THE ATLANTIC CITY CAMP.
The General Order Issued to the Wash.
ingtOn Light Infantry Corps.

The question of the selection of a place for the
annual encampment of the Light Infantry
corps having been settled, preparations are
now going actively forward to complete the
necessary arrangements. There is considerable
detail involved in taking body of men like
the infantry corps such a distance, and making
provision for their comfort and convenience
after they reach the camp-ground. AS the occa-
sion is holiday one and intended tor the
recreation and pleasure of the members, they
are not subjected to the chances of soldiers
life in the field, and there is no danger OF their
being separated from the base of supplies or
Obliged to make the cold earth their beds, with
the skies as their canopy. This latter cOntin-
gency is provided for, as the corps own their
own tents and the necessary camp equipments.
Ever since their experience at their first en-
cam pInent at the W hite Sulphur Springs, about
six years ago, when the tents We're rented for
the occasion, the corps have owned their own
camp equipments. The tented field on that
occasion presented a nondescript appearance,
as each tent was different in shape and size At
the annual encampments during the succeed
ing years the camp has had a more military
appearance, and this year, at Atlantic City, as
in former years at Cape May and Long Branch
the uniform line OF tents will enable the inian-
try to show that in encampment, as we'll as on
the parade ground they present q sOldierly
bearing. The camping ground this year will be
on the lawn of the United States hotel at At
lantic City, and committee, consisting of
Capt. w. Bruce Gray, Lieut.. f. H. Neumeyer
and Mr.. A. W. Kelly, will go down to Atlantic
City to-day to lay out the camp and make the
necessary arrangements. The following order
