1t Opens Auspiciously and With Big
Promises.
The second week Of the regimental fair
opened up last night. There were more
people present than there have been any
night since the fair was inaugurated, and
the receipts were correspondingly large.
| The civilians were out in large numbers
and from the way they spent their money
| it looked as IL they were trying to make up
| for their lack Of interest last week IL was
half an hour after midnight before the
| crowd dispersed.
Companies A and B Of the Savannah Vol
unteer Guards attended and took a cham
payne supper. Company A had out forty
Two men, under command OF Capt.
| Williamson, and Company B forty men,
under command Of Capt. Tom Screven.
The boys had jolly time during supper,
and lively time after ward In getting rid
OF their money. The young ladies
of the regiment met the soldiers
as they came from the supper room,
and made a demand upon them for their
coin without much ceremony. The Guards
offered but feeble show Of resistance to
the fair" opposing army, and surrendered
their change without much ado, after they
were parolied as prisoners Of the regiment
The German Volunteers did the bulk of
the business. Their table held crowds
around it during the evening,
and big treasury was the
result. A smoking set was awarded to n.

50 cents is offered, and large number of
people are hoping to get it.
