The Arrival in Camp.

The same formation was kept all

parade ground was reached. Here the
batteries came to the front and with

AS the boys came over the crest OF
the hill strong breeze met them and
many signs OF relief were heard. The
breeze was invigorating and IT'S bene-

The men said: IF only we could have

There was not any profanity heard
while the men We're standing around
on the street waiting to be marched to
camp, and some of the men had plen-
ty of provocation for it for they were
weak and the heavy roll and equip

TO THE KLoND1KE BY SLED.

A Steam Sleigh Just Completed by
 Bridgeport Firm.
 The Coulter & Mckenzie Machine Co, of Bridgeport, are the builders of a huge steam sleigh in which the Con- necticut and Alaska Mining and Trad ing association will be drawn over sev- eral hundred miles of frozen river in their proposed trip to the gold fields of Alaska The above concern will be the first ones to ever transport boiler and engine into Alaska. The steam sleigh has been named "The Klondike' and the builders of the mechanical portion expect to receive orders for a. number of them. The machine is attracting much attention and the firm has won distinction by filling such remarkable order.
 It is the plan of the purchasers to make trips between Seattle and the Klondike regions in the monster steam sleigh. The cost of the sleigh will be two thousand dollars. The wood work is being done by William H. Hoyt, of Norwalk. The sleigh is an ice and snow locomotive, built in the strongest man. ner possible and with the idea of carry ing utensils, machinery and stores to- gether with the passengers and the bag gage. The huge driving wheels with spikes for ice and paddles for snow. are the means of locomotion, the force be- ing given them by a fifteen foot link chain, propelled by twelve horse pow CT engine with fourtenn horse upright boiler. A thirty inch rip saw and a twenty inch cross cut saw to use on the engine for cutting fuel includes the equipment.
 An incandescent dynamo with power to produce ten lights with sixteen candle power each will be another fea- ture of this wonderful piece of mechan- ism. The sled will have an aluminium roof to put on when the journey is com- menced The whole affair is expected to weigh about two and half tons with capacity of at least five miles an hour. The bottom of the sleigh is twenty inch es from the surface of the ice and snow. rectangular in shape and is sixteen feet long by seven and a half feet wide. The platform will rest on two "bobs" eight and six feet respectively in length. The steering apparatus is a wheel much similar to that on boat. The engine occupies the rear half of the sled and the chances for the party feel ing cold are not very probable. Around the sides of the platform is a six inch plank and the aluminium house seven 1 feet high goes inside of this. Aluminium | Is used wherever it can be substituted l for wood. This, of course, saves consid- era ble in the weight of the sled. Frank Hoyt, of Norwalk, is the man selected | to act as engineer of the sled, and the party leaves in the course of the next | two months. The majority of the mem l bers of the party are residents of New York, Stamford and Norwalk.
 An important feature of the steam sled is the fact that 1t can be utilized as a power plant when their destination is reached, It can also be used aboard a l boat for an ordinary engine and It's ca | pacity for chopping wood is remarkable. | The plan bids fair to be a most suc- cessful one and the trip of the party will be watched with much interest by | a great many persons.-B1idgepor Post
