Camp schofield, Memphis, Tenn, May
fS.--The Fencibles in the roles of patent
fire extiDguishers and living picture
painters were the features Of the social
military menu here this morning. They
praeticed on Number g. alias Tommy
Hall, and a gallant snoring soldier, whose
picture will tell ON him when it is handed
around for private circulation only, when
the soldier boys get back to the capital
The picture Twas took" as Bret Harte's
girls say, upside down, which will eX-
plain why the subject wears his cap on his
feet and not on his head.
II is said that the things which hap
pened in camp this morning were the results
the Fencibles moving the last car into
camp last night and weIe compelled to
sleep at their city headquarters, the Pea
body Hotel. They had been attending the
reception given the Chickasaw Guards by
Miss Mallory.
TOMMY HALL AS LIVING PICTURE
They did the living picture caricature this
way: One of the boys, who had been out
rather late looking up the missing num-
bers of the programme, was asleep in his
cot. They seized him, tied him down with
a rope. sprinkled him with May blossoms,
piled on him ten pairs of shoes, placed a
tin basin as a crown on his head, and a
full dress cap Oh his feet.
Then they hauled him out of his tent i,
aud the artists stood around aud took back
front and side elevation. When he had
been sufficiently taken they reversed him,
aud doused him With several buckets OF ice
water
Then he and the picture We're hung out TO
dry The negative will be washed with
lemonade, and sent on to Washington
for multiplication.
Tommy Halls adventures were two
lengths ahead of the celebrated Tommy
! Tucker. This first mentioned good boy
was dressing To go TO church. He had
just gotten into nice new, clean pair of
duck trousers, when he was sprayed, so to
speak, with the contents of several buckets
of water. Water does not roll off the
back on this kind of duck.
WITHHELD FOR REVISION.
A full report of what Tommy Hall said
win not appear ip the Sunday Military
Magazine. Tho boys explained that they
though this teIit was on fire, but it's all
overnow and whetherthe fire wasiCcendiary
or incendiary makes no difference.
The Iowa State Band gave an enjoyable
concert this afternoon which was followed
by an exhibition drill by the Nicely Zouaves.
Then came dress parade and a review before
Gen. Schofield and staff.
Everything is quiet in the Morton camp
and now that the drills are over they are
putting in their ffne sightseeing
The outcome Of the drill is very un-
certain Each company's Interpretation
of the programme was so different that
no Que seems TO be able To pick the
winners, although every one, of course,
| thinks his company will win.
Tomorrow is athletic day, and an inter
esting programme is promised. Many
| local amateurs are entered, and great
crowd is anticipated al the park.
