Elizabeth daily monitor. [volume] (Elizabeth, N.J.) 1868-1880, 1869-09-03


Chief Keron, with his officers, COM
menced making arrangements for the
first annual target excursion of the po-
lice force Of this city. The men were
pleased with the idea, and accordingly
an organization was effected with Will
liam M. Shipman, as Captain, Peter
McGurn as First, and John H. Fadde
as Second Lieutenants Other officers
were also elected, which at the time
were published in the DAILY MONITOR.
The men at once subjected themselves
to severe drill-practicing two and
three afternoons each week, until final
ly when yesterday rolled around, they
marched through our streets with the
steadiness of veterans. The execution
of the manual of arms was all that any
one could reasonably expect from men
not accustomed to the use of heavy
rifles. 6f
At half-past-seven o'clock the Guard,
headed by Manahan's first band emer-
ged from Market Hall, and marched to
the depot, attracting the greatest atten
ton, by their neat and quite soldierly
appearance. The music was soul-in-
spring, and cannot be excelled.
Amid the acclamations of the hun
dreds who had assembled to witness the
departure of the Guard, the las train
left the depot, arriving at New Bruins
wick, in due course of time, being met
at the depot in that city by Chief
james NJ Guise, with squad of po-
lice. Htu
Mayor Grier of Elizabeth, and DR..
Janeway, Mayor of New Brunswick,
Judge Tenney and Councilman Schulz
theis, of our Police Committee, Coun-
cilmen Lyon, Dockry and other digna-
taries were assigned carriages, in wait
ing, which leading, the procession took
up its line of march, passing through
the principal streets, and reaching
Roupp's ground-a classic spot,-the
excursionists partook of luncheon
prepared by the foresight of Chief
Guise.
Captain Michael Behan, of the New
ark police, Captain James l.. Bodwell,
chief of the Railway police, and Captain
James M. Guise, chief of the New
