Norwich caoets Here.

Norwich Cadets Here.
The Norwich cadets marched into town
about half past one Tuesday afternoon.
having covered the seven miles from
Bethel IN pouring rain and deep mud.
and went into camp on Mccall park.
They were weary, hungry and footsore
and perfectly willing to stop. The corps,
numbering $50 men, had 25 cavalry
horses, hut the mounted cadets were even
wetter and muddier, il possible, than the
foot soldiers.
They had been one of the attractions at
the state fair in White River Junction
and their drills, exercises and riding were
viewed there with interest by applauding
crowds. The % miles from the Junction
to South Royalton were made Saturday
and, after spending Sunday in camp, the
boys hiked it to Bethel Monday and to
this place Tuesday. Tents were soon
pitched on Mccall park, where dress pa
rade was held at O'Clock in spite OF
fatigue and rain.
Lieutenant Chapman, commandaut of
the university, was with the CORPS, and
President c. H. Spooner came from
Northfield Tuesday to satisfy himself as
to the health and general good condition
Of the young soldiers.
The 20 freshmen, new to the hardships
Of military life, found the march from
the Junction to Northfield rather SIREN
uous experience but set out cheerfulIy
yesterday morning at o'clock to make
the last Is miles to the barracks. No
ambulance was needed for the transporta-
tion Of cripples, and rheumatism had ap-
parently concluded to hold its twinges in
abeyance for more advanced age.
The rain " hfla osrcafIx- v,aaaa.1 g. -

was decidedly a nuisance in some respects
and spoiled the social enjoyment Of bav-
ing for one day $50 "young' men in this
town-a town most OF whose taxable polls
are either gray or bald. Muslin dresses
and kid slippers had to give way to
mackintoshes and gsloshes, and the
affect was, to state it mildly, provoking.
Thrilling but Safe.
"Thrills and How to Enjoy Them
would be an excellent title for Lyman II.
Howe's new program, said the dramatic
critic Of the Philadelphia Evening Bulle-
tin. There are at least a dozen real
thrills-all different in kind-and they
leave one with the most delicious sensa-
tion imaginable. And the best part of il
all is that there is not the least risk to
"nerves."
First OF all comes the thrill OF looking
down from a fighting topmast on q bat
tleship with all the Zig guns roaring,
volumes Of smoke curling in great
wresths and every body on the alert as in
real battle It's just about as exciting as
the real thing and hundred times more
safe.
Then there are other thriIls-thrills of
admiration at majestic grandeur of the
Rockies in mid-winter; the frozen splen-
dors OF the Ice Palace and winter carnival
at Montreal; the exhilarating skating
races, tobogganning, etc. the thrills OF
regret at seeing the giants OF the forest
laid ow by the woodmanis axe; the thrill
OF gazing over the limitless desert. OF the
beauty Of its palm-fringed oases, OF the
wild life of Moor and Arab.
Again the barbaric, yet romantic, beau
ty Of the Gorge Du Var, France, will in
spire thrill OF ecstacy at natures handi-
work, and the peaceful charm Of sunset
and moonlight on land and sea produces
thrill OF exaltation of spirit These and
many other thrills Of pleasure and Of ad-
miration await every spectator in the
Chandler Music hall on Saturday even
ing, Oct. 2.
