kL(CHIlUN III It'll AkIlUklLO,
The Chicago military and civilians have
seen Savannah and gone. and the regrets
are no doubt equal on the part of wish
tors and the visited that the stay could
not be longer.
savannahians were glad to see them
here, and they showed it; the Chicagoans
were glad Savannah was on the map and
on their route and they did not hesitate
to express a most favorable opinion of
their treatment, nor were they backward
about making comparisons. The visit was
a pleasant one from every standpoint for
those who took part whether they were
strangers or home-folks, and after so
cordial a welcome and pleasant days en-
tertainment it was with regrets that
goodbye was said at midnight
The arrangements, as made, could not
have been more perfectly carried out
Both of the railroads brought the people
here on time. and the other arrangements
We're accordingly carried out without de-
lay.
The three trains via the Central rail
road left Atlanta in good season and
reached Savannah even ahead Of the time
calculated on. The first train left at 7:45
p. m, the second at sos and the third at
SIS. twenty minutes apart, by Central
standard, and the first arrived in savan-
nah ahead of the regular train at $40
o'clock a. m. The other trains came in
at and G:2O o'clock
Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois and Mr.. w. II.
Harper director of the excursion, compl-
mented the Central on the movement of
the trains, and the latter said he would
take official cognizance of it in his re-
port.
The two military trains left Atlanta at
$40 and o'clock p. m. standard time via
the Southern Railway, and arrived via the
Plant system at $50 and CLIO o'clock a.
m. These trains were moved with equal
dispatch, and no better service from the
roads could have been asked for

o'clock, after the Chicagoans had a view
of the Ocean steamship wharves and the
