Editor's Note.

It is with pride and pleasure that we present this the fourth volume of THE BUGLE, 
trusting that it will prove of interest to our friends.  We have no apologies to make.  
The work has been done, to a large extent, by the board of editors, often under most 
unfavorable circumstances; and it is hoped that their self-sacrifice will be appreciated.  
We gratefully acknowledge the kind and valuable assistance of Mr. Samuel H. Sheib, Mr. 
George W. Hutchinson and a few others, in illustrating the work; and also our 
indebtedness to Mrs. C. B. Preston and others who contributed articles to the literary 
department, and otherwise aided us.  We ask of those who have had no part in the 
production of the book the same degree of charitable silence as we have accorded them.

"The Bugle Board."
