Thirteenth WAS FORTUNATE,
Had a Fine Opportunity TO See Part
OfDivisiOn Review.

Special from Il Staff Correspondent.
The Thirteenth was particularly for
tunate in their afternoons review. as
the Third brigade was the first to pass
division headquarters and all its regi-
ments were dismissed after rounding
the hill a short distance beyond the
reviewing point. This was necessary
because the field in front of the Third
brigade's quarters was occupied by the
other two brigades waiting to follow
the line. This gave the $500 men in
the brigade an opportunity to witness
the middle and last part of the spec
tacle. The crowd masSed on the hill
was plainly Philadelphia one, as the
