Preparations continue to go forward
at the Fair Grounds for the cavalry
encanpnent next week, and the report
was made yesterday to the officers that
everything will be in readiness by the
time the troops begin arriving. The
kitchens, tent floors and stables are
we'll under way and will be completed
by tomorrow. Troop from Chicka-
manga is expected to arrive Sunday
morning and the volunteers Monday.
They will all find that ample provision
has been made for their comfort and
convenience.
There were no especially new devel-
opments in the camp prospects yester-
day, but everything was working
smoothly and satisfactorily. The peo-
pie of Savannah generally, are inter
ested in the encampment, for it will be
different from any held here.Th move
ments of body of cavalry are watch
ed with more than ordinary interest,
and exhibitions of the troop of United
States regulars will be of interest.
A Grand Review.
While every detail of camp life will
be watched with attention by many,
and all of the many incidents and fea-
lures that go to make up the routine
are important, the greatest interest on
the part of the general public will like
ly be centered in the grand review to
be held some time during the week.
This will take place in the Park Elk
tension. and will be an exhibition of
the force of arms as shown in various
branches of the regular and volunteer
service.
Much time is evidently to be spent by
the cavalrYmen at the Avondale range,
for the reQuisition for twelve thousand
cartridges would indicate that practice
work with carbines was intended to be
a feature of the encampment. Some
very spirited and close contests are to

for there are good marksmen in many
of the troops. Avondale range is one
of the best in the country, and the
proximity to the fair grounds is an ad
vantage that troops could not have Sc
cured in many places.
The First Cavalry, and the Troop Q,
Seventh Cavalry U. S. A, will be in
camp by Monday night, comfortable
and safely housed in their canvas viii
lagos, and the regular routine of camp
life will begin in earnest Tuesday
morning.
Inspection of Hussars.
An order has been issued to the
members of the Georgia Hussars, re-
curing their attendance at inspection,
in the armory tonight at $50 o'clock.
The members are required to present
themselves at the armorY and stand
inspection, preparatory to going into
camp. Squad leaders are to notify
the enlisted men that failure to attend,
without giving a satisfactory excuse,
will render the man liable to discharge
from service.
A strong effort is being made on the
part of the officers of this command to
secure for the members permission to
be away from business in order to at
tend the camp. 1t was said yesterday
that a great many of the men were
likely to experience difficulty in get
ting leave of absence for the time that
they should be in camp with their
troop.
