the Eastern Side of the Park.
Probably the largest military display
Savannah has ever seen will take place
in the park extension at $3.50 O'Clock this
afternoon.
An order was issued yesterday, an
nouncing that Gen. Lee would review the
Seventh Army Corps In the Forsyth Park
extension at that hour this afternoon in
honor of his excelency the Governor OF
Virginia. The order further directed that
division commanders give the necessary
Instructions for carrying out this pro-
gramme.
The Morning News alluded yesterday to-
a review of the corps during the visit OF
The Virginia party. Gen. Lee resumed
command of the corps on his arrival here,
and one of his first orders was for the
review, an interesting tribute to the dis
tinguished party now here.
The troops of the First Division
in command of Maj. Gen. Keifer
viii come in by way Of Dale
avenue. EstiH avenue and Bull street, and
will occupy the right of the line. The
troops of the Second division in command
of Maj. Gen. Greene will come in by the
Thunderbolt road and will take the left
of the line
The corps will be formed on the west
ern side of the park extension, each regi-
ment presenting a company front, and ex-
tending back toward Whitaker street,
twelve companies deep. The regiments
win be thus arranged from New Houston
street all the way down TO Forsyth park.
The park extension is quite a small tract
for the review of a corps such as this,
and even with the arrangement of the
troops proposed. they will be considerably
crowded. 1t Is believed, however, that in
close order all the troops can be put into
that space
The reviewing stand is In the center of
the Drayton street side OF the park extern
sion. After riding past the corps to the
right of the line which viii be upon New
Houston street, Cen Lee will go to the
reviewing stand He win be followed
closely by Gen. <eifer, who will join him
on the stand. as viii also Gen. Greene
upon the arrival of the head of his divis-
ion.
Gov. Tyler will also appear upon the
stand. The ladies and gentlemen from Vir-
gina will occupy carriages nearby A
sufficient number of guards will be pro-
vided by the provost marshal, and these
with the assistance of the city police will
keep the parade ground clear during the
review.
The corps will, of course, be in very close
formation and it will be practically inn
possible for any maneuvering. The corps
will march, beginning at the right of the
line, past the reviewing stand, and out
into Drayton street. returning to their
camps.
Both divisions have been ordered to be
prepared 20 march promptly at o'clock.
That will be sure to bring them to the
Park extension in time for the formation
by $3.50 O'Clock, at which hour the review
will begin.
The chances are that all Savannah will
turn out to see the corps on review. Where
they are going to get in order to obtain
good sight of the soldiers is a mystery. If
everybody goes early to avoid the rush
there is no doubt that everybody will get
into it.
