There was a field-day at Chobham camp yesterday. First the

whole of the troops turned out on private parade, and then went through a variety of evolutions against a supposed enemy advancing from Guildford. The troops went through their work with admirable precision; and the effect of the shifting movements, the varied uniforms, the gleaming arms, the smoke from the guns, now obscuring, now revealing, detached portions of the troops, with the sun shining brilliantly over all, was very striking and beautiful to the eye of the British spectator, unused to large military displays.
