The work of muster began, literally
speaking, today; for the men were net
under pay Saturday night and Sunday
but came into camp of their own free
will. The time from Saturday till today
has by no means been misspent, and will
tend to make the soldiers more proficient
in their various lines of work The only
thing on the morning programme, that
was held, was the guard mount which
took place at Z. As o'clock.
Lieutenant Colonel F. Fl. Storah of the
LIST Regiment, was field officer of the day,
Monday. The other officers were: 1st
Regiment: officer of the day, Capt. NJ p
Stiles, Company ID, Norway; officer OF
the guard, Lieut., Collins, Company b,
Portland; supernumerary officer of tht
guard, Lieut.. r.. p. Shelvey, Company
e Portland; I'd Regiment: officer of the
day, Capt. Albert T. Shurtletf, Company
Fl, Waterville; officer of the guard Lieut..
S. p. Bumpus, Company d, Lewiston;
supernumerary officer of the guard, Lieut.
W. A. Martin, Company L, Houlton.
Lieutenant Geo. A. Anthoine, inspector
of rifle practice CT the 1st Regiment, en-
tered a protest against allowing the prize
offered for the best score in the regimental
team match, which was shot at Bruins
wick, Saturday The claim was that
Lieut. d. Lowell Adams of the I'd Regi
ment team, changed his style after shoot
ing at 200 and 500 yards, which is
against the rules.
Colonel K. C.. Harrington, inspector
general of rifle practice, gave hearing
at his headquarters at II O'Clock, this
taking the testimony of Lieut.
Adams and others. 1t appeared that the
lieutenant discovered that the rear sight
was thrown out Of place, which rendered
1t unfit for shooting and for that reason
took another rifle. The rifle was sub.
mitted and Lieut.. Adams sworn state
ment taken that 1t was in the same con.
dillon as when lac discovered the injury.
Colonel Harrington decided that he saw
no evidence of intentional violation Of
the rule, and as he would have allowed
the man to change his rifle, had the ques
lion been submitted at the time, refused
to give the prize to the 1st Regimental
faurp IN thic accnnnt
At the morning report, Monday, the
strength of the militia was found to be |
IS follows:
1st Regiment, Col. L. b. Kendall, 511 |
I'd Regiment, Col G. A. Philbrook, 594
ambulance corps. Capt. Warren f. Riker,
10; signal corps, Lieut.. 6. W. Butler, II
otal, 1902.
Additions were made to the ranks, to-
lay, but as they did not arrive until after
he morning report. the exact total num-
,er in camp cannot now be ascertained.
The members of the Brunswick company
arrived, this morning Everything is
moving along serenely and, tomorrow, II
he weather is only fair, rapid progress
