GOVERNORS DAY.

Troops Reviewed by Governor n
8ulkeley. ....- Up
CAMP WHITE, N1ANT1o, Conn. Aug. 10.
That Governors day is pre-eminently the
eat day at camp has not been an excep- r
N to the rule. The fine weather which i
Is prevailed throughout the week was 9
eshened up by breeze and everything !
emed to work together to make tho day {
success. By o'clock In the morning
lcursion trains began to arrive from all
arts of the state and visitors began to
arong into the camp. The girls, who had
cen separated from the soldier boys for
lmost week, invaded the camp in large
fact to such an extent that
ne might be inclined to think that 1t was
ladies' day instead of Governors day. 1t
vas estimated that fully $4,000 people
we're present on the grounds.
The regiments never looked finer than
;o-dsy, the colonies and officers resplend- |
mt in their dress uniforms glistenfng with
yold braid, the privates in their neat |
white trousers presenting an appearance
which speaks well for Connecticut SOL
aiery. The morning thus wore gradually
away, with No particular event. Two spe-
cial excursion trains arrived at 1870 and
1890, respectively, from New Haven, bring
ing large parties of visitors.
THE GRAND REVIEW.
The event of the day, however, was the
grand review and inspection of the troops
BY Governor Buckley and staff and Brig
adler General Haven and staff at O'Clock
in the afternoon. The column was headed
by the regimental bands, the Second regi-
ment following, Colonel Doherty in COM
mand and Lieutenant Colonel Burpee in
command of the First battalion, and Major
Callahan in command of the Second. The
Fourth, First and Third regiments, the
platoon and Battery A followed in order.
After the review by the governor ekirmish
riot drills and drills by the Machine Gun
platoon and the battery followed. The
different regiments then had their regi-
mental parades and at $50 O'Clock the
brigade parade occurred, which was the
last event of the week in the drill or parade
line. Tho whole afternoon was then taken
up with drills and parades and the men
looked we'll tired out when they returned
to their tents. 1t was grand sight, how
ever, to view the movements and
maneuvres of the regiments stretched out
over the whole broad expanse of the parade
grounds sight thoroughly military, in
which the civilianj feels that he has no
part.
The following companies from New Ha-
ven took part in the evolutions: Company
B, City Gusrd, Captain Quit; Company G.,
Sarsfields, Captain Greed; Company D,
Blues, Captain Walter Beach; Company
E, Light Guard, Captain Sucher; Com
pany T, Grays, Captain Brown; the Second
Signal corps, Sergeant McKiernan; the
Second Hospital corps, in charge of Hos
pital Steward Barber Of Neriden; the Sec
ond Separate company, Captain Lathrop;
Second Machine Gun platoon, Lieutenant
Sears. And it can be said to the credit Of
the New Haven companies that they did
| finely. The evolutions and maneuvers
| were executed in a most praiseworthy
| manner, and considering that it is the first
| time the new military code of regulations
| and tactics has been in force in camp tht
men all did exceedingly well. The CITY
Guard were especially praised for the pre-
| cision and exactness with which they exc
| cuted the different movements. The Sec
ond Separate company showed that they
| were well up in tactics also.
Governor Buckley was dressed in citt
| xens' clothes, wearing black silk hat. A
