WHOLE REGIMENT COMING.
FORT ETHAN ALLEN WILL BE
CROWDED WITH SOLDIERS.
Twelve Troops, Comprising the Entire
Third Cavalry Due the Middle of This
Week -Ovor 100 Tents on the Way
for Temporary shelter.

The entire Third cavalry regiment will
arrive at Fort Ethan Allen tho middle of
this week. An order containing this in
formation was received by Capt. Hovey,
commandant at Fort Ethan Allen, Sun
day morning and he began Monday
the arrangements for quartering the men.
The order sending all OF the Third to
Fort Ethan Allen is unlocked for among
civilians. While it was known that the
four troops vt the fort before the war
would return, and that perhaps two more
would accompany them, the addition of
six more troops to the number Is quite
unexpected.
Capt, Hovey Is notified of the shipment
of 10 tents from New York to the fort
and he began Monday morning the build
ing OF floors, over which these tents will
he placed upon arrival. There are bar
racks which will accommodate six troops
of the regiment, and the remainder will
be placed in the tents. 1t is planned to
place the tents just west OF the present
troop barracks.
The fact that all of the regiment will
be sent to Vermont does not necessarily
means that they will remain at the Fort
Ethan Allen reservation permanently. In
fact that would be an impossbility for
there are barracks for but six of the
IL troops and at this season of the year
the remainder could not long remain un-
der canvas. 1t ia, therefore, probable that
six of the troops at least are ordered here
only temporarily.
Maj. Jackson, who has been in Vermont
for some time upon n furlough, will take
command of the Third upon its arrival al
the fort. Major Jackson was in command
before the coming of Gen. S. NJ. B. Young

troops south in the spring.

Children and many people of larger

The days festivities opened with a
street parade which started from the
grounds at 10 q. m. This was witnessed
and favorably commented upon by a
large number of people. The horses
seemed well cared for, five bands fur
nishcd plenty OF music and the animals
which were shown gave promise of an
extensive menagerie, premise which was
fulhlled at the circus grounds.
