gave the guardsmen and their friends
at Camp Johnson perfect day, and the
sun of day shone out in all its glory,
with just enough clouds to temper the
glare, and a delicious breeze blew all
day from across the quiet waters. From
daybreak there was great activity in
camp, and it was evident from the
hustle that the boys, as we'll as the
officers, were imbued with the impor-
tance OF what was before them.
The usual and routine exercises were
duly observed until 9 80, when the en-
tire brigade formed in line and marched
to the depot to await the arrival of
Governor Markham, Senator FELTON,
and the others of the party who were to
arrive on the 10 :15 train.

H. Markham, Senator G. N. FELTON,,

Smith, of Washington DC, Lieutenant
Colonel Forrest S. Chadbourne, Colonel
F. w. Sumner, Lieutenant-Colo
Young, Lieutenant-Colone w. S. San
born, Colonel w. r. Laidlaw, of the
governors staff. After the governor and
party had alighted the guests and escort
proceeded up Ocean avenue to the camp,
headed by the Ninth infantry band and
the drum and bugle corps of the Seventh.
The streets were lined with throng of
sight-seers who Justify cheered the ap-
pearance of the chief executive of the
state, and the fine marching of the First
brigade. 1t was one grand ovation from
the depot along the matchless avenue to
the camp.
When the camp was reached the gov
ernor's salute was fired, and another
ovation greeted the party. Here the
distinguished party were introduced to
the officers and men, and after an in
formal reception they were taken in
charge by Colonel Treichel, governor OF
the soldiers home, and Colonel E. F.
Brown, inspector-general of the soldiers
homes, and driven to the home, where
an inspection was made and dinner
taken with the governor. Long before
the hour for the grand review the out
skirts of the camp were lined by small
army of vehicles, in which were seated
an array of society people who were
anxious to see the military pageant.
At O'Clock the governor and party ar
rived, when reception was held at
Brigade headquarters, until the arrival
of General G. c.. Allen and staff, when
the salute was fired and everything was
put in readiness for the grand event of
the day. At 4 :35 the buglers sounded
the first call, and after the preliminaries
were arranged, the brigade assembled
in line, the Ninth being on the right
and the Seventh on the left, facing the
north. At 5 p. m. the governor and
staff accompanied by General Allen snd
staff, inspected the troops. Afterwards
the grand march was made, General

a panoramic scene OF particular beauty.
