At the Officers' Mess
At supper we were the guests of
Major Beaman at the Officers' mess.
It was a special occasion we were in-
formed. Something just a little out
of the ordinary, a few special eats
etc., which takes place about once
a week. Col. Combe occupied a table
at the head of the niers. Tht., senior
facers were seated at a second table,
nd the junior officers °coupled a
hird. Two ladies were also guests
n this occasion. The Battalion band,
urnished some fine music during the
paeal. Whether or not we were han
ry ;after travelling all day, but we
ertainly did justice to what was on
he menu and the officers are to be
ongratulated on their cooks as they
erved a most appetizing meal.

With the I'rivates
Next to the oficerfs' mess is the
on -commissioned officers' mess and
lose to this is the Ptetse mess. We
ad an invitation to dine with the
ffioers during our short stay but
eclined the invitation with thanks
s we desired to see how the boys _Car-
d Consequently the following morn -
ng found as lined up with tee priv-
tes awaiting the morning rations.
s we came, alongside of the cook-
ouse, a dish or porridge, two large
ices of bread and butter, and. a
late of fried potatoes and bacon a-
aited as and we passed on into the
nt finding an empty seat at the tab
s. Each private takes care of his
vn knife and fork. Down the line at
tervals would slip from the pockets
the men a jar of honey, fruit, or
m that had come from friends. The
ttle extras are appreciated by the
en, and as one remarked "ther's
othin' like the little extras to top
meal off."
The Y. M. IC. A.
The Y. M. 0. A. maintained several
rge tents on the grounds. and this
sociation tilled a large place in the
