Hearty Reception the Vet
eran of the Old First Mime
sofa Regiment

$500
July 20.-Today was a relief from the
excessive heat of yesterday, as a strong,
cool wind from the east was blowing,
making it pleasant for drill. Last even
ing the First regiment mounted guard
for the first time during the encamp-
ment, and the ceremony, with the ex-
ception of a few minor details, was well
executed. This morning at guard
mount it could be noticed that there
was an effort to do still better, and the
effort was successful, as very few err
rors could be noticed. At the guard
mount of the regulars, held in front of
the camp of the First regiment, a great
number of the latter regiment were out
to take pointers. The First regiment
had battalion drill this morning while
the regulars were drilling in company
drill and extended order, and the pa
rade ground was covered with the
moving forms of both regulars and
members of the national guard. 1t was
a lively scene. At the same time the
sharp crack of the rifles on the range
showed that the First was working
hard to make a record.

vas and putting a stop to the shooting
n drill, but not dampening the spir-
its of the men in the least, as a soldier
is always equal to every emergency, let
it rain or shine. 1t continued raining
all afternoon, and the camp of the
First regiment was in places like a
lake, n no one was able to move
around without getting wet feet. At
3 p. m. it cleared off, and there is pros
pect of finer weather
Second Lieut.. Jens Bugge, Third in
fantry, was relieved from duty at camp
To-Day, to enable him to go to West
Point, N. Y, as instructor at the Mill
tary academy. Sergeant Hickman,
Company H, Third infantry, and three
privates of the regiment, left camp to
go to the hospital for treatment. The
regimental team shoot, for the regi-
mental trophy, will take place Thurs
day. Company 1 won the trophy last
year, and is going to make a hard
struggle to retain it. First Sergeant
Charles Josten, Company c, Third regi-
ment, M. N. G., Duluth, was a visitor in
camp today, observing the movements
OF the First regiment.
In the regulars camp, Capt. Wilkin-
son is officer of the day. Second Lieut..
George E. Houle, Third infantry, officer
of the guard; Private F. E. Andrews,
Company G, First regiment, orderly for
the colonel today. Capt. LOOMS, of
the Flambeau club, is visiting the camp
Of the First.
In the camp Of the national guard,
officer of the day, tonight, Capt. Robe
'deau; officer Of the guard, Lieut.. Bjorn-
stadt; junior officer Of the guard, Lieut..
Robertson.
Co. Colville, of the old First Mime
= CT H.
ing and paid his respects to Col. Reeve,
n also Col Page, Who was present.
The regiment cheered the dc colonel
very heartily, and he responded in a few
words very fitting to the occasion.
In spite of the wet nature of the
ground both regulars n militia turn
ed out for parade, the First regiment
facing as usual to observe the move
ments of the regulars, before marching
on parade themselves. It is astonishing
what one day will do, and o. readily
men will learn what is required of hen
Altogether the First regiment has n
cause. to be ashamed of it's parade
this evening. After parade, guard
mount was held and there was a slight
Improvement over the one this morning.
Details took their positions more quick
ly, and the arrangement of the ranks
of the guard was better, the non-com-
missioned officers seemed to know bet
ter what was required of them. and
more vim and snap was displayed.
The First regiment began shooting at
the range today, but were driven off
by the rain about Don The following
scores were made at the 20O-yard
range:
