Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1900-09-04

The Linsly Institute battalion is
comfortably esconsed in the annual
camp at Folmer's. up Big Wheeling
creek. Although this years enrolment
is about eighty, only fifty students
went into camp. The corps is under
the direct command of ex-Lieut. Dent,
U. S. N. The start was made this
morning at half past ten O'Clock
over the Wheeling & Elm Grove road
by special car to Elm Grove. The re-
manning four miles was covered in
hay wagons.
The boys arrived just at II O'Clock.
The camp, consisting of eight large
tents, already in position, is situated
on gently raising ground overlooking
an excellent parade ground. AS soon
as the companies had been assigned
to quarters and equipments arranged,
the mess call was sounded and the
boys lined up, with their mess kits for
dinner Sentries were posted to guard
the camp during the dinner hour.
A very substantial covered pavilion
has been converted into mess tent,
with more than ample seating capac-
ity for all the boys. The kitchen is a
revelation in it's line. 1t is as ex-
cellent and convenient an arrangement
of the kind as was ever devised for a
camp, and "Hezekiah Lucer," who
has presided in culinary departments
of camping expeditions ever since the
civil war, is the authority for this
statement.
'fHezi" and his corps OF assistants
were ready and waiting for the battal-
ion when it arrived for dinner and
the seating capacity of the pavilion
was only exceeded by the quantity and
quality of the good substantial fare
under the weight of which the mess
tables fairly groaned. Boys. as a gen.
eral rule, are hungry at every other
time. except perhaps at the end OF a
seventeen course dinner. The ride in
the clear, bracing country air had its
effect. and the way they cut into the
feed" was a caution. "Hezi, all
smiles. felt repaid for his efforts.
unfortunately, shortly after dinner
it began to rain and continued until
nearly four o'clock so that swimming
detail and target practice had to DE
abandoned. Recruit drill was taken
I'D at four o'clock. The large tents
turned the water very nicely, and the
boys keeping in their tents were per-
fectly dry.
The regular routine, published here
tofore. will be followed out, commenc-
ing with to-day. One of the new fea-
lures this year is a new flag pole, Sixty
feet high, which was placed In position
early yesterday. 1t stands directly IN
the center of the parade grounds, and
flies a handsome new flag, which Is
raised at reveille and dipped at sun
down every morning and evening
Everything is perfect at the camp
and there is every assurance that the
bows will have a good time. All during
this week Prof Drills, of the faculty
will be at the Institute building, morn
ing and afternoon, for the purpose OF
enrolling students.
