Lf the legislators are very anxious to do some- tbing for the guard let them provide clothing, blankets, canteens, and urge ipon the United States Government to arm the troop with the Springfield mus- kets that have en discarded for the K orgensens. That is what we want, something that wiN pnt the National Guard on the footing that ought it to be on.

These meelings were principally the drills will be resumed this week. “Th:}y talk out reorganizing the guard,” said a private of the Second Brigade, on Saturday. “They had better let that alone fora while, and pay some attention to putting the existine companies in this brigade at least in proper shape and give them all that the law and the regulations say they are entitied to, conversation With 4 member of tue signal corps a day Or tWo 8go, he told me that more than a year ago his company madea requisition for forty helters for tke horses, but to use his own woids, ‘they haven’t yet arriv’; and not havirg any halters they are witbout link straps, which are in use to link four horses together when, in the drill, the order to dismount is given and No. 4 has to midd his own and three horses. As necessity is the mother of invention, when that order 1s given now, No. 4 has to grab the four sets of reins, who can prey and it makes & very unhandy handful and | it prevents bim from handling the horses | as he could if link-straps were used. This signalman to!d me that for want of haiters they have to carry hayropes to fasten their horses, and if they have mone of these they have to take off their shoe lacets to use for hitching lines. There is also a regulation that requires the members of the corps to be provided with coils of rope, to ehable them to stake their horses when out on bivousc, but they have not got them. The same neglect to provide what ought to be provided runs along the entire yine aof the brigade, and yet when an division | H.

Caprain Jenk’s cavalry company, in order to arrive at all the facts of the debt which this company has been carring for 50 long. Lieutenant-Colonel Joseph G. Geisting, sistant adjutant-general of the Second igade, has gone East for a few weeks. Surgeon-General W. E. Hopkins ana F. de L. Carrington, captain First Infantry, U. 8. A., specially aetailed by the War Department with the National Guard, are no longer {riendly, as far as National | Guard affairs go. The caotain in his report | to Adjutant-General Barrett presented a | plan of reorganization of the guard which | has been pretty strongly commented upon | by many milifary men in and out of the guard. Now comes the surgeon-general, who in his reports to the adjutant-general | says: “Iam much opposed to the regi- | mental organization suggested by Captain Carrington in his recent report. I resent | the fact thatmy old friend and comrade in arms should have deemed it his dutv to ‘ make such an important and unqualified statement without preliminary consulta- tion with me.” Of course this refers to the part of Captamn Carrington’s report in which he says: “The medica! department (of the National Guard) needs reorganiza- | tion, and proper legislation looking to it should be invited at the earliest mo- | ment. For State troops I think it is prob- ably better to maintain a regimental than a general medical department.” The Woodland Company. WOODLAND, CarL, Jan. 8.—The first drill of the year took place last Wednes- day eveninz. About forty men were in attendance. Close and extended order | drill were gone through in a very cred- itable manner, which goes to show that the boys have not grown rusty during the month’s lay off. Everything in and about the armory is in good shape. The only thing lacking is a flag to run up on the new pole. What the company needs most is a suitable place for 300 and 500 yard ranges. The only place available 1s in the tule land about four of town, and that is covered ent time. So we don’t know exactly w todo. The foot- | bali team of tne company played its first game Christmas day with an aggregation of Berkeley stadents and was bealen 10 the tune of 14 to 0. The boys are not dis- | couraged thou nd are ready to nego- tiate for a game with a team from some one of the ot er companie: The company is going to give a grand annual bail some time in February and wants soldiers from everywhere Lo at- tend, be they militiamen or regulars. Two new members were admitted to the company at the last meeting and sevaral apolications are on the board ready 10 bs acted on &t the next meeting. News ¥rom the Seventh, SANTA ANA, CaL, Jan, 9.—Wednesday evening was an eventful occasion with Company L of the Seventh Reeiment, N. G. C., of this city, the seventh anni- versary of the organization of the com- vany being celebrated on that date with a | pubiic drill and company banquet. The armory parlors and Spurgeon’s Hall, which is immediately adjoining and used as a drillroom, were thrown open to the 200 invited guests who assembled to enjoy an evening with the soldier-boys, | The company drill, which occupied about an hour and a half, was a splenaid exhibition of military discipline and was flatterinely received by the large audience. Captain Finley’s command never ap- peared to better advantage than on this enjoyable birthday occasion. Following the regular company manual drill came a competitive drill in the school of the soldier, in which eight men par- ticipated, Corporal John Abbey Leing awarded the medal for the best drilled | soldier of the squad. The visitors then spread through the spacious and comfortable quarters of the company, becoming acquainted with the commanding officer or the regiment, Colonel Jobn R. Berry, and Lieutenant- Colonel Shreiber, who were the visitors of | honor, and all being well entertained by the contact with the local State soldiers. | At 10 vclock the company marched to | the Hotel Brunswick, where, with a few | press representatives and ex-members ot | distinction, a splend:d banquet was en- | joyed, foliowed by happy after-inner | talks,which lasted far into thenight. Cap- | tain 8. H. Finley acted as toastmaster, and responses were made by Colonel | Berry, Lieutenant-Colonel Schreiber. ex- Major C. 8. McKelvey, Major H. T. Mat- | thews, ex-Captain Parke S.

Han- nah | Following these speeches, which were | allof a pleasurable and _soldierly vein, | Corporal Dresser arose and in s few well | chosen remarks presenied Captain Finley with a handsome chain and charm as a | token of the esteem in which he was held | by the company and its high appreciation | of bis efforts for the past two years as | commanding officer. The capiain was surprised and nonplused for a moment at this turn of affairs, but soon recovered | himself and accepted the gift in a grace- ful speech. The evening wasa great success through- | out, and the ~eventh anniversary of Com- | pany L will long be cherished in the | memory of those present. Colonel Berry | paid the boys many flattering tributes, | tor its splendid suowing at the late emer- | gency call, when sixty-two of its sixty- | four members responded, the two absent | ones bemng out of town. The company | now numbers over seventy, but there are only five men in its ranks of the original Company F of the Ninth Regiment, which | was mustered in seven vears a<o. The rooms which have so long been used as the armory and general quarters | are soon to be abandoned, the company | having leased a two-siory brick building on West Fourth street, which will be thorougnly fitted up for those purposes. | The Oldest National Guardsman, | InTHE CALL yesterday was an account of the mililary career of Sergeant C.

It stated that Sergeant Lilis has been an sctive member of the guerd for thirty-six years, having gone into service in 1861. It was stated that he had done sctive service longer than any one in tbe State militia. To this Corporal Lou Townsend of Company B, City Guard, First Infanty Regiment, takes exceptions, Corporal Townserd states that he and not Ellis has done the longer service. He has been forty- three years continuously in the National Guard, having eniisted 1n 1854.

O ficers and Privates May Con- test With Players at Van- couver Barracks. An Effort to B> Made to Build Up a Strong Elev:n for Next Season. There is happiness in army and navy circles over the victory of their football players in Saturday’s society game with the University Club team. It is likely that as a result of the match football will become a regular annual pastime with the young officers stationed here, as it has long been with the undergraduates at the universities. And next season a team may go north. The spirit bas been aroused all right, and the only obstacle will be the uncer- tainty and the paucity of gzood material from which to build a team each year. The location of naval officers is so unre- liable; the good football players among them may be in port one day and ordered to sea with their ship the next. The pos- sibilities among the army officers are more stable. The different posts about San Francisco will have to furnish material that may generally be counted on to be here on the day of a game. “There are probably about seventy-five commissioned officers from which to choose an eleven,” said Lieutenant Nolan yesterday at the Presidio. *The Univer- ty Club team may be picked from hun- reds of men, all of whom have played the game. Only a fewof the otficers bave played. We had but two extra men in case of accident to our team yesterday. “This Army and Navy team 1s, i be- lieve, the first combination of the kind that has ever been known in the Uniied States service. Those of us that had played before had always met on the field as rivals, representing West Point and An- | napolis.” It wasa novel thing for usall 10 be on one team, and- it proved a pleas- experience. Then, after the game we were all dined at the University Club. “Che greatest encouragement is deing | given to athletics in the army now. It has been found to improve the enlisted men and keep them out of dissipation by Lieutenant King of the Seventh Cavalry, the Fullback Who Gained 603 Yards for the Army and Navy Team in the Recent Society Game. demonstrating to them how much better they feel for being in good athletic condi- tion. “One thing we hope to have next year is a strong football team made up of the enlisted men. There is alreadv some talk of arranging a series of games between the represeniatives f the army here and those in the Department of the Columbia. The Vancouver barracks have had a good team for several years. The officers play on the team with the enlisted men up there. It would probably be the same way here. ““One of the pames would likeiy be played here and one in Portland, while if a third were necessary to decide the winner a place could be decided upon for the final game. We would like to work this thing up. The only objections would be the difficulty probably of obtaining the con- sent of the commanders to a trip.” Lieutenant King, who was the star of the game on Saturday, came here from Fort Grant, Arizona, on a short leave of aocsence, granted especiaily that he might take part in the football match. He will leave the Presidio to-day for his siation. After Lieutenant Nolan, captain of the Army and Navy team, had very liberal permitted tue introduction into the Uni- versity Club team of university veterans that were not membe:s of the club he then arranged for Lieutenant King to come up from Arizona. The original challenge had, however, been from the' Univereity for & game between its members and the otficers of the army and navy stationed here. King was graduated from West Point only last summer. He was then assigned to the Seventh Cavalry stationed at pres- ect at Fort Grant in Arizona, Heis a native of Massachusetts and was & mem- ber of the West Point team during his whole four years at the academy. He captained the team the last two vears, is record as a kicker in the Army and Navy and University Club match has probably never been equaled in a game on this const. He punted thirteen times for atotal gain of 524 yards or an average of - over forty yards for each kick. He was given the ball nineteen times and gained a total of seventy-nine yards by runs. Only once did he fail to gain and that time he was tackled behind the line for & loss of three yards, ' . e CAPT.T).CUNNINGHAM oy Four of the National Guardsmen Who Were Prominent in the Inter-Republic Match With the Hawaiian National Guard, MILITARY MUSKET, RIFLE AND PISTOL The Inter-Republic Match With the Hawaiian Guard. The First Regiment Men Badly Handicapped by the Cold Weatht.fr. Sharpshooting C.ubs Hold Their Ini- tial Contests—The Columbia’s 2 Progr.mms. The great 100-man military rifls match between teams from the First Regiment N. G. U. and the Heawaiian National Guard took place yesterday—at least one-half of it took pluce. The members of the Cali- fornia team assembled in full force at the 8hell Mound rifle range yesterday and it is expected that the Hawaiians also gath- ered at their range near Honolulu. The scores made by the two teams will be ex- changed by the earliest steamers. The conditions were that each team should consist of 100 men who were 1o fire ten shcts each at 200 vards off kand with military muskets. The losing team is to present the winners with a trophy valued at $100. It is feared that the California team wilt have to purchase the trophy for the islanders, for the men did not shoot in their usual form on account of the very | cold weather. Besides, some of the best men in the regiment were by some over- sight or mistake left out of the contest and the poor sbots putled the averace of | 39.52. Such marksmen as C. F. Waithom | of Company C, A. F. Ramm of D, C. H. Otten of I, S. Clavssenius of B and H. B. Taylor of B, all of whom are good for from 40 to 46, failed to shoot in the team. If the match be lost this misforture is responsible for it. As stated, the men hud the elements to contend against, for a cold, chilling wind that benumbed’ the marksmen blew across the range all day and whipped the bullets right and left, up and down, all day and made the men wish for a few hours of baimy islcnd climate. It would have been hard to have had the event fall on a worse day. ‘The local marksmen were under the direction of Louis Barrere, inspector of rifle practice, ana Major Mugh T. Sime. Hawaiian Consul Wilder was present on the range as the official representative of the Honolulu marksmen. As the men entered the range they were ob.iged to passa combined emblem of the two re- publics, and although it was small many raised their caps. This consisted of two miniature flags of the United States and Hawaii. Under these were the worda “E Pluribus” and *“Aloha.”” A miniature broom was placed between the two. Up to noon the shooting was remark- ably poor. A. H. Kenneay got a cup of hot coffee and broke the ice by going to 44. A litue later Lieutenant Seeley followed suit, but Chris Meyer forged ahead ot both with 44 on Creedmoor, The latter stood | at the heaa until late in the day, when A. | E. Ehrenpfort made the top score of 45, as | foliows: 4554445455 The regiment | offered three cash prizes or medals, as the men desired, to the three making the highest scores in the team.

In addition to the prizes offered by the regiment for the three best scores, Captain L. Siebe, proprietor of the range, offered three medals to the marksmen making in the match the greatest improvement over their practice scores. It will take several days to figure out the winners of these medals. It is likely that the First Reziment will have another 100-man match on its hands, for the Fifth Regiment men have declared that they would issue a challenve if the First men did not average over 42 points in yesterday’s shoot. Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club. The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Club has arranced one of the finest shooting pro- grammes for the present year ever pre- sented to the public on the Pacific Coast. It has offered eighteen beautiful medals, which 1ncludes eight class medals for members only. Besides the ten re-entry all-comers medals, it offers about a dozen cash prizes ranging from §2 to $5, and several valuable trophies, to be distributed at the end of the year. These are known as consolation prizes, and those who almost win but fail to secure medals will be consoled by other prizes. The re-entry medals have been ‘donated by F. H. Bushnell, W, inde- mann, Achille Roos, F. 0. Young, Gordon,| Blanding. Howard Carr and Caotain L. Siebe, all members of the club. It is not the principle of this organization to beg prizes for its members from the general public. So varied is the programme and so valu- able are the inducements that much shooting is expected this year. The Columbia Ciub has taken another step that its memoers think is in the cause of At its last meeting it was decided to admit ladies into the club upon an equality with the men and with all the rights and privileges that the most favored of the male sex enjoy. About six or eight ladies, all of whom are experts with firearms, who are relatives of the. men, have signified their intention of joining the club and competing with the men in all of the matches. This is the first rifle and pistol club in the United States, if notin the world, which recognized the equality of women in this manner. Italso added another class (third) to its membersbip competition in order to give the new members and. poorer shots with pistol ana rifle a chance to progress without getting discouraged by being out- classed by the more proficient. The contests in the many matches yes- terday were spirited, and the following scores were made on the new Columbia target: .

B His Balloon Burst. Emil Markeburg, the aeronaut, had his third lucky escape yesterday at the Chutes. This time he encountered a rotten balloon, but by uick action and good judgment saved his life. Asit was, he might have been dashea to death against the ground but for the 1act that he struck the scenic railway in felling. When the balloon was let go its lower part burst under his weight, and he saw the oniy way to save himsell was to cut ioose, which he did at the height of 100 feet, just above the railway. He received no injuries. The Doctor’s Examination! Lovdal, Mec~ OU HAVE HAD BILIOUS ATTACKS all your life? Yes, doctor. You say your temperament is naturally bilious Yes, doctor.
