pearance of Guardsmen an Improve
lnent over Previous Years.
A more convenient and picturesque
spot than that at Lake Morey, Fairlee,
where the encampment was held lat
week, can hardly be found.

menced the routine Of camp life. The

pany L as officer of the day. First

manded all the troops in muster, hav-

5. cavalry. 1t is safe to say that for
planning and for execution, the field
manoeuvres for the day were unex-
celled. Altho' the troops engaged did
not exceed at any time 700 officers and
men, they went through the evolution
that would 60 with an attack where a
division or corps consisting Of in
fantry, cavalry and artillery were en-
gagged

for review. Gov. Woodbury. and staff

who left his right arm at Sheridan's
battle Of Winchester and that grand
old soldier Christian gentleman, Oliver

the left of the lieutenant governor.

tremendous cheering by the thousands
who witnessed the sight. Major Nor
ris and Capt. Tutherly and Licuten-
ant Dickman Of the u. s. cavalry
