CAMP ENBLER, NIANTIc,
 August q, 1890.
 There are more strangers here than at any previous encampment. All the in- coming trains bring large numbers, most of the visitors coming to witness to- morrow's elaborate exercises.
 The campers were greeted with sum- shine when they awoke this morning and were glad of it. There is a good fortable day. Now and then the sun hides itself behind cloud but there has been no rain.
 The war on fakirs seems to have had but little effect on the gamblers, and this morning they were on hand again in full force. General Watson is pro- voked at their re-appearance, but as grounds he can do nothing but must wait for the selectmen to act. It is be- lieved another raid will be made to-day. The Fourth regiment went out on skirmish duty to-day. Among those who went out to witness the skirmish were Governor Bulkeley and Colonel Turnbull of Montreal.

Adams was the bearer of a shaving mug which he presented to Col Doherty in behalf of friends. The Colonel accepted the gift in a modest speech.
