Fitz; Cleveland Cobb and other well- known New Yorkers, were busy with stubby-handled little shovels digging trenches along the company street: and bAween tents—not the bra trenches for protection of riflem from enemy fire, but common or gar- den water ditches to guard against the possibility of another inundation such as made the camp a sticky hor- ror for everybody Monday night.

Cleaning shoes has ‘been Impossible until to-day except by the primitive method of scraping off the thickest deposits of mud with @ keen edged stick and polishing the resultant smear with glass, leaving a fine grayish surface to bake off in biisters in the welcome heat of the sun, Young men who would take a taxi for the nearest hotel bootblack if a spot of mud as big as a dime spattered on their shoes, have been going around with feet and legs which would disgrace a “hard rock man," coming to the surface from his day work. The medical inspection had dis- closed no bad results from the sonk- ing weather to which the unhardened recruits have been subjected.

Th will be another inspection before the six-day hike and battle practice, which ends the camp, to learn whether the men's feet have been sufficiently hardened by the three weeks of camp marching to enable them to stand the strain. There were signs of a battle not on| ho instruction programme during the day yesterday with Major Harrl- son Hall, commander of the Platts. burg Barracks and former instructor of the New York newspaper men's training corps as the leader of the Federal forces. The army men are building a road and putting up per- manent buildings for the later camps in the fields west of the State road. By its contract the City of Platts. burg pays ¢! ental of all lands re- quire: all damages done by the student sol- diers and the garrison to property and growing crops. A canny farmer who has in the past hired many farms about the city observed the preparations for the new addition to camp early yesterday. He has tened to the proprietor and took a leawe on the land for crop. growing purposes. Then, with his whiskers flowing over his shoulders, he gal loped up the road with a plough which bounced and skidded on its wide over the macadam, ripped out a section of fence and awiftly ploughed six shallow furrows, barely cutting the sod along one corner of the fleld.
