muster of 1889. and late last evening the
officers of the several departments were
busiy engaged in, perfecting every
ietail, so that nothing should
occur to prevent this Governors day being
the finest ever held by the State militia. The
men are taking an individual interest in the
matter and where such is the case there can .
but be salts factory results. The quarters,
rations, and every thing connected with the
camp have been first class in every respect ,
and the men feel that much has been done /
for their comfort during the muster and are
disposed to do all in their power to make .
he most advancement possible. There is a
wholesome rivalry between the officers of the
'egments and the companies and it has re-
'ulted in much needed toning up in the
'ervice. The morning reports showing the /
strength of the command were not tabulated ,
