Governors day.
Just two words but full of Significance,
an event without which the annual muster
wouldn't be recognized.
Tho spirit Of tks l45 is contagious. The
exterior of the dullest and most slothfuI
wearcr of IA uniform isn't impervious to
it; he is more alert, more circumspect. II
requires IA little red tape" now and then
to get the best out of the men.
There is hustle and animation about
headquarters during the entire day, car
riages are almost constantly going anG
coming. Orderlies are chasing their witt
with small chance of collecting them.
The dignitaries are here and many are ac-
c%ompanied by their wives and when the
ladies are massed in front and about the
headquarters, during the grand review foI
instance,-wel there is no need of dwell
ing upon one of the prettiest features OF
Governors day, and we are willing to
wage His Excellency appreciated it as
fully as anyone.
During the forenoon there was an un
usually large number of visitors, who en-.
joyed witnessing the battalion drill.
