This Afternoon.
 CANT BRADLEY. Mantle. Aug 15.-This | morning the signal corps was divided into | three sections, each section to bring a | message from New London. One section l used the flags. another the heliograph and | the third eight relays of bicycles. The message was written and sent by George A. Sturdy, city editor of the New London Telegraph, to Brigadier General Haven, and read as follows:
 Congratulations on the success of Camp Bradley. Most successful in the history of the state."
 At the last moment it was found i'm possible 10 use the heliograph owing to the absence of the sun. The bicyclists de- livered the message in twenty-six minutes. Up to 2:30 the message by flags had not | been received.
