At the solicitation of the management oi- the drill, through its secretary, I corresponded the department at "Washington ior the purpose of getting the necessary authority to use the apparatus of one of the stations under lay control, in this district, for the purpose of glvinsr a practical illnstratioa of the of our service to the great number of strangers who-wonld visit our city, as well as to our OTTO, citizens, the majority of -whom. are entirely ignorant ot the raethocl and principles upon it is conducted. This letter, in -which I transmitted tae letter from secretary of drill, with strong recommendations from. myself, brought in answer the granting of the authority requested.

I so reported, and stood subject to the instructions of tlie management: of drill as to time and place that I should have the performed. I have no personal conscientious scruples In the position I occupy, in relation to giving this exhibition on Sunday, as has been decided, believing it does not come under the usual categorv ol amuse ments often given on that day.

In concltislon. I beg leave to submit, that if there are many who would like that exhibition to be given a a day or two, and if suitable arrangements can be made, I will assume the responsibility of detaining lor that period the apparatus, and willingly give the exhibition ajsuin to those who, for any reason whatever.
