In arriving on the grounds. 1t was
fully ten minutes before they put in APP
pearance and no time was then lost in
going through the ceremonies, which
were most imposing. AS the governor
rode on to tn efleld to review the troops
in line the consolidated bands of the
regiments played Hail to the Chief"
BY 1907 the Guard commenced to move
in review and 1t took but sixteen min
utes for it to pass the reviewing stand.
The men wore the fatigue uniform with
legglns and white gloves and made a
splendid showing. The brigade passed

corps, Fourth regiment, First regiment,
Second regiment, Third regiment, First
Separate company. machine gun bat

The event Of the day was the review
of the brigade by Governor Lounsbury
and staff, which. was witnessed by up
wards of 5000 people. This is a much
smaller attendance than is generally
present on Governors Day" and was
undoubtedly due in a great measure to
the unfavorable weather of the morn
ing.
The heavy downpour Of rain at
O'Clock, the hour set for the parade,
caused a rostponement of about half
an hour, although the shower lasted less
than FIFTEEN minutes, At the appointed
time the troops We're all assembled in
their respective company streets and
the field and line officers were preparing
to mount their horses when the shower
descended and upset the programme
temporarily. The 1000 or 5000 specta-
tors stampeded for shelter and even the
guard house was not ignored by the la
dies in their flight from the rain. Brig
adiar General Frost at once ordered the
troops to be retired, but held in readi-
ness for the first clear interval This
did not necessitate vey long wait
and as the sun peeped through the
clouds the brigade was again called out
AT PAS O'Clock the brigade had form
ed and awaited the arrival of the COVER
nor and staff, who were somewhat late
