Lone BEACH, Aug, z2.-From present
indications it looks very much as if the
camp Of the Ninth regiment would be
struck Thursday. There had been
some talk OF leaving Wednesday, but
vote was taken. and it was decided to
remain another day. A petition from
the citizens. asking that the regiment
remain longer, was presented. The
state militia fund, for the encampments,
was sapped nearly dry by the regiments
at Santa Cruz, and the appropriation for
the camps in Southern California has
thereby not been adequate for the Long
Beach camp, at least. Further action.
with view to the regiment remaining
here it's full ten days, will be taken
both BY the regiments officers and the
citizens Of Long Beach. 1t certainly
seems unfortunate, after all OF, Its prep
aration, that the town should not have
the men here for the full time.
This morning Capt. Barry had the
regiment out, and instructed them In a
number of tricks, and among others was
the new battle formation. A lively
skirmish drill was held, and under the
eye of Captain Barry the men did their
best in all points.
After dress parade in the evening. the
officers formed in line and marched up
to Captain Barry and by that gentle
man were instructed at some length in
their various duties.
The ball last night exceeded anything
ever held in Long Beach. 1t was given
by the citizens to the Ninth regiment.
The dance was held in the rink, and an
orchestra was in attendance.
