ness ties have kept them from the en-
campmcnt heretofore, but they will be
Oh the grounds to greet Governor Cobb,
today.
Corp. Knight of Co. NJ, yesterday, re-
ceived word from n position i'll Boston
which he is to occupy and as n conse-
quence he has been excused from fur
ther duties and left for Boston, last
night, on the Pullman.
There is not a quartermaster i'll the
regiment that has more ability or has
better discipline from his men than
Quartermaster Hayes of Co. NJ. He has
been a member of the guard off and on
for 19 years, knows what to do and
when to dc and expects the same of his
men.
Privates Douglass, Brown, FitZger-
aid, Roberts and Sherbournc as super
nunerary, were the guard detailed
from Co. NJ. yesterday, They will
come off at II o'clock, this morning.
The officers Of Co. A of Gardiner.
think that they have one of the best
drilled and best equipped companies
on the ground and what is a little bet
ter they have grounds for thinking so.
The challenge that was received by
the members of Co. A to a wrestling
match With another company of the
line they have seen fit to ignore, all
though they think that they have one
man that can trim most anything of
his weight, $50 pounds, when it comes
to the manly art.
The demonstration of forming an
outpost will lie one of the features of
the work at the camp. this morning.
SerSt. James is recovering from the
effects of his bite and it is the hope
Of his many friends in Co A that he
may recover with no i'll effects.
Private Appleton Williams of Co. NJ,
was taken to the hospital, last evening.
and treated for slight case of distem-
per.
One of the boys claimed to be harpi
" disappointed that there We're no as
semby calls during the afternoon.
There were others on the grounds that
felt about the same.
Hundreds of visitors enjoyed the
band concert given in front of head
quarters, last night. The music WAS
dfscoursed unusually fine and Mr..
Paine clearly demonstrated that he is
an a ] bandmaster
Sore feet. pains in the stomach and
other minor ills are what the men of
the hospital corps had to attend to af-
ter the boys returned from the hike.
No cases were serious and nearly all
were caused by indeCretion.
No guard detail was sent to duty,
last night, from Co. II.
one of the funny things that hap
poncd during the night of camp at To-
gus. was the way that some of tho
mel. who had taken refuge in slumber.
were pulled feet first from their tents.
Rather rude II was and some of the re-
marks that met the intruders were, it
must be admitted, Il little ruder still.
Safety raZorS were at q premium in
camp, late yesterday Afternoon. All the
boys were sprucing up for the day of
all days, Governors day, at Camp
Cobb.
Sergt. David E. Cook of Co. |, is a
regular army man, having put in three
years i'll the service Of Uncle Sam in
the 22d Corps Of Engineers.
Co. I men are enjoying themselves
telling Of the record that their company
holds in the history of past shoots. For
years the company was an Independent
one and many are the trophies that
they have in their armory at home that
tell OF their prowess with the rifle. The
company is the only one in the regi-
ment that own their own armory.
A tramp made things interesting for
the detail guarding Camp Cobb, Tues
day night. He kept prOwling around
until he attracted the attention of
some of the men in quarters and after
a lively chase he was captured and
placed where he could do little harm
for the night at least.
A tent covering has been placed over
the Electric Road station near the
Camp Cobb grounds. 1t is a great inn
provement, not only I'm looks, but in
other ways, especially in keeping the
dew from falling while the boys are
waiting for car.
One of the boys of Co c said: "Well.
I'm not sorry that hike is over. I've
dreaded it ever since 1 struck camp
and there were others present that
heartily agreed with him.
Sam Connor of the Lewiston Journal.
was among the visitors in camp, Tues
day.
