over ana the cool atmosphere gave good
opportunity for thorough battalion drill.
The field officers were all mounted for
the first time.
The GAaETTE's correspondent accom-
panied Surgeon Marshall on his inspeo-
tion rounds this morning. The trip was
o most interesting ons and affords soma
idea of the immanse deal OF detail work
in the regimentai surgeons department.
The first point to which the surgeon
directed his attention was the mems sink.
Doctor Marshall criticized the failure this
morning Of those whose daty it is to sec
after the daily earth covering. He con-
Eidered that the depth of pit was insutfi-
Client. The gtRblss were nsIt visited.
These require daily inspection for DIV Gus
sanitary reasons. AL OF them we're found
In coed order.
Arriving At the oficers cooks shed the
surgeon remarked: "See thess men keep
things in rice oder Tho water tank
for, cooking purposes was clear Rnd
olsaniy, However right alongside near
the mems COOK tent there WAS most dis.
graceful slew of s,agnant water with m ant
refuse, fish bones and other Stops lying
around. Surgeon Marshall ssened very
much uettied at the nppearAnceo things.
Ho told the men that this would not do
AZ oil, ard warned them that the slapa
must he cleaned up Immediately or elae
those responsible would be pat in the
! guard-honse for "a hours Al the rear
OF tine cook tent over dozen barrels of
retuHe were tonud.

since camp" cock replied in answer 20
the snrgeon'R queries. .......-.@
"Ses hsre!n tho doctor exclaimed, as
he tipped over q hottomless bsrral re.
vehling mass OF semi. patrid refuse.
The surgeon made very close in
spection of the mess tent. The tables
and floprs of the different companies
were closely investigated. Refuse food
was picked up, broken croekesy, fish
bones, bits of wood, branches of trees,
and other miscellaneous articles that
should not be seen on the ness tent floor
were picked mp and carefully PLACED on
the table. "B sitter there than hidten,"
the surgeon remarked, and then soundly
rated two or threa of the company walters
for their untidiness. Doctor Marshall
EbtIus tV vi tAtth DiohultElfBd
around the ragimental mess tent. He did
not consider the mems mess tant psrticu-
larly offensive but Thought the beat plan
is to check any evil OF this kind az first.
Surgeon Marshall reports the sanitary
condition of the regiment very good.
There is no prevailing disease There
has been no case of malaria during camp.
Captain Myrick strolled through the
! at.a
into the mems tents, looking at cots and
inspecting blankets.

on days leave of absence this morning.

, Battalion drill this morning was yer,
interesting. The regimental line, with
the colonel mounted In front and Lieu
tensnt-colonel Kirk and Major Carey OF
horseback at either flank of the line
made very soldierly picture of CAM
! routine. The intricate evolutions o
battalion drill are being accomplished
with greater ease and facility each day

, this morning. General Kenney and tb
,, governors staff shot over the 100 ysrt
