It was their first public parade, and the men were in civilian dress, the uniforms not being received from the state, but they carried their rifles in true alignment and marched with the precision characteristic of a well drilled company of regulars. It is evident that every member of the company takes interest in the organi- zation and drills faithfully; and the result was demonstrated by the ap- pearance they made in the parade It is Captain Nicholas desire to have the Pawcatuck company the best drill ed in the regime ent.
