CAMP LAKEVIEW, July 21.-Gov.
Clough and staff arrived at Lakeview
this afternoon to go through their
duties as militia inspectors. The re-
view and parade Of the two regiments
given in honor Of Minnesotas big ex-
ecutive gun were the best ever seen
at Camp Lakeview
1t has been threatening to rain all
day here, but First regiment luck got
the better of the elements and the
governor had an almost perfect even
ing to get his eager eye on the soldier
ability Of the North Star states crack
militia regiment.
Immediately on stepping off the
train the governor was received by the
regulation salute of seventeen guns
and. was again cordially welcomed by
the sturdy sons of Minnesota to their
camp. After dining with the staff, the
chler executive passed the time before
inspection and review in pleasant con-
Versation with his camp friends and
on little tour Of inspection through
the White City"
Then came the grand review and
parade, and notable one 1t was in
deed. The Third regiment of the Reg
uIars joined with the militia, so that
numbers, as well as snap and vigor in
the execution Of all the movements,
maze very striking martial specta-
Gle ana one to make one feel proud
Oh our boys in blue. His excellencv
plainly showed his keen pleasure and
gratlncation at the brilliant work
zone, and gave free expression to his
FEELINGS. After inspection, Gov. Clough
and party left for st. Paul.
One feature which is entirely new
this year and which has proved graf
trying even beyond the highest ex-
pectauons, has been the revolver con-
test Tor commissioned and non-com-
hiissloned oft1cerS Of the First reei-
ment. There were three medals Of
1efed, gold, a silver and a bronze.
Inc gold metal was awarded to Private
oscar Olson, of Company G, he having
peen made sergeant pro tenn. in order
to qualify him to compete. Private
Olson's score of SO points out of a nos
slble 100 at a distance of rs and so
varos is a phenomenal one, for not
only does does it make him the best
OF the ~ G. M, but his record ranks
nigh among the best in the world
Col. Reeve, to judge from his high
words of praise and qualification on
presenting the medal, seemed no less
pleased than the happy winner him
self.
Capt. Lee, brigadier inspector Of
small arms, won the silver medal. and
Lieut.. Col. Fitzgerald won the bronze
medal.
