The New-YOrk Hussars is the name of com.
pany of young men of this city which its organiss
ton to the efforts of Cyrus W. Field IT, L. c. Wilton.
Thomas Manning and others. who determined some
months ago to form q crack volunteer cav
airy corps, which should correspond In some
measure to the City Troop Of Philadelphia.
1t was originally intended TO partake OF social
than Of military character and forthis be
an entirely Independent body The project eagerly
supported from the beginning and the nst appearance
In public Of the troop made at the last great Re-
publican parade of the late campaign. when they
much complimened for their appearance and skin In
maneuvring. Strong pressure was brought upon
the officers OF the troop In order TO induce
thcm to become part Of the National Guard and though
this was not in conformity with the wishes Of many Of
the members, 1t eventually decided upon as being
the best to pursue. Those who objected TO 1t
the ground that would tend somewhat TO destroy
purely social character of the troop quietly withdrew
and at meeting held to consider the matter the consent
was thereby rendered unanimous.
In order TO form portion Of the National
Guard II is necessary for any volunteer mii,

At "A meeting held on Friday nighi an Interesting
question which led 10 sharp discussion. Among
the present members OF the HussaTs are TWO heDfews
men OF settled social position aud influence who have
many intimate friends IN the troop Each OF these pro-
