Real CAMP FACILITIES ge From e Star's Staff Correspondent. SAVANNAH, Ga., May 13, 1896, With open hand and open heart Savan- nah has extended a cordial welcome to her tors. For ral months she has been making preparations for their coming, pro- viding an entertainment which the city hopes will at once show its ‘friendship for the scns and daughters of sister cities and Mlustrate the military spirit of her own children, Savannah is row at her best, and with the glowing dress of early spring greets the visitors of M week in the wost becoming sown. The glorious o!d-! hioned ho: tality of the south is being tested at {ts real worth and the week is unquestion- ably one of red letter days. Most of the buildings are gaily decorated with bunting and everywhere things present a gala ap- bearance. As a military city, Savannah is not ob- scure, and her soldiers of today are worthy Successors to those she sent to the wars. They are now soldiers of peace, and their duty this week is to engage in mimic war for the amusement and instruction of their friends and visitors and dispense the hos- Pitalities of hosts. The Mili y Seene. The vicinity of Thomas Park presents a decidedly military appearance. Camp Gor- don, named in honor of Cul. W. W.

In this section are the mess room and kitchen and also com- modious bath rooms. Some idea of the tent of the camp may be garth from the number of tents—10 for headquarte 26 for the Morton Cadets, 26 for the At usta troops, 26 for the zouaves, 1 for thi Indienapolis artillery, 26 for the Mount Pleasant Field Band, 10 for officers, 54) for the Barnesville Cadets, 5 for the Charles- ton Cadets and 6 for the cadets’ headquar- ters. Camp Gordon was formally inaygurated afternoon. At the south end of treet the engineers are encamped, No. 2 Morton Cadets, who have christened “Easy street,” a big sign bearing th scription standing out in bold relle the boys succeed in capturing the prize, as every one feels certain they will do, the name will be pertinent in its appll- cation.

A full } of calls are sounded throughout the 2 The Washingtonians are more than pleased with the situation, as may he gleaned from the following statement to me by Capt. Shilling: “This morning at 10:30 officers’ call was sounded by the buglers of the Mt. Pleasant Band, and the commissioned officers in camp promptly reported to the command- ant, Major Hdwarl Karow. The meeting | was addressed by the major, who stated briefly that it was the desire of the authori- ties in charge to conduct the encampment on as strictly a military hasis as was con- sistent with the festive character of the occasion. “He read a routine of bugle calls and camp duties, and commented upon them, explaining that while there would be no strict rules laid down as in a camp of in- struction, It was expected that every com- | mand would observe the duties outlined. All the officers present agreed to do so, promising their hearty co-operation. “The officers Ia command are considered very efficient, and the encampment prom- recent years. It is the verdict of the Wash- ington boys, officers and men, that the Georgia militia is equal in efficiency to the best in the country, and the whole week promises to be characterized by the spirit of militarism that pervades the yannah troops. Many Conveniences. “The camp 4s laid out on strictly military lines and is guarded all the time by city Folléemen. A shed has been erected, con- taining twelve shower baths, which are Lberally patronized by the members of the various commands. The meals are all that could be lesired and are an agrecable sur- prise to those accustomed to the fare usually furnished at interstate drills.

The Avondale range, where the rifle con- tests ere being held, is just two miles east of the city—a pleasant ride by electric car. Although not yet completely sodded, the range is quite up to if not above the stand- ard, being certainly first-class in the mat- ter of equipment. The beckground of green is considered perfect.
