The Chatham Artillery will carry up

ker and j. Il. Saussy viii be in command
of the company Capt Wheaton will join
the company in camp in day or two
and take command. Capt. Wheaton, res
| ignatiCn, which was announced some tire
ago, does not take effect until next month.
The Chathams are in good shape for
camp. They have taken in a number or
| young recruits lately, and are in better
| condition in every way than they hare
| been for several years.
The company has taken on new lease
| Of life and the effect Of the new blood is
| already noticeable. The majority Of the
| men who viii go up with the Chathams
| this year are new recruits. a very mark
ed Improvement has been made in the
! quarters. Lockers have been put in for
| the men, the company room has been fit
| ted up, some club features have been
| added and altogether the Chathams are
| as comfortably situated as they could ask.
As usual, tho Chathams have been troat-
! ed with neglect by the adjutant generals
| Ut Lilcul- Inc QlQGI TO 10 10 camp WAS
| let received until last week, when many
| of the members lad gone off on vacations
| or had made other arrangements, which
| prevented them from going TO camp with
| the company. The order failed to state
| whether any guns should be taken and
| to designate such suns as is always the
! case in orders issued to an artillery COM
] pany. letter was addressed to the adj
/ 5utant general a week ago, asking for
! orders as TO carrying their guns into
/ camp, but no reply has been received up
/ to date.
! Consequently the Chathams will go into
| camp gunless, so to speak. The men will be
| armed with sabres, which, by the way, are
| the property Of the company and not Of the
state. The Galatians feel that their eff
! forts at regeneration are deserving of rec
! ogntion and some inquiry will probably be
made on their arrival at camp as to why
no reply to their request for information
/ as TO orders was given them.
| The commands departing for camp viii
! be escorted to the depot by the commands
| remaining in the city; that is the Guards
/ and Hussars will escort the regiment and
! Chathams. At present the arrangement is
as follows: The Hussars viii march from
| their armory to that OF the Chatham Ar
| tillery, while the Guards will march from
| their armOry to that of the First regiment,
| and the movements will be timed so that
/ the two commands with their escorts will
| meet at Bull and Liberty streets and pro-
! coed together to the depot. 1t is not Ger
! tain yet, however. if the Chathams will
! leave on the regular or the special train
! If on a different train from the regiment,
! the programme will be changed accord
! ingly.
The commissory supplies were purchased
! from A. NJ & c. W. West who were the
! lowest bidders The amount was some
/ thing over S4C0.
