WILLIAM G. MOORE CAM,
ATLANTIC CRY. August 2s.
The camp is a. lively as the cricket that Capt.
John Miller and Lieut.. Pete Duffy have in their
tent and, by the way, that cricket is a large
and lively one, and sounds the reveills in the
morning in tones stentorous enough to awaken
the seven slsspers if there we're such in this
section of America at the present time. 1t
would take columns to tell the tale Of tent life
that is now being enacted Its scenes Of joIlity,
pleasantly and real downright genial fun are
enjoyed by hundreds Of visitors, and when a
stranger enters camp he is at once made at
home, and when he leaves il he leaves 1t a
friend. The members of the Infantry and the
Corcoran Cadets certainly reflect great credit
upon the District. They have been here three
years in succession, and from the remarks one
hears on every side they are wanted here three
times three years. As Major Hoffman, re-
marked to The STAR correspondent:
"A more complete set Of gentlemen have
never favored our favored city"
GOOD DISCIPLINE.
The boys have been remarkably attentive TO
discipline. 1t is absolutely impossible for a
man to come into camp without the counter
sign. Adjutant Charlie Leffler was impressed
with this soldierly efficiency last night. He
was coming into camp little after "taps" had
sounded, accompanied by two members of the
band. and was suddenly halted by Private
Cunegan. Charley essayed to get by the
sentry but twas no use. Mr.. Cunegan would
not have it. He called the corporal Of tine
guard. Charlie tried to make friends with
the corporal-which his name was Ed. Moore
but even this diplomacy was insufficient.
Consequently Letters name was on the list of
the delinquents presented to Major Dalton this
morning. But Charlie has lost no flesh by his
terrible experience.
DRESS PARADE.
This evening at $50 o'clock the corps gave o
dress parade on the Brighton lawn in response
to an invitation extended by the managers Of
the hotels in that vicinity. The guests of the
Traymore, the Windsor the Brighton, the
Shelburne and the Dennis were out in full
force, and when Major Dalton put the boys
through the evolutions the great assemblage
testified its appreciation in an Enthusiastically
loud manner. As soon as the corps returned
to camp every mothers son Of its component
parts began to get ready for the journalists
banquet, and as this is written tine many dis
tinguished guests of the popular newspaper
men OF Atlantic City are indulging in the
''small sweet courtesies Of life" as well as the
more material adjuncts OF existence.
