GOV. CLQUGH'S FINAL REVIEW

1t Was Held Yesterday in Spite OF
the Wind and Rain and Other
UntOward Clrcumstances--La
Party of Friends of the Young
Soldiers Gathered in Honor OF
the Occasion.
The review Of the Fourteenth regi-
ment by Gov. Clough yesterday was,
despite the disa greeab bic weather, wit
messed by fully 5000 spectators. The
review took place on the level ground
within the Kittsondale race track,
where there was ample space for
maneuVer.ng the entire regiment, but
on account of the high wind and clouds
of flying dust orders could not be
heard distinctly and but few tactics
we're gone through.
Ghat the regiment is a well drilled
ss6fSz3STly body Of men, however, was
fully apparent, and as the troops
marched by the governor, surrounded
by his staff, cheers and applause
greeted every company. Lieut. Col.
Johnson was in command, while his
staff was composed of Maj. Cole, Capt.
Dutton, Capt Whine, Lieut.. Coke ana
Chaplain Colbert. The members OF
Gov Coughs staff Witnessing the re-
view were Coils. Hartley, MOnfort, Sens,
PUSCh, Alness, BOeckman and Barrows.
Spectators from the Twin Cities be-
gan arriving at the camp soon after
the noon hour, passing the time until
the review was called in visiting with
the soldiers and inspecting the camp
AT o'clock the entire regiment march
ed from the camp TO the race track
where the parade was formed at the
north side of the enclosure. On the
l.
staff for the troops to pass in review.
At the command from Lieut., Col. John
son to march the band, leading the nnU.
struck up the regimental air. while
the regiment, swinging into company
formation, marched to the west end of
the grounds. where the column turned
and advanced toward the point Of re-
view. When the first company passed
before Gov. ClOugh, with arms at port,
stretched out in the rear was the en-
tire regiment, with colors flying IN the
color battalion, presenting withal an
inspiring scene. The steady tramp and
unswerving lines may. perhaps, have
reminded the spectators of incidents OF
the war. for loud cheers broke from
the men. while the women waved
handkerchief or other gay bits OF
color. AS each company neared the
governor, officers saluted with flourish
ing swords, while the privates brought
ment of the chief executives presence.
On all sides We're heard expressions Of
admiration for the excellent appear
ance of the regiment, and Gov. ClOuSh
highly cOmplimented the officers upon
the soldierly bearing Of their command.
After the review an extended order
drill was given, when, stretched clear
across the parade grounds, the regi-
ment, with skirmishers thrown out In
advance, charged upon an imaginary
foe in representation Of an attack
upon an enemy. With the conclusion
Of these maneuvers it was found that
the high wind interfered with the
transmission Of orders and as it was
decidedly uncomfortable for the spec
tators, as well as for the governor and
his staff it was decided to give no
further drill.
When the regiment marched back to
the camp the crowd Of spectators fol-
lowed to witness guard mount. While
this was in progress rain began to fall
and scattered the visitors, some of
whom found temporary shelter in the
tents, while others hurried to the cars.
After the rain ceased, however, the
Third battalion went through the regu-
lar evening drill, which was witnessed
by the governor and his staff from the
shelter of Lieut.. Col. Johnson's tent.
Today will witness the departure of
several companies from the camp. The
pay roll is made up and this morning
Col. Carey, paymaster, will begin pay
ine the soldiers off. AS soon as the
men receive their money they will be
at liberty to go to their homes, as
many furloughs have already been
signed and Others will be granted to-
day as readily as requested. 1t will
take the greater part of the day to pay
of the whole regiment, but arrange
mCnts have been made for Company
Z p L Toll ND INV T
of CroOkston, and probably Company
NJ, of Princeton, to leave st. Paul this
evening. The other companies will get
away tomorrow, SO that by Saturday
evening the camp will be practically
deserted save for the presence of the
guard Of 100, which will be left In
charge Of Capt. Whine.
Some difficulty has been experienced
in getting volunteers for the guard to
care for the camp during the thirty
days furlOugh. All Of the men want
TO go. to their homes and few have
been found that are willing to spend
the month at the camp. In fact, the
men claim that a couple of dozen SOL
diers could easily take care Of the camp
and there is a general inclination to
avoid this duty. Capt. Whine explain
ed to the men yesterday, however, when
seeking volunteers, that those who re-
manned would have very little to do
anG would also be allowed every liberty
consistent with military orders, so it
is believed that today the full number
OF volunteer guards will be received.
The guard will be composed of ninety
privates, nine cOTporals, three ser
geants and three or four commissioned
officers, including a physician. DR..
Sutton will remain.
One case of sickness, believed to be
typhoid fever, developed at camp yes
terday, when 1t was found necessary
to send Private Joseph Coughley, Of
Company l. to. St. Josephs hospital.
DR.. Cole said there was nothing alarm
ing in Coughley's condition. but that as
the symptoms were those of typhoid
fever, it had been deemed safest to at
once send him to the hospital. The
sick soldiers at the hospitals Dr. Cole
reported to be getting along satisfac-
