Fourth Maine Artillery.


The ladies of the Cathedral parishes,
under the leadership of Mrs. RI. Semmes,
took charge of the Maine artillerymen and
the portion of the Engineer Corps en-
camped on the old Harmon farms, near
the Catholic cemetery. At 10 O'clock
about sixty-five ladies met in the camp
where six large tables had been spread
under the magnificent live oak and mag
nolia trees, and the labors of decorating
these tables was earnestly begun and Wig
orously pushed to completion. Everything
was in picnic style.
The tables were variously decorated. one
being covered with white and yellow
chrysanthemums, another with roses and
camelias, another with yellow, bronze
and white chrysanthemums, and still an
other with tagging caught in festoons
with pine burrs.
The menu consisted of roast turkey
ducks, chickens, ham, potato salad, celery
cranberry sauce and jam, sweet potatoes
oysters. sandwiches in fancy paper, tied
with red, white and blue ribbons; pickles
in variety, cakes, nuts, oranges, apples
and candies, followed by tea and coffee
Cigars were furnished wrapped in red
white and blue paper. Paper sevlettes,
with the national flag and stamped
on them, were also on hand, and eagerly
seized upon to be kept as souvenirs of
the day or sent to Maine as an evidence
of Savannahs hospitality.
Maj Newcome and all of his officers
were most courteous and kind TO the la
dies and the men of the battalion render
ed ready and efficient aid in labor of pre-
pairing for the dinner.
At 1 O'Clock the men were called and
the batteries marched to their respective
FOL hafnra nfo1nplr
ance of the tables evidenced the zeal and
hearty appreciation of the men of Maine.
About o'clock the ladies were invited
to headquarters, in front of which the
four batteries formed three sides of a hol-
low square, in the center of which stood
the major commanding, his staff and Of
ficers, in rear of whom were seated the
ladies. Maj. Newcome addressed his men,
and, turning about, thanked the ladies in
behalf of his men and in the name of the
people of Maine for this unexpected but
remarkable exhibition of Savannah's noble
hospitality, closing by calling for three
cheers for the ladies of Savannah and
three cheers for old Georgia, which were
given with a vim. Mr.. Walter Hartridge in
a few, but we'll selected words, made re-
Spouse for the ladies, and his remarks
pleased the men so much that he was
given three rousing cheers followed by
cheers and a tiger for the state Of Maine.
The ambuances and wagons of the
camp were placed at the disposal of the
ladies', some of whom went to their homes
and some to VISIT other camps, but all i'm
pressed with the kindly courtesy of the
officers. and happy in the knowledge that
their labors had been more than repaid
bv the unusual expression of gratitude
and thanks showered on them by the men
of Maine.

First North CuroIiun.

Probably the greatest display in the Sec
ond Division was made by the ladies who
had charge of the First North Carolina
Regiment. At the other camps the regi-
meuts were divided into companies, each
of which was served in its regular mess
hall With the North Carolinians the ca Sc
was different The tables had been brought
out from the mess halls and arranged on
the parade ground. This brought all the
men together and a fine display of good
things TO eat was afforced right after the
ladies' had completed their final touches on
the tables and before the soldiers were in
yited to help themselves.
The work at the First North Carolina
was under the direction of Mrs. w. c.
Schaelfer. Among others, to assist her she
had Mesdames Pauline Roberts, E. A. M.
Schroeder IL. e. Dreeson, Basler, Berry.
j. Cell, w. Nungazer, W. H. Powell, Chris
Lang, S. Adams, Smalls, Daniels, B. Gals
and Miss Mamie Schwarz.
Each man was served with an abund-
ance. more thanlhe could eat, and a great
deal was left that could not be used at the
time. Some of this was taken away by the
men. and some of it was sent 10 the hospi-
tai, the dainties intended for the sick be-
ing Of sort that viii be greatly appre-
GATED by the sick. The dinner was served
at o'clock, and some time was spent at
the tables. Many expressions of satisfac-
ton were heard, and there could be no
doubt of their sincerity The ladies felt
fully repaid for their efforts by the appre-
ciation shown by the men.

The sixth MISSOURI.

The Sixth Missouri Regiment was ably
provided for, Miss Weaver and the ladies'
under her direction having worked to
great advantage in serving the men. They
gave them their dinner somewhat earlier
than the other regiments in the neighbor-
hood got theirs. The usual run Of turkey.
with cranberry sauce or jelly, ham. chick
ems ducks. cakes, pies, apples, bananas,
oranges. nuts, raisins and other good things
were given the MissOurans. In the division
of the common stock all the regiments were
given some though IL was but a small
share. OF everything there was.
Some of the officers Of the regiment as
was the case with other commands, We're
very active in their assistance. They were
OF great aid to the ladies. The men also APP
preciated the interest shown by their Of
ficers.
Among the ladies who assisted Miss Wea-

second Illinois Men.

The needs OF the men of the Second Hi
nois were looked after by the following
ladies': Mrs. Dusenberry, Miss McEvoy,
Mrs n. J. O'Leary, Mrs S. F. Ledlie Mrs.
Wortsmen, Mrs. Boden, Miss Conway
Miss Judge Mrs Ecksteiu, Mrs. Stern,
Miss Gutman. Mrs Bandy, Mrs. Dugan,
Mrs. Pritchard, Mrs W. O. Ryan, Miss
Black. Miss Desboulllons, Mrs Brown,
Miss O'Brien and Miss Annie Judge.
Great industry was displayed by these Ia
dies, and the members of the regiment viii
long remember their kindness.
Most of the ladies' rode out to the camp
in the army wagons from the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall in this city and other places that had
been agreed upon. This was true of all
the ladies who served the soldiers, and the
trips in the wagons were greatly enjoyed.
The mules acted in a very becoming man
nor, and there were no runaways. Most of
the animals have had the runaway spirit
taken Gus of them by the seven months Of
service they have had since they have been
in the army, and the Old expression of
"the cheek Of the government mule"
doesn't go here any longer Nothing APP
preaching Cheek can be recognized in
the sorry spectacle most of the poor ami
mails present
The Second Illinois received its just pro-
rata in the division of the supplies but
for some reason or other they did not hold
out so well as at the other regiments.
Ii was reported that one of the companies
had not gotten enough and that another
had gone uuprovide1 for. The ladies re-
GREETED this as an oversight in the manage
ment. The other companies Jared eXcep-
tionaily well.

SEVENTH CORPS GALA DAY.
continued from Eighth PAGE.

This complaint, however, came from the
ladies' interested in serving the men. and
mt from the men themselves. In all the
otber camps there was nothing except an
exchange Of congratulations upon the din
rer having been successful, upon every
man having gotten all he could eat. and
nnon the general good nature that pre-
vailed.
The ladies were received with enthusi-
osn in all the camps. The men seemed to
aopreeia,e to the utmost the efforts that
had been made for their entertainment.
They recognized the vastuess of the I'M
dertakug, and they were ready to forgive
anything there might have been in the
vay of an insuficiency of food. But there
was nothing to forgive, except by one
oomnany of the regiment referred TO- and
ali could join in admiration of the ladies',
their kindness, thong htfuiness and hospi-
,alf-y in taking up the work and the indie
fadgable zeal, energy and ability displayed
in its execution.
There was but one regiment that was not
served by the ladies' This was the One
Hundred and Sixty-first Indiana. All the
others Of the corps had ladies in the camps
TO wait on the men at dinner and provide
ihem with what delicacies they had been
able 10 prepare for them. A number of the
ladies' however, We're at the camp of the
Indiana regiment during the evening to
take part in concert and entertainment

Did Not Have Occasion TO Make

there were few Of them who were not at
their posts, Notwithstanding there was
very little to do
For Thanksgiving. the number Of arrests
was remarkably small. The best of order
prevailed throughout the city, there being
few drunken men TO be seen anywhere
Even the provost guard was not kept busy
looking after soldiers, as a glad feeling
seemed to prevail among them. and there
were none who had cups OF sorrow 20
drown.
One Of the coppers, who has seen years
of service, does not recall q time when
there has been a more uneventful day Of
its kind There are probably few of the
boys who didn't get good dinner now
ever" he said. "It's seldom a policeman
don't get his share Of good things, even
though on duty. While he could not enjoy
himself he wanted other 20 do so, and
did not draw the lines on ylolators"

The friendly rife contest between teams

Corps and the local military was shot at
the Avondale rifle range yesterday, and
resulted in victory for the Savannah
team
The contest began at 1890 O'Clock and
ended a $50 O'Clock. A very unsteady and
brisk wind from the northwest the indi-
Gator on the wind dial fluctuatlng from 6
to o'clock, made good scores almost i'm

the scores, the Savannah team won by so
points, IS points at 200 yards and A points
at 500 yards. Taking everything into con-
slderation, the army team made an excel

that the members Of the team were select
at haphazard, and had never shot togethe
as a team, and were therefore lacking In
team organization, which goes very far to-
wards attaining success. 1t must also be
remembered that the army team was
shooting against ten of the crack shots of
Savannah's famous Sea Grit team with
five members added.
Private H. e. Wilson of the Savannah
team made the best score of the day A at
