The Encampment Ended.
The Third Regiment encampment
at Liudley park ended last night and
this morning's trains are crowded with
troops homeward bound. The encamp-ment
was a success iu every particular
and the visitors leave with the pleas-antest
recollections of Greensboro. The
presence of a company from the regu-lar
army added much to the pleasure
and instruction of the state milita. The
daily drills attracted thousands of visi-tors
to the park and every feature of
camp life seemed to interest the crowds.
Good order prevailed throughout the
week and there were no unfortunate
incidents to mar the pleasure of soldier
or civilian. The commanding officers
of the regiment are an extremely clever
set of men, while the rank aud file
measures up to a high standard.
Greensboro undoubtedly had the best
drilled company in the regiment,
while a Greensboro boy, Mr. Phil Har-die,
won the gold medal iu the com-petitive
drill. The regimeutal band,
from Reidsville, received much praise.

the greatest gratification.
