There was little or no excitement in
camp tonight. A number Of the soldiers
evinced desire to enjoy swim in the
Kenncbec river about dusk but this plan
was not approved by the company COM
mandcrs, as it was learned that poisonous
matter was likely to be in the stream on
account of the refuse sent out from the
pulp mill at South Gardiner. There were
no candles in camp tonight and as no
means of amusement was provided the
men retired to their little shelter tents
early. in order that they might enjoy the
full benefits of a good nights rest be
fore the long and arduous march tomor-
row.
1t is intended to break camp at an early
hour Tuesday SO that considerable ground
nav be covered before the sun is fairly
high in the heavens. 1t is also planned to
serve the midday rations at South Gar
diner and the regiment will so into camp
about one mile this side of the city OF
Gardiner. and Wednesday the march TO
Camp Cobb will be completed
Late tonight the men who were over
come by the heat on today's march were
reported to be in comfortable condition
and all will probably be able to take up
the march again tomorrow morning.
Comnlissary Capt. Kavanagh went UP
to Camp Cobb this evening TO arrange
for commissary stores for the regiment
on march tomorrow.
While the scheme of marching TO the
muster grounds from a distance Is new
one with this State, the present trial ap-
pears to be one that will work ont well
and may possibly be adopted in future
wears The men are a little SOFT ehe
first day out and the heat and fatigue
takes hold of them more than it Will In
two or three days time. but it tnughens
them up and works no harm in the end
The order to strike camp here Will proc
ably be given tomorrow morning at ,
o'clock. .~.A- :,
