CHAPTER VIII.

THE THIRD REGIMENT, INFANTRY.

The Third Regiment of Infantry was organized July 2, 1883, and I. E. Kirk, of Kokomo, was promoted from the adju tantcy of the First Regiment to be colonel of the new organization. Headquarters were established at Kokomo. The regiment as organized consisted of nine companies, and reference was had to the geographical location of the companies, so that all in the regiment should be in the northern part of the State. By 1886 the regiment numbered 569, and two years later 546.

In 1889 the headquarters were changed to Waterloo, and at that time the regiment was 531 strong. The removal of Colonel McBride to Elkhart in 1890 caused another change in the headquarters to that city, and there they remained until 1891, when Valparaiso became headquarters. The strength then was 417, but the following year it increased to 662.

The chief interest in 1892 was in the gallery practice, and the Third came in for its share of the honors. The best average company score in the State was made by Company G, of Rochester, with 37.2, and the best individual score in the State was made by Captain E. G. Hall, Company L, of Fowler, with 48 out of a possible 50. The third largest aggregate company score was made by Company G, of Rochester, with 1,302, and the third best average company score was made by Company L, of Fowler, with 36.03. Company H, of Angola, was officially commended for the large number of men who shot.

The average scores of the companies were: G, of Rochester, 37.2; L, of Fowler, 36.03; H, of Angola, 27.13; C, of Valparaiso, 22.67; E, of Elkhart, 17.62; M, of Indianapolis, 16.44; D, of Mishawaka, 14.93; I, of Waterloo, 12.36.

In the general inspection made the fall of that year the standings of the companies, on a basis of 100 for perfection in all points, were: A, 71; B, 69; C, 70.5; D, 72.7; E, 72.3; F, 86; G, 76.2; H, 71.4; I, 71.3; K, 76.7; L, 47.7; M, 67.7.

In 1893 the headquarters were moved to Elkhart and there remained until 1896, when they were moved to South Bend,
