able one in the history of the New Jersey
encampment, both in the character of Its
military display, and the general efficiency
of the 3. 900 troops encamped here.
No rain fell and the thick clouds that
obscured the SUMS hot rays made the day
on the ground comfortable and pleasant.
The troops were up early, making their
tents look tidy to receive the many visi-
tors who had come down on the excursion
trains to spend the day in camp and wit
ness the Governors review.
Governor Albeit arose early to get the
benefit of the cool morning air. His son,
General William f.. Albeit. who is the
youngest man In the State ranking as
general. was also among the early birds.
The morning was devoted to the usual
drill and routine work. The camp never
looked prettier. Not scrap of paper
could be seen on the grounds to mar the
beauty OF the carpet of green.

Governor Albeit was in excellent
spirits In the morning because of the in
dications of fair weather. as it rarely oc-
curs that both review days pass off with
tut rain. But at noon a slight sprinkling
commenced, which dampened his ardor
considerably. The sun reappeared in a
very short time and continued to shine
throughout the day.
sTHE GOVERNORS REVIEW.
AT four O'Clock, the hour named for the
Governors review there were 10000 on
the grounds. They occupied the space
outside the ropes, that had been drawn
t. keep back the crowd. 1t was shortly
after four O'Clock when the first call of
the brigade bugler set the perspiring
crowd on the tip toe of expectation and
hurried soldiers in preparation for the
review.
1t was but few minutes after this
when ont from Brigade Headquarters
mounted officers clad in the full
uniform of their rank Governor
Albeit headed the procession. Con-
trary to the expectations of the crowd
the officers took circuitous route down
Sea Girt avenue. and entered the ground
mt the lower end of the field. They then
rode slowly across the field to where Cen
eral W. j. Sewell and staff were in wait
ing. The regimental bands played 'Hail
to the Chief"
IN LINE OF BATTLE.
The companies marched out from their
streets, and battalions were drawn in line
of battle. The formation was rather slow
under the new tactics, but the front was
fine. The brigade looked well as it stood
IN line of battle, awaiting the approval or
disapproval of the company of mounted
officers who occupied the opposite side of
the field. The neat blue uniforms of the
troops contrasted with the fresh green of
the parade ground, and backed by the
long line of suow-white tents, called forth
many complimentary remarks from the
spectators. The various salutes and cere-
monies between the regimental officers
Icing over, General Sewell reported his
command to the C0mmander-ln-chlef as
ready for review. The Governor acknowl-
edged the salute, and accompanied by
his staff and General Sewell and staff
rode to the right OF the line aud passed
in front of the brigade, returning to the
upper part OF the grounds by way of the
rear, where they assembled while the
brigade was marched hefore them.
