | and hefis periorming it with his accus- | tomed regard for completeness and accu- | racy as to details. It now seems imposs | ble to predict with any certainty how soon the regulations will be turned over to the nter. . Probably within thirty days therealter they will'be ready for issue to the service.
