PROSPECTS, BRIGHT ron TRIP.
Looks as II Cadets VIII Go North
With a Big Company.


The members OF the Savannah Cadets
who are taking the nveiiest interest in the
prospective trip to New York 70 take part
with the thousands Of other troops in well
coming Admiral Dewey back TO America
are becoming more and more sanguine of
success as the days pass and it is seen that
there is a strong desire among the citizens
Of Savannah to have a local command
represent the city in the great parade
The non commissioned officers of the COM
pany will report at the meeting tomorrow
night, and it viii then be ascertaired just
how many of the member viii be able 10
get or for the requisite week or SO for the
trip
Several gentlemen of influence have
taken hold of the matter and intend push
Ing 1t for all they are capable. The OH
GERS OF the conf any feel that they arc on
the nigh road to success and that the Ca
diets will be among the commands in line
The subscription list has not yet been
put IN circulation, but it is expected 1t
viii be very well received when it is start
ed, and that there viii be no great trouble
found in raising the money that viii he
necessary TO defray the expenses of the
trip.
1t is believed there viii be but little
more needed than what the fare to and
from New York will be. The committee
on arrangements viii be expected 10 take
charge of the company on lis arrival and
look after everything necessary in the
way of entertainment. 1t is thought here
that the armories of the national guard
in New York will be put al the disposal
of the visiting troops, and that they will
be quartered in them. Cots viii probably
be furnished, and there Will be no ques-
ton about lodging expenses The same
thing VIII Apply, it is believed, to rations
as it is thought some arrangement will
De made whereby the visiting soldiers viii
be relieved of all expense in the way OF
living. If all this is the intention of the
committee it may readily be seen that
the expense attached to The trip will be
inconsiderable
Five days have been mentioned as the
minimum time that might be necessary
for the trip. 1t is thought many more
members OF the company may be able to
get off from their business if il is decided
10 make the time no greater. A good
number is what is desired, as the mem
bers Of the Cadets and those who sub
scribe to the fund TO take them on are
anxious to have Savannah well represent
ed, and would prefer a company with fun
ranks. Seventy or eighty members would
correspond to Capt. J. T. Vests idea of
the number that should be taken.
No difficulty is anticipated in the matter
of getting enough men TO make the trip if
the money necessary can only be raised.
The members themselves viii be able to
make a LIBERAL contribution toward the
fund, and it is thought enough additional
can be gained on the outside to make the
trip surety. The Cadets have some forty
enlisted men and viii throw open their
ranks to members of other companies Of
the regiment. 1t is anticipated that there
will be a number who viii gladly embrace
the opportunity to make the trip IS econ
omicaly as they subscription will enable
them. The commanding officers of COM
panies from which others may desire to
join with the Cadets wifi be expected 10
give testimonials for Their men, thereby
insuring the Cadets an orderly and well
conducted set for the trip.
An who go will be under the same rules
and discipline as the Cadets becoming
for the time being, members of the com
pany. The discipline of the state service
will be exacted, as the troops viii be out
of Georgia with the consent of the Cover
nor.
