apply to the camp to day. There is cir
Gus in town and together with that and the
secondary work on the rifle range there are
! but very few in camp. In anticipation OF
the hot day this morning the colonel omit
ted company drill and took the battalion

Along towards 1890 the camp began to
be deserted, and upon inquiry it was dis
covered that circus paradeS had an attrac-
ton for even soldiers. From this time on
until early evening the camp grounds were
extremely quiet. Several members of COM

to the rifle range and shoot for second class
places. This evening dress parade, guard
mount and the concert kept very many of
the Faribault citizens from attending the
circus.
