4 SUMMER CAMP.
The Third Infantry to Go
Under Canvas.
Arrangements for Memorial Day
Escorts-Return of Colonel
Macdonald.

1t is definitely settled that the Third In
fantry is to have regimental camp this
summer. On Saturday Colonel Barry re-
ceived word from Adiutant-General Allen
that the scheme had received the approval
of the Governor. This is necessary to OBJ
tain the regiments pro rata of the appro-
priaiion for camping purposes.
The camp will be held some time in
August and will last about ten days. The
location has yet to be settled. The rroba-
bility is that the grounds will be selected
within very convenient access to the city
so as to minimize the cost of transporta-
tion. A committee on location will be ap-
pointed TO look over the field and report on
the various proposition which are usually
submitted by owners of desirable sites.
Colonel Barry has been very active in
working up an enthusiastic interest in the
outing of his regiment. He is satisfied that
nothing conduces so strongly to stimula-
ting an earnest interest in the military
welfare of regiment on the part OF alritS
members than season under canvas.
