Notes.
1t is almost certainty that an interstate
drill be held at Little Rock, Ark, this year.
The time proposed is July to g. inclusive,
and it is needless to say that Capt. Domer
and his men intend to again win the cham
pionship of the United States.
The third battalion is slowly and surely
coming to the front as regards rifle practice.
Last month a large increase over previous
voluntary scores were fired by members of
the organization. Capt Wilson of company
A mas detailed Sergt w. T. Hustled to act
as assistant to Lieut. Louis Dagger, the
battalion inspector of rifle practice. In ap-
probation of the skill and energy displayed
by Private Jesse w. Owen, Capt Barker of
company b has appointed that enthusiastic
rif1eman to assist the inspector on behalf of
company b. With three such able workers
the members of the third battalion are quite
sure that they will in the near future prove
dangerous competitors for first honors, both
in the gallery and on the range.
The regular mounted drill of the second
separate company (cyclists) was held on
Thursday evening last on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue. in front of the Executive Mansion.
An inspection was made by the command
ing officer Of the first separate company,
detailed for that purpose from the brigade
board. Under the guidance of Mr.. H. NJ.

witnessed the drill, and complimented the
boys on their appearance. The usual COM
pany run Will start from the armory at 80
CLOCK this evening, 1T will he the

Elaborate preparations are being made by
company G, engineer corps, for its dancing
reception, to occur at Masonic Hall on
Thursday, April II, 1894 at S D. m The
engineers have heretofore won a reputation
as hosts, and the coming reception will I'M
doubtedly surpass all former efforts of a
similar nature
