The camp consists of four tents, one
for the signal corps. one for the ambu-
lance corps which Is used for q hospi-
tai as well, one for the company and
one for headquarters where their in
structor sleeps. There can not be too
much credit given to Gen" Charles
White for the way he has developed
the military spirit in the boys in the
month they have been together.
There isn't boy in the Cadets who
il he could but what would enlist. to-
day They take this thing seriously
as is shown by the following. When
the Cadets first organized Hon. Her.
bert NJ. Heath, whose son Is the COM
mander Of the signal corps, attempted
to make light of the scheme, his son
looked up and said. Papa, this is Sc
rious business
The ambulance corps is under the
charge of doc" Tuell, son of DR.. ]. E.
Tuell, and he has to make up a daily
report of all cases treated and for
day. The report of the injuries sus-
tanned, yesterday. was copied by one
Of those who attended the dress
parade, last evening, and given to the
Journal. We give it just as it was
made out:

There was,A large number who went
out to the camp to see the dress par
ade, yesterday at Gas. Before the par
ade the signal corps gave an exhibition
of what they can do. Their instructor,
Mr.. White. would take questions from
those in the carriages and send them
to the boys by means of the regulation
signal corps flags. The boys were
would read the question readily and
Immediately send back the answer.
After the parade the ambulance
corps were out and gave an exhibition
Of how they did their work. 1t is
wonderful how scientifically they can
place boy on stretcher and carry
him Off 1t would put to shame some
of the volunteer ambulance corps.
The dress parade was really very
fine the boys going through all the
difficult movements Of the regular
parade like regulars. They kept their
lines straight and obeyed the COM
mands like clock work. The excel
iencc of the way the boys performed
the difficult parts of the drill repeated
" called forth applause from the spec
tators.
n The spectacle as the flag was lower
SedlMas magnificent. The bugler play
Cd .'rhe Star Spangled Banner" as the
nag was lowered and the farmers who
were haying in the surrounding fields
could be seen to stop and watch the
ceremony.
The call which the boys have learn
ed the best is the mess call and as soon
KS that is sounded they can be seen
ssreaking for their food. They all had
god appetites before they went into
camp but the round of military duties
has stimulated. that SO they could eat
even regular rations.
There isn't boy IN the company
ovta Is and when that is taken into
confederation it is really wonderful
aSthey are able to maintain guard
line Aaround the camp all the time.
Wild the guards went out for the
o'cloa. relief, yesterday morning they
found one of the sergeants asleep on
duty tut he was not given any punish
ment 1s he had been out the night be-
fore 4 ebrating.
One little fellow was heard to say
yester " afternoon. as the end of his
half hi hrs guard duty was nearing an
end, 4 med long half hour" He had
a part l,larly sunny beat SO he can
be exc ID for the feeling of wanting
to get by.
The W win arise at 4 o'clock.
this md ling, and break camp at s.
arriving " the city about z. It is
hoped tn they will march up Water
street to| i've the people chance to
see and laud them.
