Visitors Were Few.
The number OF citizens " no witnessed
the review, were, as before stated. very
small compared with last year, when
thousands of Provo and other Utah
county people we're in attendance. At
that time the date was known from
the beginning of the encampment and
enthusiasm was worked up for the
event This year the uncertainty and
the incident of the Republican conven-
ton, especially the former, both con-
tributed to the lack of attendance
Those who were fortunate enough TO
be present were pleased and inspired
by the martial appearance of the
guardsmen and the military aspect Of
the camp.
