THE NIANTIC ENCAMPMENT
(Continued from First Page.)

I bottles in camp. Box after box was un | loaded at the heads of company streets ] and the contents examined and placed in the customary closets or under the floors of the tents.
 No intoxieants were in sight and the
 contrast with former camps was very
 noticeable. This is carrying out the or l der of General Frost and the present
 camp promises to be dry. It Is no easy
 undertaking to carry out prohibition order when the sentiment of the men
 is very largely against it.
 But orders are orders and subordi-
 nate officers have taken a stand to en-
 force this one for the reputation of
 the National Guard after the facts
 brought out at the costly Bradley
 court martial.
 Captain Bradley and his Company l of Meriden are prominent this year.
 The famous captain said yesterday that his company comes to camp in hrst class order with a membership of six l weight men, all true to him.
 "The men are unanimous in comply ing with General Frost's liquor order Captain Bradley said, "and l am ready for inspection at any moment" He would guarantee that one man could drink everything in the street. The captains tent is minus chest, and the same is true of every tent in the street. General Frost said that the camp is clean of contraba wet goods as far as he could ascertain.
 The local companies streets are free from any intoxicating liquors and 1t is expected that there will be no trouble in this line among the New Haven men. The captains of all the New Haven companies said yesterday afternoon that they believed all the companies far as they knew there was nothing outside of water, ginger ale and root beer in the camp.
 Major Marigold of Bridgeport the brigade quartermaster, met with se- rious accident early eserday morn ing while on his tour of inspection of baggage. His horse stumbled and rolled on him, dislocating his left shoulder. He was assisted to his quar- ters and Medical Examiner Watson placed the bone back in position and put the arm in sling. Major Marigold Is attending to his duties, but is not able to ride his horse. He began his inspection of baggage about 5 o'clock and reports no contra band goods found.
 The officer of the day yesterday was Captain Walter R. Markham of Com pany H, Second regiment. The officer of the guard was First Lieutenant San land of Company A. Waterbury, and tl1n T was Second Lieutenant Lowell II. Page of Company D, this city.
 Captain Bradley of Meriden will be officer of the day to-day. First Lieu tenant Patrick Halpin of Company G, Waterbury, will be officer of the guard and Second Lieutenant John Salerno of Company B, New Haven, will be super numerary officer of the guard.
 Major McCabe, who was recently elected to the position. made his initial appearance as commander of the Sec ond battalion and acted his part like a veteran.
 The Grays' street and in fact the streets of all the local companies were in trim order yesterday and compare favorably with any on the grounds.
 Governor Lounsbury arrived at Ni- antic at Ill o'clock yesterday morning and immediately notified General Van Keuren. The latter with the governors staff, rode down to the Mantle House just before noon and the governor was escorted to the camp grounds. His ex- cellency will remain in camp all week.
 Governor Lounsbury and Adjutant General Van Keuren expressed them- selves as highly gratified with the ex- cellent showing of the men. There was not guard house case during the en- tire day. and there was not a case at the brigade hospital until late yester- day afternoon. This change Is attrib- uted to the absence of liquor in camp.
 delightfully."- cool west breeze blew over the camp grounds during the day and at no time was the suns rays op- pressive. There were a number of vis- itors at camp yesterday, though the large crowd will come later in the week.
