THE PENNSYLVANIA TROOPS.
The throng generally awaited thei
coming with an earnest interest. Th0s'
who had never seen General Hartranft

anxious to see him. Others were curl,
Gus to know what kind OF a display
the great protection State would make.
When General Hartranft. of the
National Guard OF Pennsylvania, rode
up at the head or his staff the cheering
began; but when he saluted the Presi-
dent and Vice President, and they
raised their hats to HIM In returning
the salute, the applause reached Its

presented a fine appearance. The
Third Regiment, Of Philadelphia. Col.
Sylvester Bonnafon commanding, came
next, Its fifers played vigorously as
they passed the stand and the buglers
gave salute. Several beautiful flags
were also displayed by the regiment.

his stan, mounted, were hailed with
cheers. and the men were commended
for their fine bearing. The regiment
had about 65 pieces in its fife, drum
and bugle corps.

head of the State Fencibles. His staff,
which was unfortunate In the matter
of securing horses, was obliged to walk.
The Fencibles were not out In all their
but they marched well and
by their evolutions evoked applause.
The Gray InvIncibles, commanded by
Captain Hailstock, were also reduced
in numbers, but they had enough men
in line to show the degree Of proficiency
they have attained in the art Of drill
Ing. One of the best features Of the
First Brigade was the very last. 1t
was the display Of Battery A. The
battery had eight caissons, drawn by
four horses each, in line.
Brigadier General John P. s. Goblin
commanded the Third Brigade, which

throng. The usual salutes bsing passed, /,

Third Brigade, having eight ca1ssons
and good force of Rrtillerymen.
The Second Brigade, which followed
the Third, was commanded by Briga.
dier General John Wiley. The Eight
zenith Regiment, commanded by Colo
mel Norman M. Smith, turned out the
most men and won the greatest ap-
plause. This regiment was from
Pittsburg, as were also the Fourteenth
and Battery B, both OF which made
large and imposing displays. 1t was
while the regiments of this brigade
were passing that many Of the shiver-
ing spectators began to wonder il
would ever stop.

THE OHIO MILITIA.
Governor j. B. Foraker, of Ohio,
then led the third division Of the mill
Jary up to the reviewing stand. He
wore slouch hat, Which was dripping
wet, and his coat appeared to be in the
same condition. The applause which
greeted his appearance was as strong
and as loud as any that had preceded it,
and 1t was only a continual
lion OF what had been given him
all along the line. The salute that
passed from him to the President and
Vice President and from them In re-

very cordial. The third division con-
