The Third Regiment, n. G.. c.,
Takes an Outing.
Companies B and F. With the Field Music,
Spend Pleasant Day at Tamalpais.
Everybody Happy.

The members of tile different companies
of the Third Regiment who went into camp
at Tamalpais Villa on Saturday night last
did not expect such large number of
friends to greet them on the following day.
A short time ago il was arranged that Com
panies and f, in addition to the Field
Music, should hold a two days camp in
close proximity to the city, and after a tour
of inspection by the members who had the
mat ter in hand, Tamalpais Station was
settled upon as an appropriate and pleasant
place TO hold levee of this kind.
The large number of friends who came up
on the different trains were met by mill
tary escort and conducted to camp, where
the Inequalities were dispensed with a
lavish hand.
Colonel Barry and staff were present, and
went in to show the soldier boys how to
have good time. In this they were Sue
cessful, as every one appeared to enter into
the good humOT which prevailed on every
side, and all present did their utmost to
make tie affair a success in every par
ticular
PLEASED THEM ALL.
The committee who had the pleasant occa-
sion in charge pleased all concerned when
they gave the camp the name of "Camp De-
genial Captain, and the large number of
friends OF the Third Regiment who were
present yesterday and are acquainted with
the gallant Adjutant will say the camp was
rightly named
Many Of the guests spent their time in
rambling about the pleasant hillsides to
gather the wild flowers which grow ID such
pTOfuslOn in this locality. Others sought the
secluded shades of the dellS and the cool air
Of canyons and spent their leisure hours in
gathering the gentle maiden-hair and gold
back fern. Others who delighted IN the
strains of Terpsiehore had splendid plat
form and an excellent band to entertain
them.
TARGET PRACTICE.
While all these pleasures were going on
the members of Company b did not forget
that they belonged to the National Guard
and that target practice Is necessary ac-
complishment for a guardSman. With this
end in view Ca tain Kennedy gave inStruc-
tions 10 all members Of his company that
target would be placed in position and all
the members would be expected TO show
what they could do on strange range and
on the open field. The members entered
into the competition with good will and
many excellent scores were made. The re-
suit Of the rifle practice will be found in the
rihe-shooting column of this journal.
Previous TO the time of departure for home
the companies were drawn up into line
and reviewed by the Colonel and staff, who
expressed great satisfaction at the military
bearing and good conduct of the men while
| on pleasant outing.

| ment, stationed in San Rafael, was a guest
of the staff and expressed himself as we'll
| pleased with the manner in which all things
