| General Mabry's headquarters were
visited by many members of the State
Legislature yesterday. The legisla-
tors who are in the city are taking
careful note of all they see at the camp
and it will be valuable to them in flu
ture.
| The hawkers of lemonade, ETC.. in
the grand stand make so much noise
that commands of the officers in the
exhibition and competitive drills can
scarcely be heard
Campaign hats rae greatly in de-
mand in camp just at present.
The Dallas Zouaves have a large pic
ture of the company in uniform which
had been hanging in front of the cap
tain's tent until this morning when it
was taken up to Joske Bros store and
put on exhibition in their Alamo street
window. 1t has the dates Of their va
| rious victories around the group.

tonic Zouaves, treated number of the
boys, the Light representative includ-
ed to repast of pies in Capt. Herman
dez's tent last night.
| Alfred Carlisle is sharing the Lights
tent as sleeping place at night
Mr.. Simon Veith and ladies were en-
tertained with ice cream by the San
Antonio Zouaves last night.
After grand review last night while
the Medley zouaves were putting up an
exhibition drill in front of the grand
stand one of the men became over
heated and dropped out. The COM
pany Immediately went to pieces and
the man was carried off the field where
surgeon attended him in camp and
soon brought him around all right
Messrs. Frank Marsh and Bob"
Hamilton yesterday afternoon very
kindly sent out ten gallons of ice cream
/ " thS ZSOudNC pOyS WHICH WAS
highly relished by them. AS they had
number of lady friends out for sup
per it came in very handy.
| The band contest this morning took
place in front of General Oppenhei-
mer's tent, consequently the general
and staff were supplied with music.
One of the members of The Thurston
Rifles was Frustrated with heat yester-
day afternoon during their drill and
was carried from the field to their
camp where he soon revived. His
name is Shelley. This morning he
seems none the worse from the acct
dent. This and the one from the Nee
lley's were the only prostrations on the
grounds. The state boys withstood
the heat all right. 1t is thought that
the change of climate was the cause of
the prostrations in the visiting COM
panies.
| Forty-two cases were treated in the
hospital yesterday but only two pa
tents were admitted to the tent, all
others being minor cases. DR. Whayne
Third regiment physician, of Brennan.
Texas, is in charge of the hospital tent
today. No cases of Importance were
admitted today.
One of the best musical organizations
in the T. " c., is the fife and drum
corps of Denison, which came down
with the Lyon Sherman infantry and is
in the Sixth infantry Although only
organized for a short time, the men
furnish some excellent music and are
admired and complimented by every
one in camp. The organization is
composed of the following young gen.
tlemen of Sherman: M. WeinsteiR and
Tom Collins, snare drums; VIII Bonner
bass drum; Jim Kelley, Walter Lyon,
and John Kelley, flies. The boys prac-
| tice in camp night and morning and
never fail to attract a large crowd.
Last night they rendered the Light rep
resentative a very pleasant concert
These boys will always be appreciat-
ed in any camp they may desire to en-
ter. They expect to receive their uni
forms in a day or two, after which
| they will go on parade. They had
been only organized such short time
that they were unable to receive their
uniforms before leaving home to at
tend the drill.
The Sixth regiment band of Denison,
gave a concert at headquarters last
night, complimentary to General
| Cooke.
1t is a foregone conclusion that the
camp prize will go to the Sixth infan-
try. 1t is situated on the incest spot
of ground in the camp and the streets
and tent floors are as hard and smooth
as a mesquite block pavement.
The exhibition drill by the Morton
Cadets last evening was one of the
prettiest yet seen in front of the grand
stand The movements were nicely
executed and the company was loud
