WITH THE CITY GUARD.
Private Peterson of Company says he
is enjoying himself hugely this year, more
than ever before. He thinks he will prefer
the river to the tub this veal, however.
"Larry" Cling of the City Guard, who
has been suffering with muscle rheu-
matism, came to camp this morning. He
says that he is half dead, but will still stay
with the boys.
STRAY SHOTS.
Oscar Peterson, Swede in Company G,
First regiment, was frightened nearly out
of his wits by practical joke. Corporal
Beebe blacked himself up as negro and
went and told the unsuspecting Swede that
the colonel had given orders for him to 60
down to the negro quarters to be eaten.
The terrified Swede prayed for mercy, be-
sought the protection of those present, and
finally bolted outright. He was only in
duced to return when he was assured it
was all joke.
A camp follower was arrested and put
in the guard house this afternoon little
before o'clock for stealing pair of shoes
from Musician Whaples of the American
Second regiment band.
The catering of Mr.. NJ. Thalheimer, who
is serving five companies of the Second
regiment and four of the Third, is very
satisfactory.
There is great deal of talk of lynching
psny 9 for their medicine. Corporal Re-
gan of the same company can testify as to
the curative powers of the same. He drank
some milk few days ago which was very
bitter.
Private John Richardson of Company G
is trying to soutdo Leader Guilford in or
ganizing band. He is organizing a sing
1
struments. The name of his society is the
"Bergische Harmonic" Every evening
Leader Richardson is practising. His
time, however, is taken up mostly with
looking after the siege gun, of which he
will soon take complete charge.
Private Edward Regain of Company G is
one of the most soldierly looking men in
camp. His tent mate, Private O'Connell,
being one of the most entertaining men
here, the two make things interesting for
any who visit them.
During the engagement yesterday Lieu
tenant Lynch of Company A, First regi-
ment, was repulsed by Captain Brown of
the Grays. Lieutenant Damn of the Grays
followed up the retreating squad and
drove them upon Lieutenant Schappa of
the City Guard, who captured the whole
party. A newspaper sketch artist, Mr..
Chaplin of Hartford, was captured with the
squad.
To-day the Third and Fourth regiments
will do grand guard. The Fourth will
make the attack and the Third will hold
the line of defense.
