turns but many unable or unwilling to
prepare these reports themselves by
studying and following printed notes
on forms themselves. Large per cent.
of officers fail to appreciate the i'm
portance of promptness in sending in
reports or being on time for forma-
lions. Payrolls, field returns, etc, are
very slow in COMM in even after oe-
ing repeatedly sent for. Enlisted mon
are not up to standard physically and
many showed complete ignorance Of
ordinary military customs; showed de-
sire 70 ledFH anu improved daily at
guard mountings, parades and at
drills"
Capt. L. CO Brown reco1prhends:
Technical examination should be re-
quired of candidates for appoirstment
OF officers of the Coast artillery re-
serves. More sub caliber ammunition
allowed. Drills too long: one ana one
half hours a. m. and one hour p. m.
recommended. Recommended that TX
ercises close with As hours of simulated

PLAN FOR SEVERAL BANDS.
Executive Committee of Celebration Acts Several Mat
ters-Military Organizations to be lnvited-Appro-
priatons and Committees.

The executive committee of the COM
ing celebration held a meeting on
Tuesday afternoon at the central fire
station. at which there were fourteen
in attendance. There was much accom-
plished at the session of an hour and
a half and another meeting will be
called in a week or ten days.
Two additional committees were
named, those on hospitality and pro-
cession, the latter containing a mem
Der from every organization in town.
Appropriations for music, fireworks
and the loan exhibit which it is under
stood will be held in town hall were
made, so that the committees in charge
of those cetails can now go ahead with
their work, knowing what they have 10
do with.
The idea is to have a number of
bands for the parade and concerts and
negotiations are under way for the
Fifth Regiment band of Boston and
the Governors Foot Guards band of
Hartford. Fourth of July is a particu-
larly hard time to secure bands and
it is generally at a premium that good
ones can os secured then. There will
of course be other bands, including the
local ones. The loan exhibit approp-i-
