 Foot Guard from Hartford.
 The details of the trip of the Hart ford Foot Guard to Norwich for the celebration are in the hands of Mayor Hooker, quartermaster of the com- pany, and the programme from the start of the company until its return to Hartford will furnish one round of enjoyment, says the Hartford Courant. Arriving at New London on the after noon of Saturday, July 8, dinner will be served at the Crocker and Mohican houses, where apartments have been reserved for them. The company will remain in New London on Saturday night and on Sunday will be enter tained by several clubs and organiza- tions of the old whaling city. A spe- cial clambake or shore dinner is to be served either at the White beach pa- villion or at the Thames club. both organizations having extended invita- tions to the company, and a trip on the Thames will be a part of the aft l ernoon exercises. Monday, July 5, the company will make it's run up to Nor wich, where headquarters will be es- tablished at the Wauregan house. and where the Foot Guard band will give | a concert after dinner on the eve ming following the great parade.
 Mayor Armstrong of New London and Mayor Costello Lippitt of Norwich l are personally interested in the com ing of the Foot Guard and are mak- ing efforts to make the trip of the distinguished company one of the pleasantest that has ever fallen to their lot. Entertainments for both Saturday and Sunday evenings are being prepared for them and they are assured that no stone will be left un- turned to make them feel at home and glad they came.
 Major Wilcox has received official notification from the adjutant general of the arrangements being made by the state for the transportation of the company to New London and Norwich and return.
 In view of the importance of the event and the extensive arrangements for the entertainment of the "Feeters' in New London and Norwich the local company will make an extra effort in their drills for proficiency that has seldom been equaled. Major Wilcox and the other officers of the command nope 70 De able to take at least 12O rifles and uniformed men on the trip and 1t Is possible that the company will include 150 men in uniform. They expect to make a showing equal to that made by the organization in Phil adelphia in the fall of 1887, when the command, under Major J. c. Kinney carried off the military parade honors with no second company in sight. The Foot Guard band will be materially augmented for the occasion and the music will he A faatura in itself
