GOODBYE TO GUARD
And DETAIL DUTY.
Today Camp Satterlee Will Be-
come a Pleasant
Memory
TROOPS WILL MOVE HOMEWARD
Sunday Was Great Day-Incidsnts in the
Oamp-Parade in the
City.

The last days of Camp Satterlee have
been very pleasant ones, if the state
ments ofthe participants are to be ac-
cepted as truth.
Sunday was day Of particular en-
joyment, the slight shower in the af-
ternoon causing no drawback of con-
sequence. The large crowds from the
city, added to those who came on the
cheap.rate excursions from the inte-
rior, made the scene around the camp
brilliant and gay one. The crowds
we're not as large as on the preceding
Sunday, when the gunboat Whining
ton was an attraction. There was,
however, no spare room in the pavil-
ion when the time came for the special
concert by the First Battalion band.
The concert proved one of the best
yet heard on the island. The selec-
tions were all new and all we'll rem
dered, and were all literally ap-
plauded.
The largest number Of troops yet
seen in camp turned out for the Sun
dow aFtarnoo0 draa. noroda Tba D,
flemen, ,:the men in camp supplemented
by those who came over from the city
to spend Sunday, had the largest num-
ber of men in line. The Albany
Guards, Captain Wooten, we're the
special color guard, and went through
the pretty ceremony of presenting the
colors to the regiment faultlessly. The
Guards wore white-duck trousers and
made very handsome appearance, as
did also the other companies who took
part in the impressive parade.
Captain Clark, of the Dawson
Guards, was officer of the day yester-
day. 1t was tie last full day in camp,
and the men were allowed little more
liberty than usual and took advantage
of it by longer stays in the surf and
more extended conversations with the
pretty girls, who have formed such an
indispensable attraction to the SOL
dleTs.
Camp will break ct noon today. A
special boat will bring the regiment
to the city, reaching here about 2
O'Clock. The soldiers will have din
ner and supper here, and will turn out
at p. m. for dress parade on the green
south of the Oglethorpe hotel. The
citizens are urged to come out and at
tend the parade.
The Plant System will carry the reg
iment home in extra cars attached to
the regular train, which leaves Bruns-
wick at 6 :45 p. m. There will be five
extra passenger coaches and three
extra baggage cars on this train.
AMONG THE TENTS.
Quartermaster-G General Kenan Wis
tied the camp yesterday.
The Albany Guards are rated as the
handsomest company in camp.
Captain Clark, of the Dawson
Guards, arrived Sunday to spend the
remainder of the time in camp with
his company.
The Valdosta Videttes haye a most
excellent commissary department, as
a member of THE TIMES staff who ex-
perienced their hospitality Sunday is
well fitted to testify.
Orderly Sergeant Middleton, of the
Valdosta Videttes. is one of the most
accommodating and at the same time
most efficient of the non-commissioned
officers in camp.
Corporal Goodwin, of the Videttes,
has very poor opinion now of that
type of ridicule known in latter-day
slang as the "horse laugh" Goodwin
on Friday mistook Capt. Ernest Dart,
