owing to the fatigue caused by excessive
camp duty, neither made as high record as
their usual average
An interesting contest also took place be-
tween the Fifth Infantry and Second Artil-
lery Regiments. Two were selected from
each, and the conditions were twenty shots
per man at 200 yards range. The following
scores were made:

RECEPTIONS MP-BREAKING-Erc
The camp will break up Sunday, and the
Sacramento soldiers will leave for home at
10 a. NJ.
Lieutenant-Colonel Orion, of the First In
fantry, held a reception at his Headquarters
last evening, which was we'll attended.
Mr.. and Mrs. Swift also gave a reception to
the Governor and his wife at the Pacific
Hotel, which was attended by nearly all the
regimental officers and their wives Mrs.
Lieutenant-Colonel Donahue the same
evening kept open house" at the headquar-
tiers of her husband on the camp ground.
w. E. Miller, the Street Commissioner of
Santa Cruz, is the only person who has
shown any disposition to assist the First
Artillery Regiment. He has put lamps I'D
throughout the camp, and is having the
| roads sprinkled so that we are no longer
suffocated with dust. As he passed through
the camp last evening he was greeted with
three cheers.
NOT DOWN ON THE BILLS.
The camp has been on several occasions
the scene of pointed burlesque, taking off
the poor provisions at first furnished by the
caterer, or vivifying the hardships of the
boys camp life. The most successful in
this line vas occasioned by the receipt of
box today from standardization D. De
Bernardo d Co., of Sacramento. Ii con-
tanned a supply of wooden dummies for
chickens, bologna sausages and other nee
essaries, which the kind-hearted and SYM
pathy-burdened donor so thoughtfullv be-
slowed for the relief of the hungry and
camp-emaci boys. Tonight between
100 and 200 of the Capital City bows impro-
vised buaesque parade, and made Rome
howl-in amild way-as they grotesquely
marched through the camp with the wooden
supplies co1spicuously displayed on pole
borne aloit upon the top of extremely ele-
waited shoulders. An immense label was
placed upol the toothsome supplies inform
ing all loukers-on that the booty of the
march was@ contributed by Sacramento
friends to the starving soldiers at Camp
Stoneman.' 1t was most merrily put-for-
ward piece 1f fun, and took the entire camp
by storm. Even "shcrman's Bummers
could not have beaten it.
PERs oSAL AND SOCIAL ITEMS,
The electric light has now been extended
into the camp of our regiment, and to-
night our dancing platform was lighted up
in Respondent style giving fine effect to
the gay opeilsocial event.
Tomorrow afternoon the Governor and
Mrs. StoneDan will hold a reception at the
headquarters of the Commander-in-C Chief
in camp. and q public invitation has been
extended.
Tomorrow evening Major-General Turn
bull will tender reception to the Governor
and wife, for which event extended pre-
parations are being made
Among the new arrivals in camp are
John Larkin, of Sacramento Leader, accom-
MED by wife and son; Mrs. George D.
Locke, Miss Belle McNIitchell Mrs. James
J. Keegan, Jas. L. English, and probably
Others. The camp is full all the time, and
1t is difficult TO remember whether visitors
are new arrivals or of the permanent con-
tingent, for nearly all Sacramento is either
here or at the beach.
A concert by Miss Ida Clinch and Signor
Lenconi is one of the promised pleasing
features yet to be enjoyed some time this
week.
