MILITAKY CAMfd.
Accomtnoilntlonn For tl-c Snltllvr
Horn nt the Pnn-Ainerleuii nionl
tlon. Many military organizations Intend
to visit the Pun-American Exposition
during the summer. Arrangements
have been made to provide first class
accommodations for them.
The Exposition will mnlntnln a per
manent camp within the grounds for
the accommodation of about 200 men
at one time.
This camp will be pupplled with
tents floored, cots, buckets, basins, pint
cups, light, water and sinks, for the
use of which no charge will bo made.
It will be necessary for visiting organ
izations to furnish their own blankets
and subsistence.
There will be no accommodation for
cooking In this camp, but the visitors
will no doubt be able to make satisfac
tory arrangements with restaurants on
the grounds at reasonable rates.
It is expected that organizations tak
ing advantage of these camp privileges
will, nt such time ns may be agreed
upon beforehand, give military exhibi
tions without charge in the Stadium.
Bauds In uniform .will be admitted to
the grounds free. Organizations using
this camp will pay one general admis
sion per man when they enter the
grounds nnd must bo governed by the
rules nnd regulations laid down by the
Exposition Company.
On account of the largo number of
organizations now applying for camp
facilities at the Exposition the use of
this camp will be limited to a period
not exceeding six days for any one or
ganization. Largo bodies of troops visiting the
Exposition must be quartered outside
the grounds, where a large camp for
this purpose has been established.
Major Charles J. Wolf Is In charge of
the Military Bureau, and he Is kept
very busy these days furnishing lufor
mntlon to organizations lutendlng to
visit tlie Exposition.
