SEA GRIT, July Interpretations
for the taking care oftthe First Reg
inaent. N. ]. N. g.. from Newark, and
their brother militiamen. the Firth
Regiment. from Paterson, for the
week beginning Saturday are going
rapidly forward and there is no DOUBT
that everything will be in readiness
for the reception of the men on sat
1rday. These Two regiments open
The season at the State camp here.
Superintendent William cramer,
who is in charge Of the reservation,
has a large force of workmen under
him and is keeping them to their
work from early morning until night
The tented city will stretch over a
large area. owing to two regiments
being encamped at once, ana II Is
expected that a record Tor NlsltoIs
uill be made during the week.
Brigade headquarters will be To-
Gated in the usual place, just south
of the bend in the camp drive anu
on a line with the tents of the stan
officers and the cottage Of Quarter
MASTER General {. Edward Murray.
The instruction officers will also Dc
auartered in this line. The tents nave
been put up by the camp workmen'
The officers of Governor Ffelders
star will have their tents In the GUS
tomary place. between the executive
mansion and the quartermaster-gen
erals cottage. The newspaper ana
telegraph tents will be placed on the
camp drive just west OF the brigade
headquarters.
The work of erecting the sanitary
cooking tents was commenced last
week. These tents are unique crea-
- ahCnhfTa NPnfi-
lation for the cooking apartments
without danger from infection from
flies or other insects. They are shaped
Ike the ordinary tents but are merely
frames, built of stogt lumber and
covered over with wire of mesh
fine enough to prevent access of any
vermin. A common tent wing covers
the roof.
There is one cook tent to each regi-
mental company. the officers eating in
the main mess hall south of the camp
proper They are all strung along
the drive end of the company streets
and are always a source of entertain
ment, with their negro cooks and

swarm into the camp.
Detraining from their special trains
al nhe Sea Grit station. about 2:S0
Saturday afternoon, the troops will
form in solid formation and march
to camp. In passing the executive
mans ion they will be greeted by Gov
ernor Fielder and his staff from the
yeranda of the Little White House.
The tentage and camp equipment
will all be brought by special train
and the troops viii themselves do the
work of pitching camp. There is al
ways a merry rivalry between the
regiments in the speed with which
the camps can be made and the fact
that there will be two regiments mere
al the same time VIII stimulate in
terest in the race.
Owing to their late arrival and the
time to be consumed in making
camp, there will be no drills on Sat
urday They will be out for the GUS
tonary drills and parade on Sunday
and dress parade will be witnessed by
Governor Fielder and his staff as
usual.
While the maneuver work for the
week has been pretty thoroughly de-
cided upon conference of the off,
GERS and instructors will be called
probably on Saturday or Sunday
night for the purpose of perfecting
plans for the entire week.
OF course the big maneuyer over
the ground of the historic battle of
Monmouth will be the big problem of
tbs whole week. This will call for
two days bivouac in the vicinity OF
Tennent. where will be fought over
again the bloody fray of the revolu-
ton. How the troops are to be di-
yided has not been determined. but
it Is likely that the regiments will
oppose each other technically.
On Monday night Governor Fielder
will entertain the superior officers
and the members of his staff at din
ner in the Little White House, as has
been the custom in the past
While there appears to he a mixup
in the date for the visit of Secretary
of War Lindley NJ. Garrison, Gov
ernor Fielder has arranged to enter
tain him on July "a at the time of the
first Governors day celebration. If
the matter is Strengthened out and
July "A is found to be the date for
the inspection visit of Secretary Gar
rison, the First and Fifth Regiments
will parade before him during the
afternoon.
