Co. “G,” jumped, hopped and skipped thirty-three feet and four inches, and was declared the winner of the first prize of five dollars. The second best, a prize of two dollars and a half, was given to a private of Co. “I.”

These exercises closed the pleasures of the forenoon. In the afternoon a running match was first in order, distance 150 yards; first prize, of five dollars, awarded to corporal Botts, of Co. “D;” second prize, two dollars and a half, awarded to private Banty, Co. “D.” The next on the programme was a target placed in the ground to be bored with an auger at twenty paces, blindfolded. The prize of five dollars was awarded to Orrin Lathrop, of Co. “F,” he being the only competitor who touched the target at all. Next came the wheelbarrow races, distance 100 yards; first prize, five dollars, awarded to private Duprey, of Co. “A.” Nearly all the competitors went about a

hundred yards from the point in opposite directions. The sack races were the most laughable of all, as each contestant was completely enveloped in a sack, which made their progress over the ground very ludicrous to behold. Catching the greased pig and climbing the greased pole were other games resorted to and had many contestants. The day closed with another burlesque dress parade and a short review, which was a decided improvement on our last one, and caused much pleasure to the spectators, among whom were Gen. Brannan and staff and a large number of ladies.
