Dickinson, were at Colonel Dohertys tent
to-day.
THE REGIMENTAL PARADE-REvIEw BY
GENERAL HAVEN.
Ala o'clock this afternoon the usual reg
mental parades took place, and at 5:15
brigade formation was gone through with
for the first time at camp this year. This
was sort of rehearsal for Governors day,
when Governor Morris will review the en-
tire brigade. General Haven reviewed the
soldiers to day and expressed himself as
highly gratifed at tho fine showing all the
regiments made.
THE SECONDS FINE SHOWING.
The Second regiment made the best show
ing, while the First followed closely.
PRESENTATION TO DIR. TwrrcHELL.
Directly after brigade formation the
members of the Second regiment marched
directly to regimental headquarters, where
very interesting ceremony took place.
The Second regiment has been for some
time contemplating giving their honored
chaplain, DR.. Twitchell, who has faithfully
served them for the past seven years, some
token of their regard and friendship. Ac-
cordingly subscription was raised and an
elegant gold watch was purchased, which
was presented to him on this occasion by
Colonel Doherty, who made an appropriate
presentation speech. DR.. Twitchell re-
sponded very feelingly and was visibly
affected by the token of love and respect
which had been thus given to him. After
he had finished speaking the men gave
three hearty cheers for their beloved chap
lain and then marched to their tent.
NO DISSATISFACTION.
The officers and men of the Second regi-
ment are very much annoyed at the arti-
cles which have appeared in the various
| newspapers stating that there was dissatis-
| faction at the food which has been fur
! nished by the state. They claim that the
state has taken special pains to furnish the
best food possible, as this ia the first year
In which the state hos had charge of the
| catering. A COURIER representative called
| on each of the different companies to day
| and from all came the same response, "We
| are perfectly satisfied with our food. 1t
| Is clean, wholesome and enough of 1t, and
Is much better than We formerly paid SO
per week for" The unanimity of both
| men and officers on this point was sur
| prising, and it is safe to say that there has
been less kicking this year than ever be-
fore. The only complaint was made by a
few on account of the Absence of pie, cake
or pudding.
| There are
INSPECTORS OF FOOD
Who inspect everything that is set before
the men and throw out all that is OBJ
jectionable. 1t would seem that the re-
port originated in the fertile brain of
some camp correspondent.
