CAMP BEND, WHITE BEAR, July s.
This morning the First regiment, NJ.
n. G., arrived at the station about
$50. The first company to arrive was X
OF Saltwater. 1t was followed by Compa-
MES D, Z, c, and Emmett Light artillery,
from st. Paul, and Company G, Red Wing.
A few minutes later Companies A, B and l,
Minneapolis, with f, Fergus Falls, and Fl,
Lltehfeld, arrived. Lieut.. Col. Harrison,
commander, arrived last and met the COM
mand at the depot. AS soon as Adjt Son.
men could form the line and turn it over to
the commander, the regiment started for
camp. The lieutenant colonel has adopted
the only correct thing, that of strict mill
tary discipline, and from the very entrance
INTO camp at $50, when the colorS were
raised upon the staff, orders were issued.
II uld the eyes and ears of military man
good 10 see the precision with which every
tnlng was done. Barring few prelimina-
rieS, the regiment was as we'll settled an
hour after entering the line as it will be in
week. AT 10 o'clock guard mount was
ordered, and guard of thirty-eight placed
around the camp. The ceremony of guard
mount with Capt. Bean, Company ID, as
ofcer OF the day, Lieut.. KiddeE. Company
l, senior officer of the guard, and Lieut..
MitSch, Company ID, as junior officer, was
very well executed, and passed off as if it
had been an everyday occurrence for a
year. The first guard was put on in dress
uniform, and the oppressive heat of the
forenoon caused several of them to sue
cumb. There arrived in camp this morn
ing 465 men, divided as follows: Company
n, 50; b, 90; c, Sc; d, 40; E, IS; F, 81;
u, IS; II, IS; l, 81: X. 81; Emmett Light
artillery, 20, and field staff and band, 50.
ms Is 1SS more men than went into camp
at Lake Calhoun last year.
At O'Clock officers school was held, and
general talk relating to camp duties in
dulged in, the lieutenant colonel stating
that at the First battalion drill nothing but
the simplest movements would be given, in
order to accuStOm the commanders of COM
panleS to become accustomed to their posi-
tons. Since the last eneampment five of
the companies have chosen new COM
manderS. The right wing took
THE RIFLE RANGE
in the afternoon, and shot at the 100 and
800 yard targets. The dress parade in the
evening was not dress, but undreSs, the
men appearing in fatigue uniform on ac-
count of the absence of the band. At
guard mount Capt. William Blakeley sue
ceeded Capt Bean as officer of the day.
