AN IRISH BATTALION PRoPOsED-THE PREsI-
DENTS HORSE GUARDS.
At the last regular meeting of Company B,
third battalion, District national guard EN-
met Guard), the following persons were elected
to active membership: Joseph Coxen, Patrick
Kelly, VIM. +. Smith, Thos. ]. Dalton, John A.
ConnOr, Phil A. Ryan, Matt T. Lynch and
Patrick DAILY. Five applications for active
membership were received and referred
to the recruiting committee. 1t is re-
garded as probable that the membership of
the Emmett Gl.ard will be limited to sixty on
the active roll. The company has decided to
give its annual ball on New Year eve.
A strong effort will be made this winter by
the Irish Americans in the District national
guard to form an Irish battalion. The leaders
in the movement believe they will be success
full.
The proposed cavalry troop is now almost
fully organized. More than thirty young and
active men have signed the roll. At a prelimi-
nary meeting held at the national guard head
quarters it was decided to name the troop the
Presidents horse guards.
GEN. oRDwAY's PREDICTIONS.
Eyes, We did make a pretty good showing"
said Gen. Ordway in response to STAR re-
porter's compliment ON the appearance of the
District national guard on Thanksgiving day.
But he continued, 1--WE will do better than
that on the 4th of March if the weather is
reasonably fair. By that time we shall be more
numerous and better drilled. Every company is
now engaged in wedding out the men that have
blocked progress. and as q natural consequence
better material is coming in. expect our in
fantry forces will be increased during the next
three months by the organization and muster
ing in of the department battalion-one COM
pany from the State, War and Navy building,
one from the Treasury, one from the In
terror. and the fourth from the
government printing Office. The artillery
will have their battery complete long before
inauguration day, and the hospital corps will
be on duty with their stretchers and ambu-
lances. The signal corps men will also be in
possession Of their flags. Our first troop of
cavalry will be equipped and mounted within
boys will do honor to the guard; they are first
class material. Altogether, expect we will
have fully 2,000 men in line, and you viii find
it difficult to point out any superior body Of
equal size in the inaugural parade"
