est Of the event conferred during the early
part of the day, the soldier boys were
aroused by the roll call at 8 o'clock. The
crowd was up with the soldiers, for with
the first break OF dawn the streets began
TO assume lively appearance, and the
roads leading into town commenced to
empty their stream of carriages and
wagons into the camp grounds. Every
private, as well as every public house in
Remington was crowded during the
night, and many slept ON the lawns,
while hundreds were

which afforded little protection from the
chill night air. The first of the special
trains was due before o'clock, but the
wagon roads brought very large acces-

that hour, and when the first train ar
rived the gaily decorated streets were
well filed. The principal interest was

with plumes Of red, white and blue in

approached Bennington the mounted
escort rode ahead Of the carriage in
which sat the governor and General Me-
Cullough with the president. Behind
this carriage, were others In which sat
the members Of the presidents party. II
was the duty of the mounted escort to
keep the road clear and it was not with
out difficulty that they succeeded in
making passage for the presidents
carriage through the,crowds Of vehicles
which filed the country road. All the
way from North Bennington to Benning-
ton the president was greeted with
cheering, to which he responded by TAX
ing of his hat and bowling. The start
from North Bennington was made
shortly after o'clock, but it was slow,
and it was after 8 when the little process

the carriages drew up and the president

OVER A CENTURY OLD.

Mrs. Sarah Heath Was Born in 1888 and

rived at the mature age of 102 years. Her
