nue., directly in front of the regimental
commanders quarters. The floor has
spring enough, but is not built after any
modern pattern and may bend in some
places more than others; but little atten-
ton is paid to such trivial matter, and
as long as the band plays there will be
dancing. This evening the platform was
crowded with dancers. and those who
did not think there was room there,
waltzed about on the ground. Every
body danced, and it was undoubtedly the
| jolliest night in camp so far.
During last night and to-day Captain
Hail acted as Officer of the Day, and
Lieutenants Stearns and Hevel as Officers
of the Guard At o'clock this evening
guard was mounted, and Captain Cursor
is now Officer of the Day, Lieutenant
| Lloyd is Officer of the Guard, and Lieu
tenant Sprague Lieutenant of the Guard

and the sentinels, as rule, are carrying
out the rules i'll saluting officers as they
pass by. Several do not, however, and
many think that because they do not
know an officer personally they are not
obliged to salute him. The sooner they
rectify the mistake the sooner they will
! be recognized AS more efficient in their
duties.
The ceremony of dress parade was con-
! Quoted last evening, and also this even
J ing, and it passed off very gracefully.
] The marching is all done in quick time
now, and it much improves the appear
, ance of body of troops. 1t gives more
spirit and dash to the drills, and the plan
| is altogether commendable.
| This remark is frequently heard,
| 'What would the camp amount to with
! out the band ?'' The visitors and camp
ers are in love with the band, and Cap
| tain OConnell never gets tired compli-
| menting the officers on the grand band OF
musicians they have with the regiment.
! He thinks they rank with any OF the
| leading bands in the State. Last evening
delightful concert was given in front OF
| Colonel Guthrie's tent
The battalion drill this morning was
conducted by Colonel Guthrie, and each
| company was instructed separately in
| the skirmish drill. Tomorrow the en-
! tire regiment Will be drilled in skirmish
/ work
! Tomorrow evening reception and
| bali VIII be given to the officers in camp
! by the proprietor Of the Pacific Ocean
| House, and twill undoubtedly be a swell
affair.
On Wednesday there will be BULBS
! head dinner in park near Santa Cruz.
! 1t is given by the citizens Of the city in
honor Of the First Artillery Regiment.
Major Woodburn of the Third Brigade,
! Fresno, was visitor IN camp to-day.
At the Ocean House tomorrow evening
