The tilt will begin at IL o'clock, and
the course will be Immediately in front
of the grandstand. 1t will last until
late in the afternoon, as there are so
many teams. There will be an inter
mission for lunch. The five team and
the five individual prizes aggregate ST.
005.
The teams will assemble and be FORM
ed at $3.50 o'clock in front of the Hus-
sars' Armory, whence. under command
of Capt. A. Gordon Cassels, they will
march to the Fair grounds, via Bull
street and Estill avenue. Upon ar
irving at the grounds, the command
will enter through the extreme eastern
gate and, proceeding to the track, will
march past the grandstand to point
designated by red flag near the west
ern curve of the track. The command
will then be dismissed and the teams
turned over to their respective cap
tains, who will Immediately retire them
from the track.
AS soon as the teams have marched
off. the captains will report at once on
the track with a detail of five men
from their respective troops, to aid the
committee in lining the objects and to
act as assistants at the heads and
rings.
Team captains will note the order in
which their teams run and be prepared
to report promptly on the track at the
sounding of the assembly. No less
than two men shall be stationed at
each object, one of whom shall be a
representative of the running team.
At the conclusion of the tilt, the teams
will be formed upon the track, where
they were first dismissed, and, under
the command of Capt. Cassels will be
marched and formed in line in front of
the grandstand, from which place the
result of the contest will be announced
by the chairman of the board of
judges.
All the teams are already in the city,
save that of the Wayne Light Troop
from Jesup, which is expected to ar
rive this morning over the Plant Sys-
tenn. Besides the five contestants. it
is expected that there will be some
twenty-five members of the troops to
cheer their their team on to victory or
the nearest possible place to that
greatly desired honor.
