view a more satisfactory appearance than
either the first or second, inasmuch as the
regiments in the Third Division have more
generally been equipped and uniformed than
the others. A single line was formed,
extending for nearly mile, just southeast
of the Kelley field. The columns were then
formed by fours, then followed quickly regi-
mental platoons in line by companies the
division advancing thus 1900 men with flags
flying and bands playing to the reviewing

of the moment said that ''No nation on
earth could make such showing in thirty
days time"
