STATE HOUSE CALENDAR.
asxt Meeting Of Governor and Council
Tuesday, April q, at 1890 A. M.

Although nothing of an official ma
.ure has yet been received at the
oaee of the adJutant general at the
c,ate House in regard to the annual
to,lr of duty of the National Guard
n the State of Maine to be held dur
Ing the coming August, there is a feel
,ne that. the matter is practically set
lied as to the military exercises which
gill be participated in by the two regi-
ments nt infantry during the tour, and
that the First Regiment will be de-
tailed for coast artillery duty among
| the forts of Portland harbor, with the
! regular troops of the Portland district,
the regiment being under command of
Col. Charles Collins and the regulars
under command of Col. White. 1t is
also understood that the dates Of the
maneuvers have been decided upon
will be from Aug. 2 TO Aug. II.
! The Second Regiment will in accord
| ance with the above plans be in camp
at Camp Fernald in this city at the
time, under the command of Colonel
Eyerard E. NeWcomb.
As the authority for the above
arrangement so far as the First Reg
iment is concerned, is the Army and
Navy Journal it is regarded as con-
elusive. In it's issue of April II the
Journal has in it's list of the states
where Joint army and militia artillery
exercises arc to be held the coming
summer the following: "Maine:
Portland: LIST Keg't of Inf, IL cos: SIS
officers 745 men; Aug, to H." the
meaning of which is given above. 1t
Is understood also that the participa-
ton of the First Infantry in the coast
artillery exercises the coming summer
also means that tlae United States will
ask that the regiment be changed from
infantry to coast artillery.
The schedule of states is preceded
by the following statement: THE
schedule for the joint army and militia
coast artillery exercises during the
coming summer was completed during
the past week in the Division of Mill
tary Affairs. These exercises which.
under the Jealous and painstaking Ia
b0rs of Col. f. NJ. Weaver. chief OF
the Division. have grown to be of great
value and have aroused most enthusi-
astic interest among National Guards
men. promise to be more important
this year than at any time previous.
A larger number of organizations will
participate and a more varied and diff
fcult series of problems will be worked
out than in previous years"
AS stated above the Second Regiment
will probably come to Augusta as
usual and on the same dates. and that
the tour of duty will be about the
same as that of previous years, except
that there may be some innovations.
one of which may be the presence of
a regiment Of United States Infantry
to participate in the maneuvcrS with
the Maine t;uardsmcn. A request has
been made to the War Department
that a reg iment be sent, but what re-
sponsc will be Forthcoming cannot he
stated This would mean the presence
In camp of about 1000 men in addition
TO the. Maine regiment, coming from
some of the army posts of the Depart
ment of the East. either from the 5th.
18th or 2ith United States Infantry
II is hoped by the military authorities
that ii may be the pleasure of the War
Department to grant the presence Of
some regulars at the encampment
even If it were but a battalion.
