CAMP BUDD, VALLEJO. June IL. 1885
This has been dull and uneyentful day
In camp. There was a battalion drill
this morning, and SO thorough was 1t that
was concluded that they remained in
camp most Of the day. Colonel Guthrie
sees to it that all the movements in the
tactics are carried out to the letter, and
that the company commanders give the
men under them proper instruction.
Company r of Woodland will give an
entertainment in Vallejo tonight. That
company is possessed OF considerable
amateur talent, and no doubt nearly all
the men absent from camp tonight will
be at the entertainment.
Tomorrow evening there will be an
election in camp for Lieutenant-C Colonel
OF the regiment. An election was called
| about two months ago in Sacramento,
but the officers of the regiment were un-
able to chose a Lieutenant COlonel-the
two NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Cursor of Wood
land and Captain ii. L. Seymour of Sac
ramentO, each receiving the same num-
Der OF votes. The two aspirants for the
| mour. 1t is not apparent yet who will be
elected.
There viii be an entertainment in camp
tomorrow night, and 1t Is expected
nearly all OF the population OF Vallejo
Will De in camp.

#
vlded by Lieutenant A. j. Plant Of
DaylsvilIe, Regimental Commissary.
Lieutenant Plant knows what the boys
like best, and they are satisfied with the
food he selects for them.
Lieutenant Maydwell, Regimental
Quartermaster, sees that all the tents are
kept IL proper order, and all the work in
his department. is properly performed.
Our good-looking Regimental Sergeant
Major, Grant Potter of Sacramento, was
placed in a perpleXing predicanent the
other day. He had borrowed Commits
sary-Sergeant Quin's razor TO shave
himself, but after he had lathered his
face to considerable thickness with soap
he concluded he had made mistake III
borrowing GUMS razor. After Sergeant
Potter had made an effort to remove d
few OF the hairs on his face, which the
barber q short time before had over
looked he was amazed at the roughness
OF the raZor's edge aud asked Sergeant
Quin the cause of it. His face WAS COW
cred with soap, and as he emerged from
his tent with the razor in his haF4d his APP
pearance so frightened a couple of young
ladies who thought he had become DAFT
from his endeavorS To make himself the
neateSt man in camp, that one of them
atterward had to be put under the care of
the Surgeon. There is not much eXag-
geration about this report of Sergeant
Potter, and but few in camp witnessed
the incident. 1t was afterward ascer-
tanned that Sergeant Quin had USED the
razor OH his own face before lending it to
Sergeant Potter and had forgotten to
sharpen it.
\ number of the officers will go to
Benicia this evening, and will be guests
of the regular army officers at that place.
The Navy Yard is still a source OF con-
siderable interest to the guardsmen. who
make frequent trips to Mare Island.
The Officer OF the Day is Captain Riley
of Grass Valley, Officers OF the Guard,
Lieutenants Shoemaker OF Sacramento
and Tyler of Auburn.
The Officer of the Day tomorrow will
be Captain O'Grady of Vallejo, Officers
of the Guard, Lieutenants Prindle of
Woodland and Ashburne of Nevada
City.
Governor Budd has informed Colonel
Guthrie of his inability TO visit the camp
on account of his absence up north.
The time to remain is growing short,
and every available opportunity is being
taken advantage of to thoroughly learn
everything about camp life.
Indications point to the attendance of a
large number of spectators at this after
moons dress parade and guard mount.
