Richardson to u spot on the side of a i'l covered with rocks of various sizes ■nd with briar bushes and heavy undergrowth. In making room for he tents it wos necessary to remove :ho stones from the ground and they were piled up around the base of a -nail tree. The shrubbery and trees cut down burned and in a short time a comfortable camp was estab lished for men and horses. The troop remained at Mount Gretna until July 7. when it was moved to Camp Alger, ! \'a.. thence to Newport News, Va„ and by vessel to ihj city of Ponce, Porto, Rico. After piling the stones loosely at the foot of the trees the men in their eisure moments squared the pile into symmetrical shape ann many of them, with hammer and chisel, cut their names or Initials on the different -tones, with the name of the troop and of its commander and his lieutenants an the largest boulders. On leaving Mount Gretna for the t South the branches of the tree in the center of the pile were cut off, making a slender flagstaff about thirty feet high, to which the troopers nailed an American flag, which floated there until blown away, and somebody cut down the tree. When the Hotel Conewago was built in 1909 the contractor, not knowing 'he historic value of the marker, tore it down and used the stones in the foundations under the building. Later (he hotel owncis, in order to rectify the mistake as fully as was possible, had the sandstone shaft shown on the lower right built in its place. Since the photograph of that marker was taken a bronze tablet con taining a complete roster of 103 officers and enlisted men of the war troop has. iie»n placed on the face of the shaft. Of the members of the present Gov- ) ernor's Troop of the First Pennsylva nia Cavalry in the call for Mexican I service two were in the Spanish War as members of the command—Captain George C. Jack, who was a sergeant. | and First Lieutenant Edwin A. Nico-1 demus. who was commissioned as sec- i ond lieutenant. Location of Camp of Governor's Troop of Cavalry Mount Gretna. Pa.. June 26.—8e- ' tween S and P. 30 o'clock yesterday morning the twelve troops constituting th" First Regiment of I'nited States Volunteer Cavalry, of which the Gov ernors Troop, of Harrisburg. is part, arrived at Camp Brumbaugh. The regiment is located at the extreme northern end of the great camp ground and in fact is outside of the regular limits of the State reservation. Camp is pitched in a field Just across the road from th«* little town of Colebrook. «irobably a half, mile or so from the "®.ocation of the Fourth Brigade of In fantry, with which the Eighth Regi ment of Infantry (including Com panies D and I. of Harrisburg) is con nected. The cavalrymen are only a short distance from the Colebrook sta tion on the Lebanon and Cornwall! railroad. The Governor's Troop arrived shortly before P o'clock, but did not get its canvas and camp equipage from the railroad siding until about 2 o'clock. Before dusk, however, they had their camp erected, tents occu pied. cook fires burning and all ar langements possible made for the com fort of the eighty-two officers and men of the command. Lack of horses is a serious lncon \enlenee and handicap to the cavalry men, as they have their entire kit of horse equipment to take along wher- 1 ever the troop goes.

This is the first time the troop has been sent to a camp of any kind die- , mounted. In 189S horses were taken, alone to Mount Gretna, but were later j shipped back to Harrisburg and re- ' placed by animals bought by the I Cnited States government. Horses will be supplied by the quartermaster's de- ' partment for this service, but it is not yet known whether they will be given to the cavalry regiment at Mount ! Gretna or at some point along the Mexican border. The officers and men of the troop I were glad to get under canvas at the i camp, as soldier life in the armory j soon becomes monotonous. Points of Interest About Governor's Troop Personnel The only members of the present j Governor's Troop who served in the ' command in the Spanish War. eighteen years ago, are Captain George C. Jack and Lieutenant Edwin A. N'icodemus. Both enlisted in 1891—Captain Jack I on February 13 and Lieutenant Nico-! deinus on October 20 of that year. I Captain Jack was a sergeant when the troop went to Mount Gretna in April. 1898, and served during part of the time as first sergeant of the troop. He was appo-nted sergeant-major of the cavalry squadron. After the return | 1 of the troop to State service in 1899 Captain Jack served as first sergeant and second lieutenant and in 1910 was elected captain. Lieutenant Nico- j demus was hospital steward in the troop until the Spanish War, when he was elected second lieutenant. After < the return of the troop to State service he , was appointed first lieutenant and assistant surgeon of the troop by Cap- ' tain Frederick M. Ott. In 1910 he was elected fir.=:t lieutenant. Second Lieutenant George W. H. | Roberts enlisted in the troop in 1900 and served in all the lower grades , until 1910. when he was elected second I j lieutenant. Lieutenant Nicodemus is an expert rifle shot and is recognized as one of the best rangemasters and instructors ' in small arm.? practice in the State. ! Lieutenant Roberts is also a notable 1 rifle shot and has made some exceed ingly high scores at State matches at Mount Gretna lifle range. Lieutenant Edgar C. Hummel is , here with the Second Squadron of the First I'avalry Regiment as its quarter | master. Lieutenant Hummel is the only one of the original members and organizers of the Governor's Troop in 1888 who is still in active service. He served In the troop from 1888 to 1910, when he was aipointed squadron quar termaster by Major Frederick M. Ott and continues in that position under i Major J. V. Cunningham. A number of men who have served in the troop in previous years have re-enlisted for this campaign and are now In camp. Beside the sixty-five regularly enlisted and uniformed men of the troop fifteen recruits were broueht along to camp, making a total of eighty enlisted men under canvas and sworn into the United States service at this time. Twenty more re j cruits have been enrolled at the troop armory at Harrisburg and are being held there In charge of Lieutenant Nicodemus until arrangements can be made by the I'nited States Army officers for tneir proper accommo dation and equipment at the camp here. Those recruits who came with the troop yesterday morning were: Earl E. Aurand. Harrisburg. Fred I. Brenisholtz. Harrisburg. Bert M. Craig, Harrisburg. Daniel J. Crowley. Steelton. Charles Davidson.
