reversed the entire formation OF the reg1-
ment. As an omcer expressed u, he
turned the regiment wrong side out, but
the soldiers understood and executed his
orders remarkably well, which was very
gratifying to the commander. After the
/ drill several OF the omcers VINO partcl-
pated congratulated Lieutenant Colonel
Lee on the drill, which evidently gave
them that peculiar satisfaction that comes
from being tried and found efficient. The
regiment performed so well that the APP
plause from the crowd of spectators was
frequent and prolonged.
Yesterday morning the Second regiment
detail for guard duty were ordered out in
f9n dress Gnlform. An order was soon
after issued to the guard to change TO Ia,
ugue uniform with overcoats. Inc ser
geant OF the guard made the statement That
his men made the change in two minutes.
This statement was doubted by some per-
sons who inquired Of the adjutant who
| said that the guard did make the change in
| two minutes. This promptness is charac-
| teristie of the Second regiment during the
| present camp.
/ Chaplain j. e. Twitchell of the Second
regiment performs more religious duties
/ than any other chaplain in camp. Last
wear he surprised MANY of the spectators
BY offering prayer previous to the military
exercises on the parade ground Yester-
day afternoon at the termination of the
dress parade, Colonel Doherty formed his
officers into hollow square when the
chaplain gave the benediction. As this
! ceremony is not common here, it has Qcca-
| stoned some discussion by those. who have
l ular army custom. -,
