Music Sheet, 9-3/4” x 12-1/2”, 6pp., New York, Wm. Pond, 1873 , VG. The cover image, Harrigan and Hart as the officer and the private. Black boy in left background with circular banner reading M.G. harrigan and Hart met in the early1870s, and soon developed a routine that poked fun at New York's infamous neighborhood militias. These local "guard" units were little more than uniformed drinking clubs sponsored by local politicians. Weekend parades designed to impress the public were often so beer-soaked that the stumbling participants looked ridiculous. In their variety act, Harrigan and Hart donned ill-fitting uniforms and staggered through inept military drills while singing a merry march.
