Major Burdett's ideas of what operations are nec- essary and can be successfully carried out l during the week were submitted to the
 general, and program formulated by the major was considered.
 l The canvas tents for the troops have
 been pitched and the floors laid, and but little remains to be done to complete the
 arrangements for the reception of the sol
 diers.
 The color line as now extended to make
 room for the additional company in the
 First regiment Q), added to the brigade since last years encampment, is about one
 third of mile in extent from east to west | General Watson has issued the usual
 order prohibiting the sale of spirituous or
 malt liquors within circuit of one mile
 from camp, and will be prepared to assist
 the town authorities in the suppression of
 all gambling games which may be started,
 as they were last year, just outside the en-
 trance to the camp.
 | The usual careful observance of proper
 sanitary arrangements will be required as | prescribed by Medical Director George l., | Porter of Bridgeport. The surgeon or as- | sistant surgeon of each regiment will make | a daily inspection of the sanitary condi-
 tion of the camp of his regiment, of the food served to the men. He will also in. tspect, morning, noon and evening, the mess quarters, kitchens, garbage cans and
 latrines, and embody his recommendations
 in the daily morning report He is re- quired to keep the surgical instruments in
 stocked and in readiness for emergencies,
 carefully morning reports and promptly forward them as directed.
 | Surgeons call will be attended at the surgeons quarters. Soldiers sick in quar-
 ters will be prescribed for by the medical | officers of their respective regiments. the prescriptions to be forwarded and filled at the brigade dispensary. Soldiers too sick | to remain in quarters will be transferred to the brigade hospital tent At surgeons call the sick of the First and Second Sep | arate companies will report to the medical l officer of the Fourth regiment, and the sick of Battery Twill report to the medical officer of the First regiment. Medical officers will be on duty at the brigade hospita fn tours of 241 hours duration, from o'clock a. m. to 7:30 a, m. of the following day, and hospital stewards twentysix hours, from 7 a. m, to g 8. m.
 For Saturday the detail will be Surgeon Leonard B. Amy of the Third regiment and Assistant Surgeon w. G. Daggett of the Second regiment, with the hospital steward of the Third regiment and two members of the hospital corps, one from each Second and Third regiments. The signal corps of the First regiment, under Lieutenant Giddings, have made ar engagements to use safety bicycles in camp and while operating in the surrounding country. They will carry a much lighter | rife than that supplied by the state. They propose to make long tours around the country, establishing signal stations at re- mote points.
 The condition of the country roads around Mantle is likely to severely test the endurance of the men and the strength of the machines.
