This is the only battalion at the camp that boasts of a'pipe band, and there is not a man in the battalion who is not proud of it. From the colonel down most of the men have been in the 59th Regiment, or at the least are Scotchmen, and that means they are fighters. Every day the battalion is given a parade around the grounds to the music of the band, and few units at "ie isd can equal the appearance. m was recent he 154th Battalion is made up of m who devote a great deal of at- tention outside of drill hours to sports.

Nothing has so pleased the men of the 146th Battalion so much as the big tent that was purchased by Lieut.-Col. C. A. Low for the use of his men. The immense stretch of canvas ig used both as a dining tent 'and for recreation purposes between meals and in the evening. The floor is divided into four sec- tions, and during meal hours these divisions are used respectively by "A" YB," "C," and "D" companies. Each company has a corner, and in that corner are nine tables at each of which are seated twenty-two men. Instead of the old plan of having the men parade to the cook-house for their food, and eat it in the open, the new plan is much bétter. The food is served by men detailed for the duty. The whole scheme car ried out more than any other one thing that has been done the idea that Col.
