Augusta is bottom side up with excite
ment over the New Years foot ball game

elevens, to be played here next Monday.
The Chronicle in announcing the arrange

est in the sport, judging from the crowds
and excitement a game arouses, and it is
no longer question of doubt whether
foot ball will receive cordial support from
the local public. Everybody, from the
youngest to the Oldest inha bitant, who is
fond of any outdoor sport, takes a great
deal of interest and pride in the Augusta
team, and are always anxious to see them
victorious.
The boys have accepted the terms made
them by the Savannah team, and the New
Years game is sure go. Manager
Jameson has seen the Central railroad
authorities and they have agreed to run a
special train from Augusta to Millen,
which will connect with the morning
train on the main line, going to Savannah.
He has also secured a 4-cent-a-mile rate
for the round trip, and it is so ar
ranged that the entire party can arrive
III Augusta bright and early Tuesday
morning. This will give them plenty of
time to see something of Savannah, as
well as giving them ample time to witness
the great game.
Already quite number have expressed
great desire to visit Savannah with the
boys, and when the party is made up
there will be at least 300 of the admirers
of the orange and blue along. Those who
care to 90 down with the football party,
and take advantage of the low rates,
should hand in their names TO the man
ager of the Augusta team as soon as pos
sible, in order that there may be no hitch
in the days programme.
'It is learned from good authority that
it is more than likely that Augusta will
storm Savannah New Years day, headed
by the Boys band of the Young Men S
Christian Association, the best juvenile
band in the whole country.
