 beer merchant" was taken i'll yesterday
 on account of his consignment not | showing up. It appears that 1t had been held up at the gates by the guards. He had been rather i'll all the week and
 had complained of lumbago, so that Messrs. Fred Guilford, Louis Felsburg
 and Drum Major Hunt and General Lee, the laundryman of the band, at-
 
 As they were hurrying him across the parade ground the beer hove in sight and the patient immediately recovered and, arising from his bed, sped with all possible haste toward his consignment. Ever since Schmidt's escape from the
 Red Cross Ladies" Jere Lynch has
 been standing guard over the consign-
 ment. Another load is expected soon. Louis Felsburg Is the chief of police in the street.
 Professor George Eager, formerly of New Haven, but at present professor of music at Chicago, is summering with
 his father near the camp, where he Is | a frequent caller. He had an experi- ence few nights ago which he will probably take with him to the windy | city. It seems that some boisterous | members of the Fourth regiment got
 hold of stretcher and were anxious to find an occupant for 1t. Prof. Eager happened to be around at the time and they immediately went for him. He is
 big fellow and is said to weigh 2SO pounds, and they did not find an easy | time of it. He fought them off as long as he could and then ran into an empty. tent, where he let his assailants have it
 right and left. His vigorous blows had | at last telling effect and he came off victorious. The Fourth regiment &C., l knowledged that they were unable to | make sick man of him against his will. But it is said that some of them feel pretty sick and against their will, | too.
 Fred Guilford, the popular piccolo player of the Second regiment band, is
 said to have tackled everything in camp | save water.
 The bands street is the only one in | camp that has had 100 per cent. throughout the week on inspection of quarters
 The City Guard will keep open house
 on Governors day.
 This company has had 100 per cent every day but one on inspection of | quarters. It was the biggest company l in the brigade yesterday. There were
 dozen Triggers" in the company this | morning and as a result several men had to go without a shine on their | boots.
 The raw recruits had a wheelbarrow 1 ride last evening which they enjoyed | very much
 ''The Four-Leaved Clover" consisting
 of Sergeant Gutbrod, CorporaLC. Born
 man, Musician Hoffmeister and Private Krauter, are as jolly as ever, and mean
 to give their friends right royal re- | ception on Governors day. Corporal
 Bornman has been taking pictures of
 the Calling gun and field battery. The personnel of the brigade shows great improvement and the men seem to
 realize that the purpose of the encamp-
 ment is to improve their knowledge of a soldiers duties. The novelty of camp life having worn away, the soldiers show a desire to attend drills and pa- | rades, aprefering work to all play, and there are few excuses from drill asked for.
 At sick call yesterday morning a large number of men reported suffer- | ing from summer complaint. The men are injudicious in the use of ice water before and after drill, which is the | cause of their trouble. i Two men from Go. K, the Fourth, are
 in the hospital suffering from nervous prostration. A case of dysentery was l so serious that a consultation was held
 between Surgeon-General Cassidy, Lieutenant Amy and Assistant Sur geon Thomson. The man is reported as
 improving to-day. ~ The order issued by General Haven
 in regard to teams entering the field on Friday applies to the buses and wag-
 ons that shall carry passengers. These vehicles are prohibited from entering the gates for the reason that the drivers get out and just as something l is going on hawk and yell to attract fares. The selectmen of Mantle issue l licenses to the teams at three dollars a
 horse and now the drivers are demand l ing that the selectmen protect them. The selectmen dislike to see the money l for licenses going out of town, but Gen. eral Haven is obdurate. notWithstand- l ing the fact that the first selectman thinks he has power to license the teams going on the state ground. Commissary-Gen Jamieson is very enthusiastic over the successful results achieved in his department. So far there has not been single complaint from the soldiery of the quality or quantity of rations furnished, but a few of the field officers have expressed slight dissatisfaction that they were
 unable to order extras.
 General Jamieson says that he will recommend to the legislature next win ter that the act be amended to make
 the pay of the privates SIPS day, and the subsistence to be furnished entirely
