Camp Trumbull, Mantle, July 13 General George NJ. Cole Day, the second great event scheduled at Camp Trumbull, where members of the 169th regiment, C. \. G, have been in camp for the past two weeks, was as successful as the program on Governors Day, which event was proclaimed the greatest of the years the egcampments have been held.
 Since Brigadier General Cole will be retired when the next encamp- ment comes around. this was the last opportunity for the members of the regiment to pay tribute to him as commanding officer, and they did it in splendid fashion.
 The tribute was a brigade review, an event which is seldom held in honor of any person. The 169th regiment. C. x. G.. was on the right. the 11Sth regiment of engi- neers from Rhode Island was cen- ter, and the First squadron. 122th regiment cavalry was on the left. All three divisions were in mass formation and were lined up the entire length of the field. Then, led by the 169th infantry band, they marched in review before Gen. eral Cole and the mounted staff of officers.
