yesterday morning at Q o'clock at the

days of duty and be mustered out at

the floor of the drill shed yesterday
morning for roll call. Capt j. J. Moy-
nthan was in command. Lieuts. w r.
Mccain, j. f. Hurley and "A men, in
GLIDING the recruits, reported for duty
Very little work was accomplished
yesterday owing to the fact that it was
the Sabbath day. This morning Capt
Moynihan and the company clerks will
commence their labors upon the muster
rolls, clothing accounts and other work
which is necessary to be done before
mastering out day.
Capt. Moynihan intends to have ev-
cry thing complete and in readiness for
the paymaster long before the last day
arrives.

| ficer Of the day. Sergt. Mccarthy serg-
| cant of the guard, and the following
| was the personnel of the guard detail.
| Corporal T. F. LAWN and Privates
o Hearn, Allen and Bennett.
| There were 10 men who were too sick
| to respond for duty yesterday. Follow
ing are their names:
| Sergt T. J. Moynihan, Privates f. P
| Doyle, Henry Tracy, F. A. Joyce, Pat
| rick Fleming, James j. McCIrath, Mi
| chael l.. Hoar S. A. Haggerty, M. A
| Keane, 2. j. Sullivan, Edward Murphy,
j. H. O'Callahan and G. s. Corcoran.
After roll call many members wer
| excused from duty by request. Dime
was the first meal eaten at the armory
| in i-
of the bill of fare furnished by Catere
| c. S. Yeaw
The sick men of the company are re
| ported as being in better conditio
| than they were last week, and barrin
accidents or relapses they VIII all prob
| ably be able to report before muster
out day.
| Edward Murphy was reported yeSter
day as being slowly recovering, anc
although not out of danger all chance
are in his favor.
1t is expected that the Emmets will
receive their physical examinations
sither today or tomorrow. Capt Moy-
nihan does not know as yet who viii
conduct the examinations. 1t is not
thought that Mai, Magurn of the Ninth
regiment will officiate in the capacity
Of examining surgeon. The surgeon will
undoubtedly be one from some other
Massachusetts regiment.
Lieut.. D. w. Ketcham, assistant
mastering officer, who is located at
Boston, will look out for the Ninth
during the coming 10 days. He is as
mastering out officer Of Massachusetts
George Corbin, the much talked
about youth who went through the Gu
ban war with the Emmets, was at the
arnory yesterday. He did as much and
as good work as any man in the Ninth
regiment, but he is not an enlisted sol
der and will not receive a penny from
the government for his services.
Supper was enjoyed last evening by
nearly all of the men who reported in
the morning for duty. The tables are
set in the banquet hail. on the third
floor of the armory. The meet hours
are as follows:
Breakfast, from to o'clock; dinner,
from IL to 1 o'clock, and supper, from
80 to g. 30 o'clock.
Lieut. Mccain will be officer Of the
day today.
The Ninth regiment was given 20
days instead of 10 days duty, to enable
the captains of the different companies
to get the rolls and all other documents
| into shape, so that the men could get
| their pay and their discharge papers
Nov. rs, and not be obliged to wait as
| the Second regiment has been obliged
| to do for several days.
The idea is thought to be an excel
| lent one, and it will give the men 10
days more pay, which is very accept
able to them at the present time.
THEY MUST HAVE A PASS.
Yesterday several friends of the
members Of G Company called at the
armory and were met by the captain,
the lieutenants and the men present
| with courtesy. The general public will
not be allowed to visit the armory. A
pass from some one in authority is nee
essary in order to pass the guard at the
door
