This arm of the service will be under
the command of Maj. George c. Lam
bert, Of this city, and consists of Bat
terry A and the engineer company, Of
this city, and Battery B, of Mime
apolis. Battery A is commanded by
Capt. Henry Larson. Burton E. Allen

and Frank J. Obst, second lieutenant.
The company of engineers is command
ed by Capt. M. E. r. Toltz, with Gates
A. Johnson, first lieutenant, and Emil
c. Schroeder, second lieutenant.
The principal work of the artillery
will be rife practice, as the battalion
is especially anxious to gain a pro-
fciency that will allow them to defeat
the Wisconsin artillery team in the in
terstate competition this fall which is
to decide the championship and ownAr-
ship Of the silver cup, which is now
held by Minnesota-it having been
won once by each state.
Maj. Lambert also has some hard

field, n also for the company of en-
g%ineers. All frings will be at 1900
and $500 yards and will be with the
3.2-inch breech-loading steel pieces
model of 1890 or 1897.
The artillery camp will be located on
h grounds just south of the infantry
camp and on one of the prettiest spots
on the shore of Lake Pepin.

regiment became famous all over the
United States, as it was The first ma
