Several of the owners of wharf proper
~ along the southern bank of the savan-
nah river have already begun to extend
their wharves 20 the harbor line indicated
by Capt. o. NJ. Carriers survey. The
owners are glad enough to take advantage
of the privilege, as the extension of their

troops under arms at Darien.
Col. LaWton thinks 1t probable that there
will be a guard of fifteen men required.
Five men on post at a time, he says, will
be all needed. The proximity Of the camp
to the jail will enable five sentinels to
serve as a guard for both. That will
mean the thirty odd men will each see

Col Lawton was well pleased with the
conduct of the troops at Darien. He
found a source OF especial pride in the
number of men present for duty last Sat
urday week when the strength of the
regiment was so well represented in the
response the men made to the call to
arms.

and yet the team is many points behind
that from the District of Columbia. It
will be a sore trial to the Savannah team
and ats many friends in Savannah if il
should fail to make 1t all up on the Skin
mlsh runs and win out in the contest
Capt. W. W. Williamson said yesterday
he could not understand how the scores
could have fallen off 50. During the prac-
tice the men were making an average of
forty-five and forty-six right along while
he was at Sea Grit, but the score at POO
yards yesterday in the regimental contest
showed that forty was the average for
the six men. Capt. Williamson had hopes
that the lead the District team had Sc
cured at the 200-yard range might be made
up a the 500yard stage. 1t was not. how
ever, and il is doubtful if the Savan-
nahians can recover their lost ground on
the skirmish, The lead is most too great
Interest in the contests is keen. Con-
slant inquiries for news from the team are
heard, and the reports that come from the
New.Jersey range are eagerly read The
faith Of Savannahians is placed in their
team, and their trust is in the muscles

Capt Williamson was asked yesterday to
announce the teams fer the Hilton trophy,
and the Interstate matches as they had
been arranged before his departure. He
declined to give them, believing the an
nOunccment should be made from the 9th
er end. Some idea of what the team will
be, however, may be judged from the fol-
