THE NJ. N. G..

They Break Ranks and Come Marching
Hone-A Final Review by the Gov
ernor.
1t is ended-reference being had to the re-
cent encampment of the Minnesota National
Guard at Camp Hubbard, White Bear lake.
The tents were struck about o'clock yester.
day morning, and at $50 a. m. the five com.
panies composing the First battalion took the
train at White Bear station and left for Min
neapolis, where they arrived shortly after 9
q. Ia. Disseminating the battalion marched
from one depot to the other, and
two Minneapolis companies coming down
with the command. 1t took but few
moments after the arrival of the train to form
the lire and preceded by the Great Union
band the battalion marched up Third street to
the Seven corners and then by the capitol to
the state arsenal where a halt was called and
the entire command partook of bountifuI
lunch furnished by Capt. Burger, state arsenal
keeper. After their morning march and
journey this lunch was duly appreciated and
it is safe to say that Capt. Burger is solid
with "the boys"
The lunch over the line was reformed and
the march made back to the capitol where
the command was brought to battalion 'front.'
In few moments Gov. Hubbard appeared
and running his eye along the line, taking in
the appearance of the men, he addressed them
as follows:
Col. Bend, Officers and soldiers of the First
battalion-I thank you for this very pleasant
call, am glad to see you looking so fresh
ana vigorous after your campaign at White
Bear. can say that your appearance indi-
cafes that you stand the service we'll. But
seriously, gentlemen, l congratulate you upon
the great success of your first encampment.
~ Il ~t,a
camp at your drills and parades, am pleased
to say that l believe you have learned much of
the duties and the life of soldier during the
week You spent in camp. The Minnesota Ma
tional guard is becoming one of the recognized
institutions OF our state, and / regard it the
duty, as l believe it 10 be the disposition of
our citizens, to encourage II in every proper
way. l believe it will be the policy of the
state TO be reasonably liberal in the future
provision il may make for your organization.
commend you, gentlemen, for your soldierly
conduct during the encampinent, and l thank
you for the promptnesss and spirit with which
you responded to the call. I believe
this encampment will induce public
sentiment in behalf of your organization,
and that in future you will feel that the
Minnesota National guard has friend in
every citizen of the state
The governors remarks were greeted with
three cheers at their close, and the cheers
were given with will and vim, which
showed that both officers and men fully ap-
preciated the fattering words of his excel
lency.
Once more the battalion was brought into
marching order and proceeded down Waba-
shaw to Third street, and thence to union
depot where the two companies from
Minneapolis separated from their companions
with cheer after cheer. The Minneapolis bows
to the p. m. train for home, aud the three
St.Paul companies returned to their respective
quarters where they were disbanded, and thus
ended the first encampment of the Minnesota
National guard. The GLOBE in concluding
it's daily reports from the camp heartily en-
dsrses the words of commentator uttered by
Gov. Hubbard.
In closing its report of the weeks encamp-
ment the GLOBE desires to make special men
ton of the Emmett Light artillery. From the
nature of things this company could rot
figure largely in spectacular point Of view.
1t is in one sense of the word an organization,
independent of and separate from the infantry
companies. Yet it isa deserving of none the
less credit for the manner in which it perform
ed its duties. Every duty imposed upon it by
the military rules and regulations was
scrupulously performed. Its morning snd
evening gun announced the risingand setting
OF the sun and its salutes at all proper times
were fired with the precision of veterans.
The company marched overland to the camp
ground and returned in the same manner, ar
irving at their armory at p. m. yesterday.
