| day night II was decided 10 send her and
| her beautiful aides handsomely eugroSSed
| resolutions OF thanks. They viii be for
| warded as soon as they can be prepared
| I the Same time thanks Will be seut TO
! various organizations which Were very
| kind
| 1t is not generally known, but the drill
| team was made up of sick men when they
| Went on the Held. 1t might have made no
| difference in the result, but the fact of
| their bad shape still remains. Lieut. Man
| son was told that he was the only com
| mandng officer who made no mistake in
| giving the commands. Quite a COmplIme Mt
| for the captain.
| The Rifles are not complaining or kick
| ing and the following incident Is not given
| as complaint, but simply as happening.
| In the individual drill three of the Rifles
were ruled out They appealed and the
| judges at last admitted they We're right
and ordered them back into line. Now
the Rifles claim that if they We're right.
! the remainder of the competitors were
| wrong, and should have been ruled out.
| In that case they would have won the first,
! second, and third prizes respectively.
| The three appealed on tlc following:
| They had been drilling by numbers foot
| movements were ordered, ana when they
| returned TO the manual the three drilled
| the first command without Tumbers. For
| this they Were ordered out, but made their
successful appeal.
The troop has been taking a rest Stree
| their march. During the summer the
! drills will be on bugle calls. The men
found their weakness in this direction on
| their last march. The next mounted drill,
| in the fall, VIII find the boys up in every
thing.
a great many changes have been made
| in their headquarters IN the armury. Their
| old loCkeT-rOOm has been fitted up as an
| officers quarters, papered. painted, and
| carpetcd. The Company-rOOm Will also
be fixed up. But down in the old harness
| room the greatest change hag been made.
| The ceiling was high enough for an extra
! floor to be put in about seven feet from
the first floor This gives two handsome
rooms. The half floor is used as a locker
room and the lower for extra saddles,
| camp equipage, etc. Every one is I'M
mensely pleased with the result.
