THIS MORNING.

hind fine team of horses driven by
Mr.. Paul Isenberg, Jr. The road
all the way is an excellent one, in
fact, in much better condition than
some of the streets in the city. Paul
had a good deal TO say about his
ranch on which tho encampment was
held. He only lately purchased it,
and contemplates many improve
ments.
No better place could have been
selected for the encampment. The
scenery at that point is exceedingly
interesting, what with the grove of
cocoanuts, the bay and Coco Head
in the distance. The ride out,
which occupied little over half an
hour, was very enjoyable.
Arriving at the grounds the bat
talon was found at drill under COM
mand of Major Hebbard. The diff
ferent movements, considering that
many of them were new, were well
executed by the men. Before leav-
ing the parade ground the battalion
was reviewed by His Elk. iona.
Austin, Minister of Foreign Affairs.
After the drill the boys were
pleasantly surprised on learning that
the BULLETIN representative had
brought out $50 copies of Saturday
afternoons issue, and within very
short space of time they were all
gone. This issue, amongst other
things, contained the words of the
hymns sung at the service on Sun
day. Most of the boys were pretty
well sunburnt, but they all said they
had had good time. There was
one thing, though, it looked as if a
little more sleep would not have
done some of them any harm. The
tents were arranged in military or
der and presented somewhat i'm
posing appearance. Next the beach
were ranged the officers tents,
opening on the other side or toward
the rank and files camp. Looking
from the sea large reception tent
stood on the right, in line with
which were the tents of Major Heb
bard, Sergeant Major Darlington,
and Quarter master w. w. Hail.
Between this line and the COM
panies' tents was line of eight
tents in two sections for Capts.
Langley of Co. c, Zeigler of Co.
A, Fisher of Co. b, and Mccarthy
of Co. ID, and their lieutenans,
Camara and Ferreira of G, Asche
and Tregloan of A, Robertson of B,
and Wicke and Wichmann of d.
Behind the second row, running at
right angles to it, stood the COM
panies' encampment in four lines of
five tents each and accommodating
six men in tent. The street be-
tween G and A was named G street {;
that between B and d, d street :;
while that between those pairs was
called Central Union street, after
the name placed over tent in line
b.
Prince Kawananakoa and Mr.. Jas.
W. Robertson, Vice-Chamberlain,
were at the camp during the after
noon. Mrs. Hebbard, Mrs. Ashley
and Miss Lulu Tanning were there
taking photos with a small camera.
Mr.. Theo. SEVERN had his large new
camera on the grounds and has no
doubt got fine series of views.
At half-past five, when tattoo was
! sounded for dinner, it was rare fun
to see the boys fall in line and make
for the tables in double quick time.
And then when grace % was said,
they pitched into the rations as il
they hadn't had anything to eat for
month. 1t was worth dollar to
see the boys "feed." Messrs. j.
E. Brown & Co. catered for the
camp in the most satisfactory man
ner. AT sunset the gun was fired
and the coors lowered while the
band played Hawaii Ponoi. During
spare moments the boys played base
ball and were up to all kinds OF
tricks, With one or two exceptions
the general behavior of the men was
good. Saturday evening the band
gave a promenade concert.
On Sunday morning at 0:30 the
Rev. Alex. Macintosh held divine
service at the camp. Quite large
number of visitors were present
from the city. The service was {
very impressive one and the music
