This battery was organ- tzed in July, 188%, but it did no drilling until Oc- tober, and then only foot movements and the “‘set- Ungs up” were given, a5 ‘the severe es win- ter had set in and ft had neither armory nor guns. In March of thenext year eat ar eee after the arrival of its equipment, Battery 4, ‘@ young game ter, entered its sections A. and B, in Doth the State And \terstate contests for “best section dri.” In the interstate class the Well - established Louis- ville, and Danville (1iL) Datteries were entered. mB, under com- mand of Lieut. Curtis, won second prize) with @ percentage of 91.76 to the Kentucky battery's 92.76, a difference ot just 1 per cent. ‘These drills were at the interstate drill at Indian- apolis 1883. In the State contest section B won first prize; section A, second prize; a clear “scoop” forthe battery. In ‘addition to this, the mounted drill contest in the interstate contest was easily won by Battery A; which thus won four prizes in its very first competition, besides the gold cup captured by the gattling-gun squad. At, one spring, Battery A leaped Into the very frst in tts arms; forit won more prizesin that week than all other companies of the State combined had ever captured before. In the next epring the Indiana champions were challenged to drill a section contest by the Cin- cinnati Light Artillery. ‘This batiery was then commanded by Captain Joyce, a good drill master, who had charge of the Asbury Cadets, winners of first place at Indianapolis in 1882; and his men were longer trained than the “Hoosier boys.” Pre- Uminaries were soon arranged, however, meetin: tobe on neutral ground at, Richmond, ind, ‘an all the other sections desiring being allowed to en- fer. duly 4, 1864, Ue competition took place, the 2d ent, O.N.

Immediately, under his direction, the armory now occupied was built. A “team” was put in preparation for the Mobile and Now Orleans eneampments of 1885. On May 1, the battery reported in camp at Mobile, The quarters of the battery were very acceptable, being LB. Thrasher, Albrecht, G. J. Mortar CAPT, 348, B.

It was at this encampment that the bat- tery met tts first serious reverse. ‘The quarter- master had carelessly packed the ammunition chest of the limber without Inspecting the cartridges fur- nished hin. For the first time it was discovered on the drill fleld that the cartridges were too large forthe gun. It was impossible to force them into the muzzle and the detatchment was effectually barred. ‘The boys are now as proud of the only Diack ribbon on the guidon as they are of elther fe Se ones, as it indicates a lesson dearly learn‘ ‘Not discouraged by the Mobile disaster, the bat- tery courageously moved on tO New Orleans the next week, where it met the winners of the first and second prizes at Mobile, namely, the Wash- ington Artillery and Louisiana Field Artillery, in addition to the battery from Galveston, Tex., ‘The drill was pronounced the most pee parte of any in the history of contests, and the Hoosiers ‘were awarded the first prize and the world’s medal by the commissioners of the cotton centennial. It ‘Was a great victory on the very fighting grounds of the famous New Orleans batteries. The team turned its face homeward justly proud of the record made, and highly delighted with the warm reception given it in New Orleans. It was now the champion battery of the country. In July of the same year the battery made the same mistake that all other crack compantes did and went to the Philadelphia encampinent, Which Was a dismal failure. From the moment of arrival it was known the {Bred offered would not be paid. In the contest with eight batteries it was awarded second place. It was forced to drill on Wednesday. The winner of Orst place was, It is claimed, wllowed to witness {ts drill and to practice on the pro- gramme until Friday, giving it a very decided and Unfair advantage. In 1885 the organization scored three first prizes at the interstate drill at LaFayette. It met bat- tery A of Iilinots and led it in the score by 10 per cent. Inthe State drill it was an easy winner of first place, The Gatling gun section again came to the front and made one of the prettiest drills ever seen, distancing all competitors. With the three prizes the battery returned home, where 1t was welcomed by a mass meeting of citizens and a most unique street parade. ‘The organization js now the pride of the city and State, The personnel of its membership issu} to that of most similar organizations, and it will be seen at Washington with its eyes fixed on first place.
