THE RIFLES ANNIVERSARY.

THE RIFLES ANNIVERSARY.
A pleasant Celebration at Marshall Hall.
One of the pleasantest events in the recent
history of the National Rifles was the excursion
and banquet at Marshall Hall ON Monday even
ing last The affair was intended as com
memoration of the tenth anniversary of the reor-
ranizatiou of the company, and the Rifles took
with them as their guests large party of the
leading business men of the city, honorary
members of the company, and also a numbeS of
the veterans of 1S59t64 The eXcursionsts
went down the river and returned on the Mac
alester. At Marshall Hall handsomely spread
table awaited the party and after only short
delay the attack was made on the tempting
Yiands. After the m6nu had been discussed
Lieut. George w. Evans entertained the com
pany with an interesting and cleverly written
history of the organization from 1889 to the
present time. Lieut.. Evans's recital was frc-
uuently interrupted by applause, and the allu-
sions to dead comrades were received with
touching tributes from the survivors OF the
early days of the organization. Pleasant remi-
niscences of the various outings in different
parts of the country which the Rifles have
taken were interspersed, and the generous sup
port which the organization has received from
its honorary members was fittingly commented
on.
