Correspondence )At the campfire" la st
evening Major Prescott presided and
introduced Gen. c. f. A. Last, commad-
ing officer Of the First brigade, N. G. c.,
who, in the course of his remarks, said
that he was very much pleased with the
way in which the officers and men had
entered into the spirit of the drills and
the alacrity with which they had obeyed
all the officers and their orders. He also
stated that the town marshal Of Santa
Morica had requested him to say to the
men that in all his experience he had
never seen more orderly set of men and
that they conducted themselves as per-
feet gentlemen during the time that
they were off duty and down at Santa
Monica; ard, further, that it was the
quietest camp he had ever seen.
Gen. Last said also that he had great
hopes there would be another brigade
encampmert next year, instead of three
years hence. He was working hard thai
it might be brought about, and he also
stated that he was trying to arrange for
the purchase of the grounds on which
the camp has been held, in order that
permanent quarters might be erected,
that the men could have better accom-
modations than are possible now, when
a large part of the time is taken up in

thanked the men and officers for the
time and labor which they had most
generously given to the unraveling Of
the military problems that have been
given at the daily drills. He concurre q
with Gen. Last that there had never
been an encampment where so much
time had been spent in long hard drills,
and where so little rougkCess had crop
ped out
There was no battalion or regimental
