The pavement will be cleaned for the dance at 7 o’clock and it is requested that all traffic avoid going over this pavement, also that no cars park there. Committee in Charge. Eleven coaches All remained upright «except the mail and baggage coaches, which overturned. Many passengers camp. The company was mustered by Captain Jones of the 49th infan- try who has been with the company for the past ten days as instructor and inspector. His praise for the efforts shown by the members in mastering all drills was unlimited and his compliments to the company were well deserved for company K considering the length of time which it has been drilling is now in first class shape. It would without a doubt hold its place with any other ‘company in the Sixth regiment. Selected details made quick work of taking down the tents today and rolling them up in fine shape. Other details followed up and put the grounds in first class shape before leaving. Still quicker work was done by many of the members when the word “go” was sounded. Nearly all the members are back in the “civies” again this afternoon and are feeling better than ever before. They say there is nothing like the old civilian suit after you have been out of it for a few days. The company pay roll for the en- campment was signed last night and taken to St. Paul by First Sergeant Scherman, who was detailed here for that purpose. Payment will probably be received in time for the next drill night.
