Inspector General Breckinridge in
the morning reviewed the Third divis-
ion of the First corps and the afternoon
was devoted to regimental and brigade

division presented at review more
satisfactory appearance than either the
first or second, inasmuch as the regi-
ments in the third division have more
generally been equipped and uniformed
than the others. A single line was
formed, extending for nearly a mile,
just southeast of the Kelley field. The
columns were then formed by fours,
then followed quickly regimental pla-
toons in line by companies, the division
advancing thus, 5000 men with flags
flying and bands playing, to the re-
viewing stand. It was sight that
warmed up the martial spirit of the old
warriors who witnessed it and one
officer, in the enthusiasm of the mo-
ment said that no nation on earth could
make such showing in 80 days time.
