STOPS SUNDAY DRILLS.
Extra York Of Company c, 18th
REGIMENT, WM Not Count.

Sunday drills as novel feature of the work
of the National Guard which were begun two
weeks ago by Captain-elect Frederick r. Post,
of Company c, of the 18th Regiment, n. G.
N. Y, Brooklyn, have been Immediately frowned
down by General James McI.eer commander of
the I'd Brigade
It seems that Company c had five drills TO
make up as on five of the regular drill nights
the attendance was SO small that the drill could
not be counted. Other companies were in the
same predicament. as the entire regiment has
been in q rundown condition But it fell to
Captain Post to think of getting his men to-
gether on Sunday in order to make up the drills.
There was an attendance of 80 per cent, and the
men were put through their PAGES for three
hours on the armory floor AS the regular drill
period is only hour and half. Captain Post
held that two drills had been made UP. He as
well as the men, some of whom blistered their
feet viii be panied to learn that their work
will go for naught. General McLeer does not
propose to countenance Sunday work.
On the Wednesday night following the men
drilled for three hours and put in claim for
two more drills. General McLeer says he will
not allow this either. If he should permit it. he
says any company could omit it's regular drill
whenever it felt like il, and make it UP by
double duty on another night The drills that
the company is lacking will have to be made
up in the regular way at the end of the drill
season
