Columbus. June 7.-Bay View park
Toledo, where the Eighth regiment, o.
N. G., will hold its encampment this
year, is popular summer resort. It
contains 120 acres, is located on the
bay at the mouth of the Maumee river
and has many attractions. It's natural
advantages make 1t excellent for regi.
mental encampments. There is ample
ground for drilling purposes and other
military maneuvers and an abundance
of good water. The fishing, bathing
and boating is as good as can be had
anywhere. The park is five miles from
the heart Of the city and can be reached
by three different electric lines, which
connect with all stations and boat land
ings. The grounds contain all the
shade necessary. Presque isle, where
many national guard regiments have
camped,v is less than a mile distant
from Bay View park. The first annual
encampment of the Ohio National
guard in 1877 was held at Bay View
park. Lieutenant Colonel Charles G
Weybrecht. of Alliance, and Majors
Fred s. Marquis, of Mansfield, and A.
B. Critchfield, of Shreve, who COM
pose the council of administration of
the Eighth regiment, informed Ad.
jutant General Gyger that they had con-
sidered the state encampment grounds
at Newark and number Of other loca-
tions in various parts of the state for
the encampment, but &.
FINALLY CHOSE TOLEDO,
believing 1t would be most acceptable
to the soldiers. July 1920 inclusive
was named as the time for the encamp.
ment. The action of the council has the
approval of the state department.
Another important fact was men.
toned to the adjutant general. It is
proposed to take the regiment to the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo.
The camp pay will be appropriated for
the expenses of the trip. The plan
has been fully discussed and is believed
to be perfectly feasible. The trip will
not consume more than three OF four
days at farthest and it is probable the
soldiers will be called upon to furnish
their own sustenance while in the city.
Colonel Weybrecht reported to Adju-
tant General Gyger that the regiment
is well prepared for the encampment
and he expects its full strength will
be mustered. No substitutes will be
taken. This Is forbidden in a recent
hU m art, rl
ment made good record last summer
at New Philadelphia and is expected to
do better this year. It Is stated spe.
cial inducements were offered the regi.
nent to camp at Bay View park. -Four
years ago the officers talked of select
ing Presque isle for the encampment
that year but Cleveland was chosen In.
stead. Everybody remembers Camp
Moses Cleveland. 1t rained cats and
dogs the whole time the Eighth was
there and RATS were floated in the com
pany streets. The encampment was
not only failure for the Eighth but
for the other regiments which went
there as well. The time and place for |
most of the Ohio National guard regl. |
ments have been designated. They |
will be held successfully.
