\ LONDON, March 30.-The annual reviews
and sham fight of the volunteer regiments
3 Of the Kingdom took place yesterday on
\ The Downs at Brighton. All arms of the
service were represented and the display
Y was very fine. Fortunately the weather
was splendid and the effect of the grand
p Tournament was not marred, as on some
previous occasions. by soggy ground and a
weeping sky. The positive announcement
y that the review would take place as usual
combined with the attractive weather,
pbrought out from London as well as from
1.-The surrounding country vast assemblage
P'0f people.
The early trains we're crowded. and by
The time the regiments were all on the
\ ground and ready to begin operations, the
\ largest and most brilliant crowd seen at a
! similar spectacle for years was present to
witness the Knights of the Nineteenth Cen
tury in their passage at arms. The total
of all branches of the service present, in
fantry, cavalry and artillery, was not less
| than %, ,OOO all appearing in excellent con-
dition and ready for the fray. The pro-
gramme was not especially different from
| former occasions. The force was divided
into two armies, the first taking position
on the hills, and the assailing army being
drawn out on level ground below AT the
signal word the latter moved forward in
beautiful order to the attack. The scene,
as they marched across the ground OF
their original position and those of their
opponents on the slopes, the bright sun
shining ON polished bayonets, flashing
swords and gay uniforms, was an attrac-
tive and exciting one.
When within firing distance the assault
began. and the air reverberated with the
thunder Of guns and crack of muskets.
The defense was as gallant as the attack,
and after two hours Of hard fighting the
attacking army was repulsed everywhere,
the position OF the defenders being impreg.
nable. Only twelve casualties are reported
for the day, and none Of them serious.
A special feature Of the sham fight was
the capture of balloons, as in an actual
fight. The balloons were brought from
Woolwich Arsenal for the purpose and con-
nected with headquarters on the field by
telegraphic wires inclosed in the cable by
which the balloons were held captive.
