this brigade ends on that day, but owing
to Governors day coming then it has
been decided to have the brigade re-

is looked on favorably by some of the
men, While others are anxious to get

possible for the command TO break

Lieut. William T. Could of Battery
B, who had charge of the two sections
of the Worcester battery in Mai.
Gihon's command yesterday in the field
maneuvres, was complimented on the
skill he showed in placing his guns by
Gen. Mathews, and there is no doubt
the Worcester officer deserved it as the

an artillerist.
