SEA GIRT, Aug. 5.-The soldiers
from Newark and Paterson left here
this afternoon on special trains bound
for home after completing a strenuous
weeks stay at the State camp. 1t was
no easy task loading the trains with
baggage and equipment, but the men
entrained quickly and cheers rams out
al the specials started way.
Just before the guardsmen marched
to the little depot Governor Wilson
sent a note to General Hine congratu-
lating him on the work of the regi-
ments and it was stated their conduct
had been up to the standard.
After forming into line in camp the
two regiments were massed together
and the bands played snappy marching
tunes. Then the march toward the
station was begun, with General Hine
n his staff leading. There was an
informal review as the troops went
past the cottage. The general remains
in camp for another week.
The Essex Troop. of Newark. was
the first to open camp for the ending
week of the season. 1t was expected
frst the troopers would start on

the organization, this order being
changed by Captain William D, Bryant
because the regiment officers had the
steeds. The troop used a special train.
Troop B, with quarters in Red Tank,
was the second outfit to reach the
camp. The cavalrymen started from
their armory in the early morning and
made the journey by easy stages.
The Fourth Regiment, of Jersey City,
was among the early arrivals. This
command made the trip in a special
train of fourteen coaches. Colonel
Henry H. Brinkerhoff was in COM
mand.
Field Battery B, of Camden. did not
arrive this afternoon. The artillery
men believed it a good plan to make
an overland trip, similar to that taken
yearly by Battery A, of East Orange,
and will be encamped for the night on
the a
= six men were drummed out of camp
after being arrested by a detail led by
Lieutenant Krautbush, of Passaic.
They were civilians. who had been
-ounded up in a deserted barn In a
field of corn near the camp lines, sur
rounded by a Gordon of empty beer
bottles.
A freight car on the Sea Grit siding
containing bottles had been broken
into and considerable articles pur-
Joined. The guard was instructed to
make a search for the thieves, as 1t
was found that the stealing had
caused considerable confusion.
The men were intoxicated when ap-
pretended and brought into camp
under guard and given a trial. A
record was taken of their names and
all six were remanded. 1t was be-
lieved a complaint to the civil au-
thorities would entail time and ex-
pense, and the sentence of being
drummed out was imposed.
The closing dinner was given last
night by OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Z.
Edward Murray to General Hine at the
formers cottage. Those in the party
besides the general were Majors Alex
ander P. Gray. jr, Frederick w. Car
vim, Edward T. Moore, Charles e.. Bur
CESS, Isaac A. Hall, J. Talmage Wycoh.
S. Wood McClave and Charles H. Grant
and Lieutenants Walter R. Hine n
Arthur G.. Hoffman.
Many of the men are glad to get back
home, particularly because they did
not enjoy the allotment of rations. An
effort was made this year to have the
usual regular army supply handed out,
cut the salt air brought big appetites
and the ~guardsmen complained about
the quantity. A number of the cap
tains had Manasquan tradesmen stop
in camp daily to increase the supply.
Captain Martin Conboy, of East o.
ange, the new captain of Company l.,
Orange, was named officer of the day
In the Fifth's camp. 1t was his first as
%signnnent of this nature. First Lieu-
tenant Henry A. Woodhead, of Com
pany B, was his officer of the guard
and Lieutenant Herbert C. Bradley, Of
Montciair, Junior officer of the guard.
