companies u ana n Leave FOR Mamie
This Morning.
At 8 o'clock this morning Companies
G, with sixty-seven men, Captain Wolff
commanding, and A, with sixty-five
men, Captain Moses commanding, left
their armory, and to the strains of mar
tial music marched in battalion to the
Naugatuck depot, under the command
of Lieutenant Colonel Burpee. A train
was side-tracked waiting to receive
them, and they were ordered on board
Immediately. Once on the train and
coats were pulled off and every one pro-
ceeded to make himself as comfortable
as possible. Knapsacks were opened
occasionally for some needed article,
and oftentimes was found the needless
brick. Such was the case with one of
G's new men, and the crowd good
naturally laughed as he tossed it out of
the window. The military train out of
Waterbury consisted of five cars drawn
by engine 1913, Ed Crowley on the foot
board and Conductor j. O'Brien in
charge, and on the arrival of the New
London express, pulled out for Mantle,
where the soldier boys will put in the
next eight days in military training.
With the cOmmiSSary department were
John III. Curley of the American and E.
L. Maloney, who will send the news of
camp by carrier pigeon to the DEMO
Graf readers every day.
NIANTIC, Aug 13.-Generar Haven
and the members of his staff arrived at
Mantle last night and this morning
superintendent the work incidental to
the arrival of the troops. Colonel Tyler
of the Third regiment and the officers
of his staff were also on hand early this
morning, although the regiment did
not arrive until noon. AS usual Battery
A, of Guilford was the first to arrive,
reaching Mantle at 9;42.
There was change in the weather at
II o'clock and it looked as if there was
to be a return to the old order of things.
mixture of ram and sunshine, rather
dampened things, but the quartermaster
was confident that the tents would be
dry enough by night. The first of the
infantry arrived shortly before II o'clock
at which time Company Ii Middletown,
of the Second regiment got here. The
other divisions came in, in about this
order:s Second regiment, at noon; Third
regiment, at noon; Fourth regiment, at
AS, First at 2:45. The Bicycle corps
from Hartford arrived this noon. They
encamped last night near Middletown
and to-day had very successful run.
The corps met with good success in their
efforts to take typographical survey of
the route from Hartford.
Governor Buckley is expected to ar
awe at o'clock this evening and he
will do it with great eclat. The entire
First regiment has been ordered out to
escort him from the depot to the camp
ground. A singular thing this year is
the fact that 113 of the commissioned
officers of the brigade, or about 60 per
cent of the whole number, are here
without their commissions. They have
their appointments, but as they have
not been examined they have not their
papers as yet.
There is an absence of fakirs at the
encampment gates this year that is as
singular as it is refreshing. The various
gambling games, hitting machines,
lung testers, three-card monte, thimble
Triggers, etc, are missing and in their
place are solitary mind-reader and one
or two milk-shake artists.
