INSPECTION AND MUSTER
News From Second Regiment at
Camp Lakevieyv.

Camp Lakeview.
CAMP LAKEvIEW, LAKE CITY, MIMI
-Captain Price has practically recov-
cred from his injury and did a big days
work for man in his condition, handling
and examining over 400 guns. The regi-
ment was first assembled on the assem-
bly, grounds and placed in column of COM
panies preparatory to inspection. The
third battalion and one of the companies
of the second battalion were excused un-
til after dinner and the remainder were
compelled to remain there until their turn
came. the last company leaving the field
at 11:45. S>r.
Great interest is manifested on the
range and some good shooting is the re-
suit. and every indication now points to
the fact that this regiment will beat
the Third out in the total number of quail
tfieations as marksmen, but when it comes
to the sharpshooters there is some doubt.
Many of the companies of this regiment
have no home rifle range: The first
battalion shot on the 500-yard range and
at volleying during the afternoon. The
second battalion took up the same work
this morning and the third will probably
20 on this afternoon. This will finish the
scores on the known distance and the Skin
mish firing will probably come uD to-
morrow morning.
