CAMP MOORE, August 10, 1891.
Quietness reigns supreme at Camp Moore on
the seaside and the Light Infantry are resting
auietly on their laurels and arranging plans for
new conduests and new successes. Yesterday
the bathing commenced and today 10 has been
continued with great vigor. The beach is first
class and an important event OF the day ID the
bath. There is then considerable fishing going
on. Col Blackford yesterday in q few hours
fishing caught eighty-two big trout, and,
what is looked upon as still moro mar
velous, brought them in with him,
40 that those who looked must believe. Other
catches of larger sized proportions have been
recorded and other men are maturing the size
of the fish they intend to catch or, at any rate,
to tell about catching. The Unexpectedly large
crowd which Is STAYING down with the soldier
bows complicated for a time the arrangements
at the hotel but today things are moving
much more smoothly and still further I'M
provements will doubtless occur.
THE REGULAR MILITARY PROGRAM
The regular military program includes
guard mount at o'clock and dress parade at
o'clock. The dress parade yesterday ana the
two guard mounts which have already oc-
Cured show that the Infantry have not lost
the skill in drill which has always been one OF
their characteristics. During the week the
sauad, company and battalion drills VIII be
continuous and according to Gen. OrdWay
order four hours must be devoted by each
company to the new extended order drill Inc

some COMPLAINTS.
The principal cause of complaint about the
races of yesterday il the bad start made in the
quarter-mile dash. Bergin. who won the race
had full length start of all the others, and 60
much start as that in so short distance gives
On advantage which it is almost impossible to
overcome.
One reason of complaint that is heard abou,
the boat races Of yesterday is that there was nc
way to distinguish the different crews.
Caps Of bright colors had been purchased,
but they were not on hand when wanted yes
terday. Had they been worn they would have
been an aid only to the oarsmen who had
been informed beforehand of what the
different crews would wear, for NO
of colors t. be worn. That is not the only point
Of dissatisfaction about the program either.
Another complaint is that only the names OF
the men entered in each race are given and no
mention is made OF the clubs to which they be-
long.
good suggestion has been made abou,
starting the races. It has been practiced in
Newark, N. j., to advantage. 1t is that of firing
