ED TO Mork THan Two Hun- 
DRED MEMBERS. 
It has been impossible to properly 
handle all of the applications for en- 
rolment in the Manchester Home 
guard, so fast have they been pouring 
in during the last week. Since the 
enrolment of 153 members on Wed- 
nesday night of last week, 58 more 
applications have been recorded and 
several dozen others, who have made 
verbal aplications for enrolment, have 
been overlooked. Drilling of Com- 
pany A, the first class of recruits, 
started on Monday night when 72 
men were on the floor of Town hall 
for instructions in facings and steps 
of marching. For “first nighters” 
they made a creditable showing. 
Owing to the lack of sufficient in- 
structing officers it was necessary to 
drill the entire company instead of 
squads, and it was due to the eager- 
‘ness of all to learn that any progress 
was possible. 
On Wednesday night Company Bb, 
whose enrolment had meantime swell- 
ed to more than 100, drilled in the 
hall. A few more experienced men 
were present to assist in the drilling, 
but owing to the large number on the 
floor and the disposition of some of 
the company not to take the drilling 
seriously, a little difficulty was experi- 
enced at first. Some of the more ex- 
perienced men gave an exhibtion of 
marching at the close of Wednesday 
evening’s drill that was praiseworthy. 
The total enrolment of both com- 
panies is now 212. 
Beginning next Monday evening 
Company A will gather at the Essex 
Country club on School st. for drill, 
the polo field, so-called, having been 
generously offered by the committee 
in charge. Company B will drill at 
the club on Wednesday night. In 
event of rain on either night the drill 
will be held the following night. 
Members of both companies are re- 
quested to be at the drill grounds by 
seven o'clock or as much before as 
possible. 
A number who have volunteered to 
drill with the companies have found 
that their names are not on the com- 
pany rolls. This is due to the rush 
with which the organization was 
formed and in many cases to the fact 
that the applicants have offered their 
services to members of the committee 
at places outside the drill hall. In 
order to be properly enrolled, if your 
name does not appear now, you should 
notify Oscar F.-Raymond, 75 School 
st., who is the secretary and recruit- 
ing officer. Names will also be add-
