In the LIST Regiment the award of S25,
for largest attendance, best policed quar-
tiers, set up and military courtesy, was
divided by Col. Kendall between two COM
panies, SIS to the first and $40 to the Sec
ond. Col. Kendall was seen just prior to
the troops leaving town, and he had not
decided upon the companies to which the
prizes were to be awarded. In the I'd Regi-
ment the prize was not divided, and the
s2j vas awarded to Company K Of Calais
BY some Misunderstanding the report get
abroad that the award was to the Noulton
company.
There was slight delay Of the special
trains for the troops. This was not due to
any oversight by the acknowledgement, but
arose from Interpretation that the hour of
departure would be somewhat delayed, q
common thing by the way.
The expense of subsistence for the camp
was not far from $4,000. OF the supplies
it can truthfully be said that they were Of
superior quality and abundant in quantity.
Gov. Cleaves has all along insisted that the
men should have plenty of good food prop
erly cooked. He had in the commissary-
general, Col. Shaw, just the man to see
that this was done. Col. Shaw spoke very
highly of the interest taken by the j. E..
Fuller Company, that furnished the pro-
visions. I'll
The troops Of Che two regiments gave evi
dence of their loyalty to their officers in
every way possible, today. They visited
Col. Kendall at headquarters and cheered
him, and members. of bis staff until they
we're hoarse. and he thanked them very
prettily. Before this companies of the I'd
Regiment had called on Col. Philbrook and
in every way testified to him the popularity
he has won among them in the short time
that he has been in command. He thanked
them and his remarks were very appropri-
ate.
A great deal of interest has been mani
Tested in the State rifle team that is to go
to Sea Girt. The members of the Govern
or's staff testified their interest in having
the Maine rifemen provided with every
needed accommodation by personally sub
scribing $40 each. The members Of the
Executive Council raised 500, and Gen.
Conner will do all in his power to have
Maine properly represented at Sea Girt.
All interested in the National Guard of
Maine are DESTROYS that the next Legisla-
ture may fully appreciate the excellent
work of the troops, and see the need of ap-
propriating sufficient money to maintain
what has already been gained and to sup
ply all the needed equipments. 1t is de-
siredthat another company be added to
each regiment, and there are applications
already in. If the money can be had, those
two companies will be raised Immediately
and formed of the best material in the
State.
1t is surprising to see soldier
trained to the ambulance service,
pick up on the field a soldier whose
weight exceeds his own, and carry him
from the field, on the double quick so care
fully, that were the patient badly wound
ed his sufferings would not be intensified.
This branch of the service has Of late re-
ceived much attention in the regular
army, and in the guards of other states.
None can have a more enthusiastic and
efficient officer than Capt. Kicker has shown
himself to be, and he has a first class body
