yesterday at Camp Roosevelt were in spe-
cial honor Of Governor Herreid. 1t has
been customary to march the troops to
the city OF watertovvn have them pass
in review before the governor and staff
in the streets, but the officers decided
that for all purposes and for the sake OF
the physical welfare Of the men 1t was
a better plan to have the ceremonies at
camp.
At 80 pm.r the bugles blew assem-
bly,, and the regiments and squadron pre-
pared to pass in review before the gov
ernor, the commanding officer, the ad-
jutant general and members Of the stairs.
The battery fired special salute when
the governo: and party arrived at camp:
The review completed, the remainder OF
the afternoon was given to the boys for
