Denver, ColJ, Aug. 2S.-Ever since |
came to Denver | have Intended visiting
the Thirty fourth regiment OF yoluntt ers,
stationed ut Fort Logan, In which the
people Of New Mexico and especially
Albuquefque, feel q great interest, but
did not do 30 until yesterday afternoon
which was my last opportunity ~ the
boys expect to leave this afternoon for
san traLcisco. Yesterday WAS visitors
Gay. and thousands OF people from the
city visited the camps and were shown
oil the courtesies possible IN u soldiers
camp.
From $3.50 till the supper call at $50,
we, (my better half being with mel visit.
ed with the boys from Albuquerque, who
have been assigned 10 various companies.
They all seemed very much contented
aud were jubilant over the prospect OF
soon being on the move. Theirs was u
decided lack OF Kicking witch speaks
we'll for the officers who nave the welfare
Of the men In their keeping.
Company n, commanded by Captain
". II. Dame, OF Cerrillos, seems TO be the
crack company OF the regiment. both IN
rifle practice and drill. This company
contains more veterans and printers than
any other company in the regiment,
which probably accounts for their envi-
able reputation.
Among the Albuquerque boys whom
we visited and shook hands with, were
". G. stmpaon, Chas. Braucht. Harry
Myers. Waiter Galbrsith, 0,to Glessner,
Arthur Perry, Company h; Coral Roberts,
II. A. Barrett. A. X Wildes. j. NJ. Lane.

sell, Company II. The boys are all the
picture OF health. and soldier life seems
10 agree with Them. Also met Hye Al
bers, who WAS discharged Saturday from
the service for disability. the result Of
the wound he received In Cuba, while
serving with the Rough Riders. ii. I'm.
lset has also been discharged, but |
could not find out the cause. The BOYS
all wished to be remembered kindly TO
their friends In the Duke city.
Simpson WAS found hard at work In
the sergeant's tent. doing clerical work
Through the kindness Of Sergeant Moore
OF company G, we partook of the supper
furnished the boys. While there WAS
not a great variety everything was clean
and wholesome. Company n seems also
TO have the reputation Of being the best
fed company In the regiment, and upon
inquirinR the reason, found that the
cooks deserved the greater part OF the
credit, for they knew how TO prepare the
rati0as issued them.
We called upon Captain Dame, and he
said that he believed that the regiment
would probably be on the transports by
the 10th or 10Th OF September. "a soldier
wants to be on the move" he said, "and
everybody will be glad TO get away to.
morrow" He sends his compliments TO
the editors Of The CITIZEN and his other
friends In Albuquerque.
Al $50 the bugles sounded the call for
dress parade, and the companies ''as
sembled' Ia the company streets, and to
the strains Of martial music, by the
regimental band, the three battalions,
numbering over 1900 men, swung into
line on the parade grounds, aud came to
a halt before Colonel Ksnnon. After
some marching maneuvers by the band.
the regiment waa drilled In the manual

the colonel In q strong. resonant voice,
which was clearly audible across the
large parade grounds. p arching orders
we're given. and IN the men marched
around the grounds, cheer after cheer
went up from the immense crowd which
had c0ngregated to witness this last
dress parade. Az the company which
carried the regiments. col0rs passed, the
crowd went wild with enthusiasm. This
regiment IL certainly a fine u body OF
men a. you could wish to SOC, and II Is to
be hoped they will prove themselves the
crack regiment OF the army. and come
home with sFsas honors and flying
