Andrews, The Eighteenth Regiment. The eighteenth infantry of Pittsburg, Pa., is one of the oldest organizations in the National Guard Pennsylvania. It is in the sixty- econd year of its existence as either state or United States troops. The command was organized aud sworn into the stato service as ® company of the old state militia on September 5, 1831, under the title of the Duquesne Grays, with Rufus L. Baker, at that time a major in the United States army in command of the Allegheney arsenal at Pitts- burg, as the first captain. With such = head for the organization it prospered, und from the first the company wasa favorite in the city. Sixteen yeara later when the Mexican war broke out the company volunteered, was ac- cepted and became company K, first Penney vania volunteers. ‘The record of the company in this war was highly creditable. In one fight alone—the bloody contest that followed the sortie from the citadel at Pucblo—the (rays losing over one-third of their men dead and bringing out but ahandful of men unwounded. Among the men who went to Mexico with the company a private in the ranks was Richard C. Drum, who afterward became adjutant gen- eral of the United States arm: When the war was over the company came home and once again entered the state service as the Duquesne Grays in 1849. In 1861 the rebellion again called the command into the field. As promptly as in 1846 the company volunteered; this time it wax mustered into the service as company B, twelfth Pennsylvania volunteers, one of the three months’ regiments, ‘They saw their quota of service and came back to Pittsburg, when the regiment was mustered Windsor, Leon Windsor, Second Lieut. DeF. | out at the expiration of the period of enlist- ment. With this the company ceased to exist ax such, the members who wero left entering the kervice again as officers of three-year regi- ments. Altogether this one company furnished eighty-eight commissioned officers to Pennsyl- vania regiments. After the war the survivors decided to again reorganize asa part of the state forces, but it was some time before definite action was taken, Finally on August 19, 1869, a meeting was held, at which the Duquesne Grays were again brought together, with David Campbell as captain. With the prestige guined both at home andin the field the company grew rapidly. Reeruits came in, and in two weeks the men on the rolls were too many for one company. A second company was formed, and inside of a month two more were added, the organization Deing officially designated as the first battalion, eighteenth division, Duque-ne Gravs. Recruits still kept coming in and were formed into new companies, and on December 27, 1871, the com- mand became a full regiment and was given the nuthber it has since held, “18.” ‘The first colonel was David Campbell, who retired in 1874. He was succeeded by Pressley . Guthrie. While the latter was in command the railroad riots of 1877 came and the regiment took the field, being the first called upon. Its conduct then has been a source of pride to every man who has ever served with its colors, ‘The’ grand jury which investigated these riots declared in its presentment that the eighteonth Fegiment had performed its full duty iu cred- itable and soldierly manner, praise that was given no other organization.

A. Wiley, now brigadier general. as colouel. The im- provement in the guards since then has been the coustant admiration of military critics, and in this advance the sixteenth has not only kept ace, but has forged its steadily to the front until it now occupies » leading place in the National Guards of Pennsylvania.

The men were scattered over a territory of over twenty-| five miles in the two cities of Pittsbu: Allegheny, at their various places of business. AtSc'clock Col. Smith reported that 50 per cent of the regiment was in the armory ready tseod in’ readiness, in Eeary marsSing esber, man vy ng with four days’ rations. The roll call showed cent in line, ineluding every member able to walk who was 'in the city on that date. ‘The regiment reached the scene of the trouble that evening. where it met the tenth. Without difficulty order was restored, and after ten days’ service the command was relieved, with the thanks of the governor for its creditable ‘The second tour of this sort of duty came in I when the entire guard under ston eorgies ot the ccteed troubles. ai It was on duty there for eighteen days, and again, for the third time in its historyas a state regiment, was relieved with the thanks of the authorities.

This cavalry troop was organized at Harria- burg. Pa., February 18, 1888, with the follow- ing commissioned officers: Captain, Harman A. Perkins; first lioutenant, Henry A. Walken- meyer; second lieutenant, Frederick M. Ott; assistant surgeon, with rank of first lieutenant, John A. Fritchey. A little over a year ago, upon the resignation of the captain and first lieutenant, the present officers were elected and commissioned: Captain, Frederick M. Ott; first lieutenant, Charles P, Meck: recond lieutenant, John M. Major. Assistant Surgeon John A. Fritchey was reappointed and Thomas J. Bei was appointed quartermaster, with rank of lieutenant. The troop now has five commissioned officers and sixty enlisted men— the maximum allowed by Jaw. The troop nt once became a part of the third brigade, National Guard of Pennsylvania. This assignment pnt that brigade upon the same footing as the other two; the first brigade hav- ing attached to it the first troop, Philadelphia city cavalry, and the second brigade having the Sheridan troop of Tyrone, But the organization of a new troop did more than merely equalize the three brigades. It stimulated interest in the cavalry branch of the service in the guard, and the three troops act- ing together asa provisional squadron bave de- veloped more rapidly on that account, and now form a homogeneous body that is spoken of by high military authority as the nucleus of a fine ry regiment. t such a regiment could easily be added to the guard, when desired, is shown by the fact that the admission of the | troop was accomplished with dificulty, after a spirited contest with two other newly formed troops of cavalry in two of the principal cities within the tezritory of the third brigade, for the honor of admission into the guard at that time in favor of the governor's troop. ‘The membership of the governor's troop is drawn from all occupations, the men residing in the city of Harrisburg and in the surrounding country and villages within a radius of about nine miles. A large part of the men have been raised in the country and have been accustomed from boyhood to the use of horses. Many of them own their own horses, but those who do not find no dificulty in hiring suitable mounts the vicinity. In uniform, both fatigue and fall dress, and in arms and equipment the troop adheres strictly to United States army regulations. For armory purposes the troop occupies a large hall on the second floor of a building used for market purposes. Dismounted drills are held weekly. A commodious yard surrounded by Htabling, appurtenant to the market building, furnishes all needed accommodations for the occasions of mounted parades or service. In the lifetime of this organization the most important events prior to the summer of 1892 have been the trip to Washington, March 4, 1839, to participate in the inaugural parad and the trip to New York ci the parade on the centennial anniversary of Washington's inangeration, April 20, 10% Upon both of these occasions the troop and horses were transported by railroad, and valua- ble experience in the duties of cavalrymen was thus gained. With the exception of “the sum- mer of 1892 the troop has encamped at Mount Gretna, Lebanon county, each year vince its organization, beginning with the third brigade encampment, 1888, proceeding in heavy march- ing order to and from camp on each occasion. ‘The beuefit derived from these practice marches is of very great consequence. Last summer (July, 1892) the troop had an experience of field service at Homestead, The alacrity with which the entire National Guard of Pennsylvania responded to the call of Gov. Pat- tinon isa matter of history. Marching ordera were received by the Governor's Troop between Land 2 o'clock on the morning of July 11, and before 9a.m. the troop—fifty-nine men’ and fifty-eight horses—was entirely ready to board the train. ‘The remaining men joined the troop in the next few days, ao that the entire mem- bership of the command—sixty-four at that time—appenred at the annnal inspection held by the adjutant general at Homestead. ‘The troop at Homestead formed part of the provisional cavalry squadron, under the com- mand of Capt. C.8. W. Jones of the Sheridan Troop. Returning from Homestead with the health of the men unimpaired, and their efficiency as sol- diers increased by the exacting duties oft term of service, the accustomed drill has entered upon with renewed interest and zest. The Fourth Regiment. ‘The fourth regiment of the Pennsylvania Na- tional Guard has its headquarters at Marietta, Pa, It is under the efficient command of Col. David Brainard Case and has the following staff of officers: Lientenant colonel, C. T. O'Neil, Allentown; major, John P. Earnest, Pine Grove. Staff: Surgeon, Maj. J. B.

This regiment is the senior regiment of the third brigade, and by virtue of Gen. J. P. 8. Gobin, senior brigade commander of the National Guard of Pennsylvania, the ninth reg- | iment occupies the extreme right of the line. Col, Keck is thorough soldier, an able com- mander and has brought the regiment to a very Proud position in the National Guard. ‘The discipline of the command is excellent, and they are ever ready to respond to the cali of duty. When Gov. Pattison ordered out the National Guard of Pennsylvania to suppress the riot at Homestead inst July the order came to the colonel at 2 o'clock Monday morning, July 11, and in six hours and twenty minutes from the time of the receipt of the order the regi- ment, with full ranks. marched from its armory in Wilkesbarre, ready to take the train for the seat of trouble. ‘The mobilization of the troops in the Home- stead campaign was one of the most remarkable military demonstrations ever made, and to the ninth regiment belongs the credit of reporting this command ready for the march in less time than any other regiment in the state. ‘The citizens of Wilkesbarre have built for the regiment one of the finest armories in the state of Pennsylvania, at a cost of $75,000. The armory was completed and dedicated on the 26th of October, 1887. The headquarters of this regiment is at Wilkesbarre, where four of the companies are located, The other four ies are located in adjoining town ius of seven miles, and with the un- equaled railroad facilities which encompass the city the command can be concentrated at the regimental headquarters in thirty minutes, The following 1s the roster of the offic-rs of tho regiment: Colonel, Morris J.

It Once Again Marches on the Asphalt of Pennsylvania Avenue. The seventh regiment, the pride of New York, wasas usual one of the most conspic uous’ and most popular organizations in the litte which made Pennsylvania avenue glitter with brass buttons and gold lace today. Tais organization, whose fame is spread from the Atlantic to the Pacific, in the special Pullman cars in which they traveled from New York by the Pennsylvania railroad. The regiment is upward of a thon- sand strong, and is under the command of Col. Daniel Appleton. It is exclusiv membership, and is most representati intelligence, wealth and the commercial enter- Prise of the great metropolis, COL. DANIEL APPLETON, The regiment has an unsullied record for courage and valor. In the hearts of all Wash- ingtonians they should have a warm spot, for the march of the seventh regiment to this city in 1861 was one of the remarkable and mem- orable evenis of the rebellion, At a crisis in the affairs of the nation when it seemed almost certain that the government was about to perish the young men of the seventh seized the arms which in days of peace and as a manly pastime they had learned to use with skili, and, abandoning their business pursuits at a | sacrifice of untold thousands, hastened away | to the relief of the national capital, For man; | years this regiment had been the pride Yori. and when with enthusiasm its members unfurled the stars and stripes the excitement in the city was intense, LIECT. COL. GEO, M. SMITH, The military organization now known as the seventh regiment commenced its existence in the year 1806 by the organization of its trst four companies, and its origin is directly traceable to circumstances of great historical interest. From that time until the present it has taken an active part in all military affairs which concerned the welfare of the state or Union, as well as all celebrations in which the militia has taken part. The regiment is composed of ten companies and will ‘be headed by the Seventh Regiment Band, which is almost as famous as the organ- ization with which it is connected, MAJ. WAL. H. KIPP.

The forty-sixthSéparate company, National Guard, state of Néw York, with headquarters are during their stayin the city quartered | stil it now ranks as one of the best companies in the state. It consists of 104 men, well armed. uni. j formed and equipped, and ready for active | service at a very short notice, as was proven during the railroad strike at Buffalo last sum- mer. Before the company was a yoar old it went to state camp fora tour of service, and was then considered by the state officials as second to none in the state. Last fall the pose of raising funds to attend the inaugura. tion of the next President, whether democratic or republican, not merely for their own pleas- ure, but to have Montgomery county repre- sented at the national capital on this occasion. The company has drilled with some of the bes! | fire companies in the state, and has carried off the honors as well as the money. Capt. Darwin E. Vunk enlisted in the } tional Guard in 1870 and served four | was then discharged on account of the re ment being mustered out of state service. “in 1884 he organized a division of uniformed rank Knights of Psthias, which became one of the finest divisions in the United States, under his command When the forty-sixth company was mustered into service he was commis- sioned captain, and is well supported by his | able first lieutenant, George Hughes, and sur- geon, Dr. Hyland. THE MARYLAND FIFTH. Raltimore’s Gallant Soldier Boys Help to Swell the Great Pageant. One of tho most famous and popular military organizations that took part in the inauguration is the fifth regiment of the Mary- | land National Guard. This is the great Balti- more regiment that numbers in ite ranks some of the very finest young men of the mon- umental city. The regiment was organized in 1867 and has taken part in every inaugural pa- rade since that of 18 command of Col. W. A. Boykin, and under his careful attention it has taken a very high place asacrack drill organization, and its officers have good reason for the belief that there is nothing in the parade that can give them point- ers iu marching. Col. Boykin's command consists of twelve companies, divided into three battalions. They are drilled under the United States regulations and will march in twenty-four files, solid, or about fifty-five men toscompany. ' The fifth was an applicant for the position of guard of honor to the President-electand they had many earnest backers, but they concurred graceful; in the decision’ of the grand marshal of the parade. The personnel of the regiment is above reproach and its officers cannot be sur- passed, probably, by any regiment in the Na- tinal Guard. Col, Boykin brings with him, all told, about 700 officers and men. Col. W. A. Boykin, the popular commandant of the fifth, was born in Richmond, Va., April 9, 1851, and is» son of the late Gen. Francis Marshall Boykin. He was brought up at the beautiful country home of his father, which is situated on the James river, in Isle of Wight county. Early in 1862, the beginning of the second year of the war, the dwelling, with valu- able plate, funiture, barns, stables, &c., was burned by the Union army. The family then moved to Richmond, where the prospective colonel was sent to school, and completed his education at Aberdeen Academs King and Queen county, and was graduated at Davidson College, North Carolina. He ac- cepted a situation in Norfolk, where he resided until 1890, when he moved with his family to Baltimore. He isa momber of the prosperous firm of Ulman, Boykin 4 Co., and enjoys the confidence of the entire business community. Col. Borkin commenced his military career asa member of the Norfolk Light Artillery Blues, and for eight vears was one of its most zealous members. Ho first saw the fifth Mary- land in Boston in 1876 at the unveiling of the Bunker Hill monument, and was impressed with its splendid marching and fine personnel, When he came to Baltimore he was persuaded by his friend, the Inte Capt. William P. Zol- linger, who commanded the fifth during the B. and Q. riots in 1877, to accept the first lieutenancy of company K, which he built up to be one of the largestand finest companies of the regiment. He was made captain of com- pesy K, unanimously elected maj then lieutenant colonel, and finally, in May just before the regiment visited Richmond to participate in the ceremony attending the un- veiling of the Lee statue. he was made colonel, and commanded the regiment on that occasion. Col. Boykin isa thorough soldier, a strict disciplinarian, is impartial to a degree, and al- ways has an eye to the personal comfort of his men. From about 400 men he has built the fifth Maryland up to 750 enlisted men, 54 com- missioned officers and 75 musicians, making in all nearly 900 men and officers, so that he will take 1,000 enlisted men to Chicago next sum- mer. ‘His influence with the Baltimore city council secured for the regiment an sp- proprintion sufficient to put the armory in a splendid condition, and it can be safely said t under the command of Col. Boykin the regiment has attained a higher state of efliciency than ever before in its . He has the confidence and esteem of the entire command, the members of which appreciate the work he bas done.
