O 0o P3 42 129 W DURKHAM REVIEW. Sergt. J. Fields of Fleshertom, uow on his 20th trip to Camp, and has nevet lost a drill or parade through sickness or any other cause. Staif Sergt Weber, Vandeleur, is bere, who can point to 34 yre, of service, and 2202 Camp meetings with an equally good record as to health, &¢. Sergt. W. Clark, Max well is another with 2 years record and this should take away the fear on the part cf some as to their ability of standing the strain of drilling. Few if any in No 4 Co. can peint to such long terms, but they are working up; the writer‘s exâ€" perience extends to 10 years. We bhad a cold sail across the lake and rather windy, but a welcome seems to lie for us in the historic column on Queenston heights, in the antique Fort Mississauga, and the memones that cluster round the town and river of Niagara. In marching into Camp the Regiment, (not Battalion now) was inspected by the new D. O. C., Col. Peters. and his deputy adjutants. Rather soon to be at it, and if we did not make much of a show, just wait for a week or so and we promise better things. Onur Regiâ€" ment has its usual officers : Col. Telford, Majors Campbell and Rorke, Adj. Sproule, Qr,â€"Master McCallum, Surgeon Oldbam, Paymaster Kent and all seem keenly alert to their duties, I must close in the meantime, the bands are at present regaling us with 1 must bands are vpatriotic Bde Camp, Niagara, June 17th, 1900. 8.30 a, m.â€"During divine service all the reg‘ts massed in the form of a square near the old buildings which constituted the barracks in the olden times. â€"I am writing comfortably in a camp tent, the adjutants, where I do the most of my work,. To see the reg‘ts massed in their red and others in black tunics and to hear the music of the massed bands in familiar hymns, is something never to be forgotten though it is looked upon by ceitain parties, as a daring piece of sarcasm for some reg‘ts to be marching to the tune of + ‘Onward Christian Soldiers." Of course it is always some other Reg‘t. This Camp is, as usual, the boest yet truthfally enough,. We are allowed to go around in our gray shirt sleeves and straw hbats, a great improvement on our baving to wear as formerly, our serge jackets and helmet, and then again the manner of dining is changed instead of eating from your knees, or perbaps from the ground, the men haye now seats and tables on which to eat their meals. The manuer of cooking also is imâ€" proved, instead of the open kettles to eatch ashes or anything that may be flying around they have large sized cans, 40 gals capacity or over, in which they place the articles to be eooked, these are connected by steam pipes from a small upright boiler, the: evoking is done for the whole Reg‘t at the one place, not so many cooks required, a great saving on rations and on wood. The target practice is much the same as last year, "Morris tubes" inserted in the Lee Enfield and shootâ€" mg a small 22 calibre, it is much cheaper than shooting the regular cartridge, there Is much disatisfaction felt with it though. There are no means of telling where you strike the targets either, so one is rambling all over the targe» finding out where you are going. I was not down with the boys trom Durham so can not give ou theirscore it any was kept, tho‘ Â¥hear some did very good shooting. Another feature and which gives us a distant idea of warfare is the continâ€" ued rastle of musketry, which we hear from the Mississauga commons more than I% miles off, where some Reg‘t or other is always to be found practicing yolley firing by halt comâ€" panies and advancing for 50 or 100 yds, firing again, and so on at the word of command : some of the missiles find a watery grave 3 miles out in Lake Ontario, while others haye been :&en to strike ground about 50 yds. Our boys had some previons practice volley firing with blank cartridges, which would result in some benefit if they honestly strove to take aim at some or any distant object, but*there are always some who are careless and indifferent, raise their rifie, shut their eyes and bang away. There is talk of an excursion to the falls on Wednesâ€" day afternoon. There are some this afternoon every hour from the wharf to (QJueenston thence by Electric cars to the falls for 50c and return. A great crowd will be taking it in. We were inspected on the field yesterc‘l::{ (that is the Regiment) by Lt. e Aylmer and Col. Foster besides Lt. Col. Peters and 5 or‘6 others all in khaki except Foster who was in rifle Notes from the Niagara Camp.

They pay greal attention â€"to the little details, of having blankets piled just so, all piles to be in a line tolds out, tents rolled up, only one tent in our Regt. right done up. It is a periect piece of bumbuggery paying such attention to little matters and letting other and more important matters go as they may, such as saniâ€" tary matters, the Latrines being an abomination, and what would be more needtul should ever it be required, is more rifle practice. They are taken to the butts, told to ‘"bhurry up another co‘y will be here in such a time, get through with it." ‘The men haye to hurry, get rattled and careless, and so fire away as fast as they can manipuâ€" late the breech block, thus the most essential point is neglected and skimmed over. The regiments are coming back from Diyine service of $ of an hour duration, playing *‘Bonnie Dundee." It always appears to me as the greatâ€" est profanity of anything in camp, . the desecration of the Sabbath. ‘The ‘wheesht laddie, dinna whustle the day, this is Sunday" of our earlier years, lives forever, of course there are some things just as bad as this done. but it seems different somehow. The men are in from Church parade so I have changed my location. The church bells of Niagara and of Youngsâ€" ton are pealing their invitations and memory takes me back to the ‘‘Sabâ€" bath bell" in Haddington. Scotlana. but amid how different associations ! There all calmness, here, tooting of bugles, commands of officers, Joud and flippant talking, &e, &e. IJCGREAT REDUCTION ... PE o e pnp oo oi sup â€" Mrs Robt Ector, is visiting her daugh ter in Greenoch this week. I took a trip across to Youngston and and up to Lewiston on the American side, a lovely country, healthy orchâ€" ards and no marks of San Jose seall. Cherry trees, fruit about ripe planted on the streets, no fences, cow byâ€"laws being enforced. From Lewiston a fine view can be had of the Heights and the moument, which stands out so bold and so challenging. Pay muster this morning (Monday), our pay sheets were finished yesterâ€" day, from this out my work is practiâ€" cally over. The total pay of the 31st Regiment is $3220.40 for all ranks, This includes transport allowances for men‘s and officers baggage, but not railway or steamboat fare.
