THE VOLUNTEER REVIEIV.

- -

The Volunteer Review on Saturday was most
successful. But then it is difficult to say what could
make any Review of Volunteers by the Queen in
person unsuccessful if the weather .ere line, and
the common enjoyment of the sightseers and sight-
makers were marred by no accident.. The site and
the weather were in the main very favourable, and
if it be objected that the park in this leafy mouth
of June, now in its fulness of beauty, obscured too
many movements behind its screen of foliage, and
that the atmosphere might have come down a few
degrees without serious inconvenience to the
most chilly of mortal., the objector must be re•
girded as a captious person. There may be
ground* of complaint against the railway companies
for unreadiness, for the S txon is as unready
sometimes in railways as he was in war chariots
and wardtnotes. There may be charges against
Volunteer corps of untitneline:s, but the great fact
remains that some 27,000 men, a complennint of
field guns, a small force of cavalry, and a large
numLer of chargers were brought together from
all parts—indeed from distant parts—of England
to a given point in a very few hours, and there
spread out under the walls of
_Witidsm Castle,
without, as far as we know, any serious hitch
or grievous accident. For the most part the
corps were up to time, and the experience ac-
quired in forming up men on railway platforms,
and occupying the carriages as the trains come in,
then making the declaration, so to speak, at the
points of arrival, has produced excellent results.
Still, all this might be better. There is too
much rushing, far too much shouting-adjurations

from " Bill" to " Bob" to " com-3 in here! There's
lots of room ;" and although no one could be cruel
enough to deny the Volunteers the pleasures of
their " pipe," it must be a standing miracle which
prevents some of them exploding, seeing how reck-
less they are of fusees and how full of cartridges.
Such an occasion as Saturday gave a great tempta-
tion to the flight of high spirits, and as the trains
moved off with their battalions the choruses rose
above the whistle of the engine and the rattling of
wheels. It may be well, however, to say to our
young Volunteers that they are not likely to become
better soldiers by seeking to imitate the language
of the camp, and that the practice which prevailed
in Flanders, according to Captain Shandy, in Queen
Anne's time, has somewhat died out nowadays,
when even the highest officers refrain from emulat-
ing Ernuiphus except in the most provocative
instances.

All the corps had not arrived when the guns posted
in front of the left flank of the line opened with a
Royal salute, and the cortege of the Queen was
seen coming down the Long Walk. The public
were admitted to each side of the road by order of
her Majesty, and she was received by them with
great respect. The open carriage in which the
Queen and the Royal Princesses were sated was
drawn by four greys, and it was preceded by au
officer of the Household in advance, and by a de-
tachment of the Life Guards. Around the car-
riage, and following it came a Staff, bright as gold,
scarlet, blue, silver, plumes, lace, orders, and
ribands could make it. Then came another body
of officers and another detachment of Life Guards.
The Royal Standard was hoisted as soon as the
Queen came in sight. The Royal carriage, as
we have said, was first, and then came in file four
open carriages of the Royal Ilousehold, one with
the Princess Mary of Teck and her ladies, the other
occupied principally by ladies in attendance on her
Majesty or of her Court. The procession advanced
toward the saluting point, and the Queen was re-
ceived along the line with uplifted hats and waving
handkerchiefs. While her Majesty halted at the

saluting point for a short time, noticing the distin-
guished persons whom she recognised near at hand,
the people could point out the Crown Prince of

Dena-lark, the Prince of Wales and his Royal

brothers, the Duke of Cambridge, the Prince of
'Peck, a group of Prussian officers, Sir James

Scarlett (not the worse, in any way, for Mr.
Kinglake's fourth volume), Sir Hope Grant,
Lord W. Paulet, Sir W. Knollys—in fact,
the heads of departments of war, and a number
of our most distinguished officers, surrounded
by a very large Staff from Horse Guards, War-
office, Aldershot, Chatham, and Woolwich.
After a while, when the insatiable multitude had
ogled and. lorg,netted every one —had observed
" how well the Queen Was looking," " how sweet"
the Princesses were, " how km lsonie the Prince of
Teck was,"" how happy the Princess Mary seemed,"
and noted a number of matters connected with
most of the distinguished and uncons_ious person-
under review, the cortege, led by the Qieen's car-
riage, turned back, wheeling t;) the left, and
passed in front cf the line of spectators towards
the right flank, where the Duke of Manchester,
with his handful of Taplow L tncers, Oxf ird
Lights, H.A.C. Lights, and his own sturdy
Hunts Light Horse (most of them, we should think,
riding 16 stone), was posted, and then, wheeling
once more to the right, drove slowly to the extremity
of the first line. This was a pretty sight. A great
green picture framed by giant trees, lighted up by
rays tremulous with heat, diffused through a veil of
thin, warm vapour—inside the frame in the fore-
ground rows of carriages—gay and bright as Mr.
Frith's " Derby Day ;" then a deep fringe of
men and women on foot, well-dressed, orderly,
anxious, quiet; their the stake and chain—and
outside, sweltering in their armour, two
and two, booted, guntleted, helmeted, and
cuirassed, the men of the Life Guards. Carry
your eye up each side of the frame, and you se,
the gay beadwork of Lancers and Hussars fret-
ting the dark edge of the multitude. Look ur
or straight across—for the picture is lying flat, and
is all closed in (like the " Velasquez Hunt" it,
the National Gallery) —and you see the Volunteer,
lying in ordered mass as clouds do at sea on stormy
sunsets. And now, flashing and sparkling as the
light bursts in, there rolls across the green is front
of this sombre mass, a cavalcade of horsemen, and
the Royal carriages twinkle past the line, wheel
round, and with their followings and surroundings
are lost till they emerge at the other end. Then
they at last return in the order in which they came
to the saluting point, which is marked by the Royal
Standard, too lazy in the summer evening to flaunt
at full length. It was 5.30 p.m. when the march
past began, beginning from the right of the first
line.

Let us here be permitted to offer a suggestion.
Although the colour of each corps be put in the
programme, it is quite impossible for the closest
observer and the most interested critic to follow une
by one every corps in small bodies. the first or
second fixes his attention, then comes a string of
ordinary beads each like the other. At last his
curiosity is aroused by a splendid battalion. " How
well these fellows march ! Who are they ? Bravo I
What are they ?" No one can tell. They are grey or
green, but how many greys and greens are there ?
Now all this uncertainty could be avoided if the
corps on review days would carry a small guidon,or
square flag, such as the Sussex battalion had on Sa-
turday, bearing the number and initials of each. The
objections would be literally null, the cost little, the
satisfaction to the spectators very great. We canno
pretend to criticise corps, but certainly the strongest,
best appointed, and one of the best drilled, if not
the best, was the Robin Hoo,ls, •froin Notting-
ham, who came on the ground, they said, 75{:
strong, ani marched admirably, headed by
their own bearded pioneers, whom Arabian per-
fumery could not improve. The old favourites
held their own. Lord Elcho's turned out rathei
weak, but marched like the London Scottish.
"Tom brown's" corps went by in capital style ;
so did the little " Artists" corps full of life
colour, and up to a brush with any enemy. Lor
Denegll seemed to consult quantity rather that,
quality, we thought, in the London Irish, and ii
the Inns of Court were good we have seem.
them better and certainly in larger form.
Warde's Londoners were iu force and in capital
order. On the whole, the difficulty of sizing mei.
has not at all diminished, and the ranks might 6
weeded to the extent of ten per hundred in some.
and twenty per hundred iu others, if the regula
tions for recruits observed in the regular army wer(
in force. The only use in training undersized boys
