Military Mites.


| The event of the past week in military
circles was the annual muster. which took
place at the Armory Monday evening
There was large number of people, inter
ested lookers-on. The companies all looked
well. and turned out with pretty fall ranks
Although Companies B and E were placed
at disadvantage on account of the former
being without arms. having loaned them
to the Stockton companies 10 suppress the
war on the Moquelumnes grant, and the
latter (E), being a new company, is not
fully equipped vet, on account of lack of
funds, there was less friction during the
review, inspection and muster than is usual
on such occasions. The officers were well
up in their business, although We noticed
one old veteran Captain march past in re-
view without saluting the reviewing Off
Ger, his head in the clouds General Carey
and staff were present, and also Colonel
Tobin, Assistant Acknowledgement. The
general appearance of the companies, men,
armories, etc, were commented upon favor
ably, and the inspection was q very thor
ough one.
The examination of Lieutenants Lowell.
Carroll and Wiseman, of Company B, and
WelnStock, OF Company A. as to their quail
hcatlonS for Lleutenants, passed off very
satisfactorily These gentlemen seem to
be DESTROYS to know their duties well. and,
If they persevere, will be an acquisition to
the Board of Officers. Ex-Sergeant Plant,
of Company G, has been appointed Quar-
termaster-Sergeant on the regimental staff
The water has receded from the shooting
ranges, and the practice will be quite lively
turing the summer months. The 500
yard range is being removed to more
favorable location and on higher ground
The crack shooting companies will have
to look well to their laurels if the field and
staff team commence to practice Such
shots as Guthrie, Mckee, Rivett, Neary,
Miller and Plant are hard to beat if they
practice diligently If successful at 800
yards, there will be a contest ere long be-
tween the team and Colonel Ranlett's
crack team Of the Fifth Battalion
In few weeks there will be drill of
non-commissioned officers, followed BY a
street-drill by the regiment.
Some of the regimcntal officers con-
template paying visit to Woodland short
ly and Colonel Tobn will probably ac-
company them. Captain Spencer has been
recruiting his company quite rapidly, and
has it well III hand
Company C of Nevada City, Captain
Rapp, and Company + 81 Woodland, Cap
tain Spencer, were mustered on July fth
The muster-rolis, as handed in to the
Inspector Major Hubbard were found to
be in better condition than those of last
year; but Companies \ and have some
members whose oaths have never been for
warded to headquarters.
Captain Kay OF the Cadets is recruiting
his company and in a few weeks expects
to have his full number
The Court-martial for the trial of deln-
quents meets July 2Sth, Captain White of
Company G presiding. The Board of Ex-
amlners for non commissioned officers con-
sists of Captain Neary, Adiutants and
Lleutenants Weinstock, Lowell Lowell and
Sheehan. In future all newly appointed
officers must appear be-
fore the Board at stated meetings and be
examined as to their qualifications for the
positions to which they have been APP
pointed. This in itself will be a good
school, and will be beneficial to both ex-
aminers and examined. Great care should
be taken by Captains of companies to carry
none on their rolls except active men, and
all who neglect to attend drills should be
brought to trial before the present Court,
which meets on the 28th. Captains of com
panies are acting for the State when they
make returns of percentage at drills, pa
Tades, etc, and their reports should be ex-
act and accurate.
