beautiful weather brought ont great number OF
persons to witness the display. At an early hour
the various commands assembled in their respective
armores Though the review was not to take
place until half past two O'Clock in the afternoon

downtown business rush had begun.
The Niuth Regiment, with Col. James Fisk, Jr.,
at its head, turned out In fatigue uniform and
marched on the sidewalk down Broadway 10 the

transported to Gowsnus BAY. From to II o'clock

On the opposite side Of ths river the arrangements
OF tie horse companies TO take the troops to the

opea cars, which when 0lled were promptly des.
patched to their destination.

was drawn up in two lines, the First and Second
brigades constituting the INST line, and the Third
Brigade the second line The artillery were posted
In rear of the infantry, and extended round to the
