 CAMP MORRIS, Mantle, August 23.-| The second day of this camp is over and such brilliant days work the officers have seldom witnessed. Especially has the Second regiment done itself proud l and Colonel Doherty is elated. The bat ! talion drill in the morning was an awful ! test to the men, particularly the re- cruits. The sun shone down with fear | full heat and not a few of the recruits | regretted for the moment that they were c. N. c. men. The drill is the hardest of the day and lasts for two hours with | with intermittent rests. Major Calla-
 han commanded the first battalion and Major Dickinson the second. The man. \ euvers were executed with eXactness. | Colonel Doherty on his black charger watched his command with pleasure
 and at the close of the drill compli-
 mented both battalions. At the regi-
 mental dress parade in the afternoon
 the beautiful ceremony of escorting the | colors was again carried out, this time
 with more care and promptness.
 Several of the men succumbed to the heat. Four men from Co A, Sergeant
 Hampson and Privates Herman, Win
 ters and George Smith were compelled
 to leave the ranks. Hampson and
 Smith are all right this morning and on
 duty. Private Winters, however, is
 confined at the hospital and is very ill. l In falling from the ranks he struck on
 the back of his head and as a cOnse- lquence it took nearly an hour for the
 hospital corps to bring him around. IL
 is thought nothing serious will result. Last night was another quiet one in
 camp. That tired feeling" seems to
 have attained a foothold among the
 companies. Seldom do you see the old
 triks as in days of yore. Once in awhile
 some unfortunate receives his medicine
 This morning everything is bright again
 and cooling breeze is blowing across the camp ground.
