Our Boys at Sussex. REVIEW, SHAM FIGHT, &e.

— eee

Os the evening of the 30th, when the day’s work was over, many of the;men and ‘ fhic ers went to

CHB VILLAGE OF SUSSEX to see and be seen. Large numbers of men from the other regiments went also; and there was quite a stream of red uniforms, mexed with the dark blue of the artillery and tie showy ones of the hnasars, on the rvad to the village There is notbing re- markable about the village itself, but the telds and trees have a style of their own, different from whal we are accustomed to see on the Island. Although not very far off, the village was quite hidden by the heavy foliage of afew elm trees that were scattered here and ‘here between it and the camp. It lies beside a brook about forty feet wide,which winds down Sussex Valley, and to reach it from the camp we had te cross a bridge built in three spans, and, perhaps, a hundred and fifty feet long. The troops of volunteers which paraded the streets this evening behaved very well. It was evident that even the mild discipline of a volunteer camp had its effect; and, as far as could be seen, there was not the slightest disturbance. Ihave heard a re- pert since my return that a small riot had taken place between some of the 82nd and the civilians of the place. The only found ation for the report was a dispute between one of the 82nd an! some other men at a so-called officer’s club room within the camp, The disturbance was quickly ended by his captain marchi.g him up to h’s quarters. With the exception of this, there was noth ing to mar the excellent behaviour of the men throughout t).eir stay in Sussex.

THE NIGHT BiLFORE THE BATTLE,

At ten o’elock the camp of tie 82nd was tolerably quiet, the exertions of the after- noon having apparently calmed them down. Soon after turning in for the night, the temperature went down rapidly, accom- panied with a heavy fog or dew. This happened every niyht we were here, and it was almost imposeible to sleep on account of the cold. The men complained a good deal ; and, suppose,to make up for it, they began their merry joking i-ng before gun- fire. It must have been as ec irly as three in the mornipg when every one seemed to be awake. However, all turned out to drill at six o’clock in very good condition. Somewhere about this time the battalion from St. John and soon after the two bat- taliens from Halifax arrived and marched up to their camps ia excellent style. They were headed by their bands and it was quite a stirring sight to see them. As they marched pas’ the other camps they were loudly cheered.

GETTING INTO LINE,

At ten o'clock a)! the troops were ordered to fallin, in full uniform, and then, soon after, the battalions could be seen march- ing’ out, each from its own encampment, in a long column, headed by its own band, te the Review ground. It was avery pretty sight to see them moving among the trees and at last take up the position assigned to them. Sometimes twe or three battalions were moving at the same time, each band playing—which made it all the livelier, although possibly less musical. From the grand stand, immediately opposite the centre of the line of battalions, the view was very good. They stood in columns of companies, awaiting the arrival of the Gevernor General. The bands were united into one and stood behind them.

WHEN THE MARQUIS ARRIVED

there was a grand salute given by present- ing atms, and the bands playing ‘‘ God save the Queen.” This was not impressive, the distance being too great. Then the inspection took place, which I suppose proved satisfactory, as the columns were suon after extenJed in double line along the field. There was a short interval between each battalion, and when extended this double line was nearly half a mile long. Three feus-de-joie where then fired. The first was rather a failure, but the second and third were very good. It had a re- markable effect as it flashed up into the air and ran along the whole line, up the front rank and down the rear rank, in less time than you eoul! count five. Then

THE MARCH PAST

was begun. The bands were moved forward to within two hundred feet of the stand. The cavalry led. The horses were very unsteady, and when the lines passed the stand they were anything but straight. They were receive’ in silence by the spec- tators, who, no doubt, did net understand the extreme difficulty of keeping up a straight line with cavalry. The artillery passed by as if they had been fastened to- gether, and were loudly applauded. Then, 1 think, came the Halifax troops, who did very well, and were well received. Then came the 82nd. ‘They did as well as the best, and were daly appreciated by the spectators, with whom the battalion seemed quite popular. The St. John men did very well in There was less regularity among the other troops. They all returned and passed asecond time,the cavalry and artillery at a gallop. Unfortunately this time the bands did not strike up properly. There was a confusion of time, and as the troops marched it unstealied them all. The 82nd faired no better than the rest, its leading company even breaking its formation.

COLONEL DOMVILLE,

who commanded the Hussars made quite a dashing cavalry oficer. He galloped about the field a good «eal accompanied by two erderlies. [He see:aed to have many friends on the ground. Once, when he was speak- ing to some friend» near the stand, he sent his orderlies off on a message, By and by they eame dashing back, the first one was carrying @ chair, aid the second, not to be outdone was carrying two chairs. These were handed to some ladies. This gallant action was much applanded. There was another incident jast hefore the second march past. An old man, with a lame leg, started from the ieft of the stand across the field towards the band. He started in such a determined way that phim ly = 4 began to laugh. He kept on, however, till he got to the band. There somebody evidently told him something thet made him change his mind, for he turned round and made for the right of the stand | ard as hecould go. The peopl: laughed more than ever, and began to clap him. This seemed to frighten him aud he stumped along ata fearful rate evi- dently to get clear of some imaginary dan-

THE SHAM FIGHT

took place, but it is impossible to describe . this without a knowledge of the ground and also of military movements. The troops then refermed their line of batallions, and, having saluted the Governor General, the reviments began to file off towards their camps. Ina short while, everything was quiet again. and dinner was prepared and eaten. After dinner 1t seemed to be a gen- eral holiday for everybody. Some of the 82nd got up a scratch match at cricket with the 71st, which, however, they lost. Then the men of the 82nd took to every imaginable shape of sky Jarking. They had a grand sham fight, in which any man that could invent a new manceuvre became commander-in-chief for the time being. They were around with boards, sticks or anything that looked as unlike a rifle as possible. There were skirmishes, charges, reviews, all mixed up with eight-handed and four-handed reels, &c. The number of orders that were shouted was alarming. \t one time they had formed themselves

toa double line, and then came the uder from Major General Weeks, ‘‘ Two tiles on your right, front rank two paces bto the front, rear rank two paces)

horse — pass — through—o—o-—o. ten o'clock came, it seemed doubtful whe- ther they could be got toturn in. How- ever, all went on according to regulation ; but after the lights were put out, the fun and frolic seemed to go on all through the night. The total amount of sleep obtained by the battalion that night was not much. In the merning there was a report that a noble Major, who had been on parade during the night, had gone to one of the men’s tents by mistake, it being pitch dark, and put his head through the door. By some means or other he moved suddenly into the tent and came down upon his hands and knees. He immediately apelo- gised to the occupants of the tent for his intrusion and acknowledged that all men were equal. Thereupon they gave him three cheers. It was taken up in the other tnts, and there was tremendous hurrahing all through the eamp. Itis rumored that he proceeded on to anotker tent, where he got.into difficulties with the doctor, that the guard was called upon to settle the matter, and that there was a large amount of indignation expended in the affair.

The camp broke up early in the morning, and after breakfast the batallion moved down to the station, where, after some de- lay, it was embarked on board a special,and started for Pointdu Chene. The men now began to show signs of giving out, and many attempted to get a few winks of sleey:; but still, while one half were sleep- ing, the other half seemed anxious to soothe them by beating the drums and blowing the bugle. On board the steamer the fun came to a stop, and for two hours or more the 82nd was sleeping soundly. As the steamer neared Summerside they roused up again, and there were some quiet exhibitions of skill and a little vocal music. The battalion embarked on board the train Summerside for Charlottetown, and arrived there at one o’clock on Sunday morning without any accident. Such is the history of the expedition te Sussex camp, A. D., 1881.— VistToR.
