The Connecticut National Guard |
Preparing for Their Departure to |
Niantic-Armory Jottings.
Everything presents an animated ap-
pearance at the armory during these days
Immediately preceding the departure for
camp and in all the company rooms big
trunks are piled up packed with the goods
and chattels and belongings of the differ
emit companies ready to be loaded on the
trains and transferred to Mantle. "
Messes are being formed in most Of the
companies. Among some Of the ones al
ready formed are the following nesses
among the Blues: "The Midnight Four"
composed of Arthur Smith, Frank Shu-
bert, Edward Post, Joe Atkinson; ''The
Happy Hottentots," composed of G. T.
Garlock, W. Gardiner, G.. Morris and their
old ex-Corporal A. T. Garlock; "The Four
Tanks" consisting of John Morris, Jacob
Young, Mr.. Clifford and M. Rourke.
In the Light Guard there is a mess
named the Glowing Four" Sergeant
Welles belongs to this mess. He has
packed his medicine case full of sarsapa-
rilla, ginger ale and other like summer
drinks, as the sergeant never goes to camp
without something to quench thirst.
Mr.. Charles Fenton, who was formerly
musician with Company D, has been
promoted to the position of sergeant in the
| drum corps.
The City Guard held meeting last even
ing. The business done was of financial
character.
Nearly all the different companies were
represented at the armory last evening,
and all are looking forward with great ex-
pectation to pleasant week in camp.
1t is sometimes amusing to see the old
veteran, who has been to camp for q
number of seasons, giving out information
| to the eager young greenhorn who is
| going for the first time to be initiated
into the mysteries of camp life.
But without there is general feeling OF
good humor, and it is generally expected
that companies.will go with full ranks.
