 Notes.
 The military exercises at the armory last evening consisted of guard mounting, re- view, battalion drill, dress parade and pre- sentation of marksmens badges. Taken al- together the exercises with the accompanying music of the Second regiment band of twen- ty-one pieces, which was led by J. P. Stack, formed an attraction that was very interest ing to those who have any military inclina- tion or gre fond of military display. Seats were provided for ], 1000 persons, and judg ing from this number the attendance was es- timated at 1,50O.

Rudd, Commissary General E. S. Cross, Assistant Adjutant General George M. White, Colonel J. T. Fairman, Paymaster General w. T. Fenn and Execu- tive Secretary s. O. Prentice.
 The appearance of the battalion during the review at parade rest and in passing the re- viewing stand by companies was very credi- table. Several of the brigade officers who occupied seats at the reviewing stand com plimented the men for fine and steady march ing.
 The battalion drill in full uniform made a better appearance than the previous battal- ion drills at the armory, which have been in fatique uniform. This drill was by ten companies which were commanded by the captains and first lieutenants.
