WESTMORLAND AND CUMBERLAND YEOMANRY CAVALRY. On Monday last, the week’s work culminated in the review of the troops by COLONEL SAGAR, Inspector of the Northern District. Not many strangers made their way to Penrith. Indeed, it seemed that Westmorland sent the largest contingent of visitors, and even they were not very numerous. The morning broke dull and threatening, but the breeze was stiff enough to send the clouds floating quickly about overhead, and sanguine hopes were entertained of a fine day. The wind, however, ceased blowing, the clouds gathered thicker and thicker, and shortly after the review commenced, the ominous-looking clouds gathered in such dense masses that a downpour of rain followed. There was less stir than usual in Penrith on the morning of the cavalry review day. There were of course plenty of loungers about the street corners; but no bustle whatever was perceptible until eleven o’clock, when the cavalrymen of the two counties assembled at their several quarters, and marched to Great Dockray. The band of the regiment here took up position in the front, and LORD LONSDALE, who rode at the head of the regiment, at once gave the order to “March”. The band struck up a lively air, to which the horsemen kept excellent time. The Dalemain troop led the way. Penrith race-course was reached about half-past eleven. A long line of carriages followed the cavalry to the review ground, and were drawn up in a line on the south side of the ground. Among the company present we observed the COUNTESS OF LONSDALE, LADY SYBIL and LADY VARINA LONSDALE, the HON. LANCELOT LOWTHER, the HON. E. ERSKINE, COLONEL SANDERSON, COLONEL and MRS. NEWDIGATE, LIEUT. COL. SALKELD, MAJOR GENERAL BROUGHAM, SIR R. C. and LADY MUSGRAVE; MR. G. J. JOHNSON, Castlesteads and party; MR. W. PARKER, Carleton Hill; MR. W. PRITT and party, Rampsbeck; MISS CHARLOTTE HARRISON, MR. WM. HARRISON, Penrith; MR. MOSSENDEW, Lowther, &c. After the regiment had wheeled into line, COL. SEGAR (the reviewing officer) accompanied by the HON. HUGH LOWTHER and LIEUT SPEDDING, arrived on the ground. The gallant officer was received with a general salute; and at once, accompanied by the staff, proceeded to inspect the ranks. This over, the troops re-formed line and marched by troops and squadrons. The regiment then marched past by single file, the band playing “Napoleon’s March”. The troops having completed this movement, the next was a trot past by squadrons, which was remarkably well done, the troopers keeping well together. Indeed, taking the regiment throughout, we never saw the men better mounted. The regiment next proceeded with the field movement, which were also well executed. Finally the regiment advanced in review order and saluted, after which a square was formed, and, COLONEL SEGAR, in addressing the regiment, said that on Saturday, on foot parade, he was very much pleased to see so fine a regiment, and the manner in which they marched past and went through their exercise was very credible. The turn out to-day was very good, but their overalls were rather too short. Otherwise their turn out was very good, and they looked soldier-like on parade He was much pleased with the manner in which they went through their parade and field movements. They had gone through everything to his satisfaction, but still there was room for improvement, and the way to get that improvement was by attending preliminary drills. It was not fair to those who did attend the preliminary drills for others to stay away. At those drills they learned their movements by fours, and all troop movements and skirmishing, which enable them, when they came on duty, to take their position in the ranks of the regiment. He knew the difficulties which sometimes attended their preliminary drill, many of them having to come a long way, but he hoped they would try and do it. Turning to LORD LONSDALE, the colonel added, “My Lord, I shall have great pleasure in making a favourable report of your regiment. I think the men have shown great intelligence in skirmishing and outpost duty”. On the conclusion of the reviewing officer’s address, LORD LONSDALE ordered the troops to re-form line and then addressed a few words to them, after which the regiment marched back to the town. Though rain was falling in drizzling showers, the return of the cavalry to Penrith was as attractive as ever. The beautiful landscape which can be overlooked from Penrith race-course was, however, partially obscured by the mist which hung heavily over the surrounding country. Indeed the mountains surrounding Ullswater were scarcely discernible; but the effect of the down-hill march of the mounted troops was not marred. On reaching Great Dockray, the regiment was dismissed, and thus “cavalry week” of 1874 was brought to a close. The 5th Cumberland Rifle Volunteers, under the command of MAJOR HARRISON, kept the ground for the Yeomanry, who were assisted by a strong detachment of the county constabulary, under the supervision of MR. DUNNE, chief constable. In the evening the streets of Penrith were very busy. Many of the tradesmen closed their shops in the course of the afternoon, and the day was generally observed as a holiday. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ barb, ontario, canada.
