The battalion was equalized into four
companies, and was reviewed by Mayor
Hazard. The tactics were according to
the new drill regulations, and the men
acquitted themselves in most credit
able manner. Lieutenant Collins was
especially pleased at the efficiency and
neat appearance of the companies OF
the regiment.
The musical programme, given under
the direction of Sig. Dion Romandy, was
of high character and was heartily en-
joyed by the large audience. The affair
was quite success, and was certainly
the best muster in the history of the
Seventh regiment.
Colonel Russell attended in citizen g
clothes and watched the inspection for
little while. During the day an effigy
was made and displayed out OF one of
the windows of the armory. 1t was
afterwards buried and stone was
