Yesterday morning and will be con-
tinutd until July g. The camp is in
charge Of Capt. S. Il. Ansell of the Sth
United states Infantry and the men
will be given the same instruction as
they would were they at the military
academy at West Point. The officers
OF the two regiments arrived in the
city on the morning trains yesterday
and proceeded at once to the camp
ground on Western avenue.
The officers will remain in camp
eight days and the expenses of the
carp will I've borne by the national
government. The school hours will
be devoted exclusively to oral recita-
items by Individual officers Owing
to the little time available in camp for
the purpose, officers were ordered some
tine ago to carefully prepare them
selves upon the various subjects per-
tanning to the Guard. REGULATIONS
will be marked upon q scale of 80, and
written report made, of the pro-
fcicncy and thOrOughness and
preparation of each officer, to the ad-
jutant generals Office and the regi-
mental commander.
During the four hours drill each day
the cheers will be in ranks equipped
with rifle, belt and bayonet. Begin
ming with the third day of instruction,
the captains will be selected as in
structors, and they will take turns in
drilling the command. The object is
