viewed the forces. The bearing OF tho

credit to themselves and their state. The fne
soldierly bearing of the officers and men, the
perfection in the necessary evolutions of sur
prising completeness, and the splendid phys

Al the close oil the review each battalion
had dress parade while the governor and staff
conducted their distinguished guest and STAG

battalion, and Col. FOlsem, formerly Of Eighth
Minnesota volunteers, were selected as Judges.
For au impromptu affair IL was very creditable.
The judges, while praising the action of Capt.
Beans file of four, excluded them on account
of the larger numbers Of the
other companies, and while highly
complmenting the drill OF tho
file from Company A, whose drill, a. far
as it went, was the smoothest, awarded the
palm of excellence to the file of Company B,
amid the plaudits Of the spectators both civic
and military.
Col. Bend, at the conclusion, offered to
meet Capt. Hunter with either A, G or d CON-
pany of his battalion in it's entirety, but tho
lateness of the hour precluded it.

q grand display of fireworks, which were wit
messed by thousands Of spectators with de-
light.

and was crowded to its utmost capacity, even
