AT CAMP MOSBY
REGIMENT WILL BE ON PARADE
THIS EVENING.
Canteen Has Started Up and Also the
General Courtmartial—Camp Notes
and Personals.
San Antonians can see the Fourth
Texas Infantry at Its best this after-
noon at 5:30 o’clock when it will go
forth on dress parade for the first time
since being stationed in this city.
Colonel Edmonds has not yet decided
whether to have the parade on the
parade ground in front of the grand
stand or on River avenue outside the
camp. On river avenue there is plen-
ty of room and the avenue
is smooth while on the parade
ground the weeds offer somewhat of an
impediment to the proper marching of
the men.
The excellent regimental band will
play at this formation and our citi-
zens can also have an oportunity of
hearing some choice music rendered
by a volunteer regimental band.
The general court-martial of which
Major Abe Harrison is president is
now in session in camp sitting daily
from 8 a. m. to 3 p. m. The board con-
sists of: Major Abe Harrison presi-
dent; Capt. Shelton F. Leake Capt.

judge advocate.
John M. Femister of company D has
been detailed as clerk for the court
and Privates Wm. F. Patterson of Co.
E; Sam Hodges of Co. K and Jere-
miah Boyer of Co. L. have been de-
tailed as orderlies and messengers.
The canteen was put in operation
yesterday under the supervision of
Lieutenant William C. Fitzpatrick
with Sergeant Board as steward. It
is situated under the grand stand and
is fully as popular as the Y. M. C. A.
tent.
The rush in the canteen this morn-
ing was something terrific and the
civilian bartenders could not possibly
accommodate the rush. Besides the
liquid refershmnets lunch cigars and
other articles of a like character are
served.
Cheese sandwiches were disappear-
ing this morning with military preci-
sion and dispatch.

office in the camp.

land the energetic lieutenant of com-
pany H has been detailed as quarter-
master for the regiment during the
absence of Lieutenant Crotty.
First Lieutenant and Adjutant
Spencer Hutchins is now comfortably
installed in his office temporarily
erected on the north gallery of the hos-
pital. The office is very comfortable
and much cosier than a tent.
William J. Pointer of company L
has been detailed as clerk to Colonel
Edmonds to assist Mr. 'Alvin Hender-
son. Mr. Henderson is private sec-
retary to the colonel and correspond-
ent of the the Galveston News.

established on the inside of the camp
ground by an enterprising individual
has been hustled outside and now
holds forth on River avenue in front
of the entrance to the camp. A res-
taurant in a temporary lumber build-
ing has also been established there.
In the stables where the horses were
formerly quartered are yet the names
of the animals. The stalls are being
cleaned out and floored for occupancy
and one of the officers this morning
suggested that Major Harrison be
assigned to a stall labeled Dynamite
as he thought it would be very appro-
priate as viewed from the average evil
doer's standpoint at least.
