CAMP LAKEvIEw, July 13.-To-mor,
row will, doubtless, bring into camp
several hundred friends of soldiers.
Sunday has always been the great day.
and there is no reason to believe that
this will be an exception, although tha
grand affair Monday evening will over
top any event of the Sabbath. Every
soldier whose business compels him to
remain away on other days generally
manages to get into camp Saturday
night for at least one days sojourn with
the boys of his company. The quarters
on that day are crowded to their utmost.
And the swarms of visitors that throng
every company street and mess-tent
are not the least interesting feature of
theday. All hands were busy to-day.
What with the range shooting and pre-
pairing for inspection, which latter
means not less than two hours hard
work polishing, Scraping, Oiling and
brushing. there was very little lOafing in
camp to-day.
INSPECTION Is BILLED
to commence at 7:30 in the morning.
This will take place in the company
streets, instead of on the parade ground,
as heretofore, and it will save more
than an hours wearisOme standing in
line for two or three of companies OH
the left. Everything is being put in the
best possible shape, and if the inspec~
tor is inclined to appreciate honest
work. he will be greatly pleased. The
men have learned what an unpublished
button or brass plate is liable to do for
the company, and they are employing
every minute in improving the APPEAR
ance of their equipments. The arrange
mentS of quarters IS comparatively an
easy matter. But no scraps of paper,
cigar stubs, towels, cleaning apparatus
or citizens clothing are allowed in
sight when the inspecting officers make
their visit A rag the size of postage
stamp will be noticed by these critical
gentlemen. After the inspection, which
will probable require three hours time,
will be divine service by Chaplain An
drews at 10:30, dress parade will be
formed att, and guard mouns at 1880;
then will follow the usual
BAND CONCERT,
one of the most delightful events OF
camp routine The splendid band,
which the men are proud to call the
First regiment, have prepared very
fine programme to which 1t is eStl-
mated that some 1000 people will
listen. The scores at 200 and 500 yards.
the final ranges, were not completed,
though much good work was done. In
spector General Schoeffel reviewed the
regiment this evening. The weather
delayed getting into line, and there was
no parade. As was expected, the strength
of the camp was greatly increased on
the arrival of the late trains from the
North. The total is now about SIS. ID
