The above synopsis of the order will
give fair idea of the way i'm which
most of the time will be occupied. In
addition, the regular annual fall in
spection of organizations will be made
by Acknowledgement Latta at such q
time as may he designed by an order
issued Immediately preceding the pa
rade of al organization for the pur-
pose, and they wifi, therefore, hold
themselves at all times in readiness.
The request having been made for the
detail of an army officer to accompany
General Latta during these inspec-
tons. General Hancock, by direction
Of the War Department, has made the
detail, and in obedience to his orders
Brevet Lieutenant-Col onel II. H. Hall,
Captain Tenth Infantry, will report
for such duty. Colonel Hall graduated
from West Point in 1860. Entering
the army he was promoted to a full
captain August 81, 1868; for distin-
guished and nieritorious services at
Lookout Mountain, Tenn, he was
brevetted Major November "a, 1868,

jutant at West Point, from September
l, 1871, to July l, 1878. His report to
the Adiutant General of the army. re-
lative to the encalipment, will be
looked forward to with interest.
An inspection will also be made rs
to the efficiency of the troops in rifle
practice. Three different days will be
devoted to this one day to each bri-
gade. Three rounds of ammunition
per man will be issued, and the firing
will be at 200 years, by file, by COM
pany and by battalion volley. Two
division reviews will probably be held,
one in honor of Major-General Han
cock, who has been invited to be pres
ent, and the other in honor of His EX-
cellency Governor Hoyt.
The success of the camp as a school
of instruction for the National Gui rd
will be in proportion to the number
attending, and this rests very much
with business men and employers,
| There was time when service in the
Guard and going into camp meant a
skylark. 1t now means steady hard
work in camp in summer, and in the
armory during the winter. The duties
