The sports came off today in dull weather & proved a great success.

The drill was excellent & worthy of the Guards although very little time was given to prepare for it. A party of 150 men of the brigade gave an exhibition of physical drill under an English instructor & it was one of the finest exhibitions possible.

The drill was very even, we lost on the wagon & also the tent altho' the Judges decision on the latter was open to dispute.
