THE 7TH AND list REGIMENTS MARKS OF
ATTENTION.

ATTENTION.
The 18th and list Regiments justly came In for
GOOD deal of attention last week. The Ith cele-
brated A victory which was not less a conmendaoie
one because II Of financial nature rather
than of laurels won on battlefield BY over
coming this financial obstacle it has made Nselt
harder and stronger 10 cope with difficulties OF
a blood,er sort which 1t may be called upon 10
meet later IN its history. The soldier VINO gives MS
time for his countrys welfare is rightly honored;
and so it would certainly seem that the one VINO
not only gives his time but pays the State for al
lowing him TO be one or us ueIeHuers' ouS"' W
receive unusual honors.
The celebration at the armory on THURSDAY
evening was almost as much Of an event as the
victory itself. The great crowd Of people who went
10 the arrnory demonstrated in what high regard
the organization is held. There was one regiment
OF National Guardsmen in uniform; another regi-
ment from other organizations. in citizens dress,
and five regiments OF men and women spectators
all present at one time in the armory which the
18th built and paid for for its own use This In IT.
self is glory enough for one week.
The fact has often been remarked that an officer
Is almost as old before he becomes the commandant
of n company in the It'll Regiment the officers
of the Army are before they can wear two bars
on the shoulder straps In fact, TO see an oihcer
at the head Of company in the 18th Regiment
whose hair Is not we'll sprinlled with gray is an
unusual sight When it is remembered that there
been doing active service for upward of twenty
five years and 100 who have been active in the or
ganizaton for ten years and upward, no surprise
need be felt at the age Of the officers The roll

The list Regiment moved into it's new armory
yesterday being escorted by the eth to its new
home. This was returning a compliment which was
paid to the 7th by the list fourteen years ago
When the eth moved into its armory the list
was its escort. In ordering the parade TO take pos
session OF the new armory Colonel Greene said:
Several months since the handing officer OF
the 7th Regiment offered the services OF that reg
ment as escort whenever the list should march
into It's new armory, and the offer accepted
with much pleasure That time has come; and
the march will be made under the escort OF that
famous organization. thus returning courtesy
extended to them a similar occasion in 1880
and cementng afresh the friendship which has al
ways existed between the two commands"
