BRADFORD, Aug ~
Eleven years have wrought notable
changes in the National Guard If Vermont,
aud to one who has noted these changes
since the cncampment here ON these very
grounds in 1879, the comparison then aud
now is not at all unfuvurublc to the present
standing aud efficiency of the regiment.
Indeed, the advancement has been 50
marked as to elicit commentator from
the highest recognized military authority
1t is certainly very Pleasant thing to say
Of the military, and all the more so because
Of the truth Of the saying; and 10 no one Of
the many excellent officers Of the regi
ment is more credit due than to Col. j. J.
Estey, whose high idea Of soldier ha.
ever been shown through personal rxem
plihcatiou. So much eau be said to Yer
mont's citizen suldiery Of t. day. aud may
the proud aim Of its popular commander,
he fully achieved in the near future.
Soon after II o'clock ON Tuesday the
Estey Guard, together with the compauie.
from Rutland, Bennington aud Brandon,
followed by Fuller Battery marched int
camp for their animal five days muster
The camp is pleasantly located on grounds
known as "Ladls HILL about one mile
from the railroad station, aud overlooking
the rugged hills Of New Hampshire includ
ing part Of the White mountain range
Everything had been put in order for the
coming Of the troops 10y the details Of the
several companies aud good dinner wa.

For the first time the regiment is OH.
cered 10y three majors on account Of the
addition Of the two separate companies
thus increasing the number to twelve in
lieu OF ten companies as heretofore The
first afternoon was a rainy one, consequent
ly there was very little practical work
done, though the dress parade was had a.
usual. The routine Of duty in camp varie.
