TUESDAY At BENNINGTON.
A Quiet Day and a
Great Crowd.
THE GOOD THINGS THAT MAY
BE LOOKED FOR.

QudILSTt. rTbnk v. w nlte proves 10 De
the right man for the place. His unassum-
ing courtesy, which never forsakes him, il
manifested toward all the distinguished |
gentlemen who are arriving by every train.
He is courteously assisted by Hon. II. G. |
Root and A. P. Childs.
Hon. Justin 8. Morrill, is quartered at |
Hon. II. G. Roots. Hon. Edward J. |
Phelps, the accomplished president Of the
centennial commissioners, is in town and 10
active in perfecting the details of the core
monies of the occasion.
At four O'Clock Col. George w. Hooker
with the Windham county battalion march,
ed through the streets amid the applause
and congratulations of the people. Col.
Hooker rode at the head of his command
and attracted much attention, as well he
might from his commanding appearance.
He was accompanied by some twenty-five
aids on horseback followed by seven humid
red veterans, and this reception has been
the best feature of the centennial thus far.
| All honor is due to Col. Hooker for the
patriotism and energy which has brought
from Windham so large corps of the vet
Grams of the war.
Most of the members OF the staff of the
various commanders are already here, and
the military demonstrations will probably
exceed any that New England has yet seen.
The press of the country is largely repre-
scented, and the ceremonies will uudoubted-
ly be well reported.
Everything seems to be completely per-
fected. Maj. A. B. Valentine, the chief
marshal, and his chief of staff, J II Could
ing of Rutland, have performed great labor
and elaborated magnificent programme,
which, from present indications, will be
carried out to the letter and if so, Yer
mont has never seen an exhibition that
equals this.
The editors of the state are here in force,
aud the meeting on Tuesday evening was
largely attended. a fine historical Grafton
was delivered by Hon. E. P. Walton.
