THE GOVERNOR WILL COME.
Distinguished Guests Who VIII At
tend the Coming HibernIan Dinner.

The Hibernian Society is making elab-
crate arrangements for its annual dinner
and celebration on st. Patricks day
Among the prominent guests who nave
already accepted invitations to attend the
dinner and who will also be among the
speakers are Gov. w. Y. Atkinson, Prof
H. c. White of Athens, Hon. w. C. Glenn
of Atlanta, DR.. Landrum of Atlanta and
Hon. Robert L. Berner of Forsyth.
The dinner will be held this year in the
large dining room of the De Soto, the ban
quet hall being too small to accommo-
date the $50 members and guests, who at
tend each year. The stewards have the
matter well in hand now and viii meet
in day or two to make final Grange
ments with regard to the toast list. Hon
Bourke Cochran of New York promised
President p. W. Meldrim last summer
that he would attend this year, but he
has just written him, saying he would
be unable to come, as he has had to go
TO Europe again on account of his health
To the list above given, however, may be
added the well-known local stars and the
outlook is the Hibernians will have one
of the most enjoyable dinners from every
standpoint they have ever given. The
stewards who have the matter in charge
are Messrs. M. A. O'Byrne John w

The winners of the Carbine and
Pistol Contests.

The Georgia Hussars took thirty-five
men to Avondale yesterday Ior pistol ana
carbine contests.
The troop, under command of Capt.
Beirne Gordon, left the armory at $50
O'Clock. An early start was made on ac-
count of the great amount of
work that was known to be
awaiting the troop at the range. There
were more ranges to shoot than usual,
and besides the carbine, there were the
pistol contests. The skirmish contest
was a feature that was left out of the
programme of the other commands, and
this required a good deal of time.
The Hussars shot at the 200, 300 500 and
6O0-yard ranges At these known dis
lance targets some very good scores were
made. Five shots were allowed each man
at each range. with the exception of the
800 yard-range, where ten shots were al
lowed
