The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1897-07-11

The festivities of the past week in this
part of the country have centered at Mel
drim, where for six days all society seems
to have adjourned. The weather has been
delightful, and numbers of Savannahians
have been present in the afternoons for
the parades and the fitting. There could
be no pretter picture than the encamp-
ment makes. with it's white tents dotted
about under the cool, shady pines; the
bright uniforms of the riders glittering in
the sunlight, and the fresh, dainty or
candies of the girls-who now, as in the
olden days, love the brass buttons and
the silver stripes-giving dashes of color.
Enthusiastic witnesses say that when the
Hussars charge gaily down Ogeechee av-
enue even the dust is transformed, clouds
of smoke seeming to envelop the warriors,
and a fiery glow being added to the scene
by the rays of the setting sun. In the
evenings various entertainments have
been given at the Lyceum, dancing usu-
ally ending the days festivities. A few
of the lady visitors during the week have
been: Mrs. w. W. Gordon, Mrs. P w.
