The w. L. ]. C., Accompanied by Many
Friends. Depart for Ocean View.
The steamer Norfolk probably never carried
q more jovial crowd of passengers than will
leave the city on that boat this morning at
o'clock. The Washington Light Infantry
Corps almost to a man, twenty.four members
of the Corcorau Cadets, the Third Artillery
Band OF twenty-oDe pieces, and, as nearly as
can be estimated, five hundred friends Of
these popular organizations depart at that
time for the encampment at Ocean View, Va
All the preparations were completed last even
ing, and by 8 o'clock last night the w. l.. |. Q.
Armory presented a deserted appearance.
Everyone had retired early to be up with the
larks, ready for the grand daylight trip down
the Potomac. The very fact that the river
trip was to be made in the day time and that
arrangements had been made 80 that those
who were so disposed could be back in Wash
ington Monday morning, led great many to
accompany the soldier boys. great many,
however, will remain at Ocean View until the
end of the encampment on August "a,
having obtained accommodations at the
hotel where the militiamen will take
their meals and adjacent to which
the camp consisting of forty-six tents will be
laid out. A detail has been at Ocean View
for week past making preparations for the
encampment. The steamer upon its arrival
at Norfolk, which it will reach about $50 this
evening, will be received with a military
salute. At the dock the campers will be met
by four companies Of the Fourth Virginia Regs
iment under commend OF Captain George w.
Taylor, which will act as an escort from there
to the camp. Although series of social
pleasures, including visits to Fort Monroe,
Hampton, Cape Henry and other places of
interest in the vicinity will enliven camp
life, the vacation will not be all
play, as there will be plenty of
drilling and strict military orders will be en-
forced. 1t is to be regretted that owing to
pressure Colohel William G. Moore will not
be able to accompany his corps. The encamp
ment will consequently be in command of
General Ordway and his staff and the District
Commissioners will visit the encampment
before it closes. A partial list of those who
will accompany the corps is as follows: l. N.
