Although the company started
toward camp a little behind schedule,
the special train arrived on time
Thursday night and the company
formed and marched Immediately
toward camp. There was no delay III
pitching camp, as the detail assigned
to the task of getting the supplies
and equipment to the camp grounds
were very mach on the job At
0 clock the tents were nearly all
pitched and the cooks were hurr ying
the preparations for supper.
At Bellows Falls the Grand Army
veterans were out to see the Company
h boys off. The citizens were verv
courteous to the men of Compan- 1,
and many of the men walked past the
ears which the company occupied.
sha king hands with the men and wish
ing them luck.
The demonstration at Charlestown,
where the COMPANY from Springfield
eltrained, was equally as emphatic as
that al the Falls, and the whistles were
blowing and the people cheering as the
train approached the station. The
Springfield company was the biggest
of the three companies, numbering
ia men, many of them recruits of the
previous day. 1t is also the largest
company of the regiment. One former
BrattlebOro boy IS enrolled with

As the companies marched into
camp they were greeted with cheers

| Companies L, K, and l being the last
of the regiment to arrive.
| The only thing which might have
added to the occasion was the band.
The band, however, is represented by
six of the veterans of former years
and two recruits, and already applica-
tion has been made by others desirous
/ of Joining the organization.
/ The regiment improved every min
ute yesterday. BY general orders the
regiment was routed out by reveille at
$50. Immediately after mess the
company was given a stead drill un-
til noon, and after dinner the regiment
! assembled and underwent review be-
fore the governor and his staff.
Several Bratt-eboro boys have been
discovered IN other companies of the
regiment. The [. Y. II. company,
Company c, has enrolled on its roster
Ralph Tha-er and Ray and Verne Ad-
