No. HYDE PARK, Vt, June 30, 1891.
Mr.. EDIToR:-
As many of the members of Camp No. 81,
S. of ". could not attend the State Encamp-
ment held last week at st. Johnsbury and
thinking that they would like to hear
something from the Encampment, l offer
them a few remarks through your paper.
Tuesday, June %, at II o'clock NJ, six of us
took the train at Hyde Park coming from the
west We found on board a goodly number
of delegates and brothers from other camps,
which we we're glad to meet, and in a short
time were on the road bound for the State En-
campment. All along the line, delegates took
the train and at every station we met friends
which seemed to wish they were going with
u.s. On our arrival at st. Johnsbury We were
met by Camp No. Is of that place, which es-
corted US to large and commodious quarters
at the opera house which had been secured
for the occasion. Here we met other brothers,
one of which, after we had taken a rest,
kindly offered to show us about the Fair
banks grounds and works. This offer was
accepted. as some had never had the privi-
lege of visiting their works. We took a stroll
through the works, visiting fish ponds, the
deer park and many other places of interest,
and thence to the scale works, which was
very interesting in all its departments. From
there we returned to opera house, when the
captain of Camp No. 1S took us to the q. A.
r. rooms in the Grand Army block, where the
G. A. R., S. of ", W. r. C. and Ladies Aid
Society each hold their regular meetings.
This hall is nicely finished and the walls
were covered with pictures of noted Generals,
scenes of battle fields, &c. After supper
team was procured by camp NO. 10 ana our
baggage carried and we escorted to camping
grounds, where we found tents pitched and
everything in readiness for a nights repose
Camp No. IS of st. Johnsbury are worthy
of much praise for the time and money ex-
pended for providing for the comfort OF
brothers from other camps, and to make
success of the Encampment. Wednesday
morning the work of the Encampment COM
menced The business meetings were well
attended There are so camps in the State,
all of which, with the exception of three or
four, were represented. Every brother pres
emit was ready, and business was dis
posed of rapidly. In the afternoon we had n
street parade in which 400 brothers in uni
form and equipped with colors spread to the
breeze took part, with the State division
officers mounted and at the head they made
a grand procession. In the evening there
was a reception given at Opera Hail. in which
the Ladies' Aid Society responded to the
number of from 10 to 100 with ice-cream and
cake sufficient for the whole party. After
very pleasant evening the party dispersed for
the night. Thursday morning work com
menced again. The different camps reported
for the year past, which report showed the
work in this State to be in a thriving condi-
ton and unfinished business was speedily
disposed Of The business of the Encamp-
ment was brought to a close at the evening
session with the installation of officers. Tins
Encampment is given in to be the largest and
most complete of any ever held in this State
by this order A CHATTER MEMBER.
