The weather was fine yesterday, and several thousand persons went to East Lake to see the soldier boys. In the dense throng that surrounded the parade grounds in the afternoon were several hundred girls and women, probably half the crowd being of that sex.
 The cars to and from East Lake all dur- ing the afternoon were crowded, and about o'clock when all seemed to want to re- turn to the city at the same time the Bf- mingham Railway and Electric Company was heavily taxed to handle them
 The first day in camp was a pleasant one for the guardsmen, and they seemed 10 like it very much. There were no regular drills and the regular calls for the day were dispensed with in so far as the pohc- ing of the camp and military regulations would permit. Dress parade was held at 6:30 o'clock in the afternoon and was wlt- messed by perhaps four or five thousand persons. Colonel Smith commanded the regiment and the battalion commanders were Majors Huey and Mcconnell and Captain Ledbetter.
 At o'clock in the afternoon religious services were conducted in camp by Cap tain John G. Murray, chaplain His ser mon was directed to the soldiers, and dur ing it's delivery he admonished them to ever be ready to respond to the call of their country, to be true and loyal soldiers. The services were attended by the regiment in company formation.
