MERS AND DISCIPLINE.
They Come From 4far and Pitch
Their Tents in The Meadow.

| dow OF 1reaQWdt IelQ was sui
rural scene with the cattle brusing il
the tall grass and the meadow
lark warbling song to the rising
sun.
At regular intervals could be seer
white stakes about two feet high dri-
ven in the sod On the South side
was written Company G. Company
F. Battery A" etc.
The early birds who had succeeded
in securing the worms settled upon
them and picked their b eakfast to
pieces. An occasional below from
the herd was all that broke the still
ness.
When the train arrived from Vir-
ginia City and discharged its men in
neat uniforms they marched i'll good
order to the camp grounds and at
once the scene changed from quiet
and stiffness to hustle and activity.
Tents were thrown up, blankets were
unrolled lines were run from East to
West and in coatless uniforms the
privates and officers worked them
selves into preparation under the
sweltering sun.
! The Battery drawn by strong
horses dashed up the field and in
few minutes the white tents We're
stretched in perfect line.
From one end If the grounds to
the other could be seen little knots
of men each man doing his best to
beat the other fellows.
Mattresses and pillows were made
with hay and The blankets were
spread with care inside the canvass
rooms.
First of al the quarters Of the pr
,, Yates were prepared and comforta
bly, arran. a, lastly the large tents of
the officers went up.
The brass work m their helmets
seemed to be getting considerable
attention and when ever a man found
few moments leasure he grabbed
piece Of cloth and chunk of polish
and went right to work preparing
for full dress pcrado in the evening
BY two clock the camps Of all the
company that had arrived were in
good order and ready for inspection.
What wonder the tired boys slept
a peaceful sleep and dreamed of dress
parade and admiiing glances of the
ladies. They worked 50 hard to give
the place clean and pleasant aspect
that even on the ground with straw
for mattress they lost themselves
in oblivion and were prepared next
morning to enter into regular camp
life.
The following is list of the regi
mental and Company officers who |
will see that the boys get an IN
sight into discipline and tactics.
