put the Seventh on thelf metal They do not desire
that the Fifth shall shine the only representative
OF this city, and consequently they are now voting
upon the proposition to go to the capital Colonel
Clarke yesterday expressed the opinion that the
vote so far did not justify any effort towards q
participation In the inaugural ceremonies, and
consequently 1t Ia not at all likely that any city
regiment other than the Fifth Will be represented.

delegation OF property owners opposed to the
erection OF an armory for the Seventh regiment IN
day on the subject: The impression upon their
minds was that the object Of the bill offered for that
purpose Is to take the entire square The Colonel
explained that the intention was to take but
small portion OF it-250x300 feet
The friends Of the movement claim that the sur

regiment there Will have the effect OF attracting
visitors to the square and making it popular Sum-

whether they would continue to oppose the scheme
but Colonel Clark thinks their opposition will not
be 80 strong. The regiment has been backed up by
an immense petition, signed by many hundreds Of
the taxpayers; but the property owners in the
immediate neighborhood claim that 1t should have
no weight, as the signers OF the petition do not
own property affected by the proposed surrender
Of the square. The plan Is to build the Sixth ave-
nue. front of the armory three four stories high,
to be used by the respective companies the rest OF
the building to be one story high and to be used as
drill room. The estimated cost OF the structure,
which il Is proposed shall be erected by the city, Is
$500, 900. The scheme or the Seventh Is a very
pretty one, but 1t is doubtful If they can success
