Rain fell during three consecutive days, but the camp dried up within a few hours of tho cessation of ruin. The camp is now dry except during showers, and was bone dry yesterday, Sunday. , "Only two cases of measles have occurred since the formation of the camp— one two days after the men went into camp, and the second, the day before yesterday. . Both were amongst men in the same tent, tho occupants of which were isolated when the first case occurred. , , .
