Lieut-Gov Barstow, who is also the commits
sioner for this State, have been invited by the
congressional commission to be the guests of
the United States, and these gentlemen will
undoubtedly proceed from Baltimore direct
TO Washington, where they will remain until
Monday, when they will accompany the COM
mission and their party, including the Presi-
dent and cabinet and representatives of the
French government, to Yorktown.
The Vermont troops, as already stated,
comprise the Ransom Guard OF ST. Adams
and the Estey Guard of Brattleboro, each
mastering 81 men. The Brigade band of St.
Adams, 20 members, will accompany the
troops, and the Burleigh Corps of Whitehall
n Y, will be of the party A special train
will bring the delegation from up the State to
Brattleboro tomorrow afternoon about o.
clock, and, the Brattleboro delegation being
here taken on board, will proceed direct to
New London connecting with the steamer
City OF Boston, which will land the party in
New York on Sunday morning. At Jersey
City special train will be in waiting, which,
leaving at $3.50 A. NJ, will take the party TO
Baltimore Sunday afternoon. From Balu-
more the journey to Yorktown will be COM
pleted by the steamer Florida, which will
leave Baltimore at p. NJ. of Sunday, and
making special trip, reach the scene of the
celebration on Monday morning. At York
town entertainment will be provided at the
Hotel Continental, II. @. Glascock of Wash
ington, proprietor. The Connecticut and
Michigan troops will be entertained at the
same establishment. Under the arrangements
as now made the party will leave Yorktown
on Thursday evening, Oct. 20, and by the
same route as going, reach home on the af-
ternoon of Saturday. Many of the Brattle-
boro boys, however, hope that a change may
be made so that they may remain over Fri
day so as to see the great naval review which
takes place on that day. Many of them, also,
are disappointed at the prospect of not re-
turning by way of Washington.
The Estey Guard now expect to give
street parade before leaving tomorrow after
noon. In case they do so the military band
will furnish music. Lieutenant Stevens has
been detailed to act as adjutant of the Yer
mont detachment, Maj, A. d. Tenney of st,
Adams being in command. All officers will
wear Grape on the arm and sword-hilt
SO far as is now known only two citizens
will accompany the troops from Brattleboro.
These are Edwin Putnam and O. l.. Brown.
The fare to Yorktown and return, for the ex-
cursion, is SIG. Food and lodging are extra,
and will probably amount to from SO to $50. 80
