SECOND WEEK OF MAY.
TIE DATE FIXED FOR THE WEEK
OF JUBILEE.

The Committees Appointed and They
Meet To-night-Thursdsy, Nay II. to
Be Tybee DGy-Eeadquarters OBJ
tanned in tho Basement of the De
Soto.
The May celebration will be held, and the
dates fixed for the Publication by the gen.
eral committee last night, are Tuesday
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of the
second week in May, giving four days for
the occasion, where there we're only three
last year.
There was considerable argument over
the time for holding the celebration, some
Of the committee thinking that it should be
during the third week of May in order to
give the merchants time to wind up their
first of the month business. Others thought
that it was essential to look to the con-
venience Of the guests as well as to that
of the merchants, and as the latter part of
May is busy time with the country peo-
pie, many of whom will attend, the above
dates were agreed upon. As a further ed-
vantage it was announced that Mr. johnson
had agreed to have good troupe at the
thester during that entire week.

THURSDAY FOR TYBEE DAY.
Thursday, May IL, will be Tybee day and
tbs city's guests will be entertained with va
| rious smusements at SsVannah's sum-
msr resort.
Opposition to this special feature Of the
| programme was displaced by the desire
on the part OF some to put
it of until the last day of the celebration.
! The objections tO this were that people put
| their shopping OH until ready to depvIt, as
a rule, and this would leave them little time
| as a great majority Of those who attend
would be compelled TO return on Saturday.
The motion to make Friday Tybee day was
| lost, and some one moved to pus 1t on Tues
day, the first day OF the celebration.
IN give the celebration $780, spoke up
| Alderman O'BrieD, 'if you make Thursday
| Tybee day, and il you don't won't give a
| cent"
That, of course, settled the matter and
| Thursday was made Tybee day. The special
| features Of that portion of the programme
will be taken In hand later by the commit
| tee on programme. The finance committee
will go 20 work at once on raising the nece8-
| sary funds, and they request that the
merchants consider that their solicit
tation of contributions is not at
all personal matter. but general one in
which oil are concerned alike and they are
expected to act accordingly. The funds
will have to be raised at once so that the
committee on programme can arrange q
series OF amusements commensurate with
the amount subscribed. The saloon men
are also requested to take notice that there
will be no open house this year to interfere
in any way with their business and they
will be expected to contribute.
HEADQUARTERS OBTAINED.
Arrangements have been made TO secure
the room in the northwest corner OF the
basement Of the De Soto, formerly occupied
by the Savannah Bank and Trust Company,
and Mr. Watson has agreed to furnish it
with necessary furniture. lights and ssrv-
ant to keep tnings In order. Hereafter all
meetings of the association and of the COM
mittees will be held there.
A number Of the committees meet there
tonight TO begin their part OF the work.
The enthusiasm over the celebration has
grown during the last few days until now
everybody is talking about it, and almost
EVERYONE has some suggestion to make con-
corning what should be done to Rd vance the
movement.
A special committee on bicycling will be
appointed TO look after arrangements for
sports in this line, and an afternoon
at the Wheelmen's park will probably
be prominent feature OF the programme
Other matters are being talked of, aud there
seams to be little doubt that Savannah can
arrange a list OF amusements for such an
