FORT SKATER. April 9.-First 1t.
Leo c.. Mudd, medical corps, who ar
rived from the states by the last
transport, has been assigned to duty
as post surgeon at Shafter and has
proved welcome addition to the gar
rison. At present Lieut.. Mudd is quar-
tered in the row of tents that the
crowded condition of the post as to
officers, quarters has made necessary
to erect. This condition is highly UNI
fortunate, and there seems to be no
relief In sight, as no funds for addi-
tional quarters have as yet been al
lotted 1t is known, however, that es
Inmates for such funds have been for
warded. The shortage of quarters
has caused a number OF officers TO
seek homes in Honolulu Among
those are ieuts. Ball, Hoffman, Foster,
Edgerley and Lieut.. FredendaIl To
this list will probably be added Lieut..
Mathews and his family, who are re-
turning from leave of absence by the
transport that sailed from San Fran
cisco April 5. Captain d. w. Cham
berlin is also returning from an ex-
tended leave by the same boat, but
will probably choose quarters in the
post.

Lieut.. Turner TUNED in the low
score of the match making Is holes
in 102, with Captain Lincoln and Lieut..
f0naseeRd sflaee with
185. The courtesy tot MI. Damon in
placing the really line course at the
disposal Of the public is much appre-I
ciated, but the tees are sadly in need
OF repair at present, their surfaces be-
ing badly worn and affording but in
different footing when making the
opening strokes. Therefore, while it is
perhaps expecting too much of Squire
Damon to keep his private links in
perfect condition for public use, it is,
nevertheless, greatly hoped by all the
many golfers who frequent Moanalua
that some improvement in the tees
will be made.
Lient. and Mrs. Fredendall of the
Second Infantry have returned from a
leave of three months that was spent
in a journey to the Philippines, where
a visit was made with Lieut.. Freden-
dalTs parents in Manila. In addition
the southern islands and viewed once
again the former stations of the Sec
ond in that part of the archipelago.
An effort is being made to revive the
baseball spirit of this garrison. First
Sergeant Walsh and other fans are
back of the movement and it is great
ly hoped that a good team may be or
ganized and engage in games with
other regimental teams. If such men
as Kibbe, Stircqueile, Kelly, Krebs
and Easter will turn out strong
team can be built up. 49,
The Second Infantry orchestra has
been rejuvenated by Capt. w. r. Glib
son, adjHtant of the regiment, and
will play for the next informal hop of
the garrison and thereafter will re-
place the band at all similar occa-|
siors, much4to the pleasure of the
dancers. II.
Chaplain and Mrs. Pruden have de-
ferred their departure on a long leave
until the May transport.
