Governor's Review!

Sunday at Camp Pingee was a groa d'ay all around. Early ia the morning the crowds of visitors began to arrlve and before 10 o'clock all tlhe road.s leading to Island Lake were thronged wii li pedestrians, bicydes and car riages on their way to visit the boys in camp and lake in the grand review in the afternoou. Then came the ex cursiou trains wMcll weee loade) wiih sigfatseers f rom all parts of tli( state. The majority of the visitoTS brought tlieir luuch baskets with thera and picnicked in . the siirroundiug .moves, but largo nuinbers were cared for by the soldier boys, wlio kep ■mess tents bospita.bly open to theii friends. The hour öf the review's iirst cal was set for 2:30. For an hour or two previous to this time cloixds wero gathering óver the camp, black aiu forbiddiag as nighc. Then a few drops of rain feil and the wind rose to quite serious proportions. Tihe ef ficient way in whieh the tents were put up, however. prevented any mis haps, and no damage was done Every one found shelter sornewnere and the wind and rain lasted only a few moments. Theti the sun came out again and srniled as if in a.pprcciation o'f the joke he had been play ing on the people by giving them a seare. The regimeuts filed out to the flelds wüiere an estimated udience oí 10,000 people watehed thein attentively. They got into a long ine of blue with white raarkings, burnished rifles and glittering sworos. Ti:e governor aiïd ■staff rode slowly up and took a position facing the treops. Whe-n all was ready the word was given . and thf eommander-in-chief rode around the brigiade, down in front and up behmd them. As he passed tho regiments on either side the band struek up "Hail to the Clvief." When the govei-nor had passed the review started and the regulars, led by Ltt.-üol. Bennett on a large white norse, made a fine showing in spire of the smallness of their mmvbers. Then came the regiments. The colonel rode in front until opposite the staff and then, wit'h the ad.iutant and lien'enanicolonel, he remained with the staff until his regiment had passed. Then he and his offleers galloped off to their places again. Tlie commander-inchief showed the proper military courtesy in every instance v,-here it was required of liim. As the JjVmrtÜ came in front of the governor it comn;cnced to rain lightiy and the regi?nents all caught it beavlly later on. No hurry resulted, however, and m about an hour and a half the goveinor's review 'had come and gone. but was not forgotteii. 'The rain kopt coming down 'harder and harder and the men were ail wel by the time they 'gor to their tents. Then the sun came out agaiü, and made things picasant. Praises were heard from all quar ters for the g-ood work of Company A, First regiment, our own company. From both a military and social standpoint it is safe to say that there was not a more popular lot of men in camp than the Ann Arbor Light Infantry. Those who partook of their hospitality Sunday are loud in their praises of the consideration shown them. Company A had 436 guests at the dinner Sunday. The big mess tent was filled over and over again with a hungry crowd, but the supply of provisions seemed inexhaustible and everybody was satisfied. Sheriff Judson enriched the cosipany's treasury by $10 after eating what ríe said was a dinner fit for a king. The row of tents allotted to Ann Arbor were gay with visitors all day yesterday. The young la dies were there in full force and received gallant treatment wherever they went. During the whole time the relations of the Ann Arbor boys with the men from Adrián, whose tents were aeross the way, were most pleasant and many friendships were formed. Co. A returned Monday morning. The boys looked strong and healthy and seem to have stood the week's encampment very well. They presented a fine appearance as they marched up Main st. Serg. Rem. Jones and 8erg. Bruce Monroe walked back from Camp, making the distance, 19 miles, in six hours in heavy marching order. They carried the new shelter tents, haversack and canteen.
