NOTES.
The engineer corps held its monthly meeting
Tuesday evening. Lieut.. Averill made a re-
port upon the library. and stated that $50
books were now on hand. as we'll as several
sets of maps. &c. Lieut.. Graham gave notice
of arrangements for rife practice for the enci-
nj was lnnl r1
der No. 16. 1t is probable that an increased
| number over last year will take up regular
practice and with determination to male
good records. 1t was decided to make the ex-
pertinent Of having headquarters open each
week day evening In January. An attempt
was made to reconsider the action of the corps
In regard to the cycle platoon. which seems TO
be misunderstood. but as a number had left for
rifle practice the movement failed for want of
a quorum.
Company A. first battalion, has lost its first
lieutenant, ". N. Arnold. but the first battalion
has gained an adjutant. Lieut.. Arnolds sue
cessor in the company will almost surely be
Second Lieut. keough. but there cannot be any
election to fill the minor vacancy for some time
yet. Recent general orders prohibit election
! OF officers SO long as a company is below the
minimum i'll numerical strength. COMPANY A
has been doing some judicious pruning of late
and when it has recruited up TO the mark will
be one Of the best in the brigade. Its present
available material Is of the most soldierly and
satisfactory quality.
1t is questionable whether there is in the
guard a buster man than Candidate Sergt Mai.
Dunn. Gen. Ordway engaged hlm as drill in
structor for the regimental schools of officers
(made necessary by the new tactics), and the
veteran has done remarkably well. For more
than two score years he has been an expert in
structor, most of the time in the marine CORPS
One of the benefits which will follow his teach
ing Will be the easy conveyance OF his metho Is
to the companies. Officers who have never had
the advantages of scientific instruction popu-
larry impaired now know just how the thing
ought to he done.
Maj Pollard. inspector general of rifle prac-
tice, proposes TO meet all the inspectors of rifle
practice at least once a month. This month
he would like to see them at the rifle gallery
on the evening of Saturday, the 3Oth. and he
will probably send each one personal invita-
ton to be present.
Light battery A il now CHARTERED in the
Ward building on Sd street. This will be the
most comfortable of armories in "a little while.
Troop is satisfactorily settled in its new
home i'll the Center Market armory.
