ness the military spectacle of " Waterloo-day," and left
Gosport at about 3 o'clock in a special train, under the

WATERLOO DAY.
This day, being the anniversary of the battle of Wa-
terloo, was celebrated in this garrison in a manner no
place in the kingdom, except the metropolis or Phcenix-
park, could surpass. In the morning the troops, to a
number close upon 3,000, took up position on the cod-
mon at Southsea for review. About noon Lord Frede-
rick Fitzclarence presented the inhabitants, through the
Mayor and Corporation, with statues of Nelson and
Wellington, to ornament the esplanade adjoining Hol-
lingsworth-room, Southsea-beach, whereon they have
been placed. This ceremony was accompanied by a feli-
citous address from his Lordship, and a becoming re-
sponse from the trustees of his generosity. At the same
time the Corporation presented Lord Gough with an ad-
dress upon his visit to the town, which was cordially
received and courteously acknowledged by the veteran
General; aftrr which the troops formed brigade on the
common, for the presentation of new colours to the 28th
Foot by Lady Augesta Fitzclarence. The new colours
were consecrated in the usual manner by the Chaplain-
General to the Forces. After this ceremony the troops
were brigaded by Lord Gough, in the presence of many
thousands of spectators. At three o'clock the soldiers
were marched up to the water's edge, to fire a feu-de-joie
as the Queen approached on board the Royal yacht Fairy.
After the yacht had been skilfully steered through the
channel marked out for her, the troops returned to the
common, and were reviewed for the pleasure of the
million. They were afterwards indulged with rustic
sports, for prizes awarded from the band and purse of
Lord Fitzclarence, which yielded indescribable amuse-
ment...At six o'clock the inhabitants gave his Lordship a
banquet, presided over by the Mayor, and Mr. Coun-
cillor George Sheppard, as vice-chairman. The affair was
a highly enthusiastic one, and will long live, we have no
doubt, in the memories of those who partook of it. A
display of fireworks on the common in the evening was
the concluding feature in the events of this " Waterloo-
day;'
