vwno$;r~ - auoo~u
of the Fourteenth Regiment was held
last Monday night for the purpose Of hearing
from - 1ifferent companies on the Hartranft
fund tus>h.r. The fund Ii growing rather
slowly Ia Doth local regiments although each
expects to send the full amount Of 81 per man
by the last Of this month.
COMPANY g, Eighteenth Regiment made .
most creditable display last Thursday night,
acting as escort for the Pan-American dele
gates. Forty men and three officers were in
line. Battery also came in for considerable
praise tor its work on the wharf the same even
ing. The drills OF the battery IN loading and
firing the pieces are very pretty and most
interesting to outsiders.
TEE trouble between Captain Schmidt, Of
Company A, Fourteenth Regiment, and head
quarters, on the rife practice fund, has been
amicably settled, and as q consequences Com
pany A will loom up with quite list Of quail
fed marksmen. Things looked rather squally
in this direction for . while, and Captain
Schmidt vowed he would not take . man on
the range until he had gained his point A.
Communication from General Wiley TO Colonel
Parchment ended all further discussion and as
consequence Captain Schmidt wears bis usual
placid smile.
THAT the Second Brigade Examining Board
means business is evidenced by the following
order: sAn election to fill the vacancy in Com
pAny F, Eighteenth Regiment, occasiOned by
Q. F. Snyder having been adversely reported
upon by the Brigade Military Board, win be
held at the armory Of the company Wednes-
day, November 90" Mr.. Snyder was Second
Lieutenant Of Company F, and after having
been elected to the First Lieutenantcy by the
members of the company, went before the Ex-
amining Board last month for . commission.
Many local members Of the Guard have been
laboring under the impression that after an Of
fcer obtains his first commission no further eff
fort is necessary. but the action of the Brigade
Board in the case of Mr. Snyder should effectu-
ally change any such ideas
