The piece notes a warm Governor's Review with the regiment moving in formation. Brig. Gen Chandler and General DunoVant attend along with aides and staff. Ladies turnout strengthens the scene as the governor praises military discipline and suspects no misconduct. Captain W. G. Stewart and Lancaster Rifles are among observed officers.
