Brigade Review Yesterday Was
 First in Many Years
WAS HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL
All Officers In Encampment Will Be Entertained Tonight at the Coun- try Club--Invted to Attend
 Baseball Tomorrow.

The review of the entire A. N. G. yes terday afternoon was marked success. It surpassed even the expectations of the officers, and forecasts an exception ally fine review today, when Governor i Cunningham, accompanied by his entire | staff, will be present.
 Inspector General Jigon was the re- | viewing officer yesterday afternoon. He was accompanied by Adjutant General 1 Brandon and Qartermaster General 1 Holt and all expressed themselves as l well satisfied.
 The regiments were first formed in line l and then passed in front of the review l ing stand, led by the various bands. The l First, Sc ,ond and Third infantry passed in the order named, and were followed i, by the cavalry. The artillery was not I on review, but will probably be on the l field this afternoon.
 Excellent Showing. Following tho review, the Second regi- ment had the regular dress parade All l Of the organizations made an excellent l showing. Considering that this was the 1 first review of the entire brigade in years. 1t was regarded as little short of mar eous.
 The success of yesterdays review en- l couraged the officers at camp to be- 1 lieve that the review this afternoon would be the biggest feature of the encamp- ment. It is expected that several thous- l and people will be on the parade grounds, and that the fair sex will be largely rep | resented.
 Yesterday afternoon there was an im- mense crowd on the field, despite the fact that for a while it looked as if there l might be thunder shower. The parade 1 ground was encircled with spectators, and lsnk w.1, r.ka ,4xr md 4wA. 1 deep. Some were on horseback, and some were in buggies and carriages Many of the most prominent people in Birmingham were out, and today it is expected that the largest number of the week will be present.
 The Governor.
 As yet, General Clark has not decided whether a company will be detailed as 1 guard of honor for the governor, but he will make that decision this morning, ac- 1 cording to the wishes of the governor. l A large number of the staff of Governor Cunningham were out at the parade yes- ] terday afternoon, and this afternnon 1t is thought that more of the staff will l be in attendance than at any time in several years.
 Governor Cunningham is expected about 4:3O o'clock, and very soon after he ar rives the first call for the review will be sounded. Every regiment will be on its mettle, and all will seek to receive a word of commendation from the gov ernor.
