to escort the governor from the depot to
his quarters on the grounds. R:gimental
drill was cut short about 1890 and the
regiment marched to the depot where it
remained drawn up and awaited the train.
The train rolled in at exactly II :0S and
Governor Morris, accompanied by his wife
and Miss Morris, alighted from the car
They were met and greeted by General E.
E. Bradley and Governor Morris was
escorted to his carriage. The governors
staff escorted him to the camp, all being
mounted except General Bradley who rode
with the governor in the carriage.
When the governor arrived at camp he
was escorted to the font and center of the
brigade, which had been drawn up in line
Amid the booming of cannon from the bat
terry, which fred the customary governors
salute of seventeen guns, he was then driven
to his quarters, which had been fitted up
finely with flags and bunting, and the oere-
mony of receiving the governor was over.
THE GOVERNOR REVIEWS THE BRIGADE.
At 2 o'clock brigade formation and the
review by the governor occurred. The
bands of the four regiments were consoli-
dated, and headed by these combined bands
the regiments moved by the governor, who
sat in his carriage and reviewed the brig
ade.
The sight was a most grand and impress
sive one. The soldiers were all in their
full dress uniform, and they were formed
and marched in perfect order.
After the review the troops gave An OK
hibition of skirmish drill and various 9TH
or manRuvres.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AvERTED.
In the Calling gun drill what might have
been most serious accident was avoided.
The gun belonging to the First Machine
Gun company had been taken from the
carriage and laid on the field, 80 that the
carriage was free, cave for the ammunition
box. Suddenly the horses became fright
ened at something and started to run away,
and had 1t not been for the presence of
mind and prompt action of the rider, Mr.
John Wood of Hartford, it Is probable
that many lives mi ght have been
lost. He seived one of the reins
and kept the horses running around in
circle until they were tired out. The
gun carriage was completely demolished
and was left in the middle of the field. The
horses ran up near the reviewing stand
where they struck woman and knocked
Several ladies who saw her thought she
was seriously injured and tainted away
The nerve and GOODNESS which he displayed
in such q position of danger was highly
commended by all, and he was borne on
the shoulders of several of his company
around the entire encsmpment and was
given a continual ovation. 1t Ia very
probable that he earned his stripes by the
good work which he did.
The regimental dress parade occurred at
about $50 o'clock and was enjoyed by the
thousands of spectators present. With the
close of the dress parade the routine for the
day practically ended and the soldiers had
leisure to visit with their friends, who were
PRESENT. In such large numbers.
THE ILLUMINATION.
After supper the thousands of Japanese
lanterns with which the camp was hung
were lit, and the illumination presented a
scene of fairylike loneliness. The Blues
street was the prettiest in the entire brig
anese lanterns, making it light az day.
Several of the other regiments had
streets which were specimens of fine IL
Eliminating. A large number of fireworks
were also set off.
