marched TO the ready made camp. BY the
time the men who had not been detailed to
guard duty had unpacked their belongings,
which usually included much that was not
strictly essential for the promotion of military
knowledge, it was time for the midday meal,
and the soldiers marched by companies to the
mess hail. where they were served by the State
caterer who received IS cents day for each
man There were parades guard mounts,
drills and schools for the instruction of officers
and enlisted men. there were baseball matches,
band concerts, shows and all sorts of picnic
entertainments but little actual work. The
camp service was changed to some extent
few years ago when the troops divided the time
between the established camp and a proyls-

packed on the train. unloaded and conveyed,
together with rationS cooking utensils and
other camp paraphernalia, to the grounds.
The tented city which they will erect may
not IN point OF beauty and regularity, come up
to the standard set by the men who did this
work in former years; the history Of the tour
of camp duty may include less matter as to
athletic contests and there may be less de-

the men will derive more benefit from their

military knowledge and the cost to the State for
