In the afternoon there was a battalion review in Walnut Hill park at which time Col. Burpee and Lt. Col. McMahon. with Mayor G. A. Quigley, reviewed the Home Guard: men and the civilian population had a real opportunity to sce what the Home Guard is and what it is doing. Retaken. war ‘of vesterday devel- oped some very interesting facts. The supposition was that the enemy, comn- sisting of companies from Southing- ton, Bristol and Berlin, numbering four, had captured Hartford and was marching on Bristol via New Britain, while three companies, consisting of Companies H and M. of this city and the Plainville company. in com- mand of Major Merrill of Bristol, were in full retreat. The Black Rock bridge had been blown up and Major Merrill had been given orders to hold off the enemy for two hours during which time the bridge could be re- built. Major Woodruff was in charge of the attacking party and when he arrived in New Britain he found that Major Merrill had his men ‘“en- trenched” in Walnut Hill park and in the “sanguinary fighting” that en- s8ed the attacking force was cut to pieces and driven back, while New Britain was again retaken by the lo- cal forces. Company M of this eity was ordered to hold the comfort house in Walnut Hill park and by a clever show of force cceeded in making the enemy think that there was a greatly superior force there. As a result he threw in his entire force and while the defenders were eithr “killed or captured” they succeeded in halting the advance and deploying the enemy so that they were cventually outflanked. One Company Wiped Out. The rules mimic war New Britain The mimic th which governed ! who were that any man needlessly exposed himself was de- clared killed and referees were de- tailed to each unit. One company commander, in drawing up his men for an. advance, brought them in squad formation across the field. The result was that the supposed machine gunners mowed down the entire com- pany and the umpires ruled that the command was wiped out. Thus this company was taken from the field of action. The umpires were Captains Delamatar and Gadd, Majors Cos- grove and Bronson and Lieutenant Root. | Lt. Col. McMahon had com- plete charge of the evolutions and Col. Burpee, with Capt, F. H. Johns- ton as his aide, was chief of the re- viewing officers The members of the Home Guard rationed themselves and during the noon hour ate in the field at the park.
