RUSH OF THE CROOKS.
The city Filled with All sorts and
Degrees of Them.

"Hark bark the dogs do bark, the
beggars are coming to town,
Some in rags and some in tags and some
in velvet gowns"
Change the word beggars to crooks in
the above verse and a literal truth will
be expressed as to a certain class of Wis
itors to Savannahs May week festivi-
ties. Crooks of all classes, degrees and
conditions have been pouring into the city
for the last three days, from the gentle
manly sport, who furnishes his vls-a-vis
with a queen full while he holds four
kings, to the humble thimble-rigger and
the ordinary pickpocket They are all
here, shell game men, big nit" throwers,
f1imhammers and other crooks of every
degree of crookedness.
In fact, judging by the way in which
the sports" have fiocked to Savannah
from all sections Of the country, things
must be dull in their line generally. New
ertheless, they seem to be flush. They
stop at the best hotels, eat al the best
restaurant and spend money freely in the
saloons and elsewhere. Just now they
are diverting themselves with the local
gambling rooms, but they viii begin to
hestir themselves to-day and earn" a
few dollars to pay the expenses of their
trip here.
fifteen of these gentry from New York
Saturday, and since then their mum bers
have been added to by every train from
the north. They are easily identified by
one familiar in the ways of the world
and We're to be seen last night standing
in knots of half a dozen or more in the
neighborhood of Bun and Congress
streets. This is the neighborhood favored
by the swells among the fakirs. The
humber members of the profession, whose
creed it is to live without work, sought
more congenial surroundings in other
quarters of the city.
This information may be of value to
visitors who come to town with little
money and the intention of having a
good time. Take this advice: Don't con-
fide in strangers who become familiar on
short acquaintance and are prompt to
set up the drinks. Don't accept the offer
of anybody to show you the town whom
you don't know, or who hasn't been in
trOduced to you by trustworthy ac-
quaintance. When you get fun
90 TO your hotel or boarding
house and go to bed, and thus
avoid wandering into the clutches of the
harpies. who Will pluck you of your last
cent. When in doubt apply to a police
man. They are not as bad as they look,
than into the hands of the sharks. This
advice may save you the necessity of
borrowing money to get home on"
The police are keeping a careful super
vision Of the crooked gentry. The detect
ives know most of them, and are keep
ing a close watch on them. The moment
one of them turns a trick" he is likely
to find himself in the hands of an off,
Ger. The week will hardly pass without
several of them being invited to partake
of the courtesies of Chief McDermott.

Replying 20 your inquiry as 70 the
real intention Of said donors OF cham

70 promise my reply 70 your inquiry by
stating that said cup was offered hy the
Galveston Exhibition Association at my
personal instance and solicitation and Col
NJ r Mott and myself were requested

to be held.
Rule designates the namely which
the cup hall be known and provides thar
Its possession shall be cOntended for BY
any WhlLt volunteer military organiZa-
ton OF the United States, at any regu-
lar interstate drill and encampment in anv
slate OF the union. In using the term

standing of said term was that ii en-
Draced military organizations as We're SO
recognized by the military authorities OF
the several states and excluded all 9TH
ers Had we used the term
National Guard instead of white volun-
teer companies organizations belongings
20 such states as used the term National
guards TO designate volunteer companies
might nave protested against cOmpeti-
Hon Ior the cup by troops using other
distinctive designations. For instance
some thirty-three states onlv use
the designation National Guard Two
states alabama and Florida) designate
tner volunteers as state troops Two
states Georgia and Virginia. as svolun-
teers.' one Undiana) as legion Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island and New Mexico
as militia, and one state CTexas) as
Volunteer Guard Therefore, in view of
the different designations of the different
states OF their organized military forces
presumed that the term white volun-
teer companies would embrace the above
and exclude all others. Again in most
OF the states, as in Texas, there is a
special statute which specifically prohibits
the parading of any organization with
arms. other than those recognized by the
authorities, excepting by special license
OF the governor.
The promise considered, ] unhesitating-
~ declare my understanding of rule l.
heretofore, cited TO be that military COM
panies not recognized as such by the
authorities of the state in which they
are located should not be permitted to
compete for possession of the cup under
discussion"

statement that From the above, ii would
appear that the trustees had properly
