weather did not dare disobey. He sent the STORM
Of Friday night south and furnished beautiful day
for the gallant 18th Regiment TO start for camp
Promptly at II o'clock the order 10 7" Fall I'M was
given, and few minutes afterward the regiment was
its way to the pier. The Sd Battery loineo inc

green-above-the-r red pumes, marched down scner-
merhorn and Clinton SITS, past the City Hail. Brooh
lyn where they were reviewed by the Mayor and the
Board Of Aldermen, thence down Montague and Henry
sts and Atlantic ave- to the pier The houses along
the line OF march were turned into one continuous
reviewing stand. The pretty girls standing on the
stems murmured Aren't they nlcel' The old gentle
men remarked, " They fine body OF men, ana
the boot-black yelled TO bis companion. Jimmy,
aren't they daisies1
The steamer Long Branch swung out into the river
while the gallants on boarl fired one parting volley
Of kisses at their fair enemies on the pier, and the

The Girl Left Behind Me- and the men gave
a shout that 50 startled the regulars on Governors
Island that they forgot to prevent tho enemy from
passing and the boat steamed up the Hudson River
In passing Fort Lee the members Of Company smoked
