PLY thought of signalizing the opening OF
the drill season by uniting with 1t the
ceremony of presenting prizes, and the
Colonels wisdom will have a splendid
effect of re-establishing, what has been
permitted to be forgotten, that most es-
sential though intangible part OF the
regiment esprit du corps. The Fourth
\ can now lift its anners proudly. 1t has
a popular, respected and able m
ant; its officers have taken the creme OF
the prizes open to the whole regiments OF
the State, while the men, by their marcn-
ing and appearance, obtained for them
| selves the highest praise during camp
| from officers in Uncle Sans regular army.
Colonel Smith, then, has made great
| preparations for Monday evenings cere-
mony, and he today issued the following
