41,4,
On Thursday, for the first time for t\ .45
the second time for more than six years, h, J zr7
a formal visit to the camp at Aldershot. erst* rift, s
now just about two years ago, was to presentcelounTro
the 31st Regiment, to which her Majesty, as Princes.;
Victoria, had given colours many years before. On that
occasion there was a good deal of ceremony, and the camp
was full of troops, which gave materials for an imposing
martial display, which . were made the most of. This
time, however, there was no review; merely what ie
termed a full-dress parade and march past, and
nothing more. Still, the mere fact of her
Majesty visiting the camp after so long an absence,
gave the liveliest satisfaction to all at Aldershot, for these
Royal visits, no matter how formal, exercise the best in-
fluence on both officers and men, who take pride in the
slightest mark of their sovereign's personal interest. No
review was attempted—first, because her Majesty's visit
was only intended to be -very brief ; and, secondly, because
the exigencies of Fenianism and other causes have thinned
down the camp, so that its usual winter strength of 14,000
or 15,000 men has been reduced since last autumn till
there are now little more, all told, than 7,000 men at
Aldershot. Less than 5,000 men were under arms on
parade on Thursday, for the duties connected with a fixed
camp are as extensive as they are various, and camp
guards, sentries, non-effectives, and men to keep the review
ground absorbed more than a quarter of all the force
stationed at Aldershot on Thursday.

ills Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, accom-
panied by Prince Teck, and attended by the head-quarter
staff, arrived early at Farnborough, where they were re•
ceived by General Scarlett and his staff, and rode slowly
over to the camp. The spot chosen by the Duke of Cam-
bridge for the inspection of the troops was the long open
parade ground in the North Camp,'and to this towards
noon the regiments from their different quarters came
streaming on amid a clash of music almost as varied in
tones as the uniforms wers varied in their tints.
The whole force was formed up in two double
lines, each nearly half a mile long. On the right
of the first line were the Royal Horse Artillery
and the Royal Engineers, then the 51st Regiment, the
98th Regiment, the 2nd battalion of the Bth Regi-
ment, with the 54th, 40th, 80th, and 43rd Regiments.
The second line in rear was formed by the Ist Dragoon
Guards, the 4th Dragoon Guards, two batteries of field
artillery, the Pontoon and the Military Train. Thus, it
will be seen that, though the force was small, it was com-
plete in all the essentials of a little corps d'armee. Her
Majesty came upon the ground soon after twelve, and her
arrival was announced by a Royal salute fired from a
battery stationed on the heights just beyond the North
Camp and above Cove-common. The Royal party had
driven direct from Windsor, a distance of sixteen miles,
till close upon the camp, when the ordinary closed car-
riages were changed for two open pony carriages, each
drawn by four beautiful greys. Her Majesty looked very
well. In the carriage with her were their Royal High-
nesses the Princesses Christian and Beatrice, and Prince
Christian rode at the side of the carriage with the Duke
of Cambridge and Prince Tech. In attendance on the
Queen were Colonel De Ros, Colonel Du Plat, Colonel
Gordon, and the ladies in waiting.

The programme of the Royal visit may be told in a few
words. As the Queen entered the North Parade the
royal salute was given, and the whole line presented arms
and lowered colours with the precision of a machine,
while the bands played the National Anthem. Her
Majesty passed very slowly along the front line, and then
at once turned to her place in the centre of the North 2
Parade, at the minting point. Past this the troops Vegan
to march. First came the horse artillery and cavalry.
then the field batteries, then the engineers and infantry,
the whole line being closed by the Pontoon and Military
Trains. Nothing can be said of a march-past beyond that,
where al did well, some corps acquitted themselves with
such exceptionable excellence as to throw the average per-
formances of other regiments almost into the shade. Again
the regiments passed at a quick march, and afterwards the
cavalry and horse artillery passed at it canter. Both these
last 'movements were executed wi h beautiful precision,
and even the most fastidious military critic could
detect no fault in the manner in which they were
effected. The whie line then reformed in the original
position, and, advancing slowly, gave the royal salute
with magnificent effect. Loft before this last evolu-
tion, however, the keen cold rain had set in with
some violence and much discomfort. The instant
therefore, that the final salute was given, the troops
were marched off to their quarters, and her Majesty drove
straight to the Pavilion in the south Camp, where she
lunched, and afterwards drove out to see the library in the
South Camp, which was built by the late Prince Consort,
and mainly through his enlightened munificence supplied
with books. The Royal party then returned to Windsor.
It is believed at Aldershot that this -visit of her Majesty
is only the first of several which will be made this
summer.
