in the Battery.
Major Geary of the Second Artillery has
been drilling some sixty students of the
Cogswell Polytechnical School, with the
ultimate object of mastering them in as
cadet company attached to the regiment
The apologizer states that SIT is understood
there is a great deal of rivalry among the
different regiments as to which they shall be
attached" This is a gratuitous assertion
The First would not swap its cadet COM
pany under any circumstance; the Fifth
cannot well have these attached to it be-
cause already well sprinkled about in the
matter Of companies, so that the rivalry, if
any, must be between the Third and the
Second
Captain Charles Hagan of Company B
(San JOSEF of the Fifth has issued an order
drilled twice week. nor will they be per-
mtted to enter the ranks until they can
pass creditable examination in the school
of the soldier. Here is an idea for the
Oakland companies, which have been filed
with recruits lately before they knew how
land Tribune. Yes; and such an "awk-
ward squad" is wanted in the San Fran
cisco companies, in which, aside from those
in the Second Artillery, the ranks are and
have been filled with those who do not
know, and others who will never know,
that to step ont with the left foot is the
proper caper.
A suggestion worthy of consideration is
made by the Oakland Tribune in the follow
ing: Now that headquarters are in Oak
land and the field officers of the Fifth will
be here frequently why would it not be
good idea to have the drill nights of the two
companies of the Fifth Regiment come on
the same night, so that the men can be to-
gether for battalion drill without ncon-
venience? The matter could be arranged
very easily, and as much good would result
it is worth trying at any rate.
