Camp Chamberlain, Mantle, Aug Is.
1t is many years since the Connect
cut National guard encamped at Nj
antic, enjoyed such lovely weather on
Governors day as that of yesterday.
It was ideal in every sense. The sun
shone brilliantly in the blue sky and
it's warm rays were relieved by cool
breeze which blew from the sound.
Beautiful and lovely in other ways
than weatherwise was Governors day.
When the time, 2:3O approached for
the review of the entire brigade by
Governor Chamberlain and staff, the
large camp grounds presented grand
! sight. Thousands of persons throng-
ed the field at all points. AS each
regiment marched forth and took it's
proper place the beauty Of the sight
was considerably increased. Along
the entire field were ranged the diff
ferent companies of the entire brigade.
Natti1y attired in their blue uniforms,
wearing white gloves, collars and
black ties, standing with shoulders
erect and head straight, perfectly still.
the soldiers made a handsome appear
ance. AS each company marched
past the reviewing place every soldier
looked his finest. It was sight long
to be remembered. The soldiers were
greeted with warm applause by the
spectators. With dress parade, when
the soldiers appeared in the same uni
form except they wore duck pants,
the drills or the work Of the afternoon
for the soldiers ended.
In the morning the members Of the
Second regiment went out to dig
trenches. Company G was in charge
of Lieutenant HaIpin, while Lieuten-
ant Sandland commanded Company
A. The local soldiers did their work
we'll and soon had the trenches dug.
