imously resolved That they desire
to make their grateful acknowledge
ments to Mrs. l.. w. Reid, manager,
and to the other ladies who, in conjunc-
ton with her, so kindly, industriously
and with great sacrifice OF comfort,
time and labor, undertook, managed
and brought to a successful termination
the lae May Festival for the benefit Of
the company that the hopes of the
command have been more than realized
in the matter of profits, the amount Of
which will materially assist it in remov-
ing the financial burden resting upon
the organization, and put it in such a
position that it may indulge the rea-
sonable hope that it will always be a
source of pride to the people of Alexan-
dria; that the United States and the
Commonwealth do so little to maintain
creditable militia organizations that it
is with peculiar pleasure the command
points to the fact that it has never call
ed in vain upon the ladies of Alexan-
