Due to Systematic Work.
The exceptionally satisfactory results
that have been obtained during the present
camp are due in large part TO the syste-
matte work of the quartermaster'S and
commissary departments. The latter were
represented at Harpers Ferry several days
prior to the arrival of the troops by LIST
Lieut.. Pinckney w. Smith, lGartermaster
of the LIST Battalion, who is detailed as
camp quartermaster, and LIST Lieut. Edwin
II. Neumeyer, quartermaster of the I'd
missary.
The first two days after the arrival of
the brigade the quartermasters department
was engaged IN issuing the things that
were needed, from tentage and lumber to
lanterns. Since then such business as look
ing after the payment of rent for the camp
grounds and the hiring of laborers cooks
and the like has occupied attention. The
department Is now engaged iD figuring on
the details of transporting the troops home
next Friday and closing up the commercial
part or the encampment. The QuartermaS-
ter's department, so far as the present out
ing Is concerned, has been conducted in a
manner more systematic than ever before
Each officer has particular duties to per-
form, and he executes the same with zeal
and intelligence.

go into camp without well-organized

Ing the entire camp period, and every year
of late. except last year. the brigade whlle
drenchings. The first disagreeable down.
pour of the present outing occurred at a
most inopportune time. The heavens
opened, so to speak, while the entire com
mand. including the regulars, were parucl-
pating in the first brigade parade of this
encampment the drill field late yester-
day afternoon. Just prior to the march past
in review the torrent descended. AS this Is
far from being an outfit of tin soldiers,
however, the ceremony was concluded. The
large throng of visitors to camp beat a
hasty retreat. and only the sentine.s on
post witnessed that moist but nevertheless
of the column.
Everybody. including the commanding
general and the members of his staff, most
Of them attired in brand new spick and
span service uniforms of olive drab, were
drenched to the skin. Plenty of firewood
was provided and the guardsmen and regu-
lars busted themselves getting dry. so that
there was no time for complaining of the
situation. The evening concert of the bri-
gade band gave way TO a rehearsal by the
musicians in the lecture tent. There being
very little incentive to leave camp, owing
to muddy roads, early to bed was the rule.
Lieutenant General Chaffee, acting secre-
tary of war; General Bates and party of
army officers will reach camp between $50
and o'clock this afternoon for an informal
visit and inspection. The visitors will be
met at the railroad station in Harper's
Ferry by General Harries and the officers of
his staff, and several of the officers of the
detachment of United States troops in
camp with the guard, and escorted to camp.
AS the party enters the gate. the Sd Bat
terry of Field Artillery, United States army,
will fire salute of seventeen guns.
Troop F. 18th Cavalry, United States
army. will give an exhibition drill for the
visitors. Brigade dress parade will occur
