Fifty-seven Savannah rihemen left
last night for Macon, where they will
take part in the state shoot begin
ming to-day. The shoot will last
through Saturday, and the Savannah
fans are not expected home before
next Sunday morning
The trip was by the Central Railway.
Shortly after o'clock some of the
memb of the teams began arriving
at the station. In many cases they
were accompanied by friends, who
wanted to see them off, and groups
stood about on the platforms until the
fnal bell of warning was sounded, and
the marksmen hurried aboard the
train.
The Central made every provision
for the comfort of the men. A seat
for each man was allowed, an ar
rangement that would enable the
young soldiers to make themselves
comfortable for the night. They will
be in good shape when they reach the
camp this morning.
Every command in the city, except
the Chatham Artillery and the naval
militia, sent teams. The Republican
Blues sent but two men, which was
due 10 three of those who had been
expected to go finding at the last mo-
ment that they could not get away.

Work on the range that the Macon
troops, literally aided by the mer-
chants and the municipality, have es-
tabished will be commenced to-day.
Col. George T. Cam of Savannah, in
spector general of rifle practice, will
be in command of the camp, and it
will be under his supervision and di-
rection that all of the practice will be
held. He left for Macon Saturday
night, and by to-day all of his plans
for the conduct of the encampment
will have been decided upon. He ex-
pected to confer yesterday with Off
GERS in Macon relative to the hours to
be observed and just what work is to
be required of the troops.
During the first five days of the week
there win be only the steady rifle prac-
tice, combined with camp duties, guard
duty, extended order drills and other
details of such life, but during the
last days there will be matches in
which the teams that choose may par
ticipate. 1t is to these matches that
the Savannahians are looking forward
with great interest, and it is believed
that they will make an excellent show

TO win honors for their commands.

will represent the Savannah commands

who in the past have won fame for
Savannah by their craftsmanship. The
men are all new, being talent that has
been developed since the big shoots
at Sea Girt. There are, nevertheless,
some excellent shots among them
some who would probably get places
on a Sea Girt team if one were now
to be chosen.
