THE HUssARs' ESCORT.
1t was ex pected and greatly desired
that there should be military display, bat
the committee having the matter in charge
has left that feature out. 1t was an important
matter with the committee. however, when
II was making up the programme and ar
ranging for the entertainment, and good
deal OF consideration was given il. The
chairman Of the committee believed that
there should be a parade, and so did soms
of the other members, but after a canvass
1t was decided that owing to ths
very busy season, with both tbs
railroads and the business men
the requisite number Of men could not bt
secured to make the parade creditable, anc
1t was deemed best to have no parade. i
Is likely, however, that the governor ant
the members of the general assembly will
be escorted from the depot TO the Pulaski
house by the Georgia Hussars, this being
the only cavalry company here. Lieut.
Pritchard said yesterday that he coutem
plates offering the services of the Hussar
