stoned officers school in Company G..
After the school the officers of Com
pany & handsomely entertained the
adjutant and the doctor. Company G.
has handsome aud commodious offices
ani company rooms added to tUeir
armory, but are seriously handicapped
by cramped drill room. Company G
will hold its own at the coming iuspec-
ton
Majors Mates and Whitney will hold
a preliminary inspection of the several
companies IN their respective battalions
this week beginning this evening with
! Companies A and q.
Those who are wagering that Com
pany A will be done up by Company
ID this year, do not want to uuderesti- %
mate Captain Sdllwel's ability to keep
his company in first place. 1t Is to be
admitted, however, that Captain Barn
ard and his tigers are not after thS
gore of Company a.
The next non commissioned officers
school will be postponed from March
to March on account of the spring
inspection.
