vide accommodations for the pine tree state
soldiers at the Cutler House.
AdJutant General w. H. Gilmore of the
state of Vermont is in the city, and has
called upon Chairman Weller in regard to
securing quarters in case it is decided to
send military representation from the
green mountain state. He said-that a
meeting of the school of officers would be

by the guardsmen OF Maine will spur on
their brothers in the neighboring New
England states. with the result of bringing
out larger contingent from that section
than has ever before been known. There
is considerable rivalry between the guard
organizations of New England. and Cen
eral Gilmore declares it to be almost GER
tain that all the other states will try to
outdo old Maine.
