 At the Union armory on Meadow street there was less activity yesterday after noon than might have been expected, but everything was so nearly ready for the an nual encampment of the state militia at Mantle that but little remained to be done in preparation for the start. All of the parlors were open and occupied by the company members, who attended to what ever arrangements were necessary for the start for Camp Embler. According to the custom, which is seldom varied, the pres ent camp is named after the adjutant gen eral of the state, Andrew H. Embler, of New Haven. Last year the camp was called Camp Bulkeley; in honor of Gov ernor Morgan G. Bulkeley. The camp of 1888 complimented our distinguished townsman and United States army officer, General A. H. Terry, by giving the camp the title of Camp Terry.
 Last year, Captain Embler at the head of tho National Blues, led the Second regi- ment into camp. This year the same honor is allotted to Captain Theodore Sucher of the Light Guard, who expects to take full company of sixty-eight men to camp. Some of the members of the company are slightly indisposed, so that under ordinary circumstances, they would remain at home, but as Company B is at the head of the regiment and on account of the pride that the members take in their company, these indisposed members are expected to go to camp with Light Guards. to take all of his sixty-eight men to camp this morning.
 Captain Creed is to be in camp this year with sixty members of the Sarsfeld Guard. Three other members of the company that are at present out of the state may report for duty at camp during the week.
 Captain John Gutt's company, the City Guard, is expected to be in camp with si2ty-seven men.
 Captain B. E. Brown of the Grays will take large percentage of the members of his company to camp this morning.
 Lieutenant William H. Sears of the Ma chine gun platoon is to take all the mem bers of his command to Camp Embler to- day The pair of horses for the Gatling gun and the ieutenant's saddle horse are to be taken on the special train which is to leave this city soon after o'clock this morning.
 The Second regiment hospital corps is to have six men, and the signal corps ten men.
 The First separate company is expected to appear in camp with about sixty men, There will undoubtedly be large number of spectators at the depot to see the soldiers off this. morning.
 Aho o%h of regiment are present with such a credit able percentage of members as indicated in the city battalion, and it is safe to assume that they will be, the regiment may be ex- pected to have first position in the per centage rating.
 During former years the commissioned officers took portable beds to camp. This year the beds for the officers are supplied from the quartermaster generals depart ment. This arrangement makes percep- tible difference in the amount of baggage to be taken to camp. The amount of bag gage that was at the armory ready to be shipped yesterday was not large when the number of men is taken into considera- ton. Neither was there more luggage than would be expected when the fact is consid- cred that the soldiers are to remain week at Mantle. All of the companies are to UhhO Q AuAhOCA oI SbhAp otooAo 11Al loAAlhS chairs to camp. These are largely for the use of visitors, especially ladies who are wives sisters and sweethearts of the sol diers.
