SOLDIERS IN REVIEW
TROOPS AT FIT. RILEY MAKE A.
FINE APPEARANCE

FORT RILEY, Kas., Oct. 26.-A
review Of all the troops in camp, 49,
300 In number, was held Saturday
morning In Smoky Hills fats, at the
southern end of the reservation and
as a purely military spectacle 1t IL
doub tful If, In this country, at least,
1t was ever surpassed. There was an
absence Of the glitter and gay colors
If holiday occasions. The uni forms
were for the most part stained with
hard work, but the men, after weeks
OF drill, were in excellent condition.,
and when they streamed in long,
close set ranks, past the reviewing
stand, Gen. Ian Hamilton Of the
British army could not contain his
expressions Of pleasure, and repeated
ly expressed his qualification. Even
the subalterns Of the regular army
seemed pleased with themselves and
al the world at the conclusion OF
the review, and that tells, IS much
as anything can, that the affair was
most decisive success.
The FIST brigade under General L.
d. Brant had the right of the line.
1t comprised the Second, Twenty
first and one battalion of the Twelfth
r gular Infantry. They came in col
umns OF companies and made a fine
moving.
General Bell, superbly mounted on
a white-faced chestnut, came next
with his brigade, made up OF the
Sixth and Twenty fifth regular in
fantry and the Fifty-tifth Iowa.
General Bell has been extremely for
tunate In the makeup Of his brigade,
for there are no finer organizations
in the army than the SitXh and
Twenty fifth, and the Fifty first
Iowa is without DOUBT one Of the
st national guard organizations In
the country. It's bearing and march,
ing called forth warm praise on all
sides. This regiment has made a
most favorable impression On the
uficers Of the regular army for its
ability in the field, and its work
today showed 1t was as good in the
fancy points Of the game Of war as
when IL is marching over the hills or
covering long stretches of dusty
roads. The Third brigade, under
General Barry, was headed by the.
Missouri provisional regiment, that
looked and marched exceedingly we'll.
It's ranks were full and we'll kept and
it was highly praised.
The Second Nebraska, that came
next, was as good as the best Of the
national guard regiments. Colonel
Mcdonnell, on handsome dun
horse, was a conspicuous figure at
the head Of his regiment and the
battallons that came after him were
as satisfactory to look upon as the
colonel.
The cavalry brigade, under General
Carr, followed the infantry, and in
appearance and marching it sustained
It's reputation Of being portion or
the finest light cavalry in the world.
Nine batteries Of artillery rumbledI
along after horsmen had passed and
then came the prosalc but highly
important quartermaster' train. I'M
the afternoon there were athleticl
games by enlisted men OF the REGULAR
army on the open air gymnasium be-
tween Fort Riley and Junction City.
Major Baker, the chief quartermas-
ter, delivered a lecture on "TranspoT-
tation," which was highly interest,"
ing to the military men.
