Tho Il. i. Naval Reserve.
Following the suggestion OF Assistant
| Secretary OF the Navy j. IL. Soley, Gov.
Brown has named several dates in Sep
| tember when the naval reserve company
| of Bristol could 90 on the men of war ut
| Newport for four days drill, aud the men
| have bcen under orders since Aug. 20, ex-
| pecting TO be ordered OH duty mt any
| time. No word, however, has been re-
ceived from the navy department. as to
hoped and expected that word will be re-
ceiyed soon, 20 that the naval boys may
get the practices before the squadron
leaves Newport During tue drill the
company will be transported from Bristol
to Newport and back each day by tug.
The boats which were called for by
Gov Brown for the Naval Reserve Com
pany ut Newport will arrive IN n snort
time, but IL will be too late for the com
pany to 10 on drill this fall.

sociatiou will nold their first regular
monthly meeting after the summer vaca-
| tion, next Tuesday evening. Plans for
an excursion will Ue discussed and COM
mittees appointed TO look after the
matter. There has been talk along back
| of making Norwich, Conn. the place Of
| The excursion aud 10 ~ probable that the
Association will decide To 20 there unless
some other place is suggested more favor
abe TO the nienbers.
n. 4. 4. Excursion.
Now that the First Light Infantry
Regiment has decided To 40 To Hartford
| on their annual excursion IL remains TO
get enough OF the BOYS to make IL an OBJ
| ject @ 20. There is considerable enthu-
| siasm over the proposed trip, but so far
the companies are not very Iull, and un-
| less they turn out In good numbers the
excursion will not bc made. There is still
some hope that way will be found to
| take the militia To New York, Oct. ~, aud
| Gov. Brown il anxious that this should
| he done, bu. taus far there Is very little
| encouragement.
