via Cambridge, for the annual en-
campment at Lake City. The boys
were accompanied so far as Cambridge
by the Princeton band. Before leav-
ing Princeton they we're all lined up
IN the court house yard, where their
pictures were taken by County Audi
tor Whitney. Both the militia and
band presented a real military ap-
pearance as they marched out of town.
A short distance out of Princeton
the warriors halted until they had To-
Gated the advance guard, when they
renewed their march along the route
known as the South Green lake-Cam-
bridge road. At $40 the company
arrived at suitable camping ground
on Green lake outlet brook, about
nine miles from Princeton. The camp
was named "Camp Galley" in honor
OF the company's valiant captain.
While tents were being pitched the
cooks prepared supper, which in
cluded a number of fried chickens. but
hardly sufficient to go around. Sup
per over, the band gave concert and
the boys amused themselves in various
ways until the bugle gave notification
that it was time to roll into their beds
on the hard, cold ground.
Next morning camp was astir at
4:3O and after breakfast the company
had a short drill, which was followed
by guard mount. At 7:45 the CON-
pany, preceded by the band, fell into
line and the march to Cambridge was
resumed. The boys entered that town
at noon with band playing and colors
floating in the breeze. Every inhabi-
tant of Cambridge had apparently
turned out to greet and welcome the
boys and a reception committee of Cit
liens received them in a formal man
ner and extended the freedom of the
village.> -,
Tents were pitched near the railroad
station and dinner, consisting largely
OF beans and coffee, partaken of.
There were no chickens served at this
repast-none within convenient dis
lance. Directly after dinner the
Princeton ball team-mostly mem
bers Of Company G-played the Bra
hams on the Cambridge grounds and
defeated them by a score of p to s.
The principal feature of the game was
the batting of Smith, who hit the ball
into the next county and made a home
run. He could, however, have easily
made two runs on that hit.
Supper was eaten at s O'Clock. fol-

guard mount and dress pal ade we're
given. The boys presented an impos-
ing spectacle and demonstrated that
they we're perfectly familiar with mill
tary tactics.
During the company's stay in Cam
bridge it was most Hospitality treated
by the citizens there was nothing too
good for the boys in khaki.
On Monday morning the boys pulled
stakes early and we're in readiness to
board the special train carving the

tingents which arrived at 1870.
A communication from Lake View
says the special arrived there at ll:3o
a. m. and that guard was mounted at
once. Company G's detail consisted
OF Privates Albert Anderson, Alvin
Anderson and Alvin Bemis, while
Captain Galley was made officer of the
day. The regiment in camp now con-
sists of twelve companies and CON-
pany G is one of the largest. Its po-
sition is on the right side of the Sec
ond battalion and visitors will be
gladly welcomed.
