mmau marched up to the lieutenant's
d ogartcrs with a stool to SIT on and paid

SURGEON Lincoln Of the Chathams fol
lowed the lieutenant with a very inter

dent. slight wounds, etc Both gentle
men are good takers and made the men
clearly understand their remarks.
The ChathamS drilled today
with their Washington guns
and haudledR them with precision
and snap. The artillery drill is very
interesting one and when properly exc

rade again to-day, the weather being fine.
THE GALATIANS TO SHOOT.
The Chathams will probably go on the

his men will be compelled to do good
shooting. Some of their men are old
time crack shots, and it is hoped that
they will do good work at the range The
4 Chathams are not armed wife the Spring
field rifles, and will have to use the guns
0ts0mc other company.
Capt. kenan gave another talk to the
Guards this morning and spoke particu-
A larly about the discipline of the
guard. There was one sentinel
from the Third regiment who had been
placed under arrest. for going to sleep on

plainly, pointing out the enOrmity of his
