bespeak for them the best wishes of their In
dianapolis friends, whether they take any prize

The Evansville cavalry company arrived late

The general arrangement of the camp and the
distribution of the companies Is considered bet
ter than that made last year, while the seating
capacity for spectators has been increased and
so arranged that there is no waste space, and
every body can see all that is going the pa
rade ground. The present disposition OF the
seats has advantages that will probably be best
appreciated on the day of the sham battle.
There seems TO have been disagreement
among the members of the executive committee
on the beer question, the committee being about
equally divided for and against the admission Of
the beverage to the sacred confines of Camp
Morton. 1t was finally by close vote decided
that beer must stay out, whereupon the other
half of the committee demanded that the
Woman's Christian Temperance Union, repre-
sented by number OF ladies who had d stand
inside the ground, where they sold flowers,
would have to go also. And out they went, the
military gentlemen driving them and the beer
vendors out together with the greatest gallantry
and most vlrtuous inpartiality.
The city is beginning to bloom with bunting.
Meridian street. from Washington street to the

of the decorations being especially fine, while

staff, gracefully float above the heads of the
arriving guests. Washington street, on both
sides for several squares, Is equally gorgeous in
color, in some places even excelling Meridian
street in its display. Private residences all over
