.men of the
inspection they underwent last year, in a patile-s rain,
the day of inspect en being the only one which was not
favourable for training. Fortunately, however, the
rain, which descended eanewhai heavily in the morning.
waned about 11 o'clopit, cad from that time the
weather continued to improve, bat still it was
