All other Corps wore billct<:d at their respective II cad Qunrt<:rs, nnd •omc were pro\ idcd with free billets by townspeople nncl municipalities.

The meld Batt-Ory exccutc<l Eomo impromptu m:mccuvrc., for Oolonul Gibbon, C.H., R.A. io a s111art nnd correct manner. The horses nro much improved, ns nrc n.lso the gunnera iu lhcir movements.

'!'he Cavalry formed in squadrons, nppcarc<l well up to their work, nnrl tho officers were eupcrbly mounted nnd drcssc1l in tho Cobourg nnd Port Hope Troo~. Thcir horses nlEo \"astly improved in condition nnd general nppcnranoo. Tho Cobourg Troop wore scarlet tunics and b~s hclmel;,,, nnd were rcmnrk:nbly clean nnd f;Oldicrlikc.

Tho Garrison Bntteric.;; attached to C<!rtain Infnntry Corps, were nmongst the stc:idicst and ~t drilled of :ill tho Companies ; nud I Leg to express n hope that guns may soon be provido<l for their instruction :is artillerymen.

The wc:ithcr during tJ10 whole week: was opprCSFivoly close nnd hot, nnd the men i;ufii red much in tho rod cloth clothing. During my ins1oection of tl1e 4Gtb nt Port Hope nt 5 n.m., on the 11th intllnnt, n number of men fell down in the ranks nnd were borne nway to th rear in n fainting stntc. The hent w:is ccrt:liuly oppressive even nt that early hour, but the nu WllB not liiah enourth to striko men down. No similar c:t..~s occurred in other COrpl' 0 0

working up to noon in the mid-dny mm. The.~ cno;ualtics were attributed by the <.:omm:md iog Officer to the early parade, nnd the men being unpro\•idcd with brC!lkfnst before turnin out. For this ren.son o.lono tho formation of cnwps would be pr" rnblo to bill ts.

'l'his B:ittalion hn.r; been under m:my lli~aihnnt~igcs sinco itrl embodiment, and no pnrt nf it hcc; ever been before on pcrmnncnt <luty.

Tho prc5ent Drill Insh'uctor hns not in my opinion nor in tho opinion of the J,iutcnnnt Coloocl1 performed his dutic .. with thnL zeal and industry which is expected. 'rh(! tlro .Nnp:mee Corup:mics of whom I wn.~ obliged to make an unfavourable report, owing to thrir neglect to turn out for inspection by mo or tho Brigade Jfajor, nftcr tho drilb of 1 li7-f.~ were prel!Cilt on thiB occasion in goo<l strength. The Lieutenant-Colonel io now hopeful that tl1ey will maintain their efficiency. Under these circumstances. I b~ti leave to withdraw my r1.>c-0mruendntion for their being dllib:mdcJ.

As n Battalion the4Stl1 looked rcruarknbly well. Clothing :md belts well fitted nntl nrms nnu accoutrement.c; in c:r.ccllcnt ortler. The phy~iquc of the men wns very remnrkablr, nml they were amongst tho clc.inest lool.ing corps I hnV"o in!<pected this year. 'l'hc Battalion movement~ were pcrfonncd in n nrnuuc1· creditable to them a.fter i::o Ehort n trainin~, hut

evinced n laxity of Company drill which 1 thought ncccss~ry to represent to them. 'fheir performance of the manual nnil platoon exercises c;-pecially ju tific<l thi;i ohscrvntion .'l'hc

marchin; pa t was decidedly good :mu sc~dy. The officers appcnrccl to know their places arnl ~vc correct nod timely words of command. '!'he Ji ,.,ht infnntry movements performed Lefore mo \Vere done correctly nod Elllnrtly. With a cap~1blc nucl nclivo Drill Instructor ! nnticipate that the 4Sth will soon equal any other corps in my Dic:trict.

The Lt.-Coloncl descrrcs high praise for the manner in which ho pcrr;onally conductetl his duties in Camp, nnd kept tho men up to their work, he being constantly prc~nt him,clf, night and day, superintending nil arrangements and I>ril!E. The concluct of the Jll('D h:i.~ been blame!~, no ooruplnints of nny kind having reached me, either from their own ofliccro or from citizen~.

You will no to the mnrkc1l increase of strength in the corps composing tl1c Brigailcs under the chnrgc .of Lieut-Colonels Kin,; and Fletcher, their inercnso in gcncr:U cfficicnol is in Etill

grc:itcr rnbo.

Thoroughly nrmed noel equipped, of splendid physi<iuc, rapidly Lccoming efficient in drill, of great esprit.tie.corp, nnd animated by the ruost devoted spirit of loynlty, these fine rural corps of an netual atrcngth of O\"Cr throo thousn111l lh·o hundred ofliccrs an1l men, of whom thrco thousnnd were prc.<;ent at the inspection parnJes, form a Forco which I fool justly proud to have in charge; nnd distributed as tho~ corps 1iri11cipally arc, on tho most exposell Frontier Lino of the Dominion, they compose a vnluablo contingent for it.~ def1:ncc.

The 55th, or "Mcgantic" Battalion and the 5Sth "Con1pton" have, ns newly rni eil

Regiments, progressed mo:>t rapidly ; the former of these, I regret that special duty on the Frontier prevented me from in8pccting; the report of J,icut..-IJolonel King, who took tho cluty i~ however, most i;atblfactory. The '·Compton" Dattnlion, I inspectcil on Dominion Day ; and a finer Battalion I have rarely seen. .Althou"h EC!ltterctl o\'cr a wide country, all the companies composing the Regiment mm;tcroo to

0rcther nt Cookshiro; when in concert with

the Cookshiro and Sherbrooke Troop of Uavnlry :ind the Sherbrooke Battalion, it took part

in a Field Day.

Somo of the companies in thi.<:1 Battallion marched over fifty mil~, to tako rart in this review, thus giving four or five day:; of their time without extra rsy. The towoship and county councils of the County of Comptom, defrayed tho cost of rationing the men ou the

mnrch, and at Cookshirc.

I have found that the system of Battnlioniziug the rural oorupnnics h:l.'! been one of tltl

great nids to tho succc"s which has attended their organization.

The want of efficient instruction in mu ... ketry is much fclt, awl l r" pcctfully trust some means of supplying a course of this important branch of milit.'lry t!tlucatiou way ere long he

afforded.

The targets lately supplied to me, have bc1:n clistributcd through my Di:;trict. but the

supply is not ad0<1uatc to the m1uircmcnts.

I lrn.vc mucl1 plca::.urc iu expres ing to you my gcncrtll sati fact.ion with the offict.rs nod non-co1mni..,, ... ioncd officers attached to the 8taff in my District, and hayc CEpccially to \iring lo

your notice the exertions of Licut.-Coloncl King, whid1 have so much contriliutA'J to the suc­

ce:s:1 which hns att.codcu tho organizntion of tho nllW corps in his Brigade Division.

I hnvo also to note to you mo!'t favourably the zcnl anJ proficiency 1li~plnyoo by Cnpt:Uu and Adjutant Pope of the 58th "Co1111)ton" Battruiou, by Cnplnin nnd Acljut:mt W. S. ~mi th
