 HARTFORD, June 21st.
 The Washington Light Infantry arrived in this city at twenty-four minutes past two, on time. AS the train came into the depot the booming of a cannon on the Park started all hands and was answered by the Washington Light Infantry cheer. The line was quickly formed and headed by Weeds band they marched on to the Park, passing in review before the First regiment. The line of march was then taken up and gone over, lasting about two hours. At the close of the parade they were reviewed by Governor Waller and staff in full uniform. After the review the line of march was taken up to the armory of the First regiment where cella- tion was served. Governor Waller vel comed the Washington Light Infantry and guests in behalf of the State of Connecticut, which was responded to by General Walker.
 Mayor Bulkeley welcomed them in behalf of the city of Hartford, which was respond ed to by Mayor Courtenay, of Charleston, and Colonel Barbour welcomed them in be- half of the First regiment, which was re- sponded to by Captain Marshall. The Wash ington Light Infantry will be quartered during their stay in Hartford at the United States Hotel and the guests at the Allyn House.
 Soon after leaving New Haven the recep- tion committee gave each member an elegant

Washing ton Light Infantry of Charleston, s. C., June 21, 1883" The citizens of Hartford turned out en masse and gave them grand welcome. The decorations were numerous and fine.
 There were receptions at Mayor Bulkeleyis, ex Lieutenant Governor Bulkeley's and Colonel Barbour's Governor Waller and staff made their appearance at all of them.
 At o'clock Friday morning the Washing ton Light Infantry go to South Manchester to visit the Cheney Brothers famous silk factory. Company G of the First regiment will receive them there. General Smith and staff are here. There is what might be called a reunion of those who went on the trip to Charleston, as nearly all who went are here and attended the receptions.
 big crowd followed the procession in the afternoon and many took the stepping stones over the Little river as a short cut. There was repetition of the Brooklyn bridge ex- perience on small scale. The crowd push ing from behind was more than the fellows on the edge could stand, and two of them were forced into the river before the others could be made to fall back.
