Bugle and Drum Band.

9th Battalion " Voltige1lrs."

On the 25th March, 1885, I inspected the Quebec" Voltigcurs" in tho Drill Shed. The Battalion, in charge of Lt. Colonel G. Amyot, mustered full Rtrengtb, and marched past in column, quarter.column and in quick and double time. The Majors and senior Captains were called out to perform Battalion movement~, and the way they were performed showed that officers and men haJ paid attention to ini;trnctions given. The Drill Shed, I must say, is altogether small, for a battalion of eight companier:> to appear with udvantage; nevertheless, I found a considerable improvement on former yeurs. The men composing this Corps were of good physique and showed ateadiDess in the ranks.

The armP, accoutrements and clothin?, were clean and in good order. On the the 31st .Marc:h last tho 9th "Voltigeurs 'received orders to proceed on immediate active sen ice to the North-West, and after having made tho necessary arrangements, left Quebec on 1he 12th April. After an arduous and fatiguing journey they rt'acLed Winnipeg, where they were encamped for 12 days. They afterwards were quartered at Swift Current and Calgary, and later distributed in detachments at Fort McLeod, Langdon, Gleichen and Crowfoot, in tho vioinity of tho Blackfeet, Piegan and Bloc d Indinn Reserves. They returned to Quebec on the 21st Jnly, 1885, and were given an enthusiastic reception by their comrades in arms and the citizens. Previons to disbanding the regiment I made an inspection, and was greatly pleased with the ba1 dy and soldierly appearance of the men, notwithstanding the tattered look of clothing and accoutrements, you saw that their service in the North-West Terri­tories had been on•o reflect credit on the Militia of the country.

The Battalion has an efficient Band composed of brnes and reed instruments. Thi ee Office1s belonging to this Corps have been lately appointed to other fler-

vices. Captain Caegrttin has been given a commission in the Royal Engineers. Lieutenant O. C. Pelletier, after having volunteered for active service with

"B" Battery, R. S. A., was wounded at Cut Knife, and after his roturn here was f?azetted Lieutenant in the same Battery with which he bad distinguished himself. Captain Drolet bas been appointed Lieutenant in tho Mounted Infantry Corps lately formed at Winnipeg.

.Artillery.

The following were inspected by the Dominion and A.ssist:int Inspectors of Artil­lery, and ioport will be made by them to headquarterl:!.

Gasp' Battery, G. A.

The Gasp~ Battery was inspected by Lieut.-Col, Taschereau, Brigade-Major, in consequence of changes of detachments of " B " Battery.

Annories.

The Armories in the city are in a very satisfactory state, and the rural Armories also reported favorably by the Brigade Major, with few exceptions.

Owthing and Accoutrements.

,, T~e clo~ing .in this Di~trict is in fair condition, except that of the 9th Battalion Vol~geurs, which .on th ell' ~eturn fro~ .the campaign in the North-West was

examrned and found m a delap1dated cond1t10n. The same may be said of their knapsacks, haversacks and accoutrements.

. There is .an urgent necessity that the Force should be provided with valise equ1p~ent (Oliver pattern) as at present the knapsacks are unserviceable, and the tar w1th wh10h they are covered destroys the olothing. In Camp men can be seen with patches of black, which cannot be rubbed off.

Rifle Associations.

Tbe ~ifle Associatioi;is are still wot king satisfactorily, and hflre held as in former years, their annual meetmgs. '

course, first to be selected fo1· Active Service in the .North West. On the 11th May, however, I received the following telegram from the Adjutant.

General: "Battalion consisting of Infantry School and 8 Companies (afterwa~ds increased to 10) Active Militia, under yonr CJmmand, required for immediate service in North West. What Companies do you select and when can Battalion move?"

To tbe above I at once replied, indicating the Companies "rea:ly to move in four dayc from Orders."

In selecting Companies for this service, being desirous not to interfere unduly with the industrial pursuits of any particular class. and with the view to all part.cl of the Province being fairly reprc~onte<l, I issued ordera of readiness to foor Compaoies 62nd St. John Fusiliers, Lt..tJolonol Blaine, representing City Corps, and to one CIOm·

paoy of each of the followiof.{ Infantry Battalions, representing Country C.n·ps (67tb, 7let, 73rd, 74th).

This Battalion, with the acquisition of tw·o Comp&­niea ofinfantry (oamod below) from Prince Eiward Island, subsequently notified, was ready and willing, aa ready ag willing, within the four days namod for thu sllr· vice required.

and as a roi;nlt, thore wll.!4 general improvement in efficiency. It may bo a Med the;e is u steudy incro..&bo, io tho different Infantry Corpc1, in tho numberc1 of Officer and Non·Commissioned Officers trained at the School of Infantry; and, morco"er, where Oftlcors and Non-Commissioned Officers are qualified for thoir posi t ionA, men of a superior claqs are willing to join the ranks. This bas proved to be tho rule of late.

The wouthor, during tho period of training, was all that could be do,.ired. In view of the above, I huve no hesitation in stating my opinion, that at no pre­

vious Camp bad I observed moro marked progiei;s from day to day, nor at any Camp was the RcgiT" Pntal system of oar:h Corps bot tor carr ird oat. N'ot only for improvement in drill, therefore, but as regards discipline, WU:i the Brigndo in tbiq Camp remarkable.

In contiequeoce of thiH satif.factory state of things, I wnR enableJ to lt'nd the Force on step by step, from Company to Battalion and .Brigade Drills and field' manamvres, with rupidity, considering, that with the exception of the lufantry School O>rp ... , no Infantry Corps had performed Drill in Camp since 1883,

There were many viHitors daily in Camp, and numeroud spectators at tho F ield manreuvres on the la&t three days of training.

Tho Rev. G. G. Roberts, Chaplain of the Provisional Battalion on Active Service last spring, to whom we are much indebted, conducted Divine service on Sunday, the 27th September.

The Young Men's Christian Association, with the best interests of tho P'orcu and its individual members in view, pitched its tent for the first time in Brignde Camp in this District. The soldiers were lhus enabled to spend tboir lei1rnre b" urs in Cumµ with pleabure and profit. Previous to the breaking np of the Camp, Hi~ Honor the Lieutenant-Governor most kindly prebented the different prizes ubove referred to.

A:i at Shi:'diac Camp last year, having been Inspecting Officer of Infantry.~~ well at1 Commandant of the Brigade, it becomes my duty to raport somowhnt in

detail respecting each particular Corps. My "Confidential" report of the examination of Officers, r equired by General

orders (17) of 31st July, 1885, will accompany this report.

Woodstock FieW, Battery-Major Dibblee.

The report of the ln;ipoctor of Artillery as to his inspection at Battery Camp, Woodstock, on 24th September, 1884, was unfavorable, and it w~ rooommondod that for the better observation of diEcipline, hours of drill, &c., lh1s Battery ~hould join a Brigade or Artillery Camp. .

I.iieut.-Colonel Irwin alt>o pointed out that they woro thon (1884) armed "ith tho obsolete 9 pounder S. B. gun and 24-poundor ~owitzer, and wit~ t!UCh wca1.ons it iR difficult to maintain any zeal or interest 10. gunnery prnctrco. Tho abov.e ob. tnclc1=1 to efficiency having been removed by the JSbUO of !I-pounder M. L. R. guns, 11nd the Battery being nsRembled in Br.igade Camp, I carefully ob:-;e~·vcd th·o· t1l?~1> tnkcn by Mnjor Dibblee to secure effici ency. I hope tho lm1pocto1 of A1 t1lle1 Y t:>

Report this year may be moro favorable than that of lni;t yei~r .. I hope, too, that with the support. and al-lsistanco of tho i·ocently promoted Capturn (Rrnery), nod by filling tho now vacant po8ition1:1 with qualified Officorll, thero may bo furlhor prog1 e,,s in vie>w.

Owing to the want of a enitablo Land Range th_o p~ctice was not carried out in Camp. It should bo 1•arried out in winter on tho river 100.

Having had three Troops of this Regiment in the Brigade Camp. under my command at Shediac last year, I there ob3erved with pleasure tho unc~as.ing ett>rts of the Lt -Colonel and his officers in the attainment of efficiency, and it 1s only by unceasing effort.a that much can be accomplished in. a C.lvalry He.gim ant in the far too brief period of trainining for that arm.

The Camp was well pitched, and most picturesque as to s1~uat1on, on the b.u1~s of the Kennebecasis River, the regimental arran~ements for rations and fora~e woie excellent, \he horses well protected from the inclement weather at tb.o late sca'lon of the encampment.

I regret to have to report three deaths nmong the hors~s 10 Camp Afte~ care­ful investigation I am of opinion that these deaths were accidental and unavo1d11~le.

There were 'numerous spectators at the in~pcction on tho 9th October, tihowmg that much interest is taken in thi!i nopular Ileg1ment.

The pte~en<'o in Camp of tho Iufontr y School Corps has proved fin undoubted advantage; tbe individual Boldieri; thereof i-erving, as they should , a'l cxampleR to others in steudinesR in the ranks, a11d in soldier-like appearance; tho Corp@, as a body, se1·viug1 as it should, as a model in general efficiency.

The number of com potent Non­Commie!lioned Officer!l also has increased of late. There iq, however, E.till room for im1irovement in this particular, both as regards Officers and Non-Commi~~ioned Officers.

The progress of tho men in tho knowledge and practice of drill and discipline, from day to day, has been most marked.

The Field Aitillery and Engineorb ha7o been inspected by the Iu.,pccting Offi­cerb oftho~e Arms of the Service, after c&1 cful attention to their hf ccrnl dutie ... , tho latte1 Corps pro-ving of mu<:h prectical utility in carrying out the inshuctior o of tho fo8pector of Engineerfl. as 1egards tho Camp nrrangemont for water !-upply, snnite­tion, communicationi;. &c., thus practising, in time of peace, the duties the Command­ing Engineer would have to pert< rm on ~ervico .

The coane of Target Practice has been carefully carried out by the Instructor of Mo11ketry.

Tho reEult of competition in cleanliness of armP, accoutrements and clothing, as well as in the internal arrangements of the Camp, has bern ve1 y snliffacto1 y.

The conduct of tho men has been mor.t exemplary, there being a total ub~ence of crimo or misconduct of any kind.

The Young Men'i. Christian Asi:ociation, with tho best intere~t of tho Force anJ its individual members in view, hllll pitched its tent for tho first time in .Brigade Camp in this Diotzict. The soldiers have thus been enabled to i,pend their le1Muro hours !IJ Camp with pleasure and profit. . . .

.Fmally, on the completion of tho most f;UCceisE<fol period of annual trarning, thu Command&nt deEirei:, in the most emphatic manner, to exprel!s to the Staff, from the Brigade Major downwazdl", and to Officcn~ commanding Corpe, his "incero thanks for snno1t, 11i,r.istance and well directed efforts to ensure succe~s.

To the For<:ei genernlly, a1e Lieut.-Coloncl.Maunsell's best thanks offered." By order,

HEADQUARTERS, WINNIPEG, 12th December, 1885.

Sm,-I have the honor to forward, for submission to the :Major-General Com­manding, this my Annual Report of the State of tho Militia in tbe Di11trict under my command.

AB all the Corps in tho District-with the except.ion of the four Indoper dont Infantry Companies, reportod by mo last year as inefficient, and rooommendod to be disbanded-wt-re employed on active service in the North:WC8t during tho Ia.to rebellion, and by G. 0. (17) :ilst July, wore consequently reheve<l..fron;i Annual Drill for 1885-86. I have no Inspection Return (tabular f?rm) ~~ ~ub_m1t t~1s Y?ar._

As however these latter exist only in the Militia List, further notice of them ia unnecos,~ary, beyond stating the fact that during tho rebellion Kildonan furnished a Company to .tho Winnipeg Light Infantry, un<lor the Command of Lieut.-Colonel W. Q.,,borne Smith, C. M. G., and Emert10n one, for home service, under Captain Whit­man.

The latter has been since relieved ~rom service and disbanded, by G. O. (21) 18~h ~eptem.oer, 18 5, but the fo.rmer still remains on the Active List, aa part of the Wmn1.rc:g L~ght Infantry Battahon. BJth wore no doubt largely representative of the original rndopendent Corps of these localities.

Cavalry

. The Winnipeg C!lval~ Troop under the command of Capt. Knight., served dur­ing ~ho recent .oampa1go ID the North.West Territory, and were encamped for a oonsi~orable time at Touchwood Hills with the Cavalry School Corps Commanded ~y L1~ut..Colonel T~bull, by whom they were inspected on the 16th July last 1mmod:1ately before their retutn to Winnipeg. '

Lieut.Colonel Turnbull conclndes his report of that inspection in the following words:-

. "Tak~n as a whole, this is the best troop of Volunt.eer Cavalry I have yet j°spectod m .Canada, and reflects great crndit upon their Instructor, Staff.Sergeant n.s~uctor Dmgloy, of the Sohool o~ ~avalry, from whom, in accordance with my

The Officers commanding both of tho above Batteries report the Gatling Guns in their charge partially unserviceable pending certain requisite repairs . Theso reports, however, have already been transmitted to Headquarters.

Infantry.

The 90th Battalion, Winnipeg Rifles, under command of Lieut..Colonol Mackeand. not having as yet received their new clothing, and their old being completely worn oat on service and long since discarded, have been obliged to confine themsef ves to night drills in plain clotheR, of which, however, they have put in a good many voluntarily in the new Drill Shed recently completed. This they propo~e doing throughout the winter, as the bui lding is now supplied with good heating stoves, and it is hoped that the gas light will be introduced shortly.

The arms of this Corps are well kept and carefully looked after in an armoury attached to the new Drill Shed, but many of them are greatly in need of repairo to render them at all fit for service, and in quite a number of instances the groove'i aro worn out of the barrels, so that anything like acclll'ate shooting can nevor again be expected from them.

When however, it is taken into consideration that nearly all the arms in this District were brought here by the Red River Expeditionary Force, over fifteen years ago, and that they were then far from new, it will not then be subject for much wonder that they are pretty woll worn out and have done their work. The accoutre· ments are also equally historical, and are totally unfit for service.

A complete new outfit of arms and accoutrement.a is, I consider, absolutely necessary to secure efficiency for this Corps.

The Winnipeg Light Infantry Battalion, under the command of Lioat.-Colonol W. 0:1borne Smith, C. M. G., being in part formed of Companies and men recrnlted from different portions of Manitoba, ie somewh!lt scattered tbroughont the Province at the present time, bat could probably be readily collected and brought back to .a :it.ate of efficiency at short notice, wore any emergency to arise, calling for their service8. Since their return from active service up to the present time, however, I am not aware that any steps have boon taken towards preserving a state of officioncy by voluntary drills or otherwise. This can easily bo accounted for by the severe indisposition of the Commanding Officer and his senior Major, both of whom u~for~u­nately met with serious accidents immediately after tho arrival of tho .Battalion in Winnipeg on its return from the North-West.

. Never having seen this Corps, I am unable to make any statemo~t with. regard to its present etficiency, but I understand that it performed gooJ sorv1ce durrng tho recent campaign. .

The arms, aoooutrcmonts, &o., of this Corps (uniforms excepted, they bo10g worn. oul) wore returned into store before tho Corps was dismis!!ed, for want of au armoury in which to place them. Ono Company however, namely that of Minnedo a, com­man~cd by Capt. Mcintosh, was pormittod to retain thoirs, and a fow .days a~o when. ~n~smg through that town co my way to Birtle, I took that opportunity of inspect­mg them, and I ha.vo to report that I found them clean and carefully lookod aftor.

Rat Portnge, nod one at Neepawa, thoroby constituting ~t. essentially a "Rural B:\ttal1on ...

'l'bc Companies at Brandon, Portage la Pramo, Morden and Noopawa have, I understand, boon performing somo voluntary drill since their return home, but I have not hoard that anf of tho others havo done so. Tho~c four C:>mpaoio~ above

mentioned nnd tho Stonewall Compnny, wore pormitto<l to tnko their nrms to their Company'; Hendqnarter111 the remainder being returned into store here. I lately inspected the arms of these Companie:; (with tho exception of Stonownll, which I have not yet bad time to vi:.it), and fonnd thorn in good order, under the direct care of tho Captain in each case, in a private armoury of hi8 own titting np.

Tho arm-. of tbeNeepawa Company wore in1:>pectcd and their condition reported favorably.

St. Jenn Baptiste was also visited but nlthough Captain Thibnult had been noti­led by lotter a full fortnight before, he did not prodnco so much as a single rifle for t018pection.

I beg to state that in my last two annunl reports I recommended the abolition -of this wortio than useless Company, but no notice hns so far been taken of my rcoom­"'1ondation in thi11 regard.

Tho new Drill Shod, which wa'! formally oponod by his Excellency the Governor General, on his return from .Brifoh Columbia, in October Inst, is a fine structure for the purpo:-e for which it is intended, and, with tho oxception of the floor, appears to give general sati,.faction to all concornod. From the nature of the soil _ of which tho :floor is made, the dust, when drilling it> going on, is exrecdingly objectionable, and i:;o very fine, that it even works its way into the armouries on the wings of the building, and battle on the insides of the barrels of the rifles, adhering to the oil, and nece-..sitating constant nt-e of the cleaning-rod and oil-rag, which causes much unncces­eary labor in keeping them clean, bc:;idcs being detrimental to the rifles.

A ~lid plank floor of matched spruce or pine lamber two inches thick, and laid on liunkcn sills ti inches by 6 inches, would only cost about Sl,500 (ior tho Drill ~all alone), and of this the Provincial Government offered to contribute $1,0vO, pro­v1~~ tho o~er was accepted before tho 1st January, 1886, on which date the appro­prmtion expucs. Tho Gun Shed also shonld be floored but for this I would recom­mend block paving similar to that on the .Main t1treet of

1Winnipeg which only costs

fl per suporticial yard, or thereabout. 1

Li~hting by gas wil~, ~f conr;.;o, ~ !lb~olutely necessary, bot I understand that tho maJD art) already laid mto the building, so that inside fittings and cost of gas consumed are all the expenses to be met in this connection.

A couple of small stoves will also be roquirod for the heating of the Armouries in addition to tho!'e already in the main hall of tho buildinO' '

GENERAL REMARKS.

I cannot conclude this report without alluding to the valuabl~ ser~i~s rondo;ed. to tho country, in the recent Rebellion, by tho local force of thl.S D1st.t;1ct1 wh1_ch, althoa h comparatively few in numbers, wore, neverthelof!S, _most useful in cbeck~ng th sp~eading of the Insurrection in the outbreak, by the highly prompt and prau;c­wirthy manner in which they responded to tho call of d~ty in tho outset, as well 88 b their subsequent conduct when brought face .t~ ~aco with the en~my. . y I t ust therefore that in view of tho po81nb1hty, at least, ot fntnro comphca­

t' :osaiting in f~rther troublo.ci in this great North-Wost country, and tho ;:sinterests that are at stake, not of a local nature only, but affec~i~g equal.ly tho entire Dominion of Canada., and even to a great extent the whole B~1tish Emp1r~-;-I ma be pardoned for stating openly that, in my opinion, a very cons1derab~o add~t~~n m.ifht even yet, ~ith.~reat ad_va~tage, be made to the strength of the Active M1htta authorized for thl8 Military D1str1ct.

Mounted Inf an try.

I feel confident that the experience of .the lat? campaign, has demonstrated be ond a doubt to the Major-General Comme.ndmg, &s it has to myself, _the adapt.a,. bitty of Mounted Infantry to gene.ral service in ~his country, and whilst thoy ~e most CO&tly to raise and difficult to tram at sh~rt notice, the_y are al o the mo3t ea~ maintaineri. in time of peace in the rural districts of a. farmrng country such as t , where the settlers are scattered and all horse-owners. . . . .

This will in futnrn be ~till more particularly the~· n?w that f~cihtt~I· ar~ afforded for officers, &c.1 to train for this branch of the sel'Vlce without bomg o ig togQ further than Winnipeg to attain that object. . . . . h" D" t . t be

Inspection report herewith. Still to complete :-Batteries Nos. 2, 3 and~ British Columbia P rovi6ional

Begiment Garrison Artillery. Owing to the late date of the receipt of orders t-0 commence drill , permission

was applied for, and received, to extend t he drill -period to the 1st of Apr il, 1886, as the winter period is always the most favorable for evening drills. I am of opinion that in this District , at least, much good would result from this extension each year.

It would also permit of the inspection taking place towards the end of March, when the weather is almost invariably :fine, instead of, aa now, in the beginning of November, when wet weather generally interferes with careful out-of-doors

ins~~~~ctive Militia have, during t he year, in addition to Annual Drill, performed the following duties :-

Guards ot Honor were provided at the opening of t he P rovincial Legislature and the reception of His Excellency the Governor General during his viRit to the P ro­.,ince. Salutes were also :fired on Dominion Day and H er M.sjest.y's 13irthday.

GENERAL RD!ABKS.

New Oorpa.

The formation of Batteries of Garrison Artillery at Nanaimo and Gran d lle, and of a Mounted Rifie Corps at Okanagan, are again strongly r ecommended.

Equipmtnt (Stores.)

Attention is again ealled to tho inco'!Dpleteness of District Stores in the matter of Artillery clothing and accoutrements. Al.so to the nec8ti8ity of replacing tho present store of Rifle acooutrementa with other and more modern patterns. The equipment of existing Artillery Corps has been completed.

Clothing.

The present system of supply of clothin~ does not appear to give satisft1ction • Good men object to wear part wor n clothing, a nd probably with much reason, and it seems to me that some syst em might be devised to meet thi8 difficolty, which is especially gr~at. in a country like this, .where the papnlnti:m, t~ a largo ext~nt1 is OOtlstantJy shifting. Loss is also occasioned by this state of th1ogs-mon qmttrng the ~untry and talcing their uniforms with them, or leaving it at their lsto lodgmgs, without notifying the proper Officer. Thero seems no means, at prc..,cnt, to overcome the ditliculty, as where evening drills are carried oo, tho men mmlt be .\llowed to have their clothing in their p<>13session •

Arms.

I am of opinion that the same reaeons as g iven by me in my Report for 1883 nod !884 a1ill hold good, as to the nececsity of a change in the tylc of :.mall arms lESUed to this District, and beg rc8pectfully to call attention to thu matter.

I wh1h again to cnll attention to the small quantity of ammunition on oharg Wo have le,..," than 100 rounds per gun for the 7·inch and 8-inch guns and ha.rdi' nny for tho G1-pni. At lea.st 400 rounds per gun should be always i~ reserve rlr tbOBe gnnR.

I ~ i~h ag1nn to call particular attention to tho Armament of the Battery at New \V_ef.ltmin::ter, and request that early st-0ps may be taken to provide this fine Batte with ser~1ceable.gun .

Upon examination, it was found that tho stump which formed the pivot for the 8-inoh 9-ton gun was rotten, and it waa determined to lay down a heavy triangle a1J

an anchor for the new pivot. This wa.'I covered in with concrete, and appear.i to aJISWer well. It is likely to last for many years.

New Artillery Store has been built.

Magazine (Beacon 11.ilI),

Ras been lined and fitted with racks, for tho better storage and arrangement of

the gunpowder. .Mauazino Store has been provided. Pla~kwalk connocting .Magazine and Shifting Room has been laid down. After repairs were effected, two rounds were fired from each gnn--one service

and one battering, from the 7·inch end S·inch-a.nd service charges from the 6!-pounder.

Capt. Alington, R.N., and tho Gunner of H. M. S. "Sattelite," were present, and concurred with me as to the satisfactory working of the guns and fittings.

Should it be intended to occupy those works permanently, it would be advisable to gradually replace the wooden picket revetments by brick work.

The wooden platforms on which are ecrewed the racers for the traversing slides should be removed, and iron racers, upon chain and sleepers (Col. Inglis' plan), laid in concrete, substituted.

Much additional cov~r, of a permanent character, might be obtained by lowering the guns about 2 feet.

Better Magazine accommodation is reqnirad at Finlayson's Point and Brothers•

Island.

Reserve Militia Enrolment.

I beg to call your attention to my remarks .upon this subject in mv. ReJ_>Ort for 1883. It is, I consider, a matter of great importance, and my opiuwn is much strengthened by thiR fa.ct, that although great excitement and ~nxiety f?r protection was manifested by the inhabitants of this section of the Provmce during tho past spring, when war with Ro.asia appeared imminent, very few persons came. ~orward. to llilt!ist in defending themso'ves by joining the band of loyal men oompr1s1ng the already enrolled Active Mili~ia.

Staff Sergt. Kinsella., .R.0.A., Drill Instructor, has performed his duties during the past year to my satisfaction. . .

1n conclusion, I wish to express my appreciation of the cord1a~ ~si.stance roo-dered to me on all occasions, when required, by MaJOr McDonell, D1str1ot Paymaster and Superintendent of Stores, and Lieut. Snowden, B. O. G. A, Orderly Officor.

I have the honor to be, Sir, Your obeJient servant,

This year it baa been the well.earned good fortune of this Corps to come to tho front rank in the Dominion and take the leading prize for a competition for a 6 hours

work.

Drill Bhed-Oharlotteuntm.

To be in keeping with the Force I requested the Brigade-Major to forward esti­mates for some needed repairs to the front sill of the Drill Shed, also for some interior alterations and the painting of at least tho front of the building which gots the worst of the weather. At present it looks rather disreputable.
