company a chance to act as a member of
the guard and as sentry. Capt Edwards

Capt Edwards has requested Capt. Thos.
s. King. inspector of rifle practice. 1st
Regiment, to inspect the rifles of his COM
mand. with a view of exchanging them for
new material. The equipment of the COM

pany lost quite a quantity of personal as

Friday evening of each week has been
set aside by Capt. Edwards for the fnstruc-
ton of recruits. and the armory on such
occasions presents a decidedly business-like
appearance.
