At this station especially the want of a Grill shed a severely Felt the greatly chanced coat of building As compared with he older provinces renders it unlikely that or some time to come the municipality or ther sources will be in a position to furnish funds for the erection of a building on the Eris by government. In the meantime officers commanding corps Here Lave to make the Best temporary arrange cents they can. In the Case of corps out Ide the City of Winnipeg the Kildonan company by the kindness of the authorities if the presbyterian College there is afforded a commodious armory. In South St. Andrew s a Good dwelling privately arranged for by the commanding officer is occupied. At Esperson the Captain of the com my affords an armory at his own residence. Drill and training. Although 1 have cause to feel satisfied Vith the Progress in efficiency made by the icily raised local corps in my District i ind no reason to change the opinion induced by a considerable number of years experience that desultory or Independent Grill involves a coat which is in a great measure a waste of Public funds 5 it is True a certain amount of knowledge of Drill May be More or less afforded to the men of Tho various corps according to the capability of he respective commanding officers or their breach at present to Institute the cavalry s Ixta schools which Are so Indis then As a temporary substitute n of 50 men and two officers As and infantry instructors should be to the two gunnery schools Render thereby schools for the three arms comprehensive measures Are added riven practice has been carried out As the various ranges. The opinion that too much practice cannot to soldiers in this essential in which with the arms of precision of mod a Davs extraordinary precision is required. Tho report further adds that Tho Dominion d provincial Kifle associations have sen valuable assistance in making Good Saks men and in keeping alive a healthy station a Rifle practice throughout the following extracts from col.

Art1llkry and target practice. The artillery practice was in accordance with regulation performed at a Range riot the training Camp. In connection with this i beg to express my thanks to Lieut and by. Captain Cotton late of the Dominion artillery Here who was Good enough at my request to act As Umpire Lieut. Young being Range officer during the course of target practice. Visit of the governor general. His excellency was pleased to command me to express to the various local corps who took part in the ceremonies attendant on his visit his satisfaction with their conduct and bearing. Militia buildings and stores. The Only buildings now belonging to or occupied by the militia Are at fort Osborne Here whore the whole of the military Reserve stores Are held. F Lars on the subject of the existing militia snip actions of no. 10 military District Winnipeg Field Batter. This Battery now armed with four m. L. E 9pr guns performed the prescribed annual course of Drill at Camp at a Point about six Miles West of this City. The ground was Well chosen for shelter but was rather too circumscribed in limits by a Grove of Trees for the troops was close fit hand and Thi horses had a Good arid Safe watering place at the Assiniboine River which within a Short distance of the site of the Camp. I found a marked improvement from the past year the guns were better hosted and the driving was greatly improved the condition and fitting of the harness was better than previously though in these respects there is still much room for improvement. The movements were Freer and More decided than on past Occa Sions when i have inspected it and the Drill fairly performed. It is however use less i respectfully submit to Hope that men can to thoroughly trained As artillery men in the Short apace of twelve Days a year for three years enlistment Many changes take Dace in the personnel of a Battery Dur ing Liat period and each year vacancies Haung to be filled up with raw hands the efficiency of the corps is found constantly impaired at the commencement of each annual training. The same observation also holds Good As regards the horses. Arrangements however Are i under stand being made by which As nearly As practicable the same horses will be available annually by the Field Battery. The general appearance of the Battery id very Good but marred As in the cases of the majority of corps by a want of uniformity m boots until however arrangements for Anil stringent regulations on this Point Are made and insisted on. Inspecting offi cer can hardly Hope for any great improvement in Tho efficiency and appear aae of corps in this most important re Spect. The Kildonan infantry company gazetted on Tho Lith of August 187g, per formed during Tho Winter a considerable amount of voluntary Drill in addition to the authorized period and considering its re cent formation was very fairly proficient. This Fine company whose ranks Are full is mainly if not entirely composed of farm ers and Farmers sons old settlers in the country men of Fine physique intelligent and educated. This is a corps that i am satisfied will prove a valuable contingent to the defensive Force of the province. Infantry company no. 1. This company having completed its Drill was inspected by me on the seventh of sep Tembe. The very recent formation of this corps and difficulties which often arise in new organizations precluded either a full Muster or any great proficiency in the movements ordered at the inspection but he general appearance of the company was most creditable clothing Well fitted belts and appointments scrupulously clean the commanding Osy incr is energetic and i have every Confidence in his opinion that the company will to full at the next annual inspection pm arson infantry company. The Bead quarters of this company Are a mediately on the Frontier line on the lied Rater at the newly formed but flourishing of Emerson my first inspection of his company owing to its distance from the station and its recent formation was made the occasion of the annual inspection. I had previously been informed that this was very Tine company but 1 was quite untre to Rind that the Short period but four five months which had elapsed Bince formation into a company had allowed opportunities to show a body of men so Soldier like looking and steady m the ranks those which i inspected. The movements and Drill from recent formation were of Urso imperfect but the general appear and Promise of the company is most and reflects great credit not on the commanding and other officers. On the inhabitants of this Young and driving who have afforded All enc our sement to their local company of which Max justly be proud. Tv0111 St a dhow s nil la company.
