TALK ABOUT DRILLING UNDER THE SAME ROOF
CROSSES FOR THE SEVENTH.

TALK ABOUT DRILLING UNDER THE SAME KOoF
CROSSES FOR THE SEVENTH.
The proposition which was made at the meeting OF
the Arinory Board the other day by one OF the meh-
bers Of the board, that the list Regiment SHOULD Do
housed I'm the Sth Regiment Armory until the now
home OF the former organization should be completed
has caused little breeze In both Of these regiments
Colonel Scott told the writer yesterday that he had
not heard anything further about the proposition from
brigade headquarters and he did not think that any
thing would come OF It, In the meantime the mem
bers of Colonel Greenc's command anxously look
ing around for place in which to drill during TIE
coming YEAR The 18th Regiment certainly has fnc
big armorv which cannot possibly all be put in use
By the small number Of men In the organization. In
the summer months 1t might be practical economy to
have the two regiments housed In the same building
From the reports OF the number OF men present at the
drills OF the 18th Regiment it would seem TINT both
regiments might drill IN the same arnory also Win
little or no discomfort to either.
The monthly meeting of tie Veteran Association OF
the sth Regiment will be held at the armory tomorrow
evening 10 complete arrangements for the celebration
Of the anniversary Of tho departure Of the regiment
for the War OF the Rebellion. Tho celebration will be
held I'm AprIl At the annual Meeting of the associa-

Colonel Seward's men are already making prepare
tIg.s for the season at the state Camp. IL Is not
known As vet whether the 9th will open the season
at PcckskiI not. but IL is thought that there Is
possibility Of its doing Considerable Interest Is
also felt In the camp thi, season. for the reason that

Tr,op and the 9th Regiment were there and the TWO
concentrations got along exceedingly well together
