M Editor-Iu a camp like this, where so many
men are assembled with no prospect of soon meet
ing the foe, there must be sort of recreation
indulged in occasionally to alleviate the general
monotony. 1t is true, we have been abundantly
supplied with such toys as the little boys like
axes, spades, wheelbarrows, cannon, and the like,
and are permitted to play with them four hours
each day-cuttng down the pretty trees, digging
out nice bitches, ping up beautiful dirt ridges, ex
cavating the magnificent bluff, shaping the dirt
and trees and things into batteries, poking the
guns away into all sorts of places, and SO on. But
this sort Of play though Enthusiastically healthfu,
IS presided over by SO many "specked orficers,''
and conducted in style SO mathematical that
most of the boys are tired OF 1t and call 1t hard
| work. Consequently whenever they have the
| chance the boys engage in all sorts of athletic
snorts, some Of which are harder than any work l
| ever saw. may instance ball, base ball and

pame of rolling cannon ball at nine holes In the
