Annual inspection of Bristol Train of Artillery impresses crowd
Adj Gen. Frederic M. Sackett presided at the Bristol Train of Artillery inspection at the armory where an overflow crowd stood. The unit set a new standing gun drill record of 50 seconds, beating 67 seconds from 1896 and a government standard by one second. The brass piece, a 1778 British capture, highlighted a long Bristol saluting and firing tradition. Col. Merton A. Cheesman led, with Maj. Charles W. Abbott Jr. retired, and Lt. John T. Robertson directing drill and guard duties.
