whistles, penny trumpets, drum and tin can.
THE BALL IN THE CAMP
in the evening was splendid affair, and was
witnessed by thousands OF spectators Every
street of the camp was Lit up with
Chinese lanterns and lined on either side
with trees and canoped with evergreens and
cedars. The fireworks displayed were brilliant
in the extreme. Rockets, bombshells, fire globes
and Roman candles were discharged incessanty
until late hour Of the night. What with the camp
made as light as day, with the calcium lights, the
hundreds OF Chinese lanterns burning over head,
the band grouped before the headquarters tent to
the music Of which dozens OF couples danced on the
green; the hundred fitting to and fro In the COM
panys streets, all made up scene or unprecedented
grandeur and briliancy full description OF which
leave to future occasion. The regiment breaks
camp at seven O'Clock tomorrow morning.
