current tactics. The regiment was 454 strong, rank
and file, and was commanded by their excellent
commander and ungainly rider Colonel Clarke.
Brevet Colonel Fitzgerald, the well known adjutant
of the corps, was as energetic and effective "a
usual. The regiment entered the square excellent
order and assumed position under excellent direc-
tiOn. Line was formed at halfpast four, when tie
usual salute was given. The right companies were
slow In coming to the "present," but as the wind
blew pretty stifiy the fault was not theirs. Tne
circumstance however, pointed TO the necessity OF
having orders given by the bugle, as directed for
light infautry regiments. The movements in
the school OF the battalion, which followed,
