where else,> and an evening In camp,
especially such an evening as any of the
last three have been, is memorable
event. There Is O beautiful spectacular
effect to be got from. group Of 400 white
tents, fianked by heavy woodland, under
the light of full moon that can't be got
in any other way, not even In a war
drama. And add to that, the glimpse of
Wexford and Narragansett bays In the
distance, the music of the two concerts,
far enough apart, so as not to be confus-
ing, the sinigng of the men "down the
of the sentinels barely discernible across
the big parade ground, and you get an
idea OF one OF the combination features of
camp that could not come under the head
of fun or duty. And last night there was
a touch OF solemnity added to the whole
effect, for down in the camp of Battery A
of the Light Artillery, a private was sup
posed to be dying. He had severe attack
of heart trouble, and all the medical as
sistance of the entire camp was taken
advantage of, and the surgeon OF the
battalion spent most of the night i'm the
sick mans tent. 1t was the quietest
night ever known In the Battery street.
Today the man Is better, and his first re-
quest was that the reporters In camp be
asked not to put his name In the paper,
for his folk would worry.
MAJOR TANNERS MEN GOT THE DECISION.

and Second Battalions OF the First Regi-

men had been too cautious. The discipline
throughout was perfect, and would have
been creditable TO the regulars.
The discussion then became very general
and many questions on the different
technical points OF advance guard for
nation and action were asked and
answered
That ended the official portion of the
First Regiments new enterprise, but there
was an after part last night that put the
whole camp in an uproar OF laughter. In
the afternoon meeting Corporal Card of
Company ID, claimed that Major Easter
brooks himself should have been ruled
out OF action because be had three good
shots at him and he wore a marksman's
badge This little speech got outside
among the men OF the First Battalion and
In the evening they acted accordingly
Major Easterbrooks was laid In effigy
upon fower-strewn bier and borne by
four bearers around the camp with all
the privates acting as funeral escort,
and the drummers playing the dead
march. The weepcrs were Privates Nc
Pherson, Weaver, Gray, Taudvin and
Murry The silent salute over the re-
mains was fired by Sergeants Williams
and Blaisdell and Corporals Berry, Wood,
Doyce and Auty. Corporal Potter and
Private Eddy were the grave diggers.
After the wailing and the weeping that
could be heard way over at headquarters,
and the march, the remains were laid in
state in Captain Pierce's tent and the
dead major came out in the flesh and
showed his appreciation Of the joke In q
good natured little speech.
The review by General Kendall yester-
day afternoon offered the first opportunity
to see the entire brigade acting in con-
cert, and 1t was a splendid spectacle.
Captain Rittman Of the Signal Corps said
that he never saw better marching than
was shown by all the command In the
parade past the General and his staff.
Lieutenant Woolley yesterday inspected
the two troops of cavalry and Battery A,
and said that they deserved nothing but

NO RACE TO-DAY.
4 Few Things to Be Cared
for on Defender.

BRISTOL, II. l., July 12.-Captain Hank
Haff of the Defender this forenoon stated
TO the press representatives of The Assoc
ciated Press that the racer would not 60
out for a spin with the vigilant today, as
was intended, as she would probably not
make another trial until she sailed for
New York next week. The reason for
this change In plans was, he said, because
the sail yesterday developed several little
things about the boats work which he
is not satisfied with, and he desired to
remedy these slight defects before the
boat was tried again. The general fixing
up, as Captain HsfY calls it, win probably
take about four days, and according 70
the new arrangements there will not be
any more trial spins between Defender
and Vigilant, as the former win go 70 Now
York as soon as the work on her 10 nm
ished. The changes TO be made on the
Defender are of only minor Importance,
and no great importance is attached to
them. tt
The vigilant left here this morning for
a sail and will in all probability go as far
as Newport. s..t,ES

DEMURRER SUSTAINED.
Important Decree In Coventry and
Warwick Water Works Case.

This morning there was final decree en-
tered in the appellate division of tho Supreme
Court that has important bearing in the long
drawn-out fight in regard to the ownership of
the Coventry and Warwick water works That

The court says In substance: "That the com
planant is not entitled TO maintain his bill
against the stockholders of the Warwick 81

their statutory liability as for contribution
on tho ground that they have not paid in full
their subscriptions to the capital stock until
no has first exhausted his remedy against
the company by obtaining a Judgment at
law against IL and having the execution on
primary liability of the stockholders being
secondary. And as much as ID does not APP
pear from the complainants' bill of complaint
ner the demurrer of tho respondents is sus-
tained."
