Muster Practically Ended.

The battle of Pelton hill practical
ly ends the encampment of the End
Maine Regiment. This engagement
was the only military work undertake
en- for the day. A couple of ball games
We're played in the afternoon and in
the evening Lieut.. Gould, the athletic
director, put on some friendly boxing
and wrestling bouts in order to pre-
vent the boys from getting uneasy
during their last night in camp.
Reveille will be sounded at AS A.
NJ. Wednesday and mess call at 5.45
A. NJ. The regiment will be paid the
United States army pay at Col
Hume's tent, beginning at about : A.
NJ. THE General" will be sounded
at $50 p NJ. and at the last note Of
the bugle every tent in Camp Keyes
will fall towards the south.
The intention is TO leave the ground
in practically the same condition up
on which it was found by the regi-
ment. After the tents have fallen
each will be tied in a bundle, carried
lover to the storehouses and placed
in compartments assigned to each
company. Dinner will be cooked for
each company Immediately after
breakfast has been cleared away and
at 8 A. NJ. the stoves will be supposed
TO be free of fire of all kinds, so that
they can be packed together and
when cool taken to the storehouses
and stored.
The sinks where the kitchen refuse
has heen burned will be cleared of
rocks and filled in with dirt and the
tent floors will be piled beside the
storehouses. Each company will pe-
lice it's own streets and Co D of
Norway, which in accordance with
the entrainng orders will be the last
to leave camp, will police the whole
camp thoroughly after the other COM
panies have gone.
The main body of the End Regiment
win leave camp about 11.15 A. NJ, and
will consist of the band and Hospital
Corps and Cos. /, L, G, f. E, H, and
A. They will take special train
following the 1905 P. nj. train east
Cos. C, B, and X will leave by cleo
trio cars in season to take the 1.33
P. NJ. train from Winthrop. Co. D
will leave on Maine Central train at
3.05 P NJ. and connect at Yarmouth
Junction with Grand Trunk train for
South Paris and Norway.
1t is probable that there will not
be another encampment of the End
Regiment at the State muster field for
two years, as the next encampment is
likely to be at Pine Camp, New York,
in connection with that of the Ma
tional Guards of the other New Eng
land states and New York
Co. C of I.ivermore Falls went on
guard at p. NJ, replacing Co of
PASSPORT, which had been on duty
since the formal guard mount at 11.3o
Sunday forenoon. Capt. Arthur f.
Kinds thus became officer of the day
in place of Capt. Ralph w. Bradish of
PASSPORT. Sergt Samuel Smith acted
as commander of the guard and Seret.
Harvey A. Brown as corporal of the
guard.
The hospital was free from patients.
Tuesday, for the second day in sue
cession The hospital detachment,
while in the field at the battle of Pei
ton hill, in addition to caring for the
injured who were tagged. found one
little matter not down on the program,
that of caring for man who had ac-
cidentally cut his finger. The injury
was not at all of a serious nature and
was quickly attended to. The com
handing surgeon stated Tuesday eve-
ming to a Journal reporter that he
never attended a camp where the gem
eral health of the men had been 50
good.
