whole. and went to the front with its own
officers in the District regiment.
At the conclusion of the war Capt. Walsh

lost some of it's old-time snap and ginger
It has steadily refrigerated, 1t is said, de-
spite the efforts Of the officers to bring 1t
up to its old form. During the past few
months it's condition has been such that
It's officers thought best to have It disband-
ed. Capt. Walsh and First Lieutenant Har-
low resigned their commissions. Second

the company, awaiting the time for its dis
bandment. Lieut.. Richard Hardin of the

First Regiment Wins.
The 1st Regiment won the regimental
match at 300 yards in the rifle gallery
last Wednesday night by a margin of one
point. The match was one of the most
interesting that has been shot in the gall
lery for many months and was very ex-
citing. The closeness of the score and the
high record made by every one of the
marksmen added interest to the event
But for the fact that Private HeaIy of the
LIST Regiment team shot twice at the
wrong target the score of the winning
team would have been higher. The score
of the LIST Regiment was Az, and that Of
the I'd Regiment AL.
