an hour. The troops Will face the south, so

Governor DUrbin was at the camp all of
yesterday. 1t was thought that there were
not as many men In camp this year as
formerly, but this was denied by the Gov
ernOr, who said there were more. There
are 1900 men in camp this year, while there
were only 1900 last year. There are two
more companies in camp this year than
heretofore. The Governor and his staff
will view the troops from the field to-day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Durbin gave an informal re-
ceptiOn TO the officers last night i'm the
Governors quarters. Music was furnished
Professor Blue leader and Howard Earle
drum major.
BOY ON RUNAWAY HORSE.
A horse ran away yesterday morning
with the seven-year-old son of Chaplain
Knox, First Regiment, on his back. 1t ran
directly to the stable. The hospital corps
saw the horse coming and got out one of
the filters. The men caught the boy just
as he was falling from the horses back.
He was not hurt, but he was badly fright
ened. He will be several years older before
he will try to ride a horse again.
There have been six men in the hospital
so far. Three of them were sent to their
homes yesterday. Those now under the
care of the urgeOns are Corporal Howard
Jackson, Company b, Third Infantry; Ser
geant y. Goodwin, Company A, First In
fantry, and Private W.. Pelz, Battery b.
None of the boys is in a serious condition.
Some OF the sympathizing soldiers nave
been kind enough TO present flowers to the
Battery A had a splendid drill yesterday
afternoon. Nick Rembusch, of the artil-
lery band, was writing music with moth
ing but the head of a barrel TO rest his
arms upon. The boys made it pretty hot
for Ike Kahn, the pet" They were after
him with blacksnake whips. Later in the
day he was blanketed. Private William
Meyers is the only complaining one of the
battery. He hurt his knee while drilling.
Besides having a bad knee. he has a watch
chain that was made from hair taken from
the tail Of the horse that he rode in Porto
Rico. He talks about both.
The artillery boys said last evening that
they were expecting a Ito arms call
about the time they got TO sleep. If they
were called they expected nothing less than
a ride to Fairview. There was much
blanketing among the artillery boys. One
Of the boys of Battery 3 cried after he had
been blanketed. He was carried into a
tent and left to cry TO himself.
The Battery A band is said to be the best
mounted artillery band in the country. II
has not been mounts this week, but the
musicians say they can play as well on
horseback as on foot.
