COMPANY e.

| pany.
Company E, of the First Regiment NJ:
N. G., was formed in May, 1882. Since
that time it has steadily increased in
numbers and in popular favor, and while
it makes no pretensions to being a.
'crack" company, it holds its own both
| in point of numbers and military disci-'
| pline with any of the other state COM.
| panies, and its members evince the
| greatest enthusiasm in the drill and I'M
the camp. William Blakely was the
| first captain of the company, which po-
SitiOn he held until his appointment as
| lieutenant-cOlonel of staff about year
ago. Capt. w. W. Price, the present.
captain, succeeded him. When Capt.
Price took charge, the company was not
in very good shape for the reason that.
the terms of many of the Old members
had expired and it became necessary to
| fill up the ranks with green hands. But
! through dint of jealous action on the
part of men and officers the company to-
day is first-clasS in every respect, its
bills are all paid and there is money in
the treasury. At present there are six
| ty-five names on the muster roll. The
1 company drills every Tuesday evening
at the armOry.
THE OFFICERS.
Capt. W. W. Price is young man but
tWenty-three years OF age. lie was
born and raised in st. Paul, He was
first lieutenant of company E for five
| years before his promotion. He takes
| live interest in everything pertaining to
militia matters and the success and
standing of the company are in large
measure due to him.
| Lieut.. Mott is one of the oldest men
in the company, as well as the most
popular. He is a handsome man of
medium height and carries his sword
like Russian duke whenever he gives
command" He is bookkeeper in the
| Second National bank and during car
nival times captained the FlambeauS
most creditably.
Lieut.. Clarke is a ladies' man from
the word ''go," but he can't help that,

bull -eye, if he is close enough to it,
ten times out of nine. He is engaged in
| the real estate business with Rush 3.
| Wheeler.
Sergt. Chatfeld is a tall, well-built
and good looking young man. He is re-
garded by all as the ideal first sergeant,
which position he fills with most becom-
ing dignity.
Rodney Kellogg furnishes the fun for
the company. His jokes are always
fresh, which cannot be said, in truth, of
Rodney: He has a peculiar step, and
finds it hard work keeping up with the
boys at drill. This can be excused in
him. for he is married man with
large family.
viii Bregg is possessed of rather
| sober turn of mind. Though he wears

married. In the absence of the first

bashful in his way. He is always OH
hand when assessments are made.
Sergt. Maj. Knowles, the secretary of
the company, rose up from meek and
lowly private in the rear rank by steady
and deserved promotion to the giddy
