COMPLIMENTARY BANoUET
rendered the Montgomery Guards
by the Veteran Association.

The Montgomery Veteran Association is
formed of the past members of the company,
and naturally takes keen interest In the
welfare Of the company. The recent COM
petitive drill stirred up the sympathies Of
the veterans in way that they hadn't been
stirred before for years, and when the be-
loved Company G carried off the prize, the
enthusiasm Of the veterans knew no bounds.
They, or some of them were the boys who
made the Montgomery Guards the Maine
champions, and they wanted to do something
for the boys who helped to keep it in that
position. After thinking the thing over,
they decided that q banquet to the victorious
squad was the only proper way to adequate
ly show their appreciation of their efforts.
Arrangements were at once started on foot.
and tonight the banquet will take place at
the United States Hotel. 1t deserves to be,
and doubtless will be great event for the
military of the city. The committee having
the banquet in charge is as follows Hugh
F. McDonough, chairman; James A, O'Neil,
Michael A. Scully, Daniel Desmond. Thomas
j. Murphy.
All persons who are to participate are re-
quested to be at the armory at 8 O'Clock
