Editor OF Timesi
Dear Siri
In this letter will try 10 give a de.
scription of the different amusements
that we have here. You will no doubt be
surprised 10 know that we have moving
pictures on the field. But nevertheless IL
is fact, and very good shows are given
every evening. Every Saturday night We
have vaudeville show with the pictures.
Last Saturday, the 22d, in the cool OF the
evening before the pictures we're shown,
we had four boxing matches. The per.
sons taking part were boys from Yer
mont, Maryland, Kansas and the 30th
U. s. A. infantry.
This proved 10 be a very exciting and
Interesting program. The ring was roped
off and stood about four feet above the
audience before the moving picture
screen. But this is only one form of
amusement. We also have various sports
on our streets such as boxing wrestling
and singing TO the tune Of field organ
that belongs to Company | boys, a pres
ent to them from the Estey Organ COM
nanv of Brattleboro. We also have read
ing rooms made of bamboo. The natives
call this plant "river cane" II grows to
the height of from eight 10 ten feet, look
ing like large field corn but OF a very
tough nature. The room has two very
large rooms with tables and benches so
one can read and write.
On the hottest days houses built of
this material are very cool, as the suns
rays do not penetrate these leaves, and
the wind filters through the cane, giving
of the prettiest sights | ever saw, the
Texas moonlight nights. The sky is clear
and has a deep blue color. The moon
light is very bright; when the moon is
full it is almost as bright as day. In |
fact. often read my papers, The Times, |
after taps by moonlight with ease.
The food here is very good. Yesterday, |
Sunday, July %, we had for dinner, meat |
and potatoes, macaroni and cheese, pud-
ding and pineapple sauce and coffee. We
often have iced coffee or tea Tor meals.
We are more comfortable now, as we
have our cots to sleep on, New clothes
have been issued to us since we came
here, from head to foot. We have plenty
IF everything but money.
Yesterday Colonel Reeves gave us a
yery interesting and instructive address,
followed by an address upon Freedom"
~ our chaplain, Thomas Both parties
proved to be very good speakers and their
alks were enjoyed very much.
1t still continues to be hot, but with
,ur new shower baths we are able to !
tand it much better than at first. We
we're vaccinated for smallpox last Thurs
lay, having taken the typhoid serum
ONE time ago. There is practically no :
ickness in camp and all are happy.
Wish everyone who has friends or rela
ives in camp here would write, as the ;
oys look forward to the mail, and much !
xcitement is shown when it comes here. !
he boys receive many packages from =

ats" or a reading of the papers. =

ount OF my first night in Eagle Pass. /

The Eagle Pass Evenings.

Eagle Pass, lex, july 20, 1910.
Editor of Times;
/ Dear Sir:
/ will. as / promised, give you my ex-
periences in Eagle Pass. ] was allowed
to leave camp with two friends at $3.50
on Saturday, July Is, 1915. The camp Is
only about 20 minutes walk to the main
street. The streets here are much like
our home town, but all one hears spoken
is Spanish.
1t seems very queer to us to see the
large mansions of the more prosperous
citizens, while all around them are hud-
died the novels Of the poorer class. All
the white citizens seem able to talk
Spanish. The stores seem to make good
profits, as they charge about twice the
amount for goods that we were in the
way of paying at home.
We went down to the international
bridge. This bridge crosses the Rio
Grande, joining Eagle Pass with the Mex
lean city, Piedras Negras. There is
guard on this bridge night and day. We
were not allowed to cross the bridge more
than half way so we went over to visit
Fort Duncan which is near the bridge.
This is where our bakery and base hos
pital are. A Barre boy is working in the
bakery here-Thomas Sibley. He has
been working here since we arrived and
is liking it.
After this visit we went strolling on
the back streets like the pen sketches
which [ drew on the spot. 1t is very
Oriental and dreamy here at night, as
from every house or backyard one can
hear the guitar or mandolin. On pass
ing one house. we heard music and went
behind the house into yard. A dance
was taking place It was the dreamiest
music / ever heard. After the music
stopped, there was no noisy applause like
hall. The dancers kept Walking
arm in arm until the music started an
other dance. / have drawn a picture of /
this spot, No l.
When it grew dark, they hung barn
lanterns all around and danced until
ate hour.
The nights are very pleasant and cool.

No one seems to work here. as most of
he Mexican people sleep all day and then
lance or sing at night.
After leaving the Ounce, we went down
