CAVALRY TEAM WILL
CONTEST IN SHOOT.

Gen. COrbin Will Probably Order n
Team from Seventh Cavalry to
Participate.
1t is probable that team from the
Seventh Cavalry will be present at
the interstate shoot in Savannah next
week. With the team from Fort Nc
Pherson and the attendance of a gov
eminent officer on the match, it be-
gins to look as if Uncle Sam were in
earnest about taking a hand in the
game.
Post Adjutant Walter e. Coney re-
ceiVed a communication from Col.
Parker, acting assistant adjutant
general, in which he says that he will
try to get Gen. Corbin to authorize
Gen. Chaffee to order a team from the
cavalry camp of the Seventh Cavalry
at Chickamauga Park to compete in
the interstate shoot.
A communication from the Dothan
Guards intimates that the Alabamaians
are practicing with a will for the con-
tests. The guards expect 500 Krag.
Jorgensen cartridges to arrive IN
few days, and with these they will put
on the finishing touches of the prac-
tice. The Guards brought a crack
team to the interstate shoot last year.
and it is probable that another good
one will attend. One team is sure to
attend from Dothan, and maybe two.

The money was lost by Henry Will

went on an excursion last week to
Beaufort. Williamson was flushed and
mashed his roll in great style. He
claims that he was going to see an
old sweetheart and asked Hodgeson to
Keep his money for him. When he
returned from his visit Hodgeson de-
nled all knowledge of the Whereabouts
of the money.
The accused claims that the sAo

had told him he would be able to get

gave those who had faced the elements
every care and attention.
At the Casino the crowd was much
larger than had been expected. In the
evening several hundred heard the or
chestra concert and saw the moving
pictures. 1t did not rain as hard at
Thunderbolt as it did at the other re-
sorts, but there was quite rainfall for
awhile. Late in the afternoon the sun
made it's appearance and the First Reg
iment Band was able to conclude its
concert from the band stand. A large
number remained at the Casino restau-
rant for supper.
The crowds at the resorts would have
been much smaller but for the presence
OF large number of excursionists.
Charleston alone contributed 400 to Sa-
vannah's floating population and the
strangers were in evidence on every
side.

Many Inquiries Being Received from
Those Who Expect To Go.

Many inquiries are being received
daily by the passenger department Of
the Seaboard Air Line at Savannah
from those who are interested in the
great excursion that is to be given to
Old Point Comfort, Virginia Beach and
Ocean View by the Seaboard on Aug
10. 1t is very evident that a great

nah to Portsmouth Norfolk, and do ev-
erything possible for the comfort of
the excurSionists.

IN TORRENTS
AT THE RESORTS.
Isle of Hope and Tybee Flooded,
but Not Much Rain In City.

Heavy black clouds, vivid lightning
flashes, thunder and finally a fall of
rain that was a deluge at Tybee and
the Isle of Hope yesterday prevented
what would probably have been a rec
ord-breaker at the resorts.
1t rained much harder at Tybee,
Isle of Hope and Thunderbolt than 1t
did in the city, where the rainfall was
light. The ominous clouds that gath
cred between and o'clock kept
those who had not gone to Tybee in
doors until 8 O'Clock, when the sun
again came out Many who had plan
ned to go to the Casino and the Isle
of Hope remained at home, and at
both places there were small CROWDS.
Tybee Jared differently, and the
trains that left the city before the
clouds gathered were crowded. One
train alone, leaving the island, carried
1,225 persons. This was composed prin-
cipally of excursionists who had spent
the day and were obliged to return
on the early train in order to make
necessary connection with their return
trains.
1t was estimated that there were
about 1000 people op the beach just
prior to the heavy rain which visited
the island shortly after o'clock. A
special entertainment on Bohan's pa
vilion and the regular concert at Hotel
Tybee served to attract and entertain
the crowds. The last train from the
island brought back eight well filled
coaches.
At Isle of Hope the rainfall was un-
usually heavy and quite number were
caught going out on the cars. Boards
had to be stretched from the station
walk to Barbee's entrance so that those
who wanted to go on the pavilion could
do so without getting wet. Mr.. Barbee

Much Interest in Cornerstone Lny-
ing Tomorrow Afternoon.
Much interest is being manifested by
church workers of all denominations
in the laying of the cornerstone of the
home for the children of working
women which is being erected by Ju-
LA Mcleod Chapter of The Kings
Daughters. Representing, as it does,
the untiring efforts of hundreds of no
BILE women, it is an institution Of
which they are justly proud.
The laying of the cornerstone will
take place tomorrow afternoon at 6
o'clock at Montgomery and Thirty
first streets. The fundation is not
yet completed, but a large force of
men will be at work to-day and to-
morrow and will have the first floor
joists in place and a temporary floor
constructed ready for the public exer-
eises An elaborate programme has
been prepared, as already published in
the Morning News. AS all denomina-
tions have been represented in the
work of securing the money needed
for the purchase Of the site and the
building of the home, SO they are all
represented on the programme, this
giving 1t more general interest than
it would otherwise have. The ladies
announce that Confederate Veterans
are especially invited.
A feature of the new building will
be the memorials in it. Each of the
rooms will be fitted up as memorials
by different philanthropic people and
institutions. One lady has already
agreed to furnish the parlor attractive
ly and on an elaborate scale as a me-
mortal to a deceased relative. Other
memorials of this character are being
solicited by the ladies who have the
matter in charge and they are meet
ing with more than ordinary success.
The good work that has been done by
the home in the past and the wide
field to be developed by them in the
future has gained the support of many
charitable persons and it's future sue
cess is assured.
