Noone dared venture to Predict what kind of weather would be experi- enced before nightfall, For several days members of the committee of management have had their ‘hearts gladdened by bright mornings, only to be saddened about 4 o'clock by rain storms, that have had a disastrous effect on the exchequer of the committee, Yesterday afternoon again a portion of the program was not carried out, as the rain prevented. ‘The soldiers assembled for dress purade beat a hasty retreat, Last night, however, crowd ofseveral thousand people—the largest crowd of the week—witnessed the pyro- rama performance at the drill ground, ‘The storms that have occurred have appeared as rule just at the hour, when the committee did not want them. RUNNING TO COVER. The camp presented a bright scene this morn- ing. ‘There were many visitors, Companies and battalions going on drill were getting ready for in- spection and their movements added life to the ‘scenes of the camp. Headquarters was as usual, like a busy hive. Orderlies were constantly ar- riving or departing and the staff officers were at work inside, looking over reports or formulating orders. TO-DAY'S ORDERS. Among the orders issued to-day besides the regular orders of the day, making detalie, &c., were the following: “The surgeons of all com- mands in camp are directed to assemble at 3 o'clock p. m, to-day at the tent of the surgeon-in- chief near juarters.” “Officers who fail to report details made from their companies will be deemed guilty of a viola~ Uon of the rules and orders of the camp, and will thereby fortelt their right toany prize tley might win.” ‘THE HEALTH OF THE CAMP. Dr. Hamilton E. Leach, the surgeon-in-chiet of ‘the camp, stated to a SraR reporter to-day that the health of the camp had been remarkably Sood. ‘The fickness that haa occurred had been such as, : among a large num! 2g eugene ate { suddenly changed. ‘There had been no sickness reported due to the dam| in camp following therains. Dr. J, RK.

When men tosick call if. their condition requires hospital treatment they are sent to the Red Cross Hos. pital. ‘This afternoon Surgeon-in-Chiet Leach Will meet all the camp surgeons, and with them make an inspection of the hospital and of the sanitary condition of the camp. ‘THEY DID NOT BAT. Mr. Kearns, the caterer who bought the restau- ‘ant privileges in the €amp, paying $2500 for it, came prepared to feed several thousand men every day. | He was, he says, guaranteed that he should feed 2,000 a day, or furnish 6,000 meals. As it has turned out, however, most ‘of the cominands in camp provide for themselves, and Mr. Kearns has not had to feed more than 500 or 600 a day. He {told a Stax reporter to-day that his receipts would not pay his help. He has 120 waiters, besides a large force, of cooks and other employes. ‘Mr. Kearns has pald only $1,250 of his bonus. ‘The other wag due to-day, but he has postponed pay- ment until he can have an understanding with ‘the committee in regard to the guarantee made to THE ZOUAVE DRILL. ‘The competition drilis by the Chicago Zouaves and the Memphis Merchant Zouaves yesterday af- ternoon were unusually interesting, although Rot so fancy as the song and dance drill of the Keck Zouavesas exhibited on Tuesday.
