The Governor Reviews the Troops.
At2p. m. IL was still uncertain
whether the review would take place,
Gov. Cleveland being unwilling to
subject the officers and men to the
discomforts attendant upon a public
parade in rain storm. Adjutant-
General Farnsworth, Gen. Scholer and
other officers of the national guard,
were in consultation with the gov
ernor at the Hoffman house, through
out the forenoon, and mounted order
lies were in attendance to convey
final orders to the various regiments.
f, Those of the first division, 22d, 1st,
9th, 18th, 7th, 9Th, Goth and list. with
TWO batteries of artillery were wait
ing orders in their armories. The sec
ond division, comprising Brooklyn
regiment, the 18th, of which Henry
Ward Beecher is chaplain; the 18th,
23d, 32d and 47th, with battery of ar
tillary had arrived andwere held wait
ing orders, while getting thorough
Wetting.
The vicinity of the reviewing stand
at worth monument, was crowded
with spectators, with umbrellas hoist
ed. The weather having frightened,
the rain having rather moderated, de-
finite orders were issued for the re-
view to take place. Notwithstanding
the rain, both sides OF the streets
through which the procession passed,
were thickly lined with men and wo-
men, who stood until the regiment
had passed.
For an hour before the time appoint
ed for the marching Of the column,
the vicinity OF the grand stand
was packed with people. It was ten
, minutes past four when the governor,
in an open barouche, drawn by four
white horses, reached the stand. He
was accompanied by Adjt.-Gen. Farms
worth in full uniform. The stand
was comfortably filled. The COVER
nor was surrounded by his staff dur
ing the review. He stood from Ala
until $40 p. m. without an umbrella
in the rain, lifting his soaked hat in
response to salutes and again as the
colors of the respective regiments
passed. After the column had pa sed
deafening volley of cheers was given
for Governor Cleveland, and LIE re.
turned to the Hoffman house.
Along the line of Fifth avenue, up
and down from the reviewing stand
as far as the eye could reach. great
surging crowds occupied the side
walks, and Gordon of police kept the
railway clear. Ten thousand uplifted
umbrellas could be seen at one sweep
of the eye, and they were headed
almost without interruption from
2 to o'clock. Governor Cleve-
land was dripping wet when he
arrived in the reviewing stand. He
was saturated and soaked when he re-
tired. He did not wear an overcoat
Great cheering herAlded his approach
to and departure from the reviewing
stand. In each instance these cheers
were taken up by the mass of the peo
pie and passed along the line from the
hotel to the reviewing stand and the
reviewing stand back again to the
hotel.
As the several regiments reached
the reviewing stand they where cheer
ed to the echo, and as the battle-fagI
of each corps were borne past Gov
Cleveland lifted his hat again, which
action evoked further cheers.
