 great spirit Governor Mclean al
 though on the grounds did not review
 the formation. This was left to Adju-
 tant General Cole. The governor ant
 his staff will review the parade this
 aftrenoon, which will be Governor
 day at the camp. All the organizations
 marched well yesterday and the ap-
 pearance was pretty. The reviewing
 officer accompanied by General Frost
 and followed by the brigade staff and
 the governors staff, stationed them-
 selves in a place in front of the band
 stand and watched the troops as they
 passed by.
 At command of the brigadier gen eral the band struck up "Semper Fi- delis" and the columns resolved them- selves into a column of fours and a march was taken up across the field down the parade ground past the re- viewing officers, the brigade staff in the meantime having taken position at the head of the column. As the turn was made coming down the parade I ground comoany front was assumed and the troops passed the reviewing of l f1cers in that formation. The align ment in almost every instance was good and the applause was frequent The review was not marred by single hitch with the possible exception of balky horse of Troop A. These horses 1 had never taken part in a brigade for nation and for that reason they didn't | know just what to make os the affair. The drivers had hard work to keep them in line, but when they once got going they made good showing. Cap tain Ludington handled the men in good style and a great deal of credit is due the troop for the appearance they have made this, their first encamp- ment. Words of praise were heard on all sides yesterday on the showing of the troopers The brigade was made up in the following order: Signal corps on wheels, Fourth regiment, First regi- ment, Third regiment, Second regiment, machine gun battery light battery of Guilford and Troop A. The men went to their quarters about o'clock, the formation lasting about thirty minutes,

 YESTERDAYS ATTACK.
 After the men of the opposing sides resumed their places on the brigade grounds both sides claimed victory. Colonel Thayer commanding the pro- brigade for the capture of the camp. declared that he penetrated the right wing of the defense and took both his regiments, the Third and Fourth, through the lines of the First and Second without even sight ng the enemy. Colonel Sucher, of the defending body, with his officers, laugh d at this. The latter claimed that the defending force commanded all roads md bridges and could sweep the entire disputed territory with their guns. They further claimed that the lines trough which Colonel Thayer claims 70 have passed were merely outposts. Some feeling, not serious, has arisen as | result of the claims and counter ,laims.
 The maneuvers of the day were simi ar to, if not entirely identical with, the of Monday and Tuesday, xcept for the transportation of the First md Second regiments and the Third md Fourth Yesterday the latter reg ments constituted the provisional force f attack.
 An outpost of four companies, B and l First regiment, and F (the Grays) nd D, Second regiment, did excellent ' york throughout the night Company 1 of the First captured an outpost of l he enemy at a. m., and, it is alleged, Il of the captured men were the more f asily taken because they were sound sleep. The nights work was not without its 1 asualties, for Major Fitch, of the C 'ourth regiment attacking force, hay t lg been in saddle with little to eat and | O sleep since a. nl., fell from his f orse from sheer exhaustion before the attle had been fought out. An ambu- :, lnce was summoned from camp and q 1e victim was removed to his tent. He f. emained unconscious for half an hour q ut 1t is not believed that his condition f. serious. 6 The attacking force left their post h ons at Payne's farm at 2 a. m. At n le hour arbitrarily ppointed-S:30- n ley were in their final positions before IT ,e objective camp, where they re- 4 ained until the United States army ficers, with General Frost, rode out to ok them over for data for report as II !, the tactical value of their positions. e his examination having been complet- ~ I, the battle was declared off and at u 80 the tired soldiers of the attacking , rces began to struggle back to their II larters in Camp Mclean. They had 1 returned before noon.
