CAMP ALBEIT. SEAGIRT, July 81, $780,
With the arrival of the Second Brigade,
Saturday afternoon, old Camp Green be-
came Camp Albeit, a nam this encamp-
ment has borne for three years, at least.
Everyone is delighted with the provisions
made by the new Quartermaster General.
Matters were never before so perfectly
adjusted to the wants of the encamp-
ment. There is no growing whatever
among the men, although some OF them
suffered somewhat from h unusual
GOODNESS of Satur day evening. All were
not provided with great-coats and gave
up trying TO sleep about twelve O'Clock;
Even at that late hour some were supplied
with necessary clothing and so passed the
night comfortably. Still a large numbe
of men, coming from the western part OF
the State, had neglected to provide them
selves with prope underclothlng Tor Jhe
-treacherouS SeaShore weather. Inns
class, and its members were hundreds,
suffered considerably. Last night, how
ever, every man had all the clothing and
blankets he wanted.
The boys were much surprised last
night when they found the guards strung
out all about the camp. This was Q thing
that had never been done until Monday
mornings in all the former history of the
encampment. The discipline, always very
strict in the Second Brigade, will be more
rigid than ever this summer
Lieutenant Brearly was the officer OF
the guard. Commissary Sergeant OF the
Seventh, Alfred 7. Clark, is engaged at
Long Branch, His Office is filled by
Horace Biddle. The color sergeant,
James Palmer, is i'll, and that position is
taken by Charles Mutchler. Lewis Z.
Baker, left general guide, is travelling,
and James w. Taylor has been detailedto
fill that vacancy.
There was much less sport and frolic
about camp Saturday night than is usual
on the first night. Yesterday was The
very quietest Sunday ever known during
any previous e~ncampment. Religious
services were held i'll two places of the
camp yesterday morning. The Rev.
Henry M. Barbour, chaplain OF the
oficiate. He joined his family at Allan
tic Highlands yesterday afternoon. Many
Of the men went over to the services OF
the Sixth Regiment, where the Rev. j.. X.
Westwood, of Camden, presided. ten
eral Sewell attended this service. Gov
ernor Albeit visited the service OF the
Third Regiment.
Visitors were very numerous yesterday
afternoon, and from their presence re-
suited the only exciting matter of the
day. That was a genuine runaway. A
horse and cart were the chief performers
IN d comedy WHICH drew OuU tuo Wuolc
camp and particularly the Seventh Regi-
ment men. One of the visitors. Mr.. Eos
ter. of Manasquan, left his horse and vii
lage cart on the ground without tying his
horse. The animal started off slowly at
first, gradually showing his speed as he
made the entire circuit OF the
camp. The staff officers were the
first to take a look at the runaway as
the horse and cart flew past the brigade
headquarters. Twas in the course along
the pines on the north boundary Of the
camp that the little animal began show
ing his true form. The staff officers
gazed critically at the horse. but made no
effort to stop him. The Third and Sixth
Regiments came out to the scene, but did
nothing but stare at the frightened ami
NAL. Corporal Crozier, of the Seventh
Regiment, was shaving in his tent, and
rushed out. and caught the creature.
The horse and cart were wholly unin-
cured.
At fifteen minutes past six last evening
the first dress parade took place before
thousands of admiring visitors, as we'll as
a few hundred of city people from the
nearby resorts.
