Three mere companies of the Twenty
fourth United States infantry. the col
ored regiment to be stationed hence
forth ait Fort Douglas, arrived yesterday
afternoon. The remaining companies
get in about midnight and before today
is gone the regiment will be in full
occupancy of it's new station.
The companies that arrived in the
afternoon were companies D. E, and G,
and were in command Of Colonel ]. F.
Kent, who will be commandant of the
regiment and post. The train bring
ing the troops, arrived shortly after
O'Clock, over the Union Pacific and it
was the work of but a few minutes
for the columns to form and the march
to the fort to begin
Curiosity to see what the new troops
looked like, prompted crowds Of people
to line both sides of South Temple to
see them pass and a crowd of consid-
cradle proportions assembled at the
depot. If the curiosity seekers ex-
pected to see anything less imposing
than the Sixteenth, in the column of
marching troopers they were very
much mistaken. The new Corners show
ed themselves as well disciplined as
any of Uncle Sans regulars and made
fine appearance.
With this portion of the regiment
came the regiment band, which headed
the column and as the soldiers took up
the march from the Union Pacific
depot it struck up a stirring march,
TO the tune of which the men marched
with admirable percision. They were
in heavy marching order, accoutered
exactly as though going into action,
and with musketS at right shoulder
arms and marching with a tread that
sounded like one foot fail the scene was
certainly calculated 10 stir the patr1-
otto feelings of the onlookers, and it
did. In one instance in particular, a
party was congregated, and when the
colors passed, every person in it took
off his hat and cheered. When the
troops passed the temple block there
was an occasional side glance of Won
derment but aside from those, which
were few, the men marched steadily on
like automcibons keeping their gaze
nothing at all strange in the scene
surrounding them.
The appearance of the troops aroused
the admiration of people fond of the
military and they were watched until
out of sight on the road to the fort
Some of the officers or their families
registered at the Knutsford and in the
evening attended the theatre.
The remainder of the Twenty fourth
will arrive at Fort Douglas this morn
ing.
