WORTHY OF SPECIAL MENTION.
It is expected that the largest crowd that
has ever been in Memphis will be present
The military people down there are anxious
to know that the Feneibles will be present
The Chickasaw Guards, OF that city, are
most anxious to ger a whirl at them. The
Memphis people think their pet company
would come out all right, but, then. they
have never seen the Fencibles drill. When
the Tennessee officers come north they will
call on the officers of Troop A and the Light
Battery. They are very anxious that each of
these organizations should go. Then, with
the Emmet Guard, the list would be COM
plete. The only trouble to be apprehended
is the prize money. 1t would seem kind of
shane should the Washington boys bring
back first prize in each case, and that is
what would happen, of course. 1t is pos
sible that Gen. 0rdway, foreseeing this con-
| tingency, may arrange the date for the brigade
camp SO that it will interfere.
The chief of ordnance, District National
Guard, has just completed the examination
| OF the annual returns oil ordnance property
| for the past year. Reports sent in by certain
| company officers make very fine showing.
They showed great care in preparation and
many deserve special mention. Among the
reports perfectly correct were those OF Com
paDy A, First Battalion: Light Battery A,
| quartermaster, Third Battalion; Company G,
| Second Battalion; Company A, Fourth Bat
talon; Company B. First Separate Battalion,
and First Separate Company. In these re-
| turns there was not single error and head
quarters officials are very proud of this. The
| headquarters people. too. are sure of one
| thing, and that is that they need not be in a
| hurry TO move. 1t IS more than probable they
| will be kept in their present quarters for a
| month or so after the remainder OF the guard
| has gone into the new armory.

Capt. B. 81. Streeks, of Company @, Sixth
Battalion, has been rendered an important
position with a prominent business house OF
Baltimore. Nd, and has the matter OF ac-

hnt trust that he will so arrange his business
connections in Washington as to enable him
