and stopped on the road an hour for

for repairs. While coasting down hill
labout six miles from Mantle the springs
of the wire saddle broke and Lieutenant

over each other into the ditch. He was
not injured, got up, improvised sad
| die and rode into camp on the saddle
port. Lneutenant jenkins came by way
of Bolton. The distance is about forty

| THE. NEW HAT.
| The new campaign hats of the brigade
| give militiamen an unnatural appear
lance. The wisdom of adopting the
mouse-colored slouch hat was fully de,
monstrated to-day, as it is a frst-class
| rain protector. The appearance of &
regiment of marching militiamen attir,
ed in the new hat reminded one of the
| old war pictures. The men have not as
vet adapted themselves to wearing thC
new hat in uniform manner. Some
have creased tous, while the others are
dented. The men still retain their caps
which will be worn at times.
