SOLDIERY OF The STATE.
Wherever Held, the Division
Camp Will Be in August.

these is that wherever the camp will be
held August will be the time, as originally
agreed upon. The other is the abandon
ment of the scheme suggested at one time
to split up the camp by sending the Second
Brigade so San Anselmo Qn July as it was
proposed and the other four brigades to
Santa Cruz in August.
General DimOnd has been at Yosemite
during the week, and so the matter OF the
eneampment has been at rest. Colonel
Castle, A. A. g., went down 10 Santa Cruz
On Saturday to investigate The Genera
will be in the city this week, and it is only
few days now when it will be known
what's what Whether it will be Santa
Cruz remains entirely with the Southern
Pacific 1t will be asked to reduce tho
81 so round trip fare for the Second Bri-
gade to s. 80 as heretofore, and the So far 9
for the other bTigades to SO 80, and if it will
not do that then to add the difference to the
cash and suuGry bonus of Santa Cruz If
it will not do either San AnselmO goes.
The more the San AnselmO proposition
it thought over the more popular it is. The
Second Brigade never has enthuSed over
Santa Cruz, and only to keep peace in the
family said "me, too" when the other bri-
gades said Santa Cruz" The brigade is
in state to be supremelY independent
this time, is making conditions and not ac-
ceptng any mOrSel thrown in its way
Everything apparently is most favorable TO
San Anselmo.
HOW NEW YORK DOES 1T.
The Second Brigade may pick up some
points TO its advantage from the report Of
the parade in New York on Memorial day
Of the First Brigade of that State. All
commands were in line ready to move at
the hour of 9 A. NJ. The signal corps of Is
men mounted acted as escort to the brigade
commander The SiXty-ninth, with acting
m ajOTs and adjutants mounted, paTaded
three battaliOns, and the Eighth two baltal-
Ions of four companies each, 10 files front,
the Eighth's ambulancs corps, with stretch
erS. bringing up the rear.
The Ninth. headed by q drum corps and
the Twenty-secOnd with 40 in its corps
paraded battali0ns Of 4 companies each,
l6 files front, acting majors and adjutants
mounted. The Seventh. which forms u
companies under the new regulations, pa
raded battaliOnS, each of u platOOnS, 16
files front. 1t paraded without a band TO
sustain a principle established in 1891.
Upon Colonel Daniel AppletOn's decision
not 10 employ a band unless the musicians
played for So as at other paTades all the
other Tegimental commanders resolved to
follow his example, and hence there were
no regimental bands with the Natioual
Guards.
The Twelfth formed three battalions,
each Of four companies, the first and third
of II and the second Of 16 files front. This
regiment furnished music for each battalion,
giving a drum corps to each. The Seventy
first had three battalions of four companies
each, the first Of II, the second of y and IS
and tie third of "A files front. The First
Battery paraded four guns. six officers and
63 men; the Second, four guns, 60 men and
five officers. Troop 4 had three officers
and 90 men in six platoons of IA files, headed
by a mounted band of 20 pieces.
Lastly came the Naval Reserve Battalion.
1t was its first parade with $50 men, 3 bat
terles being equipped as Infantry, forming
six companies OF IS files front, and two
companies forming a division under lieu
tenant. The Third Battery, equipped as
artillery, had two howitZers ana as many
machine-Runs. and was followed by the
Signal and Torpedo and the Ambulance
corps.s
SECOND ARTILLERY NOTES.
An effort will be made by the Second
Artillery to do something for Trumpeter

regiment will be paraded on the occasion.

SENDING TROOPS TO CHICAGO.
As to the sending of troops to Chicago in
1893, nothing has been decided on. and, in
deed, no serious attention has been paid to
IT, But General Miles has set his heart on
having a large body of regular troops at
the exposition, and General Miles is apt to
have what he wants. In wanting this he
undoubtedly has the popular will with
him. and all the influence, which is
considerable, of the National Guard.
The National Guard all over the country is
arranging for a large encampment at the
exposition. Its members desire to meet
there large body of regular troops. 1t is
the belief of General Miles that it will be
beneficial to both to meet. His influence
will, Of course. be re-enforced by all the
influence Chicago can bring TO bear on Con-
gress, and all IN eIests that are supporting
the exposition will be found working in the
same direction.
From every point of view this is im-
pOrtant," SAYS the Army and Navy Register.
"Ihe people of the United States have
had little opportunity to become acquainted
with their army 1t will be a pleasure to
the people 10 see the army and the latter
will benefit by the increased interest Of the
people In it, The army has suffered as the
navy has. though perhaps in a less degree,
because of its smalness and remOteness
from the great body OF the people. It will
do the army good to be seen in bulk 10y the
people who support it, and who sometimes,
because they never see IL and hear little of
IL. think it an imaginary thing
"Ihe assembling of large body of regu-
lar troops and the National Guard at Chi
cago will afford officers of the Federal and
State services q chance to study practically
some important tran sportation problems,
and the mere handling OF considerable
bodies Of troops will have an educational
value. Every military as we'll as every
spectacular consideration supports General
Miles in his proposition, aud there will un-
douDtedly be a larger force Of regulars at
Chicago next year than there will be for the
four days OF next October's celebration"
