The day was bright and the soldier boys turned out early. During the morning and afternoon many organizations arrived and there was a constant bustle. There was perfect order, however, and matters began to work with clock-like, military routine. Headquarters was like a big ‘office, ail the officers of Gen. Augur’s staff belng busy pro- Viding for the army under their care. Chief Quar- KOE IE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS. termaster Wright spent the morning most of th time with his ear at the telephone trumpet and halfadozen telegrams in his hand. Out in the camp there were many bright and picturesque scenes about the camp, and many funny ones, too. Now and then a soldier making an early tollet af fresco Would find himself suddenly the center of observation of a good many eyes, feminine eyes, too, and, of course, Would beat a hasty retreat to his'tent. ‘The variety and brilllancy of the uniforms about headquarters gives color to a very Scene, Through the camp here and there State colors and richly tinted banners are flying. The picturesque uniforms of the Zouaves Sauntering about the camp and the decorations of some of the tents also add to the rich effects, ‘The National Rifles have their tents decorated with flags. MOIST TIMES. In some parts of the camp the ground was tn a somewhat swampy condition, owing to the flow of water from the supply pipes laid through the junds. Consequently 1n some of the streets, the laintily booted soldiers had to pick their way rather gingerly, and thelr lady visitors often got into interesting dilemmas by stepping upon what ‘seemed to be a solid green grass sward, but was in reality a mushy trap, ‘The camp was a magnet that drew every one yesterday, persons afoot, and persons in carriages, mothers with babes in their arms, young women, decked out in their Sunday finery, and willing to be ogled Justa little by bold eoldier bors leisurely and languld young men, fashionably attired, who, for the ceased to’cut much of a figure as lady-killers. ‘The military was in the ascendant. It wasa day of bustle and life. The lemonade stand and the peanut and banana men did a thriv- Ang business, despite the Sunday law. Crowds of people swarmed over the grass and curiously peeped into the tents and camp kitchens. Here ‘and there one would see a group, up largely ‘of women, lat and ‘the attempts: of some green hand to cook, the soldier boy would chaff back, and everything was good humored. ‘Toward evening the crowd grew in numbers, ‘Many of the visiting companies have extensive culinary departments attached to their sections of the camp. Some of the kitchens are large canvas The ‘cam art is of course, uy it person- aa Scuhe knows tteand shows tt, The camp [tchens are hung around with ed polish Utensils of all kinds known to the accomplished cook, ‘Phe bills of fare and the table service of somé of the companies are quite elaborate.

AN INTERMEDIATE PASSENGER'S STORY. Tom Egan, an intelligent young Irishman Just over, was an intermediate passenger on the Celtic. He Was standing on the bridge of the Celtic when, Uhe Britannic first came in sight through the dense fog. He sald to a reporter: “The Britannic was running at full and the Celtic very slow. When first seen the Britannic was heading to the starboard of the Celtic and without changing course would have scraped the side, The Celtic signaled and began to back water. The signal I understood to direct wing way tothe starboard. In doing this the Britannic turned across the Oel- c's bow, At first I thought she would clear us, she was going 80 fast, but a moment later It was apparent there would be a collision. Just before striking the Celtic veered to the right a little and struck back of the center of the Britannic, awful screaming of the women on board of the Britannic followed and men jotned in the notse, There Was not so much excitement on the Celtic, The captain of the Britannic called oul that the Doat was sinking.” cums Several other steerage passengers on the were spoken to, and ail said that the Britannic Was on the starboard side of the Celtic when first ‘seen, and would have cleared If she had given way to the port side.
