PLANS OF THE SEVENTH REGIMENT FOls IhhI ~
ENCAMpMENT-M1NoR AFFAIRS
The members of the 9TH Regiment have recovered
completely from the hard work done at the state
Camp at Peekskin. Although they have done niue
work at the armory, they have begun already to dis
cuss the advisabilty of going to camp in 1892, at
,bei- own expense The editors Of "The 9TH
Regiment Gazette" have been requested to record the
votes Of the men regarding the proposal IL Is
planned to hold the encampment at some site more
convenient than Peekskill.
Before the time of State camps the gallant 9TH
often conducted successful encampments. Indeed In
those days, the men had greater opportunities foi
fun and enjoyment than they have at the present
time The expenses would not be too great for each
man. 1t is argued by the promoters of the scheme as
the regiment can give entertainments tO"alu
that end during the autumn, winter ana
spring The editors of "The Gazette are
also of the opinion that camp equipments
be hired from neghborng States and that arrange
ments for mess be made easily with hotels IN the
neichborhood Of the grounds. There is doubt that
many places in the neighborhood of New-YoK Woulu
be glad to welcome the 7th. The plan is worthy
one and deserves to succeed.
The July number of "The 9TH Regiment Gazette"
IS unusually interesting. Much of its space Is de-
voted to history of the days at the camp ana Is li
of attractive for the many friends OF the rsl-
