ment left the armory the lady was unani-
mously elected an honorary member Thereof
an honor for the first time accorded to any
woman. Lieutenant Stafford, OF Company
e, was startled during the evening when
his company was formed into two, the
command of the second falling to his lot
at battalion drill, and although he was all
over the floor occasionally, towards the
close of the drill he was getting well
warmed up to his work, and some of the
movements were getting TO be as familiar
to him as the figures of a qaad-drW
An election for Captain and First Lieu
tenant of Company +, Woodland. takes
place next Saturday evening, April 4th the
terms of Captain Spencer and Lieutenant
Myrick having expired. General Cosby
and several of the regimental officers will
90 over, and the company will be inspected
| Major Mckee will conduct the election.
Captain Rapps company (C), of Nevada
CITY, will be the next company visited ana
will no doubt be found in tirst-Class condi-
ton.
CAPTAIN Stevens Company A, is getting
his men well in hand, and has six new
propositions on the bulletin. He will be
likely to accommodate any of the Bay COM
panies who desire to drill with another
during the encampment.
Captains should Immediately prepare a
list of men who Will be able 10 attend the
encampment. and insist on their regular
attendance at the weekly drills There is
no credit in taking a company TO camp
which cannot at least march well and exc
cute the simple movements OF the company
drill in GOOD Stvle. such as wheeling
fright and left front into line, :" ON right
! into line" ETC. either from columns of
/ fours or companies. Each company should
| also have enough men-at least fortv-to
| command the respect that numbers usu-
ally do.
Captain Whites company G, looked well
! at the last drill, and drilled we'll also. If
I it had a dozen more men in the ranks it
would look like its old self The double
cross belts unqueStionably make man
lool, more soldierly than the single, and G
knows this. The old friends Of this com
! pany-and it has many-should rally to its
J many field, staff and line officers have
| graduated. II has fine lot of men at
present. 1t simply wants few more
! Captain Cooks company, B, is getting
| ready for camp; and, judging from present
! appearances, he will have q company OF
| which he may be proud. This company
| holds the right of the line in the city, and
| grace it, but Captain Rapp will have that
! honor in camp, leaving the next post OF
honor for 3. Lieutenant Carroll has his
battery squad in working order. The men
| are well disciplined, present a soldierly APP
! pearance and understand their duties.
| They handle the 12-pounders at a lively
rate The social club OF this COM
pany has a salutary effect on its
| members. Some of the boys meet il the
! in a beneficial manner. The coming camp
| is the topic of all, and stories OF past camp
| life will find an eager crowd of listeners.
| BY the way, we have it on good authority
| that private Naughton of Company g, in
| tends to camp with the boys this summer.
| This alone ought to ill up the ranks of his
company, as he is the life of the camp.
Captain Weinstock's company, Z, will
within year, if the members resolve to
attend regularly, be a body that the other
companies will be pleased with. The COM
! pany almost filled the street the other
night and marched well, and when the Of
! ticers have a little more practice the COM
pany Will be found in its proper
place in battalion eyolutions. 1t is
! improving rapidly. and although the battal-
ion looks broken when in line, on account
of the lack of uniformity in dress-coats,

/ belt and helmet, II will be great improve
ment. 1t IS rumored that all the companies
| OF this regiment will be ordered to wearthe
double belt at camp, and believe it Will
tend to make 1t the most soidierly-looklng
regiment IN the division. The various
J squads OF Company Il will have competl-
! tive drill on the 1st Of April. An effort viii
be made to have the date OF the encamp-
| ment changed so as not to commence uHtli
after the 9TH Of July. Controller Dunn
! would probably not allow warrants to be
| drawn for service rendered until after that
date. Up to the Fourth is busy time in
| Sacramento, and il would be a difficult
matter to turn out the full strength of the
/ companies prior to that time. The regi-
ment would also be lost 10 the parade on
the Fourth, which would not suit Sacra-
mentans at all.
