Col. VIM. G. Schreiber has prepared
| circular letter, which will be sent ou
| this week to business men of Los Ange
lee, particularly to such as have in theil
employ members OF tle guard. 1t is tt
be hoped that our business men will dc
ali in their power to aid in maintaining
the Seventh on good footing.
The letter in question is as follows:
"The approaching encampment of the
Seventh regiment, S. G. Co.. commenc-
ing August 18th, and lasting for ten
days inclusive, will be one of vital in
terest to the maintenance of the regi-
ment on proper footing.
"Citizens having in their employ
members of the regiment are respect
fully, but earnestly, solicited to do all
in their power toward facilitating. a
good turnout of the command, by Civ
ing the said members in their employ
leave of absence during the specified
tour of duty.
1.-THE National guard is the militant
arm of the state for the preservation of
peace within its borders, and for the
safety of the lives and property of the
citizens in times of public disturbance,
Ii.
citizens and sagacious business men are
earnestly requested to do all in their
power toward maintaining the local
regiment on a good footing as to effective
membership.
The battalion drill by companies A, @
and + at the Armory of the Seventh was
largely attended on Wednesday night,
and the men made a most creditable
showing, both as to numbers and
efficiency. There was marked in
crease in attendance over the preceding
week, and it is hoped that there will be
tull attendance out next Wednesday.
The prize competition drill of Co. b,
at their armory, Pasadena, on Monday
night, was largely attended, and Colonel
Schneider and Captain Black of Ventura
acted as judges. Sergeant Coleman was
the winner in the nom com. contest, and
Private Morton in the contest among
the men. The Hurlbut medal was pre-
sented to Sergeant Coleman and the cit
liens medal to Sergeant Case, the two
latter having been won in the recent
competition at the Arroyo Seco range.
The Signal corps gave well attended
and enjoyable whist party in the parlor
of Co. G. on Wednesday night.
AhO hhChOCip VA W. Il gave u QdQC-
ing party and reception to their friends
in -Armory hall on Friday evening,
which was we'll attended. The boys and
their guests spent the evening most de-
llghtfully.
Colonel Schneider left for Ventura last
evening to confer with the citizens there
in relation to the proposition to provide
funds for the camp there. Long Beach,
Redondo and Santa Monica are ali
anxious to secure the camp.
There is some prospect that the Ninth
regiment will locate their camp at the
same place selected by the Seventh.
The Signal corps will not go into camp
this summer, as headquarters could
make no provision for funds. This Is
unfortunate, for the corps is the best in
the state.
Company commanders are putting in
plenty of time on squad drill, and with
good results. The boys are very inter
ested in the new regulations, and are
determined to make record.
The officers and men of Companies
A. G and F are arranging for another
sham battle and rifle practice at San
Pedro in the near future.
Company A is ready to receive a
limited number of recruits who are we'll
