Fuller Battery.

The members of the Battery reported for
duty at the armory at A. NJ. The usual
routine of hitching up, ETC., was gone
through, and at $3.50 they marched to the
Valley Fair grounds, where the time until
1880 was spent in the usual drill. After
a rigid inspection by Capt. Tutherly, the
Battery passed in review, the reviewing
party consisting of Gov. Fuller, Gen. Gil
more, Gen. Estey, Coils. Bond and Harmon
and Capt. Tutherly. As the Battery fin
ished the review Capt. Weld was presented
with gold badge by Gov. Fuller. The
badge is handsome one bearing the in
scription on its outer circle of maroon en-
ame Fuller Battery, V. n. G." In the
centre the head and antlers of deer are
embossed and underneath is the motto
Freedom and unity" The presentation
OF the badge was well deserved honor to
Capt. Weld and showed the interest taken
in the Battery by the governor. Lieut..
Platts was presented by Gov Fuller with a
gold button, bearing the insignia of the
Battery. At the conclusion of the review
an excellent menu was served to the Bat
terry and its guests by Lieut.. Burnett, the
Battery quartermaster.
In the afternoon a detail went to the
range under command of Lieuts. Connors
and Platts. The rest of the Battery spent
the afternoon going through the regular
drill, Lieut.. Clapp being in command.
In the evening the Battery dismounted
assembled at the armory and were put
through the competitive drill by Capt.
Tutherly. The drill was witnessed by GOV.
Fuller, local officers and others. The three
privates chosen by Capt. Tutherly to rep
resent the Battery at Fort Ethan Allen
were O. h. Houghton, A. f. Dion and f.
j. Roleair. In selecting the men from the
different commands, Capt. Tutherly takes
into account the drill, target practice, gen
eral appearance and setting up. The six
members of the Battery ranking next to
the three mentioned above were John
Moore, j. L. Adams, f. F. Charter. II. c.
Haynes, F. j. Bohrman and NJ. II. Brown.
