rhsre are $3.50 officers and men really In
che cadet corps, but owing to lack OF
equipment, only the number mentioned
nara able to turn out. The boys are
partially equipped with old Springfield
rife, pleced out with cavalry carbines,
and only half of the cadets are provid-
Al With belt equipment. Efforts here
tofore have been in vain to do better by
them. but after yesterday afternoons

safe to say that the governor and the
new adjutant general will make special
eyertlons 70 secure a suitable supply

of good sprinEfields boxed up and
