Swearing Allegiance to the COlOrs.
The ceremony of swearing allegiance to
the colors, as practiced abroad, has not
been seen in this city. 1t has been import
ed, however. and was recently practired by
battalion in New York. AS military m n
are particularly interested in this cerc-
mony, 1T Is given below In detail:
The battalion being in line. at an order
the major opens ranks and commands:

the colcrs, acc ompsnied by the color guard,

the national color on the right. When the
colors are in position, the major COM
mands: Order arms" and takes position
facing the battalion, three PAGES to the
right and three PAGES to the front Of the
colors. He then says:
Officers and men Of the battalion: For
asmuch as we, each and every one, have
taken a solemn oath to defend the Const-
tuition Of the United States and that OF the
ereignty of the United States and of this
state, 1t is meet that we should likewise

the visible sign Of such sovereignty.

National Rifles Proceeding Slowly.
Preparations for the entry Of the Nation
al Rifles into the National Guard are pro-
ceeding slowly. Capt. Oyster and his men
met on Thursday last and discussed the
proposed revision of the constitution Of
their organization, in order to make 1t
conform to the law governing the militia,
from early in the evening until early FRI
day morning, and although considerable
progress was made, the work was not
completed. Some time after midnight the
meeting adjourned until Monday, when it
is hoped something definite will be accom-
plished.
Arranging for Reunion.
The officers OF the provisional regiment
under command Of Maj, Otto l.. Suess,
which encamped at Marshall Hall last
summer have decided to hold campfire
and reunion on an elaborate scale In the

The major then commands: Battalion,

says:
"Seeing. then, that we have thus taken
solemn oath, let us look Tor look ye) to IT

thereof at all times and In all places, lest

faces the colors and salutes, the band play

the music ceases, the major RECEIVERS his

brings the battalion to order arms closes
ranks and commands Dismiss your COM
panies" This concludes the ceremony.
Should the oath be administered by on
officer other than the major, the major
kves the commands for the manual only,
and the necessary changes are made as
noted.
Annual Examination for Officers.
An experienced officer Of the National
Guard Of Pennsylvania made a suggestion
recently, which, II carried out throughout
the United States, would greatly raise the
standard of the National Guard. 1t was
that all the officers Of the guard should be
required to pass a rigid examination once
a year. this to embI ace a general knowledge
Of affairs, military tactics, military law and
the care of troops And those who fail to
attain good average should be reduced to
the ranks.
The subject was brought up in discussing
the functions OF the brigade board, and
reference had been made to q certain Of
fcer. a very capable one too, who had been
before the board upon several occasions
and who was sworn In upon his later visit
without the usual catechising.
Now, what was the need Of my going
down to the city hall?" asked the officer re-
ferred to, who CHANGED to be present. the
conventionalities Of the day and a number
Of compliments were the only words ad-
dressed to me. But do not wish to ortiz
else, for the board knew that could pass
the examination without any trouble. The
point that wish to make Is this. Why
