BROOKLYN TROOPERS MAY GET OLD NAME First Cavalry May Be Changed Back to the Second. FORMER NUMBER HISTORIC. Many Would Like to See Oid Designation Restored to Long Island Mounted Soldiers. The new year may Dave a happy prise tor the new First Cavalry, the old Escond Cavalry, by giving back to the Brooklyn troopers their original regimental designation of Second, which they lost In the recent reorganization of the State original cavalry. numbering The would change back more to than agreeable also to officers of the old First Cavalry of Manhattan, for thus the histories and records of the old organzaLions could be kept together better.

To conform the National Guard cavalry of New York to the demands of the War Deparument, it was necessary to have. by Jaduary 1, 1914, at least oue full regiident or twelve troops, The way to bet this regiment was by consolidation, taking troops from one of the two cavally regiwents and adding them to the other. As the armory of the First Cavalry of Manhattan Was too sinall for A regiwent, being too small, iu fact. (Vell a squadron, while the Brooklyn regtuent bag an arwory of ample size, it was nemed best to raise the Brook.yn commidid to a full regiment aud reduce the irst of Manhattan to a squadron. With tals change the designatiou of tie Brookorganization wag changed to the Cret Cavalry." While officers of both the old cavalry elments bavo cheertully obeyed all orde18 since the change, still there is no Bainsaying the statement that they would Tejoice 11 the authorities should give back the old numbers, permitting the old Second Cavalry to continue in its new formation, while the remnant of the old First Regiment, now living only as the Firat Squadron, could preserve the rec.

erds of the old First Cavalry. The recept order issued from Albany reorganizing the cavalry could have been so worded that the Second Cavalry could have retained its former numerical dee. ignation. This retention would have been colirely military, and in no way would have hurt the service. Under the change.

11 the property must be re-marked, and many other detells altered. Both the First and the Second Cavalry bad much to be proud of in their records The First grew out of Squadron which did memorable duty in the Brooklyn trolley strike of 1893, while the Second came up from Troop and Squadron C. Beth organizations were deservedly proud of their shooting records. The great record of the Second in winning The Brooklyn Eagle rifle trophy three consecutive years, nervating the infantry 111 most decisive fashion is enough, of itself almost to make the Brooklyn cavalrymen desire to retain their old number. Some officers cannot understand why the changing of eome troops from the First to the Second necessitated giving the latter the name of First, any more then the changing of a few companies of Fourteenth Regiment of Intentry to the Twenty-third Regiment would Watrant changing the latter's designation to fourteenth.

Captain Harry Meekes, commanding the Ninth Company, Thirteenth Regiment. walch is known the Royal Arcanum Company of that regiment, announced 10- day that the Arcanum has undertaken a new method of bringing recrults into the company, a method entirely unique in the History of National Guard recruiting. at least so far 26 Captain Meekes can remember, and he ranks as a veteran in Guard service. This scheme of the Arcanum is the rais. ng of a fund to pay the dues of the first five to recruit for the full term of enliaiment, of the second five for two vears and for twenty- Ave recruits for one year.

Six recruits have already been taken in 0.3 these conditions in the laat few days. and it is expected it will not be long till the company has waiting list. The examinations for second -class gunpers In the Const. Artillery will start on January 12. All nominations must be at the Thirteenth by January 2.

Dr. S. Parkes Cadman Heard at Bedford Y. M. C.

A. The Sunday afternoon meeting for men only at the Bedford Branch of the Young Men's Christian Association, Monroe street and Bedford avenue, was addressed by the Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cadman of the Central Congregational Church.

Secretary Hammond presided. The Royal Male Quartet entertained with several selections, two especially noteworthy, "One Sweetly Solemn Thought" and an arrangement to sacred words of the famous "Lucia" sextet. Dr. Cadman in his address forcefully reminded his hearers that time and its markings were but human inventions; that as a drop of water in the vast ocean. so time was but 8.

drop in the ocean of God's eternity. The fear of death, which, after all, was but an Incident in life, and but opened the door to another and better phase of life, had thrown its shadow over many men, but was rapidly passing away as science more clearly revealed ital nature. Time, he said, consisted not of years but of service; some men were young at 60, 70 and 80. while others were old at 40. The "greatest decision" for men to make WAS how to understand and use time.

The two fundamental doctrines were these: Time is an opportunity for love: time is an opportunity for service, and these two expressions Dr. Cadman had the audience repeat with him, and he closed with all earnest appeal for more love and more service in the hearts land lives of men. The usual miscellaneous questions, laptly and forcibly answered by Dr. Cadman, ended an afternoon meeting of more than ordinary interest. TO HOLD UP ROAD PAYMENT Taxpayers Injunction May.
