II. 7. Weston of the Yale Light Horse
artillery has been elected first lieuten-
ant to fill the position made vacant by
the retirement of First Lieutenant
Fowler of Guilford, who was unable to
enlist on account of his family. Gener-
al Haven at once ordered an election to
fill the vacancy and Weston was chos-
en-. The Yale men are very popular at
camp.
Colonel Almy, ex-medical director
said that the Yale men were the best
set of men physically that he ever ex-
amined.
A meeting Of the regimental officers
was held last evening. The trip of the
regiment to ottawa has been indefinite
ly postponed, it being doubtful if the
regiment could get permission to leave
the state at this time, even should the
members desire it. Although disap-
pointed that the Second was not the
regiment called upon to fill Connect
cuts quota, the regiment will be kept
ready for any call which future emer-
gencies may bring.
