Allen


Co. D will leave for the annual muster
of the 1st Regiment at Fort Ethan Allen,
by early train over the St. J. and L. c.
railroad at Z o'clock Saturday morning.
The indications now are that Capt. Ellis
will have full company of so officers
and men. There was an extra drill
Monday evening and tonight will be the
final drill before going. Although there
are many new men this year, owing to
the increased size of the company and
the expiration of many enlistments, still
the company is in frst-class form and it
is certain to maintain high place in the
regiment as it has in the past. The
roster of the company is as follows:
captain, Henry W. Ellis.
'1st Lieutenant, Charles A. Celley.
'2nd Lieutenant, John A. Gum.

Muster is not what it was in the old
days when the impression prevailed that
it was nothing but a sort of lark;
when the boys had beds, and wore dress
coats, helmets, white gloves and collars
on guard and at dress parade and sat
around table in tent for mess. Our
little unpleasantness with Spain changed
all this and now when the Vermont reg
iment go into camp it is equipped for the
field, and the encampment is conducted,
as nearly as possible, along the lines laid
down for the regular army when in the
field. Following is the daily routine
Reveille, 6 a. M. mess call, $50; fatigue
call, 7; first sergeant's call, u.s. guard
mount, 8; morning drill, 9; recall,
11.30; mess call, ~ M; first sergant's
call, l. 80 p. m; afternoon drill, q; recall
A 30; evening parade, $50; mess call,
$50; tattoo, 10; taps, 1870.
Guard duty this year will be under the
supervision of Lieut.-Col. Bonett, and
the Importance of the guard will be
emphasized. No civilians will be allowed
to remain in camp over night without
permission from the commanding officer.
At tattoo all unauthorized persons must
leave camp. Enlisted men will remain
in their company streets. At taps all
lights in company streets will be extin-
guished, and men will at once retire.
No visiting at other quarters or loud
talking will be allowed.
A detail consisting OF Q. NJ. Sergeant
Jameson, Privates Meehan, Berry, Har-
low and Parks leave tomorrow to pre-
pare camp. James H. Riley of Hanover
will accompany the boys as cook.
