The question Of the health of Major

division who desires to try his mettle in
pedestrianism or eQueStrianism he will
Cheerfully waive the question Of rank.
Were it a question Of health hiudering, he
would feel in duty bound to resign his COM
mission and allow a more active man to
exercise command.

will be against such an encampment for
tie main reason that such mroads have been

In the new drill regulations as originally
proposed. and the Fifth Infantry has been
excused from paraulng IN this city. The
six COMpRn eS Of tie latter will parade IN
their respective localities. The companies
have not advanced sufficiently in the drill
regulations 20 warrant entering cOmpeti-

manders have not been over enthusiastic on
this subject.
The battalion formation in regiments has
not been perfected. and hlnGereC against

doubt whether there Is such Il thing as q
brigade dress parade, and, rs before stated,
il would have been hazardous TO attempt

would have been the competition ana the
brigade review. and the Second Brigade is
not fool enough to rush in where angels

HIGH TIME To DISBAND.
It's time for the Second Brigade 10 be
disbanded. The Daily Republican Of
Stockton, taking up the editorial cudgel
against some published comments on The
Third Brigade. strikes back As follows:
"Whla san Francisco may have some clever
people connected with tie National Guard,
iu the event Of riot Or-SeTYiCe Of a similar
nature the country regiments OF the Ma

men TO order 10 face the rioters, and for OBJ
YIouS reasons. II Is only those who have
resided 10 large cities during the time OF
labor troubles who can tell how utterly use
less are troops who are IN sympathy with
the rioters"
