Vile game by the score of to 3,
and the Lyndonville game to 3, but
when opposed to the negroes the
tables were turned. Without excit-

Co. D, LIST Inf, V. N. G., return
ed Monday from the big war game
which was in progress in Connecticut
all last week. The Vermont troops
were in the blue army which defend
ed New York City against the invad-
ing red forces and were in two en-
gagements. In the first the issue was
decided against them as they failed
to reach a bridge in time to hold 1t
against the Maine troops. In the final
movement in which all the troops
were engaged three regiments in
which the LIST Vermont was included
held off five red regiments and Co.
d alone held a strategetic point
against an entire regiment until the
end Of hostilities. In the popular
opinion the Red army was accorded
the victory in the big game. Only
three of Co. D we're sent home be-
cause of physical disability which is
considered remarkable considering
tn enumber of heat prostrations re-
corded during the manoeuvers.
