The United States training ship
Hartford, which has been lying at
Five Fathom Hole, opposite Fort Ogle-
thorpe, is now opposite the Bull
street slip. near the Seaboard Termi-
nails. The change in positions was
made early yesterday morning. The
vessel will remain where she now is
until she leaves for Mobile Thursday.
Mass was said aboard the ship yes
terday by Rev. Father Brennan, chap
lain. Immediately afterward the
launch, with Father Brennan aboard,
put off for Savannah in order that the
chaplain might assist in the services
at the Sacred Heart Church.
Shortly after o'clock the order to
weigh anchor was given and the vessel
began moving up the river. She reach
ed her anchorage about 10 o'clock, and
permission was given to the landsmen
and apprentices aboard to leave the
ship The regular 10 o'clock service
aboard the vessel was dispensed with,
owing to the confusion incident upon
the change of anchorage. Arrange
ments had been made for having the
service, in the absence of Father Bren-
nan, conducted by Mr.. Mcneil, superin-
tendent of the Independent Presbyte-
rian Church Sunday school
During the afternoon the vessel had
many visitors. The hours were ex-
tended until 8 o'clock in order to ac-
commodate many who had had no OPP
portunity to visit the vessel while at
anchor below the city. The majority
of visitors were ladies and personal
friends of the officers.
Naval MiIitia's Programme.
b Arrangements have been made for
the Naval Militia to visit the ship.
Commander Colding has decided that
more real benefit can be derived If the
men under his command visit the ship
in details than if the divisions went on
board in a body. He has appointed sew
eral details to visit the ship each day,
and the method of instructions, the
manning of the boats, and other feat
ures will be explained by the officers
of the ship.
In order that the work of instruct
ing the apprentices and landsmen may
not be interfered with, regular hours
during which visitors will be received
aboard ship will be maintained by Com
mander Veeder. These viii be from 2
until 4 O'Clock in the afternoon. The
entire morning is taken up in instruct
ing the men, and none but official Wis
itors will be allowed.
No definite plan of entertainment for
the officers has been arranged by the
officers of the Naval Militia, owing to
the fact that their time is almost en-
tirely taken up by private engage
ments. The privileges of all the clubs
of the. city have been extended them.
Commander Veeder during his visit
to Savannah. is the guest of his broth
er-in-law, MIR. w. W. Mackall. DR.. A.
NJ. ID. Mccormick, the surgeon, Is be-
ing entertained by DR.. J. G. Van Mar
