day acting the part of a soldier IN
camp. He made his appearance on the
parade grounds with Colonel Hine and
his officers. and although it is many
years since the congressman rode troop
horses. he went through the move
ments with military precision. He was
the centre of interest and rode in the
first set of fours.
Captain Gismond, of Company Z.
Fifth Regiment, was overcome by the
heat yesterday and was taken to the
hospital for treatment. He recovered
quickly and resumed his duties. The
fierce heat continues, and sleeping in
the open more than compensates the
men for the inconvenience met.
Owing to the heat the day guards
are permitted to wear campaign hats
and no white gloves IRE used. Cow
