Change being secured. each man, includ-

and huge glasses of beer quickly set upon
the counter. This was repeated Il second
time.
Here was a distinct case of liquor being
sold to Il civilian and treating allowed in
the canteen OF the fort, entirely in viola

Leaving the canteen a visit was paid to
the building formerly used as the adju-
tnnts office, situated at the rear of the old
guard house near the river bridge and
within 100 yards of the dwelling house of
the officer OF the regiment. Not a single
sentry was seen, and to all intents and uv-

along the side of a stone building, nm open
doorway was observed, from which

In a small cupboard We three kegs of beer,
which was served out freely hy a soldier in

at one table dressed in civilian
clothes. and from their appear

same AS the rest. Determined to see if the
game was open to all, the leporter after a
few minutes threw a dollar Upon the table
and called for n stack of chips.
The dealer handed them out, and a
soldier sitting in front was asked to play.
