SECOND BRIGADE.
Some of the Things That VIII Be
Noted at the Muster.

The following. clipped from the San Diego
Sun, will be interesting reading for all from
General Dickinson down to the latest
recruit: civilian Miller, Color Sergeant
of the Ninth Regiment, n. 6. c., returned
from San Francisco yesterday, where he has
been for the past three or four weeks enjoy
ing a vacation. Sergeant Miller is one of
the fayorite members of Company B, and
while in San francisco visited a number of
the company drills in that city. He states
that the membership of the Golden Gate
companies does not compare with the per-
sonnet OF the San Diego companies, and
that their drills would appear Ike the
maneuYerS OF awkward squads by the SIDE
of the movements of the San Diego COM
uaneS." Comment is unnecessary, though
it would be some satisfaction to know what
awkward squads were visited, and, at
the same time, to have the burning question
settled, who is William Miller?
The jenkins column of an evening paper
now paws some attention to matters mill
tary-army aud National Guard-and this
was one of the notes: The Oakland CON-
panies of the Fifth Regiment, n. Il. c.,
were presented their well-earned trophies
last MONDAY evening Adiutant-G General
Alien, Colonel of the regiment and Lieu
tenant-COlonel OConnor CT the Third
were present and made some stirring
speeches calculated to fire the breasts of
the gallant Fifth" Not alone the com
panieS named, hut also the band II the
regiment and the company of the Third
were awarded badges. The presentation
was on Thursday evening, the Goth ult. Ad-
ju tant-General Allen is not Colonel of the
regiment and never was, but Brigadier
General Allen is Adjutant-General of the
State OF California. There's nothing like
facts.
Tie evening jenkins announces that ''the
contest for the colenelcy of tie First 1nfan-
try, \. G. G., wakes hot and fierce" and the
Queens HusSar heehaws over newly dis
covered clique" concerning which it is said
that strong as the clique was, however, it
did not dare 10 make its objection public
ana the LieUtenant-C0lone Will receive the
eagles that he deserves" There is as much
Foundation for the clique statement as there
IS Tor the next by the dlscoverer of imaginary
eliqnes, that "the Third Regiment, Colonel
Il. T. Barry, has now the brigade right of
line" Colonel William Macdonald OF the
Second Artillery was commissioned Colonel
on May %, 1889, and Colonel Barry on jan
utry IS, 1890 SO that, as might be expected,
the @ HIS formation Of brigade line is
all off.
10 a later order concerning the muster
and inspection General Dickinson has drawn
the attention Of officers and men TO the fol-
lowing points: The appearance, neatness
and fitting of uniform, absolute silence in
the ranks, and steadiness of the person
while being mustered and inspected. In
speeding officers will note tae raising of
hands, talking, shutting Of the feet or turn
ing of the body, and from such observation
the rating as TO discipline will be largely de-
termineh.
The fifth annual drill and exhibition of
the Boys High School Cadets, to conclude
with dancing, will take place at the Mechan-
les Pavilion on Friday evening, May Sth.
The cadets are attached to the First In
fantry Regiment, \. G. G. The feature of
the exhibition win be The observance of
"A Day in Camp
Appointments in Company Petaluma)

as follows: Corporal Benjamin Phillips to
be Sergeant and PriYates y. Cassidy, A.
NJ. Adams, {. F. Douglas and George Put
nam to be Corporals.
In the Second Artillery the following ap-
pointEents have been announced: Privates
Charles Nethrrbee 81 per cenU and james
Thompson $50 to be CorpOralS of Company
q, ana l.. Rngen (90) of Company c.
On dit that Colonel Barry will heuceforth
require all non-commissinned officers If the
Third to have qualified as marksmen. What's
the matter with the commissioned officers?
Regimenial orders announces that after the
1St inst. headquarters of the Fifth Infantry
will be located ut Petaluma.
Sergeant jor George w. HOsmer of the
Fifth has been discharged. No cause given
in orders.
There's more trouble in store for the First.
