This was dode at three o'clock, and here Major-General Broadwood conducted the in- spection.
The Town Hall was practically flied by the volunteers and in the gallery there was quite a number of spectators. la front of the massed troops was the Light Horse, behind" whom came the Mounted Infantry, the T. F. HOUGH,
