vice. atOr Mcclellan desires that all
OF the members of the regiment, pri-
Yates as well as officers. shall receive
as much instruction in camp as posi-
BILE. record viii therefore be kept
OF the men who have TO be excused
from attending part of the encamp-
ment When they are able to attend
the encampment they will receive eX-
ira instruction in the work,
But il has not been in this respect
alone that Major Mcclellan showed
great consideration. He assisted the
officers of the regiment by lending
them conveyances for their personal
baggage and camp supplies. Captain
Williamson the depot quartermaster Of
the United States army, also cooper
ated and placed a number of wagons
and a big four-horse truck at the dis
posal of the ergimental officers. Last
night bhe tents and various stores for
the camp were taken out to the camp
ing grounds by the army teams.
Five soldiers from each regimental
company were detached to attend to
setting up the tents and preparing the
camp fCr the reception of the regiment
today. Captain Whitehouse of Com
Pany A was sent out in command of
this part of the preliminary work. Six
men from Company II acted as guard
of the regiment.
There were two escort wagons and
one big truck on hand this morning.
They were loaded with various cooking
utensils, officers baggage and different
things.
What are those tail boxes, with
doors, on those little rollersY' was
asked, as several very familiar looking
boxes were taken out of the officers
n a,
"Oh, they are bureaus" was the
ready reply. Bureaus for the officers
effects"
Funny kind of bureaus, with no
looking glasses attached. What do you
put in emp
"Oh, we have the glasses packed in
those barrels that you see. Ask Cap
tain Berndt of Company A what goes
in uhe bureaus" came the reply as
the mysterious looking thing were cart
ed off at double quick time to the en-
campment.
Capt;;in German was very busy
man az the Eva end of the headquar-
tiers building. The commissary sergents
were reporting to him. They had con-
siderable to report and for an hour he
was occupied with hearing their COM
plants and telling them how to pro-
coed. An extra force of men from each
company had to be detached to help
the sergeant pack the trucks. The com
missarv stores and quartermasters sup
plies were taken out to the camp yes
terday. Most of the stuff that was car
ried out this morning belonged to the
officers or else were odds and ends of
company implements connected with
the various departments of camp life.
There was not the discipline that will
be seen "a few days after the boys have
been in camp. Willie Ellis, the chief
bugler. went marching down the drive
way from Hotel street, blowing his
morn like Little Boy Blue.
You'll have to quit eating poi Will
lie," shouted a member of Company H,
'if you want to blow that bugle;" and
when John Ellis of the band blew the
clarionet in imitation of his brother,
Willie subsidized.
1t was S:45 o'clock before Colonel
Jones gave the order for the regiment
to form into line. The band went at
the head of the column, then came
Company and the other organiza-
tions. Fours was the formation of the
regiment The regiment marched to
the makai gate and there waited for
the arrival of the cars to convey it to
the encampment grounds.
There was one thing which was lack
ing to the show. This was a crowd of
spectators. The sWeethearts and wives
and sisters of the soldiers were evident
ly too busy at home with household
duties to attend the departure of the
brass buttoned contingent. Such an
occurrence is very rare one.
Ever since old Pharaoh gathered his
war ChariOts and went on a still
hunt for the Israelites, the departure of
brass buttons has been attended by
/, a mil nj nd inf
once the Honolulu girls did not re-
spond. Where cheers and handker-
chiefs were expected, there was only
the signing zephyr of a trade wind and
what singing was done was only gasps,
for the day commenced to be warm
long before the regiment got under
way. However, the encampment will
probably attract the fair sex. The
place will no doubt be visited by hun
dreds during the five days that the
boys are to play at the game of SOL
diering.
Company d from Hlo is expected to
arrive tomorrow morning. Wireless
orders We're sent to the commander of
the company to be ready to report at
once to the Honolulu encampment.
The steamer Mccall was ordered by
wireless to proceed from Honokaa TO
Hilo and bring the Hilo company TO
. Honolulu. The steamer should arrive
here tomorrow morning. The boys win
proceed at once to the encampment on
their arrival,
