beat With expectations.
IL was noon, however, before the Wis
itors began 20 arrive. They came from
all directions. The great locomotives
pulled their way into the city railway
stations, and carloads OF people were
unloaded. There were the pretty,
bright expectant faces of tue soldiers

ANXIOUS mother, ami the adminng
sister. All were mingled together,
the destination OF all being the sam c
place. Soon the road from the city
TO the cam grounds was literally COW
cred with vehicles. It's est lmated that
their carrying capacity was 1000 on
each trip nd they kept it up ali day
long. The camp finally began 10 re-
sem5le great metropolis on holiday.

II was almost impossible To force a pas

| % nations. The quartermasters and
| stewards of each company exerted
/ themselves 10 their utmost, and the re-
| suit was that the most tempting dishes
were prepared. IL could hardly be es-
/ umated the number OF visitors who oc-
/ cupied places at the mess tables. IL
could safely be placed at 5000, how
ever. Three car loads of guests came
from Grand Rapids alone 10 visit the
members of Co. B., L. and X, and the
treatment they were accorded will not
soon be forgotten. The following list

The program for the day was not so
arduous as on the week days. What
there was, however, was grand and I'M
posing. In the morning the general
inspection took place. The trOoDsneveT
looked neater than when they were
marched onto the great drill field. In.
spector-General Newberry, assisted 10y
the brigade officers, examined the uni
forms, guns and accoutrements of the
soldiers critically, and when they had
finished they expressed themselves as
extremely we'll pleased with the appear
ance of everything. The Grand Rap
ids boys were highly compllmented
by Gen. Newberry. The tents and
general equipments were next inspected
and there is not a doubt but that flat
tering report will be returned.
In the evening the dress parade was
witnessed by thousands of people. The
Nineteenth infantry formed on the
right of the State troops, and the five
regiments presented fine appearance
as they went through the beautiiu
movements of the parade.
The assault made upon the soldier
at Battle Greek last night mas been {
topic of absorbing interest all day. Al
the boys feel deeply chagrIned TO think
that few hoodlums should bring dis
grace to Camp Black. II IS true tina
