 SIGNAL CORPS.
 The fourth section of the brigade sig nal corps, commanded by Lieutenant Cogill, was yesterday detailed to New London to establish signal station on the tower of the Croker House in that place, The section signaled to camp by means of the heliograph sys- tenn through an intermediate station on Durfee Hill, which was under com mand of Lieutenant Jenkins. Another station of the signal corps was at bri- gade headquarters, where the signals from New London were received. This station was in charge of Lieutenant Beach. General Haven sent dis patch to New London by this means, and various signals were dispatched, the men reading all of them with ease, The second section of the signal corps, consisting of New Haven men, were yesterday assigned to guard duty around headquarters.
 AT GUARD MOUNT
 At 1;SO there was the regular guard mount, and as the squads of detail marched out from the various company streets, very pretty sight was pre- sented, The Second Regiment band attracted especial attention by their easy movements. Around the field was gathered a larger concourse of sight seers than usual, and at the west end of the field was a particularly large group of ladies, who seemed much in- terested in these scenes of mimic war fare. Soon after guard mount the artillery drill was held and several maneuvres with the Gatling guns were gone through with,al being done neat ly, and with dispatch.
 Among those on the governors stand watching the drills were: Mrs, Miller, wife of Colonel Watson J. Miller, presi- dent of the Derby Silver company; Mrs. Disbrow of Bridgeport, Mrs. Henry S. Peck of New Haven, and Miss Munson of Seymour, Miss Landers daughter of Colonel Landers. The ladies all seem- / ed to enjoy immensely the military spectacle.
 WAS A GIFT FROM PHIL SHERIDAN
 In General Havens headquarters tent is flag which belonged to General Phil Sheridan and which was presented to the Veteran Cavalry association some years ago. It has on the staff a silver plate inscribed with the date of pre- sentation.
 Ex-Commissary General William Jameson of Middletown was also visit ing camp and in the afternoon visited the quarters of his successor, General Peck. He thinks the new system of in- spection in the commissary department is a valuable departure.
