The regiment broke camp at Midlletown
Del, at 7.30 O'clock this morning and i'm

all Wilmington was disappointed. Colo.

wrote to Senator Gray that the troops
would not be able to parade in Whining.
ton. The reason for this Is that the colo
MOI was informed by the War Department
that tho troops would be taken by way OF
Wilmington without additional cost on
condition that the regiment was in the cars
OF 7.30 q. m. that not more than two hours
should DO spent in Wilmington and var.
ious other conditions which it was fcareo
would be impossible to comply with.
The rain which carried the regiment
was run in two sections Of IL passenger
cars each aud sufficient freight cars to
carry the camp paruphernalia. The men
were in heavy marching order and carried
three days rations.
