GOVERNOR DAY
fContinued from First PAGE !

the rear men would sweep forward,
while those in advance lay still and
kept up a constant fire on the -up-
posed enemy. In this manner q great
deal OF ground was covered The
cracking of the Springfelds was inces-
SAINT and as the lines of little Juffs Of
blue smoke arose from the grass, one
was forced TO wonder how any body Of
troops of equal strength, could with
stand such fire. All the while men
who had been tagged were falling
from supposed wounds. They were
cared for by the hospital corps and
the band, which has been detailed to
act with them. AS soon as man
'fell a member of the hospital corps
could be seen crawling to him His
wound whatever description il might
be was bandaged and the wounded
man was carried off the field to one Of
the shelter tents. There the extent Of
the injury was determined and medi-
cal and surgical treatment given.
After the advance lecture was
given to the field hospital by Major
Ramsey to the men Of both bat
talions.
The officers we're very much pleas
ed by the earnestness manifested by
the men in the advance work.
In the afternoon the two battalions
were again taken on the field where
they were put through open order
formations, rushes and given instruc-
ton i'm general by Lieut.. Hunt, U.
S. A. During these formations the
band marched with the troops and
its many lively airs added spirit to
the maneuvers.
Guard mount was held at 4.30 fol-
lowed by non-comission officers
school, and evening parade at 6.SO
o'clock.
The parade yesterday was by far
the best ever held at the camp and
the men showed great improvement
under Lieut.. Hunt who has taken
much interest in his work at the
camp and has given his individual
attention to a man whenever he
needed II.
Blazing nj Targets.
All the afternoon the men were on
the rifle range which are in charge
of Major Ramsay who feels very much
encouraged abe good showing made
by the new men, Last year 20 men

the present outlook this good record
will be shattered this year The Of

tice during the afternoon.
During the afternoon the hospital
corps engaged in a long letter drill
