The Major moved quickly, and during the evening and night had his non-commissioned officers riding hard through the country warning out his troopers.

The place of rendezvous was the Toronto Exhibition Grounds, and by day-break the troop was all mustered in saddle, and ready for service.

At 8 o'clock a.m.on June 2nd they left by the steamer "City of Toronto" for Port Dalhousie, where they arrived about 11.30.Major Denison immediately entrained his men and horses on the Welland Railway and proceeded to Port Robinson, being under orders to report to Col.Peacocke.At Port Robinson the troop detrained, and after hastily feeding the horses and men, started for Chippawa on a gallop.

On arrival there the troop halted for an hour or two, to have the horses' shoes reset; which being attended to, the command again took the road for New Germany, where he reported to Col.

Peacocke about 5.30.
This gallant corps had moved with such celerity that within ten hours after leaving Toronto they were at the extreme front, a good deal of the distance having been covered by hard and rapid riding.
