 Company K, Talladega county, John Mckenzie, captain.
 II may be of some interest to the sur vivors of the old command to recall the individual or local names of the .com- panies composing the regiment. 7 since, after lapse of more than two score years, many of the old vetere46s perhaps. remember but few of t.6e names so

CompanyfA bore the name of Ashville Guards; ,fCompany B, Jefferson Volun- ! leerS, Company C, Cahaba valley Boys , Company D. Alexandria Maids; Company ll Jeff Davis Blues Company F. Coosa
 Valley Rifles; Company G, Pope Walker ! Guards; Company II, Chocolocco Rifles; Company l, Yancey Guards; Company i K Fort Williams Rifles.

Glasgow, March 16.-Everything Is in readiness for tho launching for Shamrock III tomorrow Platforms to .accommo- date 800 persons have been erected along side the end of the shed which has been partly removed. and enough of the chal- lenger for the America cup Is visible to fully confirm the statement made in these dispatches as to her departure from the fiat-floored type of all the recent cup rac- CTS. The challenger's body Is drawn well down into the fin.
 A side view of the yacht was not ob- tained today, but the excessive bulk of the fore end of the fin suggests that shortening of this portion of the boat has been carried to a degree which a more timid designer would reckon dan. PerOus.
