Correspondence Of The Evening Star
CAMP FOSTER, COLCHESTER BEACH, Nd,
August Is. 1892
Beautiful weather. pretty girls and plenty to
eat make combination that covers the whole
is the case here in camp.
Guard mount took place last evening at 6
o'clock, the whole ceremony being gone through
with without break, in the presence Of large
crowd of visitors.
After guard mounting there was scarcely
Cadet but who was in turn taken under the
guard of some fair maiden and escorted through
the various amusements until 9 p. M, at which
hour the last boat leaves for Baltimore As
the boat left the wharf all the boys Joined in
sing ing Fare well, much to the enjoyment Of
all.
After the boat left the boys adjourned to the
razzle dazzle and roller coaster. where they
spent the time in singing ard riding until 10
o clock. when tattoo was sounded. When taps
were blown at 10 80 from the melodious bugle
OF Gibson the camp became as quiet as could
be desired. The silence unbroken until
reveille except b. the tramp Of the sentinels
the snoring of Pete Lewis and the colored
mascot. who. by the way. is a Washington lad
and halls from Bloodfield. At $50 am. the
company drilled in the extended order and Oh,
my, what an appetite it gave them for the
breakfast at 7:30.
AT $50 the lines we're again formed and for
two hours Capt. Edwards drilled the Cadets as
he only knows how to drill and get the necessary
work out Of q company. The guests at the no
tel We're out en- masse and the way the Cadets
scaled 5-foot rail fence at double time was a
revelation to them all. In fact, the bows were
surprised themselves that they performed the
feat easily and in unison. Blank cartridges
were issued to every man and the skirmish drill
was made all the more realistic by the reports
thereof.
Wednesday, however, will be the banner day
in camp, as by that time the boys will be we'll
nigh perfect in the drill, and will give an ex-
hibition before the immense crowd that is as
sured for that date
This afternoon the company will again assem-
BILE for target practice at their range and this
will conclude all military work until tonight ut
6 o'clock, when the guards will be posted, a. no
guards are kept from a. IN. to 6 pm.
The Baltimore beat has again brought down
an immense throng and the boys are enjoying
themselves dancing and bathing. Every one
was on tand, however, at 1880, when dinner
was served. The meals still continue excellent
and today the boys' hearts were gladdened by
the serving Of spring chicken and plenty Of It.
The change OF water has affected some Of the
company and DR.. Foster has been kept quite
busy in consequence. Otherwise all the boys
are well and perfectly contented to remain hefe
q month wore such thing possible.
Some sneak thief stole "Col. Thompson's"
false tooth while he was slceping Last night and
1t will not be well If he 10 caught. The tooth
contains about eS worth Of gold and has bssn
| in his family for many years.
