Commodore T H. Hebron took par
ty of friends to Pearl Harbor Saturday
evening in the yacht Gladys and
brought them back yesterday morning.
They had the good fortune to hook and
kill a shark which measured twelve
feet On the head of the shark was

A UNIQUE DISTINCTION OF THE nST

existence was "strictly American III was orig

Il, the early days of the citizen soldlery OF 'ne
State of New-York there were many orsahiZa-
tons in which the flags of other nations were
carried side by side with the national standard
There were French, German, Scotch, lrlsh anu
English military companies, In many OF these

flr as to include uniforms in cut and color ike
those worn by the European soldiers

number of men who chose as their motto the
command issued by Washington to MS suo-
ord.nates on the eve of a memorable battle IN

cans on guard The meeting was called for the
purpose OF discussing the feasibility or or
ganiziug a strictly American military oouy.
Th. ..TompkIns B,ues'' and similar independent
military companies were popular, and there was
really no necessity for new organization, but
the Young men wanted to do something to coun-
teract the influence of the exclusively foreign
cenranies which were being used by polit-
clans for their self-assrandizement- 1t was
il the days Of the vigorous activity of the
order Of United Areri ans" and of the hno"

at the Eagle DriIlroom meeting and fe"
weeks later an organization was effected at a
meeting which took place at the Broadway Tab
ernacle Church. then occupying the site which
is now No $40 Broadway. Several companies
formed of men who were vouched for as
having been born in the United States, and the
name american Guard adopted. Com
pany meetings took place in various places, and
for a while the main headquarters were at the
Branch Hotel near the Old Bowery Theatre.
