MILITARY CAMP OPENS SATURDAY.

The members of the various compan-
les Of the o. M. D. have been busy ali
the week making preparations for the

The work of shipping the tents and
quartermaster's supplies has been COM
pleted and early in the day, Saturday, the
Rifle Range will be a tented city. The
companies from all parts of the State will
leave their respective Arnones on the
earliest trains or trolleys Saturday morn
ing with the exception of Co. E., the
Newark Company, which will make the

made as to the officer who will be as
signed to the encampment by the regular
army but it is thought that Capt. Edgar
Simon Slayer, Twenty-third u S. Infan-
try will be given the commission. It
will be very pleasing, should he be the
man sent by the regular army, as he was
formerly military instructor at Delaware
College and is very popular with both

assigned to the encanpment and knows
the details of the camp work as well as
the men and officers.
