yassed grounds of Niantio in 8 heavy rain storm, and many a recruit wished he was back in Waterbury. The rain was replaced by clear sky, and now we are enjoying what promises to be an ideal camp week. All the boys in both local companies are we'll. Only the usual slight illness which prevails onevery first day IS noticeable in one or two.
 No drilling was done until after dinner. Relative to the dinner we can assure the Messrs Hicks Brothers that if they dupG- cate the first meal of yesterday they will re- ceive the warm endorsement of every soldier in the regiment. It was certainly good meal.
 Guard mount, which has been changed this year from, morning until afternoon. was the first and as usual the prettiest drill executed. Go G was represented in the guard detail by Corporal Barry and Crean; Go A by Corporal Sackett, Privates Riggs. Miller, Henderson and Reichenbach. On the siege gun is Private McEvoy of Go G and Private Horan of Go A.
 A change has also been made in the pro- vost detail this year. Usually two privstes were detailed from each company, but only one from each will act this year. From Go G is Private Hanlon and from Go A Private Morrison. Go is also repre- scented on the provost by Lieutenant H. B. Carter, who is in command. and Sergeant c H. Humphrey.
 The dress parade of the Second regi- ment has been changed from to 4:30 o'clock. At that parade yesterday an oppor- tunity was had to observe Colonel Lucien F. Burpee and staff. and right we'll did they stand that observation. They are as | fine lot of officers as ever rode horses. Resplendent in new uniforms and trap pings they presented an impressive appear ance.
 A new order issued to-day was that the | officers should wear no bronze scabbards, | but the usual scabbard of nickel. The campaign hats have already proved their good service in protecting the men from the sun. The hats. however, are to be worn only in the morning and at grand mount in the afternoon. White gloves and fatigue caps will be worn in all dress psrades. l Captain Wolff has made up his mind to nave no shirking and has begun his usual custom of calling the roll at the end of | each drill and absentees will be minus a days pay.
 The officer of the day to-day was Cap. tain D. l. Barber of Go K officer of guard. Lieutenant Kapitzke. Go D; supernumerary l officer, Lieutenant Halpin, Go G. The de. tail from Go G consists of Sergeant Dona hue, Privates Johnson. Griffin, Hogan Hanley and Hollywood. Go A, PrivateE Black, Smith, Terrell, Waters and Lecour
 At inspection this morning Go G received a marking of one hundred for inspection of tents and ninety-eight for police inspec ton. to was marked one hundred fol both.
