When the Governors Foot Guard of Hart
ford, Conn, visited Portland last year, they
l,,o,~b+ NTH tbo,, oava,aI IF tbosa mon as
guests whom Connecticut has delighted to hon.
or with the highest gifts she was able to bestow.
These gentlemen felt highly gratifed at the
invitations since the Foot Guards occupied q
position in the State almost singular in the
history of military organizations. Their record
identified them with the history of their coun-
try. They were bound up in it and were in
separable from it,. The command was compos
ed of the men that make city; that give it
life, push, progress. The Brown Light Artil
lery, a young organization, in reality in its in
fancy received these gentlemen and upheld
the credit of the Forest City for hospitality
for refinement and intelligence, in a manner
that would have deserved well of maturer com
mands Our leading citizens united cheerfully
with them, representing as they did the flower
of her youth, in the entertainment of their
guests. Now the Artillery are about to accept
an invitation from the Foot Guard to return
the visit and tomorrow will see them on theil
journey.
On this occasion besides the Artillery, ther'
will accompany the command many invited
| guests. In addition to those we have
already mentioned we may add the name Of
Major General Chamberlain and staff, Adju-
tant General Beal, Inspector General Lynch
and Col. Perkins, of Gov. Plaisted g staff, Hon
Josiah H. Drummond Mayor Libby, Judge
knight, ex-Mayor Walker and Major Charles
Walker, of Charles Mclaughlin & Co., These
are but few of the many who are expected
and, it is hoped, that during today, all who in
| tend going will either inform Sergeant Russell
| at 1876 Commercial street, or send word to thu
| armory in the evening.
The command will leave the Eastern Rail
road station at 100 a. m. promptly, tomorrow
morning. The invited guests will be escorted
| from the Preble House at $50 a. N. sharp
| Breakfast will be served on the train soon at
ter starting by Robinson, the well known cater
| err, whowill also furnish lunch at IL 80 q. m
| The train will arrive at Hartford at 1.30 p. m.
and the battery will be escorted TO the Ally
House by the Foot Guard. After Dime
there will be parade. This is all that is thu
far known Of the programme The batter,
will have two uniforms; their regulation will
white helmets, and their full dress with new
black helmets and fountain plumes.
This will prove, or We shall be much mis-
| +abon ono of tho N, CT aniovahIa y,,iItaru ov
cursions ever undertaken by Portland corr
| pany. Old friendships will be cemented, new
ones formed, and the two cities bound all tn
firmer together in the bonds of good fellow
ship.
Tonight the Artillery will be inspected a
their armory by Adjutant General Beal an
Inspector of Rifle Practice, Col e. G. Earring
