General Orders Issued-The Routine
Well Received.
General orders have been received by
all the military companies from the brig
ade headquarters. They are in effect the
for superior officers is directed in accord
ance with military formalities. The Off
GERS are instructed to keep the dignity of |
the Office which can be done and the good |
will of the men also kept. The slipshod
soldier is also told to look more to his uni
form and to his proper appearance at all
times. The orders say that faults of this
kind are due to lack of vigilance and deci-
sion on the part of the officers. 1t is be-
lieved that the warning will be well heed
cd.
All drills are to be under the new regu-
lations and tactics, in which all the COM
panies of the brigade have been well drill
ed. The routine of the camp, as set out
in the orders, has met the approval of the
men, owing to the fact that there is to be
no battalion drill in the afternoon. This
is, however, offset by the fact that the
battalion drill in the morning will be two
miles long and there is an extended order
of three-quarters of an hour.
The camp is to be known as Camp
White, in honor of the late lamented
George M. White, who was assistant adju-
tant general.

gade headquarters at New London:

pany K, Second regiment, and Second

First regiment, have been detailed to act as
officers of the provost guard. The men are
hoping there will be no taking BARRIERS at

camp there were about dozen men who
brought to camp a regular civilians dress
and stood around the parade ground while
through the trying ordeal of a battalion
drill The officers will be on the lookout

Captain Howard A. Giddings of Hart
ford, one of, Brigadier- General Haven'f
| s-de-camp, is at work by General
Ravens direction upon the details, which
, are not yet ready for publication, but i
:, may be said that the events will include
most of the old-fashioned events, nov
somewhat out of style, and as many O.
them as the circumstances of time, ground
etc., will permit.
OF course the sports will have to be car
ried out on the parade ground, and it,
contour and limited extent will make
bicycle races impossible, since no time
worth speaking of could be made on
track more or less billy in spots and no
over a short quarter of a mile in it,
greatest diameter.
But there will be room enough anc
plenty of level ground for shorter foo
races, such as the 100-yard and 44O-yarc
dash races with yacked knapsack, over
Z coat and rifle; races by men carrying eaol
a heavy shot; throwing the hammer; put
ting the shot; standing and running broad
jump; high jump, standing and running
> etc.
r AS soon as the details are arranged anc
3 approved by the general, full information
as to terms of entry, rules, etc., will b.
obtainable by all who are interested in an,
8 way. The events will of course be opel
r to any members of the National Guard
officers or enlisted men.
Competent persons will be selected q
officers Of the events; these matters ar
still in the works.
: AS to prizes there is margin for ques
ton. OF course there ia no fund which
can be drawn upon for the expenses of tn
tournament" and the only money whicl
3 can be used for the purposes of prizes ant
| other expenses will be that paid in for en-
trance fees-unless, perhaps, somebody i
interested enough to go down into hi
pocket and pull gift which shall stand a
the nucleus for a prize fund.
