In his report for the year ending, September 30, 1895, Colonel Markoe made the following summary of the work of the regiment under his command: "The command of the regiment devolved on me (by the resignation of Colonel W. A. Boykin, on January 5, 1895), as lieutenant-colonel, and I was commissioned colonel March 19, 1895. "Company drills have been held regularly each day of each week, except Saturday. "Each of the three battalions have been drilled in battalion movements on separate nights. "School of instruction has been held on the third Saturday of each month for all the officers, conducted by the commandant. "April 28 the regiment attended the funeral of Captain Robert P. Brown, of Company C—his company acting as escort, and he was buried with full military honors. "May 10, 1895, the 28fch Anniversary of the Regiment, was celebrated by a march (in fatigue uniform) to and from Clifton Park (four miles), where each major drilled his battalion in those movements which cannot be used in the armory owing to want of space. Then followed a regimental drill (first time under the new drill regulations). "May 28, 1895, regimental parade was had at the armory, following which ex-Mayor Latrobe presented the "Crosses of Honor" for long and faithful service to those officers and men who had served 9, 15, 21 and 25 years in the regiment. "Afterward Brigadier-General Stewart Brown presented badges and buttons won by officers and men at target practice during the year at Fort McHenry. "July 10, 1895, by permission of the governor and commander-in-chief, the regiment left by the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad for Cape May, N. J., and remained ten days in Camp Zollinger. |
