ELKS WILL TAKE IN
HUSSARS' BAZAAR.
Military Will be the Attraction To-
morrow Night.


On account of the success scored by
the Georgia Hussars Bazaar during
the first three days which it has been
open to the public. it has been decided
to continue it into next week, and it
is not at all improbable that it will
last fortnight. Preparations have
been made for an attractive program
me next week. and the executive COM
mittee expects to offer enough induce
ments to insure the attendance of a
large crowd on every night until the
close of the bazaar.
The Elks have accepted an invita-
ton to attend in a body next Tuesday
night. The invitation was extended by
Capt w. w. Gordon and was accepted
by the Elks through their EXhalted
Ruler w. J. Watson The lodge will
meet at its rooms at o'clock. and
| headed by a band. will march to the
bazaar. Many of the Hussars are
Iclks, and this frierdHest feelings exist
/ between the troop and the lodge and
their visit Is looked forward to with
pleasure by the members of the club.
Tomorrow night will be known as
Military Night and all commands in
the city are expected to appear in uni
form. Among the companies which
have already signifed their intention of
| coming as a body are the Oglethorpe
Light Infantry, the Irish Jasper Greens,
the Emmett Rifles, the Savannah Cadets
and the German Volunteers. Other
commands are also expected and it is
probable that the fair will wear an I'M
usually military aspect.
The novelty of the bazaar does not
seem to have worn oft, for each night
the same large crowd attends Last
night there were many awards made
at the various booths. Gen. Gordon
was awarded a beautiful rhododendron
by the Flower Committee. Capt. ]. c.
Postell became the fortunate possess
sor of a ladies' scarf; Capt. w. w.
Gordon, Jr., was successful in the
contest for the large charlotte russo
which was awarded by Mrs. STAIRS
committee, and Master w. w. Gordon,
3D., received a silver ladle from the
country store.
The large pot-palm offered by the
Lemonade committee, which has been
very much admired since the opening
of the bazaar. fell to Miss Cora
Thompson, While at the same stand
Mr.. Hammond Eve secured a fine ham
and Mr.. Robbie Scherm became the
lucky possessor of two dozen bottles
of ginger ale. A prize of a handsome
bicycle has been offered by the lem
onade committee, and other prizes
have induced many to patronize this
department of the bazaar.
Mr.. A. L. Starr got a prize of a
walking stick, while Mrs. George
Brown was the fortunate one in the
contest of the silk kimona offered by
Mrs Theus' committee. Mrs ]. c.
Postell was awarded a rainbow scarf
at the booth presided over by Mrs.
Postell and Mrs. Remshart
Davenport Bryan and Mr.. Tom Purse
received pincushion and stein at the
same booth.
The shooting gallery is one of the
most popular parts of the bazaar. The
gallery was crowded last night, and
many good scores were made. The
amusement on the porch drew the large
share of patrons. The crowd was thick
about these booths. Everybody was in
good humor, and seemed to enjoy the
occasion to its utmost.
There were many children at the
bazaar in the afternoon. The commit
tees have decided to open the fair to
the youngsters every afternoon. This
action was influenced by the large
number who attended on the first two
afternoons. Every evening there is a
Little Jack Horner Pie, presided over
by boys and girls in fancy costumes,
and the little folks enjoy the music and
dancing as much as do the old folks.
A neat sum is being realized from
the bazaar 1t is impossible to say just
how much has been made so far, on ac-
count of the many unsettled contests,
but the various booths, twenty in num-
Der, have averaged about $50 each, a
night. There is not yet any appreci-
able decrease in the stock of goods,
since the committees keep their de-
partments well filled.
