Admiral Brown, after inspecting the cadet quarters and school buildings, re viewed the battalion of cadets, who swung by him with the faultless lines and snappy manual which obtain at Culyer even during the short and rather informal summer ses sion. Several hundred visitors, mostly cot tagers from around the lake, were present during these exercises and later accompanied the admiral to the broad veranda of the Lake View Hotel, from which point of vantage he reviewed the cadets at boat drill. He expressed himself as pleased aad astonished at the proficiency acquired by the naval cadets in the short summer ses sion. The cadet band was stationed on the veranda and rendered a concert programme during the drill. The reception and ball given in honor of Admiral and Mrs. Brown by the naval cadets last evening was doubtless the most brilliant social event in the history of Lake Maxinkuckee. Over 300 guests were pres ent. The ball was opened with a very unique and beautiful cotillon figure, led by Major and Mrs. Gignilliat, and participated in by cadet officers and their partners. The figure made a very realistic representation of a foul anchor, complete in every detail. even to the ring, the stock, the flukes and the rope twined about the shank. The effect was most pleasing and evoked a storm of applause. The figure was very prettily closed by the cadet officers forming an arch of clashing swords, under which all couples passed for the grand mach. The dance cards for the evening appropriately bore the admiral's flag with its two stars. The decorations in the ballroom were also nautical in suggestion. Admiral Brown this morning gave the cadets a most Interesting talk on the "Training of Officers and Enlisted Men in the American Navy." Some of the prominent Indianapolis people present at the ball last evening were: Mrs. John R. Wilson. Mr. Vajen. Mrs. Collins, Mrs. Vöries, Mrs, Ogle, Miss Robinson. Mrs. L.
