as officers OF the guard. J. II. Grady was
selected as orderly.
The Greens and Oglethorpes were on the
rife range to-day. Sergt. Mccarthy and
Sergt. Corish and Private Foye of the
Greens qualified for the 600 yard range
The Oglethorpes did exceptionally good
shooting, considering the fact that they
have in their company a number of COM
paratively new men. which is also the
case with the Greens.
Most of the field and stan officers were
on the range to-day. and made excellent
scores, especially Adjt. OByrne and Sur
geon farrell. The inspector of rifle prac-
tice. Capt Nichols. has been busy on the
range, instructing the boys in target work.
1t is needless to say they derived great
benefit from his instructions.
After dress parade this afternoon, which
was as usual a pretty sight to witness,
Lieut.. Col. Reilly, the regimental COM
mander. put the regiment through some
evolutions in the presence Of large gath
ering Of spectators.
There will be inspection in heavy march
ing order of the regiment tomorrow MORN
ing by Lieut.. Brown.
The Greens will have mass in the COM
pany's mess hall tomorrow by Rev.

A large crowd is expected in camp from

there will be many others here to wit
ness the last dress parade this year. There
Is comparatively no illness in camp. The
regiment breaks camp for home Mon

dry. IS; Private J. NJ. Johnson, sc; Pri-

The kells shooting on the range was
remarkably good, considering that it was
their first trial The Kells were assigned
20 guard duty Sunday. but that order has
been countermanded and it is not likely
they will do guard duty this tour. They

ceived many compliments on their general
appearance and behavior. The Kells have
the largest average sized men in camp,
averaging over 100 pounds. Those who
qualified for sharp shooting are Privates

Lee Moore and ]. B. Harris.
The German Volunteers have advanced
eight men to the 500 yard range. Sergt
Helmken made the best score and has a
chance to become a marksman. The Vol
unteers have worked hard the last two
days, both on the range and on guard.
The first squad of the Oglethorpe Light
Infantry has no man in it under six feet
The Oglethorpes have the best quartette
in camp, of which Corporal Pelot and
Sergt. Stevens are leaders. Private Con-
nor was the first man on the sick list and
the sergeant thought he was playing off
and returned him TO duty. Corporal Mar
melstein had the last relief. He was re-
lieved by Corporal Gaudry Of the Cadets.
The Oglethorpes pride themselves on be-
ing the only company in camp having their
full corps of non-cOmmissioned officers and
they have been congratulated upon their
sentinels being so we'll posted, and the reg
ularity with which the reliefs were march
ed by the corporals evidenced close study
of the manual of arms.
Privates Kent, Heller, Marmelstein, Nc
Dowell and Common comprise the might
bird lodge" Privates Bourquin and Oliver
are the largest eaters in camp, and some
difficulty is experienced by the commits
sary in furnishing them eatables T. d.
Rockwell, ESQ.,. Chatham's representative,
paid the Oglethorpes a pleasant visit FRI
day. Private Mcdowell is very sore over
his defeat for orderly Wednesday. At a
previous encampment he was selected or
derby to the colonel by two United States
officers.
Lieut.. Col. Reilly is a gentleman of great
executive ability and exceedingly popular
in camp, and Lieut.. J. r. Saussy is another
tavorite with the boys.
