Special to The Globe.
CAMP LAKEVIEW, LAKE CITY,
Mimi, June 1.-THE third day of the
national guard encampment was per-
feet one for all work. The inspections
during the morning proved most in
teresting, and were witnessed by
large gathering. Capt. Dwyer, u. S.
A. was most thorough in his work,
and is anxious to ascertain just what
the company could do If put in the
field. Special attention is paid to eX-
tended order, and the non-coms are
required to demonstrate their ability.
The lieutenants are also closely QueS-
toned as to their duties. Capt. Dwyer
does not go much on the fancy drill,
but wants to see a company alive and
ready for work. The First and Second
battalionS Of infantry were inspected
today and the Third will be tomorrow,
which finishes the inspections.
The officers Of Battery A are enter
tanning Sergeants Arthur and Jones, of
the Tenth United States field battery,
Fort Smelling. This morning they went
in the field with the battery and gave
much practical instruction which is of
ineStimable value. Sergeant Arthur
rode the pole team and Sergeant Jones
the lead team, and gave an exhibition
in mounted drill which was most bene-
fetal. The feeling between the Tenth
battery and Battery A is most cordial.
A Serenade social was recently given
by Battery A, at which the Tenth were
guests. This was later returned by
the regulars.
Review for Gen. Libbey.
Adjt. Gen. Libbey was rendered a
review of the Third regiment of in
fantry and battalion of artillery this
evening. Both organizations made an
excellent showing, and the general was
we'll pleased.
The firing on the infantry range to-
day was most gratifying and some
good scores were made. Sergeant Bird,
Company B, Anoka, made 141 out of a
possible $50, and Sergeant Colwell,
same company, made 139. The skirmish
will be run Friday.
Drum Major Michael McGuffin, we'll
known to all members of the national
guard, is in camp again this year and
leads the Third regiment band on all
ceremonies. Maj. McGuffin has re-
tired from the regular service after
thirty years service, but enjoys the
camp outings as much as any Of the
younger members.
Capt. Olaf M. NOrdly, military store
keeper, spent the day in ST. Paul, re-
turning in the evening. The captain
has the work of his department
thoroughly in hand and has a perfect
system.
Maj. c. w. Fisher, st. Paul, assis-
tant inspector general, has been busily
engaged today experimenting the
making out of pay rolls, all of which
he viii later check up and see that
every man gets all the service pay he
is entitled to.
The artillery is doing most efficient
work on the range, and yesterday out
of forty nine shots fired forty-five
found a place on the target. The am
munitiOn, which is prepared under
the supervision of Lieut.. A. F. Pray
and every shell weighed carefully, is
almost perfect.
The battery spent the morning in
mounted drill. Mai. Lambert has pro
posed a date for the interstate COM
petition and the Wisconsin battery is
