AdJutant General Farnham and Brig
Cen. Davis have returned from Water
Vile. where in company with Col Ever
ard f. Newcomb Of the list Infantry.
they went Tuesday for the purpose of
locating route and camping places
for the regiment on its practice march
from Waterville to Augusta in August.
1t was the original intention of the mil
itary authorities to maxi the trip
between the two cities by the way III
Oakland, Belgrade and Sidney, but after
going over Il portion of the ground
Tuesday it was decided to abandon the
plan, owing to the lack of facilities for
camping places. and the route decided
upon was that lying along the east
shore of the Kennebec river.
After returning to Waterville the Of
ficers went over the latter route and
were rot long in deciding that it was
much the better course. The roaIs are
much better. the land is high and in full
view of the river. there are many shade
trees along the route and excellent
camping places at various points. The
route will be shorter by some five miles
than that which was at first con-
sdere J, but il is not probable that there
will he any objection from the men on
that point.
The regiment will mobilize at Water
vile Monday, Aug. Is, but it is likely
that because of the distance some of
the companies will have to travel the
regiment will not go into camp until
late N the afternoon. The camp will
be established on the Central Maine
State Fair grounds, and the regiment
will remain there until the following
morning, when the march will begin,
the column moving across the river to
Winslow and from there to EassalborO
On reaching a point about 10 miles from
Waterville the regiment will again go
into camp and remain until Wednes-
day morning. On breaking camp We'd
neSday the march will be resumed to-
ward Augusta, and it is expected that
the regiment will reach the city early
in the afternoon.
The officers in charge of the coming
maneuvers are much pleased with the
excellent facilities which have been Sc
cured in the way Of routes and camping
places for both regiments. and are con
fident that the practice march which
the men of each will take before COM
ing to Augusta will be of great bene-
fit.
