 Notes of Camp Life
WAS DETAINED IN MOBILE

General Louis V. Clark did not review the Third Regiment yesterday afternoon. He was in Mobile and telegraphed from there that it would be impossible for him to reach Birmingham in time to hold the review yesterday He will probably be pres ent this afternoon and participate in the review by the Governor.
 Governor Johnston will review the sol diers at 5:3O o'clock this afternoon. It is probable that d very large number of vis- itors will witness the ceremonies, and sev- eral parties have been made up among the young people of Birmingham, to be present. It is announced that a dance will be given to the visitors after supper Memoli's band, which is engaged for the week by the regi- ment, will furnish the music
 The parade was held earlier yesterday afternoon than usual and on that account a great many of the visitors missed it. A light shower of rain fell between 1 and o'clock which cooled the atmosphere con- siderably, and made it pleasanter for both the soldiers and the spectators.
 Todays Detail
 The officer of the day today will be Cap tain Bankhead of Company NJ: officer of the guard, Lieutenant Yeatman of Company G; junior officer of the guard. Lieutenant Evans of Company A.
 Quite little fun was had at the expense of Lieutenant Lucien Brown yesterday af- ternoon. During the parade he was act ing battalion adiutant, and the horse on which he was mounted baked every time the band played. Lieutenant Brown did everything in his power to make the animal t, hnr t,a in, ei6 but he would not budge an inch When the ceremonies had about concluded and the horse was still standing where he had been for several minutes, Lieutenant Tom Coop CT rode along side of him and gave the animal several smart raps with his sword, and until these had been repeated a num- Der of times the balky animal could not be moved from his trancks
 Finally, however, the combination of spurs and sword had the desired effect, aud Lieutenant Brown was enabled to go to his post. The remarkable part of it is that this is the third mount Lieutenant Brown has had since the enca.@pment began and all of them have baked with him while on the field. The popular Birmingham officer attributed their baking to excitement su- perinduced by music. He says they get so excited when the band plays that they don't know what they are doing and insensible to rough treatment.

 The food given the soldiers is of the best and is prepared by first-class cooks. It is said the men have fried chicken so often that they are growing tired of it. The com missary department is giving perfect sat isfaction.
