Pay day, with all of it's joy for the
enlisted men, has meant greater work
for the force at Building rs and as a
result the sending of the money back
home in the form of express money or
ders has been the one objective during
the past week. Handicapped as we
We're by the loss of part of our force
for the time being, the results were
most gratifying.
The regular program for the week
was one of the best so far arranged.
Capt. j. Rice Smith opened the week
with a most sincere and witty address
to the men in which the fellows came
to know the loyalty and deep love the
South bears towards the Pennsylvania
men. If the captain could have his
way he would have the regiment mess
ing with him and the cooks would have
an easy life.
The Augusta entertainers, under the
direction of Mrs Battey, have continued
to please the men with their recita-
tons songs and selections. We always
have a good attendance on Tuesday
night.
AS the camp decided to economic on
the lights Wednesday night at about
seven in the evening, we We're forced
to postpone our movies until Thurs
day at which time a goOdly number
gathered around the screen for the
evening.
Friday was the big night amateur
night with all of the usual features,
barring the vegetables, as we needed
them for Sunday mess, was with us in
the form of ten acts. That is to say,
we had ten acts finally but four of
them fell through beforehand and had
to go to the hospital. Corporal Brack-
en- of Company G was the attraction of
the evening with his clog dancing in a
comical coon makeup. Credit is due
to PrivateBurkhardt of Troop d, who
assisted him. as we'll as Private Bod
domer of Troop d, with his splendid
cornet solos. Then there was Bisi,
of Troop T. who just went over the
worries as if he were gathering in pay
checks. Trainer Troop FL, kept the
boys singing after having favored
them with two tenor SoIOrS. Gibbon
of Troop G brought down the house in
his impersonation of a fellow at the
nvies. Zeigler, of Troop c, gave the
favorite Shooting of Dan McGrew, -
which was we'll received. All in all, a
good evening was had and from the
talent that we unearthed we shall be
able to have at least one amateur night
week for some time to come.
In the physical department things
are going along in great shape. a
complete baseball schedule has been
worked out and the final champion
ship between Troop L and A, showed
a great interest and keen rivalry.
yolley ball has been in many of the
company streets and over hundred
games were played this past week.
French classes are being organized
and the men seem eager to get what
they can of the language before they
go over. A class has been organized
for the officers as well.
With the return of DR. Lee, the re-
ligious work has taken an added i'm
petus and Bible classes viii be formed
in the companies this week. Regiment
al service for the First Cavalry was
held in the new building Sunday
AS soon as we have the lights, we
shall go into our new quarters perma-
nently, when we shall have ali depart
ments going in full swing.
