training at Fort Ethan Allen, Ver-
mont. The boys are all in excellent
shape, the work in drilling and ath-
letics having put them in the best
OF form and the general display Of
healthy tan shows where many
hours were spent in the open, at
hard work.
The work this year was about the
same as usual, with the exception
that drilling in the afternoon was
cancelled and athletics were taken
up instead. These consisted of base
ball and pushball. Also every after

Champlain for a swim.
A feature of the trip was the
camping hike which took place last
Tuesday night and ended up the
next morning with a sham battle,
furnishing plenty of excitement for
the recruits.
Baseball took up much time dur
Ing the stay at camp. Seven games
were played, the losing team being
eliminated. Company G, from this
city lost their final game Thursday
afternoon to Millinocket with a
score of 1 to q. The boys showed
up well on the diamond and the two
teams from this state were easily
picked as the winners from the first.
Wateryille boys were in hopes to
win every game but deserve credit
for what they did accomplish.
Cash prizes amounting to $500 and
divided among five different compa-

well in the work. Captain S. Park
err Foss of Company G. stated last
night that he was very proud of
his company and that he was sure
that the boys have very promising
future. He plans next year to have
them in trim so that no other
bunch of soldiers will equal them at
camp. An outstanding quality of
the Waterville men in general, Cap-

which they went about their work
and play.
Several of the boys made a week.

and Sunday practically everyone in
camp had a sail around Lake Cham
plain last week. The weather was
hot and fair almost every day. there
being only two showers during the
| two weeks and these did not hinder
the regular camp routine. Albert
Ames, the Company G chef, received
worthy praise for the fine meals
which the boys enjoyed. About the
only disagreeahle part of the whole
trip was the return journey in the
regular passenger coaches. The
boys left camp at AIS p. NJ. Friday

morning at 7:15. with very little
