The rations ale pronounced excellent and are
well cooked. At Surgeons call not sick SOL
der appeared. The drill of the Androscoggin

tention aud favorable comment The several
companies were engaged in company drill,
making on the whole mixed scene until at
1890 a. m, when Col. Mattocks had all of the
infantry in line for battalion drill, which, under
his decisive and accurate instruction, is very
much of business. For this drill, Chambers
Band furnished the music. The manual of
arms by the entire command after Col. Mat

was declared to be excellent by the sold vets"
looking on. The drills and exercises through
out the day were carried out in strict compli-
ance with the order of Gen. Chamberlain, Civ
ING the idea that the state muster is not play
day occasion.
The officers of the regiment are indignant
that bad whiskey is allowed to be sold at the
booths about the ground, and there is differ
ence of opinion as to whom the duty devolves
of having the nuisance stopped. The officers
of Company B portland Light Infantry kick
ed sneak DeQullDg run lIOm d pol1t0 oh eHo
ground in the most lively order.
Dress parade this evening was the occasion
for larger crowd of spectators than has before
been present. Thus far the muster is a great
success. The Hamlin Light Infantry of Ban
gor. a cadet company, appeared at muster this
afternoon.
Gov Dingley will review the division to-mor-
row. L.
