ternoon at Vernon, on John Wrights
meadow. The party left Brattleboro at
2:30 on a special train, after marching
through Main street, headed by the First
Regiment band AS soon as the grounds
were reached the field events were called.
There was large number of contestants,
and there we're close finishes in nearly
every contest The prize winners were as
follows:
so yard dash-M. Austin, jr., 1st; f. J.
Stoddard, I'd: A. Schwenk, 3D..

The base ball game was called at the end
of the first half Of the third inning. The
score was to 3 even innings. 1t is ex-
pected that the two teams, married men
and single men, will meet at an early date
in nine inning game to settle the ques-
ton of supremacy.
The bake was in charge of the veteran
Lorenzo Leach, and IL was first class in
every respect. The menu included CLANS,
oysters crabs, chicken, corn, watermelon,
etc.
The boys returned on a special train at
: o'clock and marched 70 the club room,
where social time was enjoyed The
only criticism was that the time for the
outing was too short. 1t is probable that
the next bake will be an all-day affair.

"Wednesday from Moutauk Point. Long
Island. He left his company at Mou,auk
Monday and got AS far as Springfield
Mass, last night. He was met At Spring
field by member of the Soldiers Relief
association, who took him to one OF the
best hotels in the city, and did everything
for his comfort until he left for Brattle-
bOro this morning.
Samson enlisted in the regular army a
little over year ago, Joining Company +
at the barracks in Plattsburg, y. Y. He
remained there until the war broke out,
when his regiment was ordered to Tampa,
Fla. After remaining at Tampa for some
time the regiment was sent to Cuba, tax
ing part in the battle before Santiago, and
several small skirmshes.
The company to which Samson belongs

several wounded. Samson went through
the campaign without an injury, although
he had 1--WE attacks of malarial fever while
on the Island He was also disabled for
some time from poisoning, which he re-
celyed by coming in contact with the poi

he has had and the severe privatons
which he endured, about which he has
very little to say.

RYAN AT GAIT.
One of the largest and most enthu-
siastic meetings ever held in Gait was
that of last night, which was address
ed by Hon. T. D. Ryan, candidate for
Congress; Hon. William Johnston, can
didate for the Assembly in the Twenty
second District, and Hon. John T. Dare
Of San Francisco. The town was ablaze
with fireworks and bonires, and voters
were present from the country for
many miles about. The meeting was
called to order by James Whitaker. and
j. j. Campbell presided.
The people were treated to able ad-
dresses, and the speakers were heartily
applauded. The assurance comes from
Gait that both Mr.. Ryan and Mr.. John
ston will receive not only the full Re-
publican vote Of that place, but very
large percentage of the Democratic
vote.
