the morning and in the afternoon prac- tice marches and open order skirmish- ing were held under the direction or Colonel B. H. Graves. commanding tte End Infantry.
 In both of these maneuvers the pat talion at present commanded by Cap tain E. F. Baber, Jr.. participated. The battalion is composed of the Flu faula company, the Selma company and the two Montgomery companies. the Greys and the Blues. On both occa. sions the men were marched around the lake and across the. Mount Meigs road. Here they were deployed and moved forward in defense and attack. The afternoon maneuvers were the more important. The problem involved was the attack and capture Of an lm- aginary position held by Colonel across the Mount Meigs road. The position was selected by Colonel Graves for its defensive possibilities Deployed as skirmishers. Captain Ba- Der and his battalion moved on this position as the advance guard of an attacking army. The vanguard of the attacking forces fell into the hands Of | the imaginary forces of the defenders. but the commander of the attacking force quickly recovered from this loss and successfully moved his men against the strong position of the de- lending force. The method and sue cess of the attack was favorably com meRted upon by the militiamen who witnessed the maneuvers.
 The maneuVers were held no less TOT the instruction of the men who partic- ipated in them than for the other men of the regiment who watched them. Two Regiments May Practice. Maneuvers of this sort between the 1st and the End Infantry have been discussed, but as yet no sort of definite arrangements have been made for them. The 1st Infantry goes into camp tomorrow at Pickett Springs and if the maneuvers should be held they will take place at some point between the regimental camps.
 l Beyond the regimenta1 maneuvers, the morning drills and the afternoon dress parade, no event of importance | marked the day at Camp Gray. The camp was filled with visitors in the late hours of the afternoon both be- fore and after dress parade and large crowd witnessed the dress parade ex- ercises at o'clock.
 The Montgomery Greys will today do guard duty at the camp. Captain Rob- erts of the Greys will be officer of the day and Lieutenants Brame and Tay- Tor will be the officers of the guard, while the men of the company will serve as the daily sentinels of the camp. ...
 The local company, that Is the company from the city in which the regimental camp Is held. havS great dificulty in getting their men to re- main regularly at camp. If the camp is near their home they prefer to spend as much of the time at home IS they can and perform the military duties that are required of them. The large attendance of the Montgomery Blues. under this circumstance, has been fav- orably commented upon. Although 1t is a local company the attendance of it's men at camp Is one of the largest in the regiment. In the display work in the instruction of the men, In ex- tended order drilling, and in army maneuvering and attack the Blues have been called upon for special ser vice. In this work they are supposed to be one of the best trained com lpanies in the Alabama National Guard.
