Veteran Member F. d. Bloodworth, chair
man of the general committee in charge
Of the arrangements. The opening will
take place at $50 o'clock, with the troop,
active. pay, veteran. honorary and coun-
try members, in uniform, in front of the
club rooms. The chairman of the COM
mittee win stand on the steps and an
nounce the bazaar formally opened.
BY the time the first visitors arrive ev-
erything will ne in readiness. Much re-
mains to be done, the decorations of near
ly all the booths tables and stands hav-
ing been left for this morning, when the
donations that have been made will be
sent to the Hussars armory. Many ladies'
and gentlemen will be at the rooms all
day putting the last touches on the booths
Capt Beirne Gordon received letter
yesterday from President H. NJ. Conner OF
the Central Railroad, enclosing a hand
some contribution to the bazaar fund. Capt.
Gordon had written the president asking
for dona ton. The Central has proven its
friendship for the militia of Savannah or
many former occasions, and no fears were
entertained that it would not respond to
the request made by the captain of the
troop. The matter was brought before the
board of directors of the Central at their
meeting last Friday, when the president
was authorized to make a handsome con-
tribution. The other railroads entering
the city have also been written by Capt.
Gordon, and it is expected that answers
will be received from them to-day.
A feature of the bazaar that will doubt
less attract great attention will be the
baby show to be given Thursday after
noon at 4:30 o'clock, under the manage
ment of Mrs. John Heard Hunter and Mrs.
George A.. Whitehead. Only babies under
three years of age will be admitted in the
contest which will be decided by votes,
each vote costing five cents. A charge of
Is cents will be made for each baby enter
ing the contest. Admission to the show
will be five cents, though mothers and
nurses will be allowed to view their own
and other peoples darings for nothing.
The little pink and white specimens of in
fantile humanity will doubtless be regarded
as very cute and cunning, and lavish at
tention will be devoted to many a small
toilet. A large attendance of ladies' is ex-
pected, and many gentlemen, also, will
doubtless find view of the show interest
ing.
The programme of entertainments offer
ed by the Hussars embraces vaudeville
performance on the roof garden every
evening, beginning al 8 o'clock. Dancing
will be from 10 to II every night, and IA
well lighted rifle range will be open for
contests among visitors during the after
Moons and evenings. From 4:30 until 7
o'clock light refreshments will be served
and supper will be served from $50 to IL
o'clock.
The Hussars invite the public to attend,
and request that their military friends ap-
pear in uniform. Speaking of the bazaar,
Capt Gordon said 1t is the wish of the
! troop to have their friends visit the bazaar
feeling that they will not have to spend
their money every night. They desire wish
tors to feel they are welcome at any time,
and that an Objectionable feature of fairs
and bazars, the indiscriminate and annoy
ing canvassing for votes, will be practically
eliminated.
