TUE WEEK WE CELEBRATE
"raphic Description of the Dav nm tho
Muster Field.

Grey mists hung over the meadows and
scarf Of fog concealed the erv.,.I w.,., g
the hennebec. as the red disk of the s,,r ros a
over the eastern hills. YESTERDAY MORNING
Flashing jewels hung to every blade. of gras.
ihro'gh the vapors which enveloped the
Mister field the smoke of the fires cir,led
hea'ehward. At an an early hour Camp
riaisted was astir. The detachments of men
ON duty the preceding night had slept hut
little. Their novel situation precluded
siumber. and they were INTERRUPTED Inv the
rumble OF the trains and the arrival of COM
panies all through the night.
Hundreds of our citizens s,rolled down N
the scene of the bivouac before breakfast
to get up an appetite. and drink in the un-
usual spectacle of the white tents of an army
pitched on our peaceful soil. The din of
preparation was sounding all along the
line. Great fires blazed up merrily, and
rusty stoves were heated red-hot by the en-
thusIastic young cooks who were intent upon
preparing substantial repast for their COM
rades who were expected soon to arrive with
voracious appetites. The camp cuisine fur
nished an abundant and varied breakfast.
Great stacks of bread were piled on clean
boards, and bushel baskets of potatoes, pans
of beefsteak, and boilers for coffee stood by
their side. The style for preparing food
was rather primitive, but we will wager that
the famous Delmonico never produced
'spread' which was partaken of with half
the zest and relish as this breakfast cooked
in the open air. The atmosphere was i'm
pregnated with the aroma of coffee which
ttillated ones nostrils and gave one long
ing to partake of the fragrant berry. Beef
steak sizzled on the rudy Goals. In an
hour generous meal was prepared.
The SOLDIER BOYS ARRIVE.
At eight o'clock the whistle of an engine
is heard. and soon heavily loaded special
from Portland rolls up on the siding.
'Camp Plaisted," sings out the brakeman.
Avid yell comes from the men in the tents,
and they rush down to welcome their COM
rades.
The new arrivals attack the breakfast with
vigor. The coffee vanishes the beefsteak
disappears before their assaults; eggs and
bread fade away with startling rapidity.
"Never ate so good breakfast in my life ~
was the general verdict.
Co. ID of Rockland arrived on the eight
o'clock train, Monday night The Bidde-
ford Light Infantry came up on the
early Pullman, Tuesday. The companies
from Bangor. Dexter and Skowhegan got to
Augusta on a special train. at six o'clock,
Tuesday morning. The Frontier Guards Of
PASSPORT came a little later. The Hampton
company missed connection, and came
on the 10 o'clock train. The Portland and
A 'hurn companies came on special train.
ar living here at 8 80 They marched through
tn. streets from the depot to the Muster field
to the inspiring strains of Chambers Band.
Jnhnsons Band of Lewiston came on the
same train.

NOTES AND


Sparks Thrown Out from the Camp Fires.
The average small boy 10 fascinated and
bewildered BY the glory Of the muster, and
haunts the tented field, oblivious to every
muskets, the field pieces, the tents. and above
all the great fires, have a wonderful fascna-
ton for him. After supper the Q. b. afore-
said stealthily HES him to the grounds. Here,
assisted by his juvenile companions, he how
ers around the campfire, makes night hideous
with his unearthlv yells and dances like a
young demon around the blazing pile. A
Muster will demoralize a school as quickly
as a circus.
