was an annual feature of W. L. I. life, and the annual response from the community indicated the highest public favor. This observance was continued up to and in the war period, the last celebration taking place in Fort Sumter while the command was part of the garrison of the gateway of Charleston, on the 22d of February, 1862. Referring to earlier annals, the W. L. I. was designated, with the Fusileer Francaise, as the special guard of honor to Lafayette, upon his entrance in the city in 1825. Captain W. H.
