the Rain Game Rest for the Weary.

PEEKsKILL, June q The rain held off
just long enough for the men of the Twenty
second Regiment to get through their engi-
neering work tins morning.
Col. Bartlett shifted the companies about
SO that all the men of the regiment should
have chance ut the different kinds of in
structon, but the actual work done was
the same az I hat which was in progress
when recall was sounded yesterday.
Seven companies were hard at work at
$50 this morning down under the hill near
the ferry landing building pontoon bridges
The canvas, barrel and regular pontoon
sections, which were begu yesterday were
built out from the shore to-day until the
material for the work was exhausted. Then
the barrel and canvas sections were cut
loose from the shore padded out into the
inlet and one after the other joined to the
regular pontoons.
The whole made bridge that reached
out well toward the New York Central
railroad bridge across the inlet's mouth.
All the seven companies that had built
the structure lined up on it when it was
completed and were photographed in the
butternut brown working clothes and
pOnch0s in which they had done their work
to-day
While this business was going on down
on the water the building of suspension
and trestle bridges was in progress, up on
the plain. The three companies detailed
at this work were yesterday engaged in
forthcoming down on the water.
After the engineering work was over
Gea. Roe gave his daily instruction in riding
lasting an hour, To the officers Of the reBi-
ment. While this was in progress NJ lss
Helen Gould and a party of friends, in three
carriages, drove up To headquarters, ana
from there were accompanied by Col
Pfsterer around the camp, stopping for
moment to meet Gen. Roe and then pro-
eeeding on down the officers street through
the camp.
Miss Gould wished particularly TO speak TO
the Regular army detachment Of Engineer
Corps privates. They were all lined up
in their company street when she alighted
from her carriage and she was introduced
eighty-seven of them in all-shaking
hands and having pleasant word Tor
each. Miss Gould is greatly Interested
in Sle Y, NJ. c. A, work in the army and
navy. and it was of this work that she
spoke to many of tho Enigneer Corps men,
Dunderberg not only had nightcap but
suit of ragged pajamas on this morning
that left little OF the mountain visible save
a dim outline. And what l. expected when
Dunderberg gets into this rig came to pass,
About 10 O'Clock IN the morning the IOR con
densed into drizzle and then into slow
but sure and steady rain, making the after
noon in camp dull and depressing, but
highly favorable for the resting Of muscles
lame from hard work, and there is pretty
liberal allowance OF those articles in camp.
The weekly rumor Of visit from the
West Point cadets was due to-day and ar"
rived on schedule time, Unless present
plans are changed the cadets are not COM
ing either tomorrow. az runored, or any
other day this week. And inasmuch as
the State camp closes for the season with
the departure Of the Twenty second on
Saturday next. the chances are that no
more West Point ca diets will lie seen here
for "A good while to come, IL the weather
permits. however the regiment will put in
tomorrow afternoon with athletic contests
of various kinds.
