The march was for about twelse miles, being around by j Kingston Mills. On Tuesday morn- { ing another short march was taken down. the Barviefield road, in com- mand of Major Reirdon. The borses being used by the 22nd battery spey not all of the best Kind for artillery work. Some ave rather ad heavy and some altogether too ight. . As new horses are constantly arriving, the best will be kept, and those of not the right weight for ar tillery purposes will be used for trans- ports, for which sixty'three are need- ed for the 21st battalion for riding, draught and other purposes. The pipe band in the 21st battalion is receiving a number of requests to give selections on the pipes at en- tertainments. One of them remarked that every person in Kingston seemed to be Scotch descent, Part of the band is from the St. Andrew's band in Ottawa. The members of the 2lst battalion who have been granted leave of ab- sence for the holiday leave at noon on Thursday. About eighty per cent. of the battalion have been; given fur loughs. At the veterans' 'meeting on Monday night, Lieut.-Col. W. 8. Hughes men. tioned that forty cent. " the men in the let battalion were old coun- try men. Unly two of the officers were not Canadian. One was Scotch and the other was English born. - ' a The request for Unristmas donations to the 2lst battalion is being answer- ed well and every man will be sure of a splendid Christmas dinner. "Tommy Atkins" writes to the Whig to say that the Soldiers are not living like English lords, as a recent article in a eity paper suggests. They are not enjoying English plum pudding, or even tea at dinner; they have had prunes twice in six weeks, and have not received any stewed apples. Vegetables are an unknown quantity. The fact that the men patronize the city restaurants so largely shows that in the eating line they are not over-burdened. "Tommy Atkins" admits that they are well treated and have no kick coming, but they do not like to have the: people think that they are fed like barons as the article suggests. The following extract from a lét- ter from headquarters was published in Tuesday's orders: 1 am commanded by Field Mar- shal, His Royal Highness the Gover- nor General, to convey his apprecia- tion of the good showing made at his inspection of the troops mobilized at Kingston for service overseas. He Is very much pleased with the smart appearance, steadiness and cheerful- ness of the 21st infantry battalion, CG. E. F. under the trying weather conditions, Considering the short time these troops have been able to devote to training, his royal highness Was more than satisfied with the showing made. He wishes to thank the commanding officer and all offi- cers for the the very good work done in such short time, and expresses his bleasure to learn that the discipline of the troops is generally good, and trusts 't will remain so, if not im- prove, as discipline is of the great- est importance. He was also pleased with the quarters, which showed the great ingenuity on the part of those responsible for the same. He de- sires to wish all ranks a Happy Christmas and a prosperous New ar." It is officially ahnounced that Con. A. McCully, W. O., has been made quartermaster of the 21st battalion, with the rank of lieutenant. .The 21st battalion bas from W. B. Dalton & Sons about fifty of the old Snider rifles, and Lieut.-Col. W. 8. Hughes has thought of an excellent way to use them.
