The parade for itanotio3 took place, warding to
orders, at 11.15, and the battalion very qelekly marched
into the adjoising field, where the march peat took
plass. The men were formed into line, open order,
and at 12 &sleek mainly. Colonel Rankin, RE , the
reviewing officer, rode es to the emend, and ern
received with the g I 'elute. They then wheeled

reworked to Colonel Hansel that they Ind marched
Peet IA Winder oulenau very well indeed. Msjor
Matthews next put the mee through tbe manual aad
sing enrolees, which were ieeii g,ma through.
The battalion then prenwled to the larger field where
the chief drill. had been Lad, when various battalion
movements were gone through, and there was come
capital akirmithing practice from different alignment".
Square was formed at the Won, and Colonel Hathey
riding into the centre, said he wished to say • few
words to the battalion reaproting their drill. He was
very glad to have the opportunity of mating the
arqusintance of the Ders,t battalion of voluntaert, and
he greatly approved of what he had nen. The
general physique of the men was eseallent—they
looked strong, hardy, and elle to g 0 through • greet
deal of fatigue. He wee a very honest officer, awl be
was an old one. He did not thick the men woold
thank one for sayer everything they did was perfeet,
or that he had never net • better regiment, for they
would know that could tot be tun. He wished to
give them hie candid opinion that they might guard
against midakea In the future. • wren deal of the
marehing put depended upon the caws, by whom
the distances of east company had to b. kept- Unites
the companies were kept nehilstrot the own

expect men to marsh peat so well on grass
is on • Lard road, bonuse they amid not
bear the treed. The zwohlag pant .111 very coedit.-
ble, however ; sn in qurter solemn eseeediogly good.
The fi ing and general aurthinesti were gesendly very
well performed. lin he wee ve.7 sorry there was
not. larger number present, as be bad been led to
expect a moat stronger regiment, and he hoped they
would be mesh more nu moron" next year. He %I odors:oat
that then were other attention in Dorset, but he wee
sorry for P. There wes one thing that wee very im-
portant to soldiers whether regular or irregular. and
that was that they should keep skin Wen* in the
nuke as unless they did tide they amid opt hear the
commands of their ofileers—'.very man whether gent •
or simple should make op hie mind to this. Huy of
them were youthful but it was Important that in all
macosevres nab should know the distanoe of his front,
that when deploying aid they bed the command "halt,
front, drew up." they would come up in line In their
right pluses. The distance should b. ennui!, judged
by the Ayers so as to give the word immediately the
last maa of the nest company same up. This wee
very important, as very mush time was otherwise Int
in dressing the regiment. Those were the few ;mints
that bad nourrel to him. (Colonel Hansel: We are
very much ob.iged to you) On the whole, he warn very
much gratified by what he had seen ; he only regretted
that Oars was not a greet many mole present, and
bend that next year they wenld have a larger gather-
ing and equally fine weather.
The battalion then returned to the clamp, the cam.
poles marching off in 'nonunion to their own lines,
where they were dlamiseed.
During the marching put the ground was kept
in the tiaras:age artillery easier Lana. Arbon and
