 The DEMOCRAT carrier pigeons releas- ed at Camp Morris at 930 this morning arrived in Waterbury at 10:50.
 CAMP MORRIS, Mantle, August 22.-I It is SIX o'clock and the sun is shining |
 brightly, quite contrast from the pre- ceding morning. The sun broke |
 through the clouds late yesterday after | noon but still ominous clouds hovered over the camp ground. It looked to |
 many as if the boys were in for week l l of bad weather, and when the bugle | call awoke them this morning there were smiles of satisfaction on the faces
 of all. The Second regiment yesterday, under
 Col Doherty, inaugurated new feature
 at the regimertal dress parade in the | afternoon. While the regiment was
 standing with open ranks Col Doherty gave the order, GO c to the front and
 center" The company immediately closed ranks. The band, which had
 been on the right, marched down with
 out music past Co c, which fell in be-
 hind. They marched to the color quar-
 ters in Col Doherty's tent. Here Chief | Trumpeter Meaney sounded the color
 call. Bugler Meaney had only two min
 utes notice concerning the new order of things and had never blown the call be- fore. He is a good musician, however,
 and while a soldier held the notes he
 sounded the call, which was one of the
 prettiest heard in camp. The band
 then led the march while the colors were between two platoons,
 into which company c had been
 divided. The march was around the right flank of the regiment and the
 colors were left in front of the center ] of the first battalion. The regiment saluted the colors and then took its
 place in line, Co c taking its old posi-
 tion. The move is a pretty one, but on } a warm day when the men are com pelled to stand in one position awaiting
 the colors it will be very trying. Even on yesterday, cool as It was, a private of Co fell as if shot. He was taken to his , quarters and recovered shortly after wards.
 u The regiment was rather slow in the } maneuvers yesterday, especially in the gnard mounting. That was principally caused by the too long inspectson by the = snpernumerary officer of the guard. ] The damp weather and the knowledge that many of the men are recruits had also something to do it. To day, how T ever, 1t Is expected that things will ht r different.
 - Last night was an cventful one for oA AAS A0ILuilSs lucy ltAA ltidl
 something would happen, but what it n was they were at loss to know. IL Q was hard night for them and also for n the officers of the day, who were kept e busy reminding many of the boys that r lights must be out at taps. Shouts 7 of laughter echoed and re-echoed D through the camp ground as some pool e unfortunate was receiving his initia-
 ton. The two local companies were b not behind in this respect and many { V boy Is this morning nursing severe bruises and sore limbs. The boys were t tired and the fun ceased earlier thar e usual and by midnight stiffness per ,- vaded the camp and only o the challenge of the sentinel
 broke the stiffness. This morning tn, V boys are in good spirits and are ready IS in earnest for the weeks work. CaptaiI [. A. J. Wolff is officer of the day V and as a consequence his own command t and is on its metal and woe betlde tn, '. man who oversteps the mark and bring n a rebuke from the gallent officer.
