many men in tho ranks that memorable a
sion. The command assembled At the armory fol

mand the regiment as he proposes to retire next
spring from the service. after having commanded the
regiment for q quarter OF a century. Tho review by

One OF the interesting features OF the parade In
Washington, the occasion OF the Inauguration of
President Harrison will be the appearance In the pro-
cession of the famous eth Regiment Of the New-iork
National Guard. All the men are anxious TO go, and
there Is doubt that the regiment Will have full

auguration of President Harrison. Possibly the en-
tire regiment will Co.
