The Figures of Two Mustcrs of
the Second Brigade.
A Convention Of omcsrs-General ortou's
Indorssmsnts-Distribu Of Service
Kedals-Captain Keene's Record

Everyone who knows anything about the
National Guard of California knows that
numerically speaking itmakes its best show
ing on the annual muster and inspection.
For some reason, the showing on that occa-
sion is accepted as a basis By which the
companies are ranked in the matter of
merit. Perhaps the occasion is given undue
prominence and Importance because the
figures are borrowed for the Adjutant-
Generals report to the Governor before the
sessions of the Legislature, and again to
the War Department, as q basis again for
apportiOnment of the Congressional appro-
priations for the support of the National
Guards of the States and Territories
But whatever may be said on that subject
as against the better record furnished by the
figures of attendance of COMPANY during
the drill season OF eleven months in the wear.
the fact, nevertheless. remains that every
nerve is always strained to make the best
possible showing on muster and inspection.
There is always a general clean up of the
"pa per soldiers" who during the year are
generally accounted for under the head of
absent with Leave" and who before the
great day are disposed OF in regimental
orders by discharges under the equally con-
venient head of Removal" though as a
musto, VI laSb III Tic StcdttT DunDer OF
cases they may have never given thought to
the subject OF removal, and would not re-
move, even If they were disposed to do so.
1t has been known of captains, who
having available members temporarily
away. having sent on their fares with the
injunction and even prayerful request to be
present at muster. In short, the showing
made on muster and inspection must be ac-
cepted on the whole as the best which the
N. e. G. can make on extraordinary occa-
sions, and for this reason comparison has
been drawn in the snbjoined figures of the
muster and inspection of this and the year
before. 1t must be remembered that since
July, 1883, another company has been added
to the Second Brigade in the Third lnfan-
try, and in all ten to the division, account
ing for the lalter's gain as shown for the
year 1890
As regards membership on paper In the
Second Brigade, the First Infantry shows a
slight gain, considering the cadet comp any
OF not and rating it rs an organization of
eight or seven companies; the Second Ar
tillery shows slight loss of membership:
the Third Infantry, with an additional
company gain and the Fifth with six COM
panles, slight loss in membership, as well
as in attendance at muster, the Second max
ing slight gain in the latter. The number
present and absent, the membership and
the percentage are shown bv the following
table. three of the bands not being included
in the muster of 1889, because under arrest
at the time. the first line of figures being
those of 1890 and the second of 1885, and the
NTH row showing by companies the number
lacking from the maximum authorized
strength.

CONVENTION OF OFFICERS.

The board of officers of the First had
consultation on Friday evening concerning
matters which will come up for action this
evening at the annual convention of the
officers of the National Guard. The con-
veptiOn will ask for the usual appropriation
for the maintenance OF the guard, which will
be less than that asked four years ago. be-
cause the COMPANIES have in manner been
uniformed and there will be no increase of
the force. Amendments to the laws, rules
and regulations will be offered, but the all
| important question will be the matter of
holding an encampment OF the division dur
Ing the summer OF 1891.
Regarding this convention wonderful
amount of Ignorance las been displayed by
officers in the interior. The Major of
northern battalion, whose battalion would
never perhaps have seen the light Of day
but for the friendly help aud concessions
made by the association, complained that it
