MAY BECOME AN ARTILLERY REGIMENT

PROPOSED CHANGE IN THE THIRTEENTH REGI-
MENT-oFFICERs AND MEN FAVOR THE IDEA
The 18th Regiment reviewed last night at the
arInory in Sumner and Putnam ayes. by Controller
Bird s. Coler. Before the review the regiment
which was formed in twelve companies of sixteen
files each, gave an exhibition drill under Colonel
Austen. There about three thousand specta-
tors among whom General McLeer, Colonel
Watson, Major George H. Cochran and Colonel
Edward F. Britton. After the review the officers
OF the regiment presented fesize oil portrait OF
himself TO Colonel Austen Il will be hung in the
room of the council of officers.
There Is some talk of Transforming the 18th into
artillery regiment in connection with the dis
cussion concerning the need or more artillery in
the State Guard. The 1874 originally organ
lied as an artillery regiment. The suggestion has
the hearty approval of the officers and many OF the
men The regiment would still drill infantry
but In addition It would have regular practice In the
handling OF coast defence guns. dummy gun
could be set up in the armory for practice and an
artillery officer of the Regular Army would prob
ably be detailed an instructor. additional Prac-
tice could be had at Fort Hamilton and Fort
Wadsworth
