erenttimes to the State and to the city of Ioboken.
and to show its appreciation the latter is now
building a fine armory for the regiment, which
will be the finest armory in the State. The uni
form of the commissioned officers is the same
that of the officers of the United States army,
cept that gold epaulettes worn i'll place OF the
shoulder knot and white aigrette plume, instead
of the regulation feather plume The ftlll-dress
uniform OF the rank and file is gray coat with
black facing and gold cord, white duck pants,
black shake, white cross belts and epaulettes,
very similar throughout to the dress uniform of
the Seventh New York.
The battalion, which pardded yesterday. con-
sisted of about go men. and will be accompanied
by the full Governors Island United States army
band. Since the Introduction of rifle practice
three yearsago the Ninth has enjoyedihe envihble
reputation of being the shooting regiment -
having with its resimental team held the cham
pionship of the State, and its individual members
having won all ofthe badges offered by Governor
