How the First Regiment Will Dress
for Summer Can1n

How the First Regiment Will Dress
for Summer Camp.
When the First Regiment goes into camp
at Santa Cruz on the 10th of June, the gal
liant men and true who compose its ranks
will present highly military appearance.
that has until now been lacking as an ele-
ment of summer camping.
Hitherto each man has worn pretty
much what seemed good unto himself. and
though taken individually the costumes
have all been neat ana appropriate, a
heterogeneous collection of hats and over
coats has not tended to give the regiment.
collectively, that air Of stern precision and
uniformity that is associated with the SEN
tlments of LET me like soldier fall"
All that is to be changed now, however.
From the 10th 10 the oath of June not one
OF the campers belonging to the First Reg
iment Will ever appear in mufti. The
service uniform will be worn exclusively
in camp, with leggins and campaign hat
Colonel W. p. Sullivan, who is to have his
first experience as commander of camp,
was asked by q CALL reporter yesterday
whether the wearing of service uniforms
was to be rule without exceptions.
"There are to be no exceptions" he re-
piled. "Ail the men must dress alike" 4"
Then the gallant colonel reflected for a
few moments. and with a smile stealing
over his martial features, be added: ''If
any Of the First Regiment wish to go court
ing in Santa Cruz guess they will put on
a Iull-dress uniform to go down in.''

they were set rather close together Then
he moved to the center of the cage and stood
behind Mr.. Blackburne. the action causing a
chorus of admiring remarks from seven
small boys, who pressed against the outer
rail.
Loben glared at the reporter. and the re-
porter was particularly agile In returning
the stare. The lion then began to circle
around the cage, continuing to size up the
intruder and paying no attention to Mr.
Blackburne. Although slightly dazed the
reporter recollected having heard sometime
in The past a remark to the effect that the
pen is mightier than the sword, and he
wondered IL n pencil was at all effective as a
weapon, but his thoughts were disturbed by
Mr.. Blackburne forcing Loben to trot about
the cage and jump over the broom handle,
much to the pleasure of the spectators on
the outside and greatly to the damage of
the reporters nervous system. He lodged
the animals bounds until dizzy.
Finally after much persuasion the lion
lay down. and the keeper said:
Hes all right. Come over and pet him. T"
The lion was still casting meaning glances,

Many improvements have been made Of

is public comfort house. 1t is to occupy
the site of the present prairie dog town,
which is an ideal spot The dogs will be
moved to the meadow directly opposite the
main entrance to the park. They need a
new location, as the present one is too
small and the soil has become foul The
public comfort house will be picturesque in
design, will contain a lunch room and be
provided with wide verandas, where Wis
itors may rest. Toilet rooms will be located
in the basement.
Boulders now on hand from which
a gate house is to be erected at the main

gate keeper and a place where visitors NAV

the grounds. A new elephant house is also
contemplated. A fence is now being erect ed
about an immense poplar tree, situated
just to the left of the present elephant
house. which. when completed will make
an ideal home for the raccoons. A road
way 400 feet in length near the PRINCIPAL
animal house is being laid according to the
Telford system, which provides a base of

IN LOCAL STUDIO S

Among our artists who are still abroad
is Mr.. Z. F. Andrews. who. as usual, has
spent the entire summer wandering through
the social and artistic centers of Europe.
Naturally, the foreign exhibitions have oc-
cupied much of his time and attention, and
letters received from him have been full of
pithy descriptions and amusing criticisms.
In speaking of the style of painting termed
"impressionism," which has occasioned so
much interest and discussion during the
past two years, Mr.. Andrews says of the
Royal Academy exhibition: IF the impress
sionists ever influence English art 1t will be
not this year surely. There is scarcely a
single one representation Of that school in
Burlington House. The French are also
dropping 1t. but very slowly, some of the
Salon exhibits being perfect marveis of ar
tistic surprises. Many of them, in color
and composition, were quite beyond the un-
Outstanding of ordinary human beings.
Perhaps the artists themselves knew what
they were trying to do. but am quite sure
no one else did,"
Mr.. Andrews will start homeward next
Wednesday, arriving in time to be present
at the opening of the COrcoran School.
Mr.. Hinckley, although still suffering
from the effects of a recent attack of ner-
vous prostration. Is busy with number
get out of the way" before the Corcoran
School opens. During the coming year the
painting classes of this school will be en-
tirely under his supervision. and both
teacher and students are looking forward
to, and enthusiastically preparing for, a
hard winters work. AS soon as he was
able to travel after his illness, Mr.. Hinck-
ley went to Europe, where he visited the
schools and ateliers, including those Of his
friend. Carolus Durand, picking up ideas, I"
so that he is fully equipped for the thor
ough course of instruction through which
he intends to put his students. The en-
thusiasm and energy with which the artist
speaks of his plans sugurs well for their
