The Light Guard drilled last evening and went through the formation of guard mount to Ret into shape for the annual encampment. The. officers made their first appearance in their new caps and blouses and made a tunning appear ance. The boys will leave for Inland Lake a week from Sunday and from present indications tbev will hare to leave here oo Sunday morning and lie over all night at St. Ignace instead of Marquette as heretofore. However, all the company and regimental officers whom this affects have sent in a kick against it and asked for a train to leave here Sunday evening, so as to catch the boat at St, lnace the next morning. The official time table says that they will leave on the morning train, and such will be the cane unlet some change is made soon. The members of the company to the number of firty or sixty will go to camp this year and perhaps a larger number will turn out. Everybody interested is already talking camp and a good time is expected this year. The Fifth Regiment band and the regimental officers sta tioned here will leave with the local company, and the band expects to have some new players accompany them on the trip. T. J. Kennedy, formerly a member of Company II, 3d Regiment, but now liv. ing here, was elected a member of the company last evening. l'lCKHE.NTKD WITH A WATl'M. Ex-Sergeant Will Macaulay, of the Cal umet Light Guard, is the happiest man in town today for various reasons. The boys of the company decided among themselyes that they would show their appreciation of his services and for the interest he has always taken in its well fare, and accordingly a committee was appointed to go ahead with the matter and they decided that a gold watch would be as suitable a present as any. Accordingly the watch was purchased and presented to the ex-sergeant by the lieutenants of the Guard, in the name of the entire company, last evening. It it a bunting rase watch, plain on one side and with the following inscribed on the other: ''lSSl, Presented to Sergeant Macaulay by Co. D, Cth Regiment, M. X. 0., 1806." Between the two dates signify the time the sergeant has served the State. Mr. Macaulay has requested the News to ex prcssjhis most sincere thanks to the boys and to say that the gift is one which he will always consider most precious, both from the real value of the watch and for thespirit in which it was given. To make his cup of happiness complete the popular ex-sergeant was presented with a bouncing baby boy early this morning by Mrs. Macaulay. The Georgia University Minstrels and Jubilee Singers who have made such a great impression throughout the East and in the cities on the coaet where they bave appeared, are billed for one perform ance at the Red Jacket Opera Ilouse. August, 12. As this is their first visit here, the mem bers are expected to establish a reputa tion that will always fill the theater on their return. This is an organization composed of educated colored men and women of recognised ability and talent as performers. Their singing is much above the average. There will bea novel first part, including the female members of the company, also four end men, a a double quartette, one of which the Sua nee River Quartette, has a national rep utation. There are a number of well known colored dancers and a colored ven triloquist that will please any audience. Tnese specialties are all new and nu merous. The performances will close with an entire new afterpiece, especially written and arranged for this company. Kearars .te. The sixth annuual picnic of the Kear sarge Sunday school will be held on Sat urday, August 13, at the park. At 1 o'clock the school, headed by the Kear sarge Cornet band, will parade through the principal streets of the city, and then march to the park. The public iscordial ly invited.

Xext Sunday afternoon, presiding elder John Sweet, of Calumet, will preach at Kearsarge. Music for the occasion will be furnished by a quartette from Calumet. The tarmers of this vicinity have had good crops this year, and managed to get the bay harvested before the recent rains. The Kearsarge band, with Mr. John Kline, of Allouex, for leader, has been re organized, and will furnish music for the Sunday school picnic. Colombian Comedy 4'ompa). C, If. Xewell's Columbian Comedy Company and Congress cf Comedians will rpend all next week in Calumet, giv ing a repertoire of popular, plays in a big canvas pavilion theater, which will be pitched at the corner of Kim and Seventh streets. In the company are su h nrtistsasj. Knox Gayin, the old-time favorite tweet nioger of Michigan; Mlsi Jennie I'latt. the charming prima donna, in late vocal se lections; the cute and clever little sou brette, Uracie Tyson, in new and novel songs and dances, with caU'iura and elec tric light effects, also Bruce Richardson, a clever comedian, who took Chicago by storm, and the Columbian Quartette. IVspite the cost of carrying an exhibi tion of this character around thernun try, the prices will be at popular figures, 10, 13 and 35 rents. Hllllard Coutest. Tropri-tor Ed Men, of the Mascot, has made arrangements with nearly all the local billiard players of any import ance for a tournament to commence about the middle of next week. The players are jdivided into first and second classes; those who use three balls are in the former, and those who use four balls in the latter. The prixes are two fancy cues, which arrived yesterday afternoon and which are beauties. They are now on exhibition at the Mascot. One will be given to the winner in each class. The contest has a routed a good deal of interest among our local billiard players and the outcome will be watched with considerable interest. It is desired that all who enter have their names on file by Tuesday as the contest will probably take place the following day. Tralua Delayed Again. The South Shore train was an hour late yesterday afternoon, and conse quently the mail was not delivered on time. The evening train was two hours late and the Mineral Range did not make connections, but came out on time and the mail did not come out until this morning. The delay was not the fault of the South Shore, and in fact most of the delays lately are occasioned, by delays on the trains out of Chicago, making the South Shore train wait for them in order to m.ke connections. A traveling man from New York remarked the other day that he had left that city on a train two hours behind time and reached Calumet one hour and forty-five minutes behind, the quarter of an hour being made up on the Mineral Range. Observed tha ew Ordinance. The bicycle ordinance lately passed by the village council, an outline of which was given in last evening's Nkvvs, does not go into effect for a month, so that riders will have plenty of timn to get in shape to obey it. However, the old bi cycle ordinance remuins in force until the other one takes its place. A couple of Red Jacket young ran se cured an "alarm," as the ordinance pre scribes, but it w as not a bell alarm, and went through the village streets last evening lustily blowing a finh horn that rivaled the tog whittle at the canal in yolume of sound.
