Fully conscious of the admiring gaze OF a
balcony crowded with fashion and beauty,
the Edward Creighton Guards, N. N. c.,
stood three ranks deep in Exposition hall at
10 o'clock Friday evening, each man rs inn
movable as a statue, awaiting the entrance Of
the chief executive of the state and his staff.
The company stood at the west end of the
hall, and south Of them was the Second In
fantry band, whose inspiring strains added
greatly to the pleasures of the occasion. over
the.wcst end of the hail were the floral let
tiers "Welcome to Our Commander-in-Chief.
The hall was prettily decorated with bunting
and the ceiling swung with green f%estoons.
On the north side were three amp tents.
The orchestra was almost concealed behind
the luxuriant plants in front of
them, while the balcony was thronged
with q bewildering profusion Of pretty
faces, beautiful dresses, swallow tails and
military trappings.
just before 10 o'clock the bugle sounded
and the company fell into line. Almost OIL
the stroke of the hour the east door opened
and the governor and staff entered and the
band struck up Hail to the Chief" The
governor appeared in a black Prince Albert
coat ana SLOUGH hat, and his staff were re-
splendent with gold lace and buttons. After
the formal presentation of the company to
the governor, inspection of arms followed,
the party being escorted along the ranks by
c. ]. Symth, captain of the company.
The adjutant general reported everything
satisfactory TO the governor, and a drill fol-
lowed. The movements were all executed
with promptncss and decision showing prac-
ticc in drill. The boys had or their ia
tigue uniforms and presented a very hand
some and warlike appearance.
The next feature had been put down
upon the programme as especial num-
ber,'i and had excited some curiosity
as to the significance of the two
words. 1t was fully explained when Captain
Smyth stepped forward with n handsome
gold mounted sword and handed 1t to Gov
ernor Thayer, who, on behalf of the company,
presented it to Lieutenant kennon, of Gen
eral Crooks staff, who has kindly put in con-
siderable time drilling the company and
otherwise encouraging them. The governors
remarks were brief and appropriate. The
gallant lieutenant, though very much sur
prised, was equal to the occasion and made
a graceful response.
The governor next addressed the company,
telling them of the value of such organiza-
tions, the interest he felt in them, and
trusted the interest would only be main
tanned. His remarks were throughout very
complimentary TO the boys.
More military evolutlons followed, which
ended with the stacking of arms in front of
the tents and breaking of ranks. The enthu-
siastic militiamen then gave three cheers for
Governor Thayer and almost everybody else
