Nothing of Importance happened until to-
day when the guard mount was held,
| Lieut.. Foley of the Sheridan Rifles, Port
land. as officer of the day. The guard
mount of the Second Regiment was very
good, considering the fact that there are
| three new companies and that two of the
adjutants and one of the sergeants have
never taken part in a muster.
| The battalion drill of the Second Regi
ment took place at p. m. and tEat of the
| First Regiment at $50 p. m. The soldiers
| performed their work in a manner which
| should be pride to themselves and to the
whole state.
| Maine can now boast that she has one Of
| the finest military organizations in the
/ country. IT,
| The Dana Battery company of Lewiston
| the Montgomery Guards and Sheridan Rifles
| of Portland marched to st. Mary's Catholic
| church this morning where they attended
mass. Divine service was held at the camp
at three tire afternoon. 1t was conducted
| by Rev. Mr.. jenkins of Rockland. chaplain
| of the First Regiment and Rev. Mr.. Coch
| ran of Hallowell, chaplain of the Second
| Regiment.
| H. L. Hill, private Co. D, Second Regi-
ment, Norway, broke his leg while wrestling
| this morning. He was Immediately taker
| to the hospital and was somewhat better this
| morning.
| The barber shop is presided over by
4 o 7 ia Il,
| six experienced tonsorial artists.
| Charles Mclaughlin has charge of the
Suffers camp, which position he has held
| for number of years.
| AS muster has not been held for two
| years, considerable interest is felt amone
| military men at this one. The men are tt
! be paid off every night at roll-call and /
| man who is not present will receive no pay
Indications now point to most success
/ full muster, and if the weather is only fair
| there will be many visitors in Augusta the
| coming week.
| : The men are restricted more this year thai
| at any other encampment. Very few passes
| will be given so that the soldiers will be OBJ
| Iiged to remain in camp the greater part o
| the time.
Tonight a sacred band concert was give1
| by Pinchauds Second Regiment band, which
| was listened to by large audience.
