morning dawned with the customary canopy
Of blue over Camp Burleigh. everybody WAS
in . most satisfactory frame of mind, and.
whlle they we're sorry that the pleasant scenes
were determined to make the closing day at
the camp mott pleasing and profitable one.
The rigid attention to duty which had been
required from the men WAS in no way di-
ninished during the forenoon, everything
-about the camp being conducted in most
commendatory manner. The usual police
Of quarters placed them in clean and pre-
sentable condition, several companies in
dulged in the set up drill for the first time
during the encampment, and other work
about camp vas performed until the mess call
summoned the men to breakfast. 1t was a
most excellent meal, as all others had been
during the muster, and the boys enjoyed it
a. usual. After breakfast the guard WAS
mounted at 8 o'clock, Capt. Hoyt acting as
deld officer Of the day. Several events at
the rifle range were called a. follows:
Skirni.h match-T Ten men, distance 100 to
