SECOND BRIGADE a NJ
Every Man Expected to BE Present

TRENTON, July i. 1S96.-There is great
activity in the Second Brigade, National
Guard, just now, as the officers and men
are making preparations for the week
encampment at Sea Grit which begins

General Sewell, commandment the Sec
ond Brigade, has issued orders calling

ments of the brigade to turn out every
mar capable Of performing the duty for
which he enlisted, and to excuse no one,
be he officer or enlisted man, for any
cause except physical inability to do the
duty OF a soldier. Coupled with this or
der comes the information that General
W. J. seweil expects every colonel to
have his regiment thoroughly posted on
guard mount, in which the United States
Government has been instructing the
New Jersey National Guard for the past
TWO years, and also that the strictest
military discipline viii be enforced at the
coming e-ncampment.
In addition to General Seweirs ar
nounced determination to strictly enforce
discipline at the coming ncampment
comes the order of Governor Griggs, as
coIalnander-in-chief, to Lieutenant Mel

Us. A., who has been on detached duty
IN New Jersey sfor two years ~instructing
the guardsmen. The Co~mmander-in-
Chief orders Lieutenant Rowell to in
spect the work of each Of the regiments
OF the brigade, and to report upon their
elflciency to the State Military Board.
The army officer will also make report on
the New Jersey Guard TO the War De-
partment this year. For these reasons
the guardsmen of the brigade are work
ing under heavy drilling orders just now.
In fact, some companies are assembled
in Their armories nightly and put through
the ceremony of mounting guard accord
ing to army tactics.

EMPIRE CLUBS OUTING.

The outing to Bergen Point by the

ing Club last Tuesday night, proved such
a success that the boys decided to hold
an outing every Tuesday night during the
summer months instead of bowling. They
will again visit the Point tonight. Doc"
Ludloe has secured a tandem, and he and
Chic LANCE will set the pace; but ii is
a question if they will not have to exert
themselves to keep UP with Eddie,
bike, and will not push Docs" thirty-iive
pound ice cart any more.
The boys say that they are going to try
and make better time tonight in reaching
the Point, SO that hey can have more
time to enjoy the funny stories which the
funny member of the club are famous for
telling.
