ACTIVITY At TUE ARMORY.
Colonel Jones Making Up His Re
ports-To Make a. Good showing.


The Regimental Armory is beginning TO
resume an animated appearance once
more, now that the Christmas holidays
are over. There were jolly crowds Of
soldier-boys in each of the company
rooms last night swapping stories about
their holiday experiences.
The Walker Light Guard men are busy
making the final arrangements for the
entertainment 10 be given on New-Year's
Eve for the benefit of their new uniform
fund.
Colonel Jones was at headquarters
husiy preparing the records Of the year
that has an but passed. To Dispatch
reporter be said that the work Of the
regimen. had been most satisfactory in
every particular, and that they were now
on a more favorable footing and had
more creditabe showing than any regi-
ment in Virginia. The percentage OF each
company AT the annual inspection this
year, he said. has been higher, without
exception. and the companies have in
very case mustered one or two more
men than last year, whilst in the other
regiments the percentages have not only
been lower. but there has been falling
of in the enlistment OF recruits. The
regiment has now about 400 members,
which Is quite as many as they are able
to support on the meagre appropriation.
The very favorable record Of the regi-
ment during the past year said Colonel
Jones. Is the more noteworthy because
Il Is remarkable fact that the drain
upon "A city regiment is SO much greater
than that upon a regiment quartered in
the country The men have 10 leave for
a variety of causes. and, although en-
listed for FIVE years. the average length
OF time they remain in the service IS
little more than two and half years.
The most favorable recruiting season
begins with the spring, and Colonel Jones
IS hopeful OF raising the regiment To
still HIGHER standard. II much needed sup
piles are forthcoming. In this connnec-
ton he stated that he had heard yester-
dav chat Governor OFerrall had issued
