On examining the invitations to
the June Ball, which indeed are very
unique and beautiful in their get-up,
we notice that only the names of
those who entered the class of ’BS as
midshipman are on the committee.
Why is tSls? In answer to the in
quiry we Mill give what in substance
was giv*#le. There are in the class v
of ’BS tswiw-one cadets who enterod
as mjj)sl}4>yEen and nineteen who en

the engineers five.—
tThis the Jefigiueers would not agree
to, and jralch dispute arose between

ChsßuJhjlty ruled, and the midship-
Lda nice little class meeting j
all rfe tfejemselvea and arranged mat

The Corh#!t Jland Hop.
The hop given las,t night by the
Annapolis Cornet .Bind at the Ar
mory of the Governor's Guards, was
a great success both ip a social and
financial way. Th,e bhnd will realize
by their efforts
which goes towards assisting the
band in procuring new instruments.
It should be a pleasure to our citizens
to encourage thislaudable enterprise of
our young men /whenever an oppor
tunity offers. They have now become
one of the fixed institutions of our city,
and will be a means of affording a
great deal of pleasure and enjoyment
to our citizens in dispensing sweet
music during the summer evenings,
as we ler. r u it is the intention of the
band to give occasional open air con
certs during the summer.
A Hood Ch nee for our Young Men.
An exchange says, “an autograph
letter of George Washington was
sold in Boston last week for sixty
dollars. The young man who wrote
it got but seventy-five cents. There
is but little justice in this world.”
Ye idlers of Annapolis who want
to make money go ahead. We sug
gest to you the original letter of
George Washington, in the Senate
Chamber at the Capitol; make sixty
dollars easy by sending a copy of
this letter to Boston. Wake up young
man to this new use of autographs—
go to work—here’s a chance to make
money.
Our Public Schools.
The public schools of our city are
in a most flourishing condition, and
scholars in all the departments are
maki jg rapid and satisfactory progress
as far as we can learn. Parents
should, by ail means visit the schools |
occasionally, aud see how nicely they
are conducted. Their presence at
times is very encouraging to the j
teachers in their work of training the
young. •

words, disqualifies the applicant in all
other examinations.

THE STEAMBOAT <|IJENTIOIV,
Annapolis , May 20, ’B4.
Mr. Editor:
I notice in the Capital of the 23rd
iust., an article on “A new Departure
—an Annapolis Steamboat.” This
is a matter that should concern every
merchant and business man in Anna
polis. An attempt was made some
years ago to bring about just such a
movement, but for the want of proper
management it was allowed to fall
through. I have always contended
that Annapolis should have her own
steamboat,, and have never changed
my opinion. I hope you will con
tinue to agitate this matter through
the columns of your interesting pa
per, until you awaken an interest in
our people to this end. 1 would sug
gest a meeting of the merchants and
business men of our city be called,
and the matter discussed. lam told
that the Maryland Steamboat Com
pany considers this as one of her best
paying routes. Freights from South,
West, Rhode and the Severn rivers
and other tributaries of our county
during the fruit season, are more
than one boat can accommodate.
Now if a foreign corporation, can af
ford to run a steamer here at a pro
fit, I don’t see why Annapolis cannot
do the same. The effort I think is
worth trying at least, and I am sure
the investment would soon be a pay
ing one. Not wishing to encumber
your space further (for I should like
to go more in to the particulars of
this subject) I will here say,
More Anon.
