LOUISVILLE LIGHT ARTILLERY.
The Louisville Light Artillery, Battery A.
Kentucky State Guard, was orgarized in 1874,
and has maintained itself as an active Organt-

since. Their first entry in a competitive drill
was in September, 1879, where they gained
second prize at the st. Louis FAIR Association
Were defeated at Nashville in May, 1880, as it
was claimed, owing to the unserviceable equip
ments furnished. In May, 1881, they returned
to the Nashville competition and captured the
first prize $500, in regular drill, as well as IA
gold medal for target shooting. In June, 1884,
they took first prize at the Masonic celebration
IN Louisville, and at the same time won gold

were awarded second place at the Indianapolis

with a score OF 93 27 against 81 10 of the Asbury
Cadets, who took first place They also show a
blue ribbon for first prize at the Kentucky en-
campment of 1880, at Crab Orchard. The bat

of 1873, in the Breathttt county trials of
lS79S0; the Catlettsburg mob. in October,
1882, and the succeeding Carter county trial of
Neal and Craft, in February, 1881. Besides,
they have often rendered police duty during la
