The Second Cavalry has for some time been
in camp at Milwaukee, where its members have
received most thorough drill from most compe-.
tent teachers. IL now numbers 1,15J men.
gathered from all parts of the Badger State, as
will be seen by referring to the names adopted
by the various troops above.
Col Washburn is well known rs the late
member of Congress from Grant county, Wis
consin, and formerly largely engaged in the
lumber trade. He is in every way well quail
fed for his present position, and to his exer
tons IN Il great measure may the success and
the perfect organization OF the Second Cavalry
be attributed. He is a member OF the celebra-
ted Washburn family, one being the Governor
of Maine, and one member Of Congress from
this State.
Lieut. Col, Stephens has for many years been
a professor Of small arms. and is well known
author of manual of the sword. He gradual |
ed in 1887, at Winsor Castle, as one of the |
America in 1912, and gave instructions in the |
use of his favorite weapon in Philadelphia.
Lieut.. Col. Stephens is supposed to be one Of
the most consunate swordsmen in the world.
If he teaches the sword exercise to the Second
Cavary-and we understand he has for some
months made it his business-if they do not
exercise tie secessionists somewhat when they
get among them we are much mistaken.
The commissioned officers Of the command
were entertained at the fremont House last
evening in the most hospitabo style, Messrs.
Gage Brothers and Drake serving hem with an
excellent repast after which the Milwaukee
Light Guard Band treated the hosts to seran-
ade.
The Regiment is accompanied by Miss Ella
4 true daughter of the regiment
As to the destination Of The regiment it is
for US to speak. Suffice it, they
will not remain in Chicago for any length of
ime. The band and the members Of the Mil
yaukee Light Infantry depart for their home S
his morning. having, it is to be hoped, enjoy c
ID their visit to our city, and being fully pre-
Jared to make good report Of their usage
