STATE HOUSE.
Arrangement for Encampment
OF Troops Nearly Completed.
Soldier Boys Won't Spend Sunday in
Camp This Year.
Six New Companies File Articles Of
Incorporation.

The arrangements for the annual en-
campment Of the National Guard of
the State Of Maine are progressing
fayorably. The train service has not
yet been determined upon for all tha
companies, as one or two of them have
not decided whether they will march
| from home to the muster field or
whether they Will be transported by
| rail-. The idea of marching to camp is
! not entirely new, for the militia of the
| olden times. before the advent of the
railroad. was accustomed to attend the
l'annual training in this manner: but
| in these later days it has not been done.
The Pennington company will doubt
less march across country anyway.
! and perhaps the Bath boys NAV also
| walk into camp.
| The encampment will begin on Tues
| day, August II. just two weeks from
! next Tuesday, when Colonel KendalPs
| First Regiment will arrive This regi-
ment Will stay in camp until Saturday,
the 18th. There will be no Sunday
in camp this year. On Monday, the
18th. the Second Regiment, under
Colonel Newcomb, will enter camp and
viii remain until Friday. Thus each
regiment will have five days Of duty,
although but four nights will be spent
at the muster grounds. There will
really be but three full days for the
real work of the camp, as the first day
viii be broken uD in getting here and
getting settled and the last day will be
| used in preparing for and departing for
home. Still, even three days in camp
are much better than none at all, as
was feared might be the fact few
months ago.
The adjutant-generals force of clerks
have everything in readiness. The
muster and payrOllS are prepared ready
for delivery to the various company
commanders; also those for the field
and staff, and non-cOmmissiOned staff
and band and the signal and ambu-
lance corps.
In the morning of each day will oc-
cur the rifle practice. and regimental
commanders will detail ~ experienced
men to act as markers and scorers.
These men win report to the Inspector
General of Rifle Practice, Col. Elliott c.
Dill, every morning at Gas o'clock
when rifle competitions are to be had.
