One of the Central's new sleepers has
been engaged for the team, so the men
will arrive at camp fresh and in good con-
ditiOn for the shoot. The team will go in
fighting trim with camp suits and hats,
knapsacks, canteens and overcoats They
will be required to carry in their KNAPP
sacks everything that they may require
during their absence AS the state does
not furnish them with rations during
their day in camp, they viii take their
meals at the hotel and save all trouble
with cOmmissary arrangements.
Some of the best shots in Savannah
will go up with the team Lieuts Huger,
Gadsden Cam. Bryan, and Freeman all
have records to sustain and so have Ser
geants Moore, Bacon and Schley and
Privates Thomas, Wilson and Ryals. If
I the team makes as good a record at camp
as it has at practice on oneor two occa-
sions recently it will bring back several
marksmen's buttons and perhaps one or
two sharpshooters' badges.
There are q number of good shots
among the Guards who cannot get off to
go up to camp with the team, but they are
willing to abide by the record Of the men
who go.
