 command of Major Mcintyre of the 1 Third regiment, was held in readiness 1 to go to the scene.
 About 9:30 Colonel Schulze's entire force assumed definite position hav- ! ing chosen the west flank of the en- emy's line. Soon afterwards the com- mand to enter camp was given, and 1 Colonel Schulze's men, footsore and weary entered the grounds midst the
 music of the buglers' corps. All the officers appeared pleased over the out come and Colonel Hendrie, in speaking of the attack to the war correspon- dents, said it would have been as easy to have repulsed the enemy. This would indicate that he anticipates a decision in favor of the defense when it is announced tomorrow. The two regular army officers, Captain Gatchell and Captain Hunter were the judges, and their decision tomorrow will be 2 eagerly awaited for by the officers or the attacking and defending regiments.
 The work of the boys was pronounced very creditable by Brigadier General Frost.
 This morning the Third and Fourth
 regiments and the third and fourth sec-
 tions of the signal corps will leave the
 camp at 7:30 o'clock under the com
 mand of Colonel Henry J. Thayer uni
 formed and equipped in the same man.
 ner as the First and Second were Mon-
 day at Lyme. Colonel Thayer will give
 his men practice march westerly on
 through the enemy's country and Will
 encamp for the night at Payne's farm.
 To morrow morning these regiments
 will attack the camp in the manner of
 the First and Second regiments yester-
 day.
 Colonel Theodore IT. Sucher, of the
 Second regiment, will assume command
 of the First and Second regiments,
 which will remain in camp and make
 defensive disposition. The troops on
 both sides will be governed by the gen.
 eral instructions provided for the forces
 operating on Monday and yesterday
 except that fifteen rounds of blank ann
 munition will be carried by each infan-
 tryman, 800 rounds by each machine
 gun section and ten rounds for each
 light artillery gun section and will be
 used in ton morrow's exercises. No shot
 will be fired at nearer than 50 yards
 from the enemy.
 The Third and Fourth regiments will
 not have to endure the hardships to- night at Payne's Farms that the First and Second did, as the quartermastere
 department will be better prepared to handle the stuff than they were on Monday, when 1t rained so hard.
 The provisions will be sent there ear ly in the morning and as the ground will probably be very dry the experi- ence of the regiments tonight will not be in the least uncomfortable
 The members of the First and Sec
 ond regiments had number of stories
 to tell about their experience at Payne's
 farm Monday night both humorous and
 pathetic. Not one of the men coming
 from this city was made i'll from ex-
 posture and the heads of all the com panies yesterday afternoon said that they were very much pleased with the showing of the soldiers from the Elm city The Sarsfelds were sent out on post duty as soon as they reached the farm and accordingly none of them had
 much sleep in the night. They had the
 brunt of the work to do for the two regiments in that line and they did it creditably. Captain Donovan was de- tailed as acting major and held position
 until yesterday morning when the Sec
 ond came into camp. He directed the men in the attack and an interesting story Is told of him as he was riding in
 on his horse. 4 number of spectators
 were at a corner in the center of the town looking at the attack of the sol diers and one in a bunch of several men and women was heard to remark Why, there's Teddy Roosevelt look at him on that horse there" Another woman said Tt is, isn't it?" and then one of the men yelled out Hello Teddy" Captain Donovan saluted with great dignity and immediately gave wrong order. It should have been "Fours right" but the acting major in- stead said "Fours left" and there was a mix-up. His being Teddy Roosevelt was a little too much for him for time. The order was changed amid the laughter of the men. Later in the day the captain was seen and he said that all of his men were in good condition and that they stood the trip well so far.
 Two of the company's scouts were able to gain entrance to the camp Monday night and to take view of the situa- tion. They reported that the enemy was sleeping. In other ways the Sars- fields have shown up well. The Grays were tired lot yesterday and they all turned in early last night. Captain Gruener reported that all of the men were we'll with the exception of few light colds. Captain Luddington of Troop A was seen and he too said that every man was fit to start in the hard | drills which would begin to-day. Ev- | cry man in the roll of the company is at camp-62 in all-and every man is ready for hard work The horses used 1 by the company are in good shape and | are getting used to camp life, To-day | Troop A will drill from 7:30 to 9 a. m. | and from 10 to 11:30 a. m. The same 1 hours will be taken up in drill to- -mor- l row and on Friday the troop will take | the place of the battery and machine | gun drills, from 9:30 to 10:30 The first drill of the company this morning will | be watched with interest by the differ- ent companies. Captain Isbel. of the | Blues, and Captain Hall, of the Light | Guard, were seen yesterday and they had favorable reports to make on the of their men. They said that | those who were there were in good con-
