The man to whom the question was
put thought it hadn't, and the first
speaker continued: Il believe it means

Britain, prevalent there for the last TWEEN.

the change that has gradually come over

greatly needed.
The London business man goes about
the city at this season in black silk hat
and black worsted coat, costume that
is utterly unsuited to this climate, but
that was once more or less adhered to by

a TAMMANY REGIMENT
Talk or Such an Addition 60 the National
Guard Of the State.


A movement has been started by some young
mon in the NarrsRansett Club which may re-
suit in tho forming OF Tnmmany regiment Of
the National Guard. There always have been
great number OF Tammnny men In the Ma
tional Guard perhaps q larger proportion OF
the National Guard are Tammany men than
County Democrats, Republicans. or Mug
wumps. Dr. Coffee, who is one OF the members
OF the Narragansett Club, started 1t by suggest
ing the raising OF o company from the NOM
brrs OF tho Narragnnsett Club to serve in the
Twen,y-second Regiment. This regiment has
q new armory on the Boulevard in that dis
trIct. Al first the idea was taken as a Joke.
but 1t aftorward came TO be considered ee-
riouslyand 1t was found that 1t was practicable
to raise the company. The officers OF the regi-
meut, though, did not like the Idea OF having a
company raised and mustered In in that way;
They were willing to accept the members OF
the club as individuals, OF couise, but they
emily organized from the other companies OF
This suggested the idea that a regiment
m,gSs DO formed BY raising companies from
the liifercTt Tammnny Hall socnl clubs. Each
OF the twehty-Sye districts has some Kind o. Q
political organization. About two thirds Of
these social Organizations have regular club
in thor own membership mon Of all ages, but
the bulk OF the members are between II and
3d. TIE young men o OF the di1 Iie VINO are
There nre several thousand members in
these clubs; enough TO form several regiments.
Not that many would care to Join, but " 10
thought by tho promoters OF the scheme that
enough young men would care to Join to form
one regiment to be known ne the Tammany
Regiment OF the National Guard. This would
not bo its official title but 1t is the name by
which 1t would speedily become known. There
in the civil war they did good service. It was
not intended to draw off any OF the Tammany
mon from the other regiments OF the National
Guard but simply to organic new regiment
out OF tho members of these clubs. Where
there were not enough of a club In one district
mem hers OF two clubs could DO united. This
would make enough companies to form the
regiment. II would help the social life Of the
young men, and thoy would enjoy bong with
their neighbors and friends more than with
men from other parts OF the city.
