MUSTER NOTES.
The sanitary condition Of the camp
was most excellent. There was very
little sickness and the inspection re-
ports were the best ever had. Many

mark of 100 for mess, street and
quarters, in fact, several did during
the week.
The most soldierly men present at
guard mount were selected as order
lies at the governors headquarters, as
follows: Private Isham Of co. B, St.
Adams, and Hassam Of Co. A, Rut-
land, on Angus; 18th; Private Teach
out Of Co. M, Burlington, on August
l4th; Private Curtin OF Co. l, Brat
tleboro, on The 18th, and Private Squire
Of Co. X, Bennington, on the 10th.
The presence CT the United States
troops added much to the muster and
their exhibition drills were closely
witnessed by all present. The guards
men were much aided by their pres
ence and followed their examples in
soldierly bearing and appearance.
The result Of the inspection and the
announcement of the company in the
first regiment winning the new and
beautiful regulation United States
flag, presented by the State and to be
held by the company winning same
until it should be taken from them in
some future competition, was made,
Co. Il, Capt. Bisbee of Barre, being
the fortunate winner. The two COM
panies ranking next were Co. !, Capt.
Estey Of Brattleboro, and 20. +, Capt.
Howe of Mortified. The marking Of
the companies was on six points--tech-
nical knowledge, uniforms and APP
pearance, guard duty, rifle practice,
attendance and sanitary inspection
and the results of these three compa-

one-ffth OF one per cent apart.
