Jn the mess hhll the men were ■ about ready for luncheon and the long l tables were piled high with bread, etc. 1 The Governor stopped at one plate, picked up a slice of bread and ate a, portion of it. He placed the rest in his : vest pocket. "Just for good luck, sir," he said smilingly to Captain George C. Jack. > Governor Brumbaugh made the; rounds of the armories in his car and only William Ball,his private secretary accompanied him. The Big Event The visit of the Gevernor was the big event at both the cavalry and the infantry armories to-day the last day before the men entrain for Mt. Gretna and. who knows perhaps Mexico and beyond. , Late this afternoon First Sergeant Charles Kline distributed the equip ment, including saddles, etc. The men put in the remainder of the day pack ing. The troopers have been ordered to entrain about 6 or 6:30 o'clock Sun- ! day and when the command leaves the armory it will be filled to its full i (implement. A waiting list of enough 1 desirable recruits to fill another troop will be sent on to Gretna later. The Whistling Chorus The first night In the armory last evening was a niemorabel one. The men had cot» on the drill floor but there was little sleep for anybody until | an hour or so before dawn this morning. Second Lieutenant Roberts who remained on duty until the early hours heard pretty good evidence of the joyous wakefulness of the troopers sometime 'round 2 o'clock. The troop to a man joined in a whistling chorus that lasted for sev eral hours. Over and over again the odd choral combination echoed through the deserted Eighth ward —j and there was whistling in every pos- , sible key. "On my Way. to Mandalay,"^ 'was the favorite and "Good-by, Little! Girl, Good-by," was a good second i choice. Some Who "Want to Go" Sometime before 3 o'clock whistling lost its charm and the troopers let I loose what was left of their enthusiasm j in long cheers —for each man. Recruiting is going on a-pace at the | Troo parmory. Telegrams arrive from I j time to time from ex-members of the command who are willing and \ eager to come from out-of-town to; enlist. Five members of the State | police, all ex-members wrote Captain j | Jack that they'll enlist if they can ar-I : range to have their positions kept open j | for them. Another busy recruit added I jto the Troop's ranks to-day was j j David MeC'onnell, famous throughout,' I this: section of the State as a basket -j j bal' player. Several>ex-regular eav- j ! alrymen have joined including one ' 1 man who only a few weeks ago saw active service in Mexico with "G" j troop of the Twelfth cavalry. Col. Ott a Visitor Ex-troop officers have been frequent, visitors to the armory. Among those ' ; who spent a good part of the day there ] was Lieutenant Colonel F. M. Ott, ! former commander of the Troop, i Grant Koons, ex-first sergeant, and a ! hos» of others. Lieutenant Edgar C. ! Hummel, a former lieutenant of the Troop, and now commissary of the: Second Squadron got his orders by j telegraph this morning to report at ' Mt. Gretna to-morrow. Mothers, sis terf: and wives are frequent visitors at' the Troop armory, and proud troopers! arc having the time of their lives 1 j "showin' 'em about." For an hour or so to-day the troop- , ers got a taste of rifle and pistol drill. | j Saber drills have been discarded al-j though the men when mounted will (carry this weapon along. No drilling! with horses even for the recruits will be possible before the men get to Mt. Gretna at least, and possibly not even j then. The raw recruit may not get a chance to straddle a mount before 1 he gets to the border. Tlie "Chief of the Body Guard Shortly before 12 o'clock to-day j ; Trumpeter Paul E. Kurzenknabe sounded "assemhly" and a few minutes] A later the entire troop lined up in the; TUNE 23, 1916. street. Then the long: gray car of ihi State's chief executive magistrate slipped up to the curb. Captain Jack met Governor Brum baugh and Mr. Ball and at the Gov- I ernor's request escorted him to the ' right of the line. As the Governor | I stopped for a moment to each men he : said: A Governor's "Gooil-by" : "Tjet me congratulate you on your i splendid appearance. The country; j would surely he in a bady way if it 1 did not have such as you to fall back upon. I've more than a kindly inter ! est In you men; the Troop is the gov-! | ernor's bodyguard, you know. I've! followed your work carefully. Your ; work at Pittsburgh was particularly) commendable. Ah," lie nodded ap | P''relatively as he noted an ex-regular ! j with automatic slung to his hip, "YOU I i seem to be fully prepared for real ) service. My best wishes go with you.! Take care of yourselves, boys. Good-' : by ana good luck —wherever you go!" j While inspecting the armory the j Governor heartily commended Cap ! tain Jack upon the splendid condition 1 ;of the men. And after he had broken I | bread, the assembled troopers gave a! i real cavalryman's cheer to the de- j : parting executive. At the Infantry Armory Governor Brumbaugh talked from ! 'he platform of the infantry armory! Iti the assembled men of Companies! D and I. He complimented them on , their splendid appearance, fitness and! patriotism and said that as always,! j Pennsylvania's Guardsmen stand ever ready to uphold the honor of the Flag. ' 'Prior t<> meeting the men upstairs! , Governor Brumbaugh met Colonel j i Maurice E. Finney and the other ofTl- 1 cerf of the Eighth In the officers' i rcom. ' "Rookies" to-day got their first try out with rifles in the open lots near' the armory. New names were added to the rosters, too.

They are Earl, Charles and Phillip Rickley. | The Message of the Clover I When Colonel Finney, Captain Owen^ M. Copelin, inspector of small arms, and Captain Harry H.
