There will be "a meeting Of the general
committee in charge Of the arrangements
for the visiting Chicago excursionists one
night the latter part Of this week, for the
purpose OF receiving the report Of the
finance committee and making definite
arrangements with regard to the entire
programme to be carried out that day.
Col William Garrard is in receipt OF
letter from Col. Henry L. Turner Of the
Chicago regiment containing a copy of
the order with regard TO the trip which
Col. Turner has issued to his troops Col.
Turner states in his letter that he regrets
very much that the stay Of the party in
Savannah was cut down to one instead
of two days. The programme, as mapped

he states, is entirely suppositious, and will
be altered according to circumstances.
we wish to conform our movements"
Col. Turner says. TO your desires, and in
any respect where you wish to change the
programme we shall be glad to make the
change. 1 speak now purely of the milf
tary programme" Col. Turner also
asked Col Garrard for roster Of the
military officers in Savannah, as it is
his his desire to make the officers of his
reslment thoroughly acquainted wlth
them during their brief stay. He then
continues, We are looking forward with
great anticipations to meeting with you
and feel confident that the pleasure real
led VIII fully equal our ansfcpations.'
The military programme for Savannah,
as outlined in the circular issued by Col.
Turner TO the members of his regiment,
consists Of a street parade in connection
with the local military at 3 o'clock, ath-
leucs az l O'Clock p. m, sham battle eX-
erclse at Z.io O'Clock y. m regimental
parade, Maj. Edgar 3. Tolman command
ing, at 4:3O p. m, and a concert by the
musical organizations at 1880 p. n. The
committee does not think It will be pos
sible to crowd all these events into one
day, and several changes will be made in
accordance with the circumstances. One
or two OF the features viii have to be
omitted, while others will probably be put
at different hours. This as Col
Turner states is left entirely in the
hands OF the local committee. OF course,
IN arranging this programme the trip
down the river al 10 o'clock in the morn
ing on the steamship Nacoochee must
be taken into consideration, as well as
the reception which is to be given the
chicago citizens at the De soto that
night.
The soldiers of the First regiment will
leave Chicago without any citizens clothes.
Inc regulations and discipline TO which
the troops must conform on the trip are
necessarily strict, though they will in no
wise interfere with the pleasure of the
