CAMP TERRY, NIANTIc, Aug. 21.-The rain
which began to fall here at about noon to-day
caused decided change in the days pro-
gramme. The regiments had their battalion
drill from 10 to 11:30 a. m. as usual, which
ended the drilling for the day.
The guards with the exception of few at
brigade headquarters and at the guard house
were relieved from duty, and but few men
were outside of their tents during the after
noon. The camp was very quiet. Captain G.
c. Ford of the Grays was regimental officer
of the day.
Last evening was very pleasant at camp.
The men were either enjoying themselves in
social groups or visiting comrades in other
tents. Some of the men were passing the
time with games of cards, many were smok-
/ ing and all were apparently enjoying camp
life. The camp is remarkably clean and neat,
each company taking pride in the respectable
appearance of their tents. The tents are not

| headquarters in good condition.
The Fourth has the largest percentage of
| its members in camp, as will be seen from
| the report; the Second is next The follow
l ing is the percentage present of the different
| organizations in the brigade, as shown by
| the consolidated daily report of the encamp-
ment:
Brigade staff, 100; battery, 90 7-10; First
regiment, 81 2-1O; Second regiment, SO lilo;
1 Third regiment, SO 40: Fourth regiment,
"a 2-10; Fifth battalion, SO.
The report for to-day is similar, as follows:
Brigade staff, 100; battery, 81 80; First
regiment, 81 9-10, So; Second regiment, 93;
Third regiment, SO 6-10; Fourth regiment,
4 az; Fifth battalion, SS.
Just before camp seven men from one
company of the Second regiment were I'M
| avoidably prevented from going to camp.
One of the men was injured seriously by an
| accident, the wives of two others were taken
sick. and other similar casualties prevented
the others from going to camp; but all OF
them were excusabIe, which in measure ex-
l plains the position as to members of the Sec
1 ond regiment.
The hotels and cottages at Mantle are well
filed with summer guests, large number of
I whom are ladies. Several small parties of
ladies in stylish attire have visited the camp,
aud Judging from appearances there are many
devotees of fashion in the vicinity. On the
principal streets and around the hotels are
1 noticed many attractive girls who wear
| jaunty little caps like those worn by students.
/ The girls look quite tasty in the striped caps.
The largest hotel at Mantle is the Morton
House where social hop is to be given on
| Thursday evening. 1t is presumed that this
dance is given in recognition of the presence
l of the soldiers at camp, as the officers of the
brigade are invited.
Many of the officers look well in their neat
1 fitting uniforms, which it is supposed will
ho 4 f1ac 10
/ that camp week will be much enjoyed So
| cially.
Joseph F. Burns and Mr.. Arata, sketch
( artists for the New York Daily Graphic, were
| at the camp to-day making drawings which
| are to appear in the Graphic of Thursday
| morning. They occupied the smoking car on
| the IL a. m. train to the camp and made sew
| eral sketches of prominent persons in the car.
One of the sketches is a representation of q
| whist party, composed partly of New Haven
| men. Mr.. Hand, of the same paper, was at
the camp to write an account of the
camp for the Graphic of Thursday, which it is
supposed will contain representations of the
| camp.
The signal corps of the Fourth regiment
reported to Major G. L. Burdett, chief signal
| officer, this morning. The Lieutenants and
| Sergeant McKiernan, who has command of
| the Second regiment signal corps, made an
| appointment to meet Major Burdette for in
II
| corps is fully up to the standard. All the
1 corps will practice at night signaling.
Thalheimer, the caterer, is giving good
/ satisfaction to the large number of men that
| he provides meals for. His tables are album
| dainty supplied and the bill of fare includes
some luxuries.
Colonel Watson of the Fourth regiment
made arrangements for social meeting of
his command this evening on large scale.
According to programme the men were to
I assemble in their mess house, where a con-
cert was to be given by the Wheeler & Will
son band, George STREET. leader, after which
interesting speakers were to make brief re-
marks. Some musical talent and quartet
| singing were also to be provided and al gen
i eral good time was expected.
John P. Stack, leader of the Second regi-
ment band, had planned serenade to Col.
Leavenworth of the Second regiment, which
| in consequence of the storm will doubtless be
postponed to some other evening.
Mr.. S. B. Ransom, who formerly resided
/ in New Haven, is located at the Morton
House.
An outsider who was making disturbance
| on the camp ground was arrested this after
| noon and lodged in the guard house, from
1 which he managed to escape in a short time.
/ It is suppose4 that the guards were under
shelter from the storm in the tents near the
guard house. An examination of the door
| Of the guard house showed that the fellow
