Making Arrangements to Visit the

 After the Sarsfeld Guards were drilled at the armory last evening by Lieutenant Gala han, the members of the company were call ed to order in the elegant parlor of the com pany by Captain Keefe, who reported the progress of the arrangements that are being made for the visit of the Sarsfelds to New Orleans in acceptance of the invitation of the Continental Guards. No definite action was taken in regard to the proposed trip as replies have not been received from officers of some of the most desirable transporta- tion lines. The enthusiasm that was mani fested at the very full meeting last evening indicated a desire to visit New Orleans and the exposition, and it is probable that Cap tain Keefe will make such favorable ar engagements for the trip that the company will decide to 20.
