THE REUNION.
For once, at least, in long line of
reunions, the Lamoille Valley Veter-
ans, have had two days visiting
with each other, on the Fair Grounds |
here with out the falling of d drop
of rain, although up to Monday |
morning any one will testify there
was quite a sufficiency of humidity |
Camp Harrison" with VIM. G. Nc |
Clintock in command, was organized |
on Monday. The forenoon was spent |
in getting into shape, the visiting
and Misunderstanding among old COM
rades and drilling participated in by
the Sons of Veterans and others. In
the afternoon the troops, mounted /
and otherwise, went to the village
and paraded the streets, wherein was
noticed many handsome decorations
for the occasion. In the evening was
held the customary campfire, this
year under the direction of A. A.
Niles. A large number of people
were present and the enjoyable pro-
gram was made up with music by
the band and drum corps and songs
by the male glee club, frequent dis
charge of fireworks, and remarks
appropriate to the occasion by Com
rades Doty, Gates and Niles of Nor
risville and Gilmore of Hyde Park.
Wallace Parker of Cambridge, Col. |
Sawyer of Hyde Park and p K |
Gleed of Morrisville, were expected to |
participate but were not present. |
The evening and night in camp were
spent very enioyably, being free from
disorderly conduct. Tuesday was
a beautiful day and was filled with
interest to all old veterans and sons
in attendance. In the forenoon was
held the annual meeting of the asso-
citation, with election of officers as
follows: Commander, d. j. Holmes,
of Johnson; Adjutant, H. A. Jack
son, WatervilIe; Quartermaster, p.
S. Scribner, WoIcott; Executive |
Committee, 0. M. George, Eden; E.
S. Simonds, Craftshury; A, G. Ray |
mond, Stowe. One Vice-President |
from each post in the association |
was elected. The afternoon found a |
large number of people on the |
grounds. During the time from elev-
en- to one O'Clock a large number
were attracted by the ball game be-
tween the Johnson and Morrisville |
teams, which resulted in a victory for |
the Morrisville team by score of |
10 to 6. At 2 O'Clock Hon. Henry
Ballard, of Burlington, the speaker
of the occasion, was escorted to the |
grounds by a cavalry company. The
new grand stand and the space in |
front was soon taken possession of
by the crowd, Mr. Ballard speaking
from the grand stand, and was dis
tinctly heard by all. His address
was filled with much that could but |
stir the patriotism of his hearers, |
and was most interesting and elo-
quent speech of an informal practi- |
cal nature, which took well with his
large audience and we'll held their |
closest attention throughout. Fol |
lowing the address came the compe- |
tition drill by the Sons of Veterans,
which attracted considerable atten-
ton, the boys presenting a very
creditable appearance.
NOTES.
In every respect the reunion was
the cleanest and most enjoyable one
ever held here.
Tents for the use of the veterans
were here from the State Arsenal at
Montpelier, in charge of Mr.. Ed.
Wright.
Music, as furnished by the Hyde
Park Band and North Hyde Park
Drnm Corps, was an inspiring
feature of the encampment.
The number of tents pitched ex-
ceeded by considerable those of any
previous reunion, and everything
was up in very neat, trim shape.
This, the seventh annual reunion
of the LamOille Valley Veterans as
ISOLATION, has been without doubt
the most successful and enjoyable
yet held.
The management did themselves
proud in the line of maintaining per-
feet order and bringing to a close q
reunion free from the intoxication
