The Pick OF The Regiment For Fort
DUPONT Short Sketch OF
Company

Many OF lis do not appreciate the
fact that we have representative OF
Newark in the National Guard of
Delaware. a company which would re,
fleet pride upon any community. We
have only to review their record to be
persuaded that it is foremost among
those of our State.
At the outbreak of the Spanish
American War, 1898, Company l. was
organized BY Captain Joseph H. Hos
singer.
Company l. encamped at Camp Tun-
mel, Middletown. Def. ~.,d at Camp
lleade, Middletown, Pa. with the
First Delaware Regiment Volunteers.
Although it was not sent to the front
during that war, it was due to no lack
oi spirit on the part of the Delaware
boys. The Company was mustered
out after the war .-.-..
Again in 1908 Captain Hossinger or
ranlzed Company f as an outcome of
the disbanded Company L. Thirty
men were mustered in at the time of
the y sanization. The following were
the otiiccrs:-Captair Joseph II. Hos
snHer: FirsS Lieutenant. John M.
Rowen; Second Lieutenant. Paul F.
Pie.
Captain Hossinger resioned April.
1904. and was succeeded by George l..
Medil1. the Lieutenants remaining in
their respective positions.
Captain Medill resigned February,
Icoo, and was succeeded BY c. A.
Short. Lieutenant Pie resigned in
July, 1000, and was succeeded by L. B.
Jacobs Lieutenant John NJ Bowen
resigned January. 1908. The first
l:eutenancy was filled by l.. b. Jacobs.
w. S. Corkran filled the position of
Second Lieutenant
In May. 1909. Captain c. A. Short
was appointed Inspector General. with
rank Of Major, on the General Staff.
Lieutenant Jacobs was elected to the
Captaincy and James d. McKeon to
the position of First Lieutenant
Among the present members! OF
Company F. are five men who have
served continuous enlistment since the
organization OF the Company in 1903
Their names follow james D. Nc
keon, Henry Sargent, Daniel Krapf
Clark Ellison and James Potts. They
are now serving theil third enlistment
For the last two years the Honor
able Preston Lea has offered a CUP
which is shot for BY toams OF five
men from each COMPANY. Company
has won this cup for the two years.
Out Of the fifteen men who are sen,
from Delaware each wear to the Ma
tionGl Shoot held at Camp Perry.

Methodist Picnic

\ pleasant day was spent by the
members OF the NJ f. Sunday School
III Donnell's woods on last Thursday
The plan OF the day in the hands OF
Rev. Anderson and Mr.. Cam was so
successfully carried out as to make al
undressing moment impossible. The
ladies upon their arrival, immediately
began to prepare the picnic dinner, an
immense ham having been brought
along and the sandwiches being made
on the spot.
Running races and sports OF all kinds
furnished amusement for the after
noon Each class competed in GER
tain event, haf-pound boxes of Low
neys being given as prizes. Some OF
the fortunate ones were Harold Cook,
Lillian buckingham, Edward Richards,
Jr., Helen Wol'aston, Herman VOL
laston.
One class OF little folk performed
the feat of carrying big potatoes on a
little spoon, the older members of the
school did the same thing with stones.
That which afforded the most amuse-
ment was the fat mems foot race.
Messrs. Will Brown, Mr.. Louis Cam,
L. f. Hill and H. w. McNeal com
pcted, Mr.. McNeal leaving the other
contestants far behind Mr. Brown
enjoyed his first picnic supper for nine

COMPANY f GOESTOREHOBOTH

Ohio. Company has been represent
ed each timeb y five men-a proud
clam Tor one company to make.
The War Department offers each
year medal to those who have quail
fled as narkemen. sharpshooters. and
experts. A larger proportion of these
have come to this COMPANY than to
any other in the State.
At the annual spring inspection,
made by the War Department of the
National Guard OF the country, Com
pany L for the last two wears has not
had one man missing AS the num-
Der oi men present on these occasions
fix the appropriation which will be re
ceived the coming year. Company f
can claim to have shoudered her share
along that line.
During the last year those individ-
uals who have received medals are
Captain Jacobs Sergeant ellison, Cor
poral Clark, Privates Powell, Dobson,
Heisler, Taylor and Corporal Gilbert
The men will leave for Rehoboth
July 23rd, going to Porters by the
Delaware City road. where they will
board the regular troop train for the
encampment. Company T. will take
fifty-six men while the other com
panies have only forty-hve members.
This is because OF the fact that this
company is the one picked from the
regiment for work with the regular
Coast Artillery at Fort Dunont. At
that time the enrolment will be raised
to n'nety-tive. the number being in
creased to that point by the enlistment
of men picked from the other com
paneS
An idea Of the work carried on is
shown be'ow by an order OF the day
carried ont last year:
a. m. Setting up exerciscs-Rutts 5
Manual.
Police COMPANY Street.
I a. m. Breakfast.
7:l5 a. NJ. Hospital Call.
7:3o a. m Officers Call.
to II a. IN. rst drill consisting OF

4.3o p. III. Guard Mount
$50 p. m. Supper.
600 p. m Dress Parade.
1890 p. IN. Call to Quarters.
II p. m. Taps.
In view OF the School OF instruction
held this year at the State Range il
is likely that the work this ear will
include tactical problems and actua
stfpy i;.oveme1lts similar to those a,
Gettysburg
We hope that ToIo's record will be
equal to that made in the past.
