 There were fully thousand visitors at camp yesterday, all of whom greatly enjoyed the dress parade, and, in fact, all the dongs of the soldiers. At dress parade in the afternoon the large num- Der of visitors brought chairs and cush- ions and watched the marching of the soldiers from the middle of the grounds The Second and Fourth regiments went on dress parade first, and after they fin- ished the First and Third drilled. The Second made the best appearance of any of the four regiments, all the men wear ing their khaki uniforms. The march, ing was in splendid order, and the diff ferent companies were applauded as they turned into their various streets.
 To-day at 5:15 there will be brigade formation, an event that will doubtless be witnessed by a great crowd. The brigade formation is one of the most impressive of any of the manoeuvres of the soldiers, and is well worth travelling miles to see. Tomorrow at the same time there will be brigade forma tion, and Friday, Governors day, will wit ness the great event of the week. The regular routine was closely followed yesterday there being no changes.

GIFT TO BLACKSTONE LIBRARY.
Cowhide Shoe Donated by New Haven
 Woman.

Woman.
 A very interesting addition to the historical musoum collection of the Blackstone library has been donated by A. B. Barker of Fades street, Branford. It is little shoe of cowhide made in 1769 for a one year old child. It was worn by Joseph Baldwin, who lived in Branford at the old Llewellyn Barker place at Mill Plain a century ago. The curio was given to MT. Barker by his aunt, Miss Nancy M. Mccoy of this city. The Blackstone library collection is not yet large e ough to be exhibited, but there must be many relics in the town which would made an interesting per manent exhibit if hunted up and added to the collection.

B. G. Beckwith For Elector.

To the Editor: l suggest for presi-
Dental elector of the Fourth district, b.
C. Beckwith, Esq, of Raleigh. / do so
because, in my opinion, and also because
it is the opinion of those who heard his
strong arguments and eloquent appeals in
behalf of the Constitutional Amendment
in the late campaign. the Democracy OF
the metropolitan district, could not nomi-
nate a man better fitted in every way to
canvass the district as Bryan elector.
The people of Wake county who heard
him discuss the great issue of the recent
campaign, know that but few men in the
State can make a better vote getting can
vass than B. G. Beckwith.
He desired well of the party. AS sec
rotary of the Democratic State commit
tee, for years he gave both time and
talents to the cause of Democracr. He
has never, believe, been a candidate be-
fore the people for any office. For the
reasons above stated if he wants the
nomination for elector he ought to have
it, We are for him.

RUHLIN BADLY BRUISED UP.
But Wants to Meet Fitz Again. Jefries in
Fighting Mood.
(By the Associated Press. J


New York, August 11.-With his face
bruised and discolored, his right eye al
most closed and his nose fiattened out,
Gus Rubin, walked about his training
quarters at Bay Ridge today wondering
how it all happened. The big Ohio fight
er appeared to be quite weak. In spite
of his appearance Rubin said he felt
all right and in the same breath express
ed a desire for another bout with Fitz-
simmons.
After leaving the Garden Rubin was
taken to a Turkish bath establishment.
While there he became unconscious, due
to loss of blood and the extreme heat.
His condition for a time was critical.
Ruhlin's collapse in the bathing establish
ment gave rise to many sensational ru-
mors. One of these was that Rubin had
died as the result of the injuries sus-
tanned in the battle. Although it is true
that Rubin was very ill for several hours,
his life was near despaired of. He
came around in good shape about o'clock
this morning and left for the home of his
manager, Billy Madden, at Bay Ridge
There he spent the day.
James j.. Jeffries, champion heavy
weight of the world today issued an open
letter in which he SAYS he is anxious
to met Fitz and Tom Sharkey, and give
them another chance for championship belt
before September LIST, and states he pro-
poses to do it. He offers to meet both
FitZ and Sharkey before that day.

(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, August 11-Wm. j. Bryan's
in an understanding that he will travel
almost as much during the present cam
paign as he did in 1896. The first incli-
nation on his part was to avoid the max
ing of many speeches this year, but there
has been such general pressure that it
is understood that he is now inclined to
country. No positive promises for par
ticipation in the campaign have peen
made for other States than New York,
but the probabilities are that he will go
from that State to Maryland where there
appears to be great anxiety for his APP
pearance. After that time he is likely
to make a quite general tour of the North
Mississippi Valley States, including Ohio,
Indiana, Illinois, Minnesota, etc. No au-
thorized statement has been given out to
this effect, but there is no doubt that this
is the present tendency, that indeed the
plan is practically decided upon. In New
York it is expected that Mr.. Bryan will
speak only in the larger cities.
The Silver Republicans originally ex-
pected to notify Mr.. Bryan of their nomi-
nation of him for the Presidency at the
same time that the Populists make their
notifcN"!n ut Topeka, Kansas, August
23rd, but this purpose has been changed.
Their notification will come later and the
probabilities are that it will be made at
St. Paul or Minneapolis.
Hon. T. M. Patterson, of Denver, viii
make the speech notifying. Mr.. Bryan
of the Populst nomination at Topeka.
There will be no notification to a vice
presidential candidate, as in view OF Mr.
Towne's declination the Populists at
present have no candidate for the office.
BRYAN REMAINS IN CHICAGO.
Chicago, August 11.-Mr. Bryan said
today that he will probably remain in
Chicago until after next Wednesday. He
probably will make a brief speech at the
picnic of the Irish societies to be given
on that date.
