SOLDIERS REVIEWED
BY GOV. DAVIS.
Busy Day for Arkansas State Guard
at Hot Springs Encampment—
Chief Executive Pleased
With Drill.
Hot Springs, Sept. 8.—Today has
been a busy day with the citizen
soldiery now in encampment here.
At 10:30 Gen. Haynes and staff and
a battalion of troops met Gov. Jeff
Davis at the depot as he alighted from
the train and escorted him to the Ar
lington Hotel, where the general has
headquarters. After a rest of one
hour, Gov. Davis was escorted to
Camp Churchill and found the troops
in formation ready to salute the chief
executive of the state. The maneu
vers of the troops on this occasion, it
is claimed by old-timers of the blue
and the gray, proved one of the finest
military exhibitions seen in the state
since 1865. Over 1,700 troops partici
pated and passed in review before the
governor and staff. The march in re
view this afternoon was the biggest
event so far of the encampment. At
2:30 p. m., acting upon orders from
Major General Haynes, the troops
formed in regiments and battalions in
the order named in the reassignment
of companies, and marched out of
camp to Central avenue, and up Cen
tral avenue past the Arlington Hotel,
where the veterans of the Blue and
the Gray were formed into line to re
view them. Preceding the procession
were the sponsors, chaperons and
maids of honor in carriages. Then
followed Gov. Davis, accompanied by
Gen. Churchill, in whose honor the
camp is named, on horseback, imme
diately followed by Gen. Haynes and
staff. To the inspiring strains of
martial music by the First Regiment
Band, the citizen soldiery trooped by
and a finer body of militia never was
reviewed in this state. Nine thousand
people lined both sides of the street
to witness the exhibition march, and
if the boys could have heard all the
compliments passed upon them, the
state guard would have reason to feel
proud of their general appearance.
The fine discipline shown by the
troops surprised even a majority of
the veterans, many of whom grew
enthusiastic as company after com
pany passed by and saluted Old Glory
with presented arms as the flag of the
nation was dipped in acknowledg
ment.
One of the happiest, affairs of the
encampment was the presentation to
night by members of his staff of a
handsome sword to Gen. Haynes.
The presentation speech was made by
Gen. Minor of Newport, and Gen
Haynes made a very felicitous re
sponse. Gen. Horner of Helena also
responded for his chief. The sword is
an imported blade and has a silver
scabbard, with gold trimmings. The
presentation was made at the Arling
ton Hotel, and a large crowd wit
nessed it.
DAUGHTER OF “THE SPY”
STAR OF COMPANY.
To the ex-Confederate veterans of
the community there will be an added
interest in the forthcoming produc
| tion of “Darkness and Daylight,”
| which opens the Newport Opera
j House on September 11, because of
I the fact that the particular star of the
I organization is Miss Sarah Boyd, a
daughter of Belle Boyd of Virginia,
who was known to fame as “The Con
federate Spy.” These same people
will be delighted to know that Belle
Boyd’s daughter now is one of the
] most prominent of the younger ac
j tresses of the country, and that her
| present tour of the South has been
j almost a social triumph, as well as the
| usual hard grind of theatrical life, as
j the ex-Confederate veterans every
| where along the route, as well as their
I wives and daughters, have med with
| each other in extending their hospi
tality to the daughter of their late
“comrade in arms.”
