most exciting incident, but fortunately
nobody was hurt.
All the time the battery drill was IL
progress the frequent discharge o.
bombs high In air where they burs
with a sharp report added to the excite
ment of the occasion. The heavy bat
terry was succeeded in its drill by bat
terry A of Guilford which went through
similar maneuvres.
The last event of interest before sup
per was the dress parade of the -four
regiments. All appeared in white duck
| trousers and blue coats and Went
| through sundry evolutions at the COM
mand of their officers, while the band
played it's liveliest music. With visions
of hops before their eyes the soldiers
returned to their tents and invited their
lady friends to "mess" with them, an
invitation that was accepted with alac-
rity In most cases. In honor of the
presence of the fair visitors the cooks,
who are really privates themselves but
who accept a cookship in order to escape
cios, and the soldiers and their
friends Jared most sumptuously. But
ter was actually served with the bread
and corn.
After supper the soldiers were left to
their own devices until $3.50, when tat
too and roll call was sounded, and right
well did they fill in the time, Not far
from the camp grounds was spiritual
list camp and it was surprising what
large number of guardsmen acted as
escorts to young ladies who had never
seen spiritualists before and were
anxious to have peep at them. In al
most every company street were enter
tainmentS of some kind and many of
the companies acted as hosts to visiting
companies. At the quarters Of Acting
Sergeant Landy and Drum Major
Parks a large number of visitors We're
entertained, while the Hillyer Guard
of Hartford entertained a large number
of the Sarsfeld Guard Most OF the
visitors from this city returned on the
special train which left Mantle at $3.50;
and in spite of the guards who were
posted 1t was noticed that the militia
ment We're present at the station in
large numbers.
