or three days. The boat could then be
taken to MeKinney's or Tahoe City,
after which a pleasant march of fourteen
miles would bring them to Truckee,
where cars could be taken for home.
There viii be sufficient funds to make a
trip of this kind, and they need not be
gone longer than eight days. The scenery
| would be something never to be forgot
ten, and the experience gained would be
| in the right direction for National
Guardsmen. The trip from Placerville
| would be somewhat dusty, but the ever
varying scenery would keep the men
from dwelling too much on this discom-
fort.
AS matter of course the dress uniform
would not be taken along. The men
would have to travel in light marching
order-fatigue uniforms, overcoatS, KNAPP
sacks, blankets, eanteeRs, haversackS,
etc., cheap leggiags and slouch
hats. 1t would be something novel to
hear the thunder OF the morning and
evening gun from BIS six-pounder rever-
berating along the crags of the Sierras-
something never before heard there un-
less the "Pathfinder' awole the echoes
on his way to the coast years ago.
NEXT SATURDAYS PARADE.
The next parade of the military will be
| on the occasion of the Presidents visit,
May I'd. The field and staff will turn out
IlOunlSus he DdII6Iy Will uT0 Il Sd1uIt
at the depot grounds when the train is
crossing the bridge, and the march will
be promptly taken up for the Capitol.
There should be a very large turn out of
the military, and the companies will
leave the armory for the depot at 1880
sharp. Company + could come from
Woodland on the early train and leave
for home at 1880 the same morning if
they desired to do so. No doubt large
delegation from Woodland will come to
the city on that day and F could act as
escort. All officers ON the retired list in
this city and staff officers of the division
are invited to turn out with the escort by
the commander of the brigade. Adjutant-
General Allen and Colonel Murray,
Colonels Wright, Laine, Majors Sheehan,
Neary and Wallace and Captain Dalton
and others will no doubt swell the escort
TO quite an imposing caValcade.
j. ID. Gllchrist, of Company B, Seventh
Infantry Los Angeles, has been trans
ferred to Company G., of this city, and
Captain Hall is to be congratulated on the
acquisition, as the gentleman, in addi-
ton to being a splendid shot, will ma
teriaAy strengthen the company in other
respects. He is a brother-in-law of Gov
ernor Markham, and is an attache of the
Executives office.
The Brigade Commander has been
ordered to preside at the examination Of
field officers of the First Artillery by the
COMMUNICATIVE Chief.
Samuel A. Smith, of Company A, and
+. d. Van Horn, of Company E, have
applied for the positions of Orderlies on
the Brigade Staff. They will rank as
Sergeant-Majors, and wear the cavalry
uniform. One will act as guidon bearer
and the other as trumpeter of the bri-
gade.
Major Gett is said to be Jealous of the
reputation acquired by the Signal officer,
Major Sherburn, and is circulating the
report that the latter is about to join the
regular army. The presence of a re-
cruiting Sergeant gives color to the re-
port. If the regiment decides to go on a
tramp trip this summer the Brigade Staff
viii be ordered to take hand Tor foot
rather) in it, and Sherburn can then have
his revenge on GGtt.
