Inspection Last Evening and Social
 Time
 Nathan Hale camp, No. 1, was in- spected last evening by H. S. Pardieu of Meriden. By change in the rules and regulations of the order the stand ing of the camp could not be learned, but probably it will rank second class.
 There were visiting brothers from Meriden, camp T. Captain G. A. Good rich, 25 men; camp F, Wallingford, Captain Leon s. Hall, drove down in barge with IS men; camp Il, Bridge port, Captain Halebrook, 27 men; camp 20 of Ansonia, Captain F. N. Barr, 30 men, and camp 26, Derby, IS men. Cap tain George F. Cox of Hartford made a grand good speech and gave the camp good encourag cement. General William H. Pierpont's spech was one that had a sense of feeling that the camp and vis- iting brothers will not soon forget.
 Commodore Miller of Admiral Foote post gave the camp an address, also speeches were made by Captain Hall of ,Wallingford, Captain Goodrich of Mer- tden, Captain Burr of Ansonia, Captain Halsey of Derby, Captain Halebrook of Bridgeport.
 After the speaking a grand spread was served by the Nathan Hale camp social committe.

There have been many returns of the day since that time, on each of which the undersigned has served as one of the donation day.
