Harvard Rifles.

Next Tuesday a squad of recruits for the Harvard Rifles will probably be taken in hand for drill. There are now very few men at work, and it is hoped this addition will help considerably to swell the numbers. The same thing was done last year, when, about the middle of November, enough men were taken on to increase what had been a very small number, to ninety. A challenge has practically been received from M. I. T. for a competitive drill, but owing to the few men on hand, the Rifles can only send men to compete for individual prizes. If there were enough men, regular competitive drills could be arranged with various colleges in the vicinity, such as M. I. T., Brown, etc. During the winter the regular drill work will be continued. At present the company is drilling at the Cambridge Armory, on the top floor of the City Building, in Brattle Square, opposite the University Press, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, from 7 to 8. After Dec. 1 the hour will be changed to 4.30-5.30.
