Colors Presented.
Governor and Mrs. Smith give the First
Regiment Handsome Flag.

The Montpelier Daily Journal has this
to say about an interesting event at the
Capitol grounds on Wednesday after
noon last:
About five O'Clock the regiment, headed
by the mounted field officers and the
Montpelier Military band, arrived on
the lower plaza in front of the Capitol
building amid the admiring cheers of the
assembled throng. A few moments
later Governor Smith, accompanied by
General Peck, General Gilmore and Col
J. G. Brown, members of his staff, ar
rived in landau and took his stand on
the central walk facing the the troops
which had drawn up across the front.
Grouped about the Governor were also
Gen. ]. J. Estey, General Butterfeld,
Lieut.. Theodore Dewey, U. S. N, and
Coils. Walter Brown and G. T. Chaffee of
the Governors staff. The two latter
held the colors.
The line officers advanced headed by
Col. J. Gray Estey and formed in line in
front OF the Governor. Just behind
these stood the regimental color SER
geants E. T. Nelson OF Company A and
E. H. Wilcox of Company D. Company
K, the senior company, was detailed to
escort the colors to Company c, the
regimental color bearer.
In presenting the colors, Governor
Smith said in substance, Colonel Estey,
it affords me great pleasure to present
these colors. through you, to the First
Vermont regiment in behalf of Mrs
Smith and myself and feel certain they
will be cherished and guarded by the
regiment with which desire to be con
sidered as upon the plane of fellowship
and comradeship"
He then handed the colors to Colone
Estey who turned and delivered them tc
the color sergeants after which the
colonel addressed the Governor and it
behalf of the regiment expressed hi'
heartfelt thanks tor the beautiful gift
and declared that the colors would b'
considered a trust and cherished anC
guarded with all the patriotism Of Yer
monters.
The officers then resumed their com
mands and the flying colors were escorted
by Company K, down the line to Com
pany c, each company saluting them al
they passed.
The regiment was then marched il
review before the Governor returning tt
its camp on the arsenal grounds.

The Window in the Tent.

II never pull down the window at the
top to let in little fresh air when | go
to bed" said the old soldier, without
thinking of how we used to open the
window in the tents in wartimes. An A
tent, seven feet square at the base and
running up, wedge shaged, to ridge
pole seven feet above the ground, made
comfortable quarters to hold four men If
YOU could leave the tent open, which was
equivalent to leaving off the front OF the
house, but if it were cold or rainy and
the wind blew on the front of the tent
so that you had to close it, why then you
wanted ventilation somewhere, and you
got it by making an opening in the back
of the tent.
"There was a seam, overlapped, rum
down the middle of the back OF the tent,
from the ridgepole to the ground, and we
used to cut the stitches along that seam,
up near the top of the tent, and spread
the sides apart by putting in stick six
or eight inches long across the middle,
making there diamond shaped opening
about a foot long, which served the pur-
pose admirably.
"The mems guns stood in that end Of
the tent, their butts resting on piece OF
cracker box, the barrels held in some
sort of holder secured to the tent pole.
If the wind change on some rainy night,
and came around to blow against the
back of the tent, the rain would come in
on the guns and on us, and then some
body would get up and shut the window
that is, take the stick out and let the
canvas come together again there and
then open the tent little at the other
end, at the front. -
"This all used to seem kind Of strange,
then, somehow, though practically 1t
was lust what would have done in the
old house at home, and just what Id do
here now."- Chicago Inter Ocean.

Record of the Clubs

The Senators furnished q great surprise
to their friends at National Park yesterday
afternoon when they easily defeated the
champion Boston team by the score of Is
to .. After their disastrous trip which has
just closed with one victory out of thirteen
games played. the local followers of the
game did not anticipate such an ending.
especially against the Beaneaters, but the
Senators had their batting eyes with them,
and drove the ball to all parts of the lot
with enjoyable frequency. Against this
great batting streak the Bostons were I'M
usually weak with the willow, and as a re-
suit the club looked more like q tail-ender
than one of the leaders in the pennant race
Catcher Kfttridge made his debut on the
local grounds, and his work was of such
high order that Manager Irwin can be con-
graduated upon securing such a good
player a running mate for the veteran
MCGUIRE. kits first appearance was a
success in every way. handling MERGERS de-
livery with accuracy and dispatch, while at
the bat he secured two nice singles. Another
pleasing exhibition was the work of Left
Fielder O'Brien. This young man has been
a great disappoin tment to the local enthu-
siasts on account of an Injured knee, but he
has at last rounded into his true FORM and
his fielding and batting yesterday were of
the gilt-edge order.
Mercer and Killen were the twirlers at
the start-off of the game, but the latter
was driven from the rubber in the third in
ming by the terrific hitting of the Senators,
and Hickman relieved him. The fatter's
work was also poor, the heavy batting con-
tinuing until the end. Against these two
twirierS Mercer's work was of the very
best, and his effective twirling made a

Mercer is still ''top-liner'' in the twirling
class.

when he went to the bat the first time.
The general impression yesterday was
that SIagle is Frisbee's superior in every
department of the game.
