at Same Time as the First.
Col. G. A. Gordon received a letter
from Gov. Terrell yesterday, advising
him that the encampment of the First
and Third Regiments of Infantry at
Augusta would be held, beginning
Tuesday, July Z. This date, it was ex-
planned, had been selected so that the
men might not have to travel on Sum
day.
1t is still possible that the encamp-
ment will begin Monday, July 6, II il
develops that all of the companies can
arrive in Augusta early Monday morn
ing without travelling on Sunday
The Governor, in his letter, also ex-
pressed wish to have a conference
with Col. Thomasson and Col. Gordon,
commander of the Fourth and Third
Regiments, respectively, relative to the
encampment. This will probably take
place III the near future.
Several officers of the First Regiment
will meet Col. Thomasson in Augusta
next Sunday for the purpose of con-
ferring with the citizens of Augusta
who have the encampment in charge,
and inspect the sites offered for the
camp and complete all arrangements.
The officers who will go to Augusta
for this PURPOSE are Col. C. A. Gordon,
Lieut.. Col. Grayson, Maj. J. G. Jar
rell, surgeon of the regiment, and
Capt. F. w. Garden, Commissary of the
Regiment.
Since the announcement that the
encampment would be held at Augusta
great deal of interest has been mani
tested, and officers and men are pre-
pairing for the trip with enthusiasm.
On Monday night the battalions of the
regiment will have battalion drill in the
Park Extension. The members of the
field and staff meet on Monday, June
Is, and the school for officers and non
commissioned officers will be held on
the Thursday following.

was the delightful spread that had

decorated and the Sons of Veterans
thoroughly enjoyed the good things
provided. A number of irnprornp tu

MANY LITTLE BOATS
WERE ON THE RIVER,

Yesterday being a holiday
many owners of the yachts and
launches took occasion to go
out, and Wilmington river, near
the Yacht Club and Casino. presented
an interesting picture all of the after
noon. Some of the sailors were out for
try with the wings, getting in trim
for the coming regatta, and others
made cruises up or down the stream
There were fishing parties by the dozen
and while the catch may not have been
equal to some of the reports made, the
day was very satisfactory.
The yachts that are expected to he
in the regatta next Tuesday are taken
out quite often and the shippers are
learning all the vagaries of the cur
rents, tides and turns. The arrange
ments for this event have certainly
added interest to boating, and probably
not in some years has there been evil
denced such general attention as is NOW
being given to the sport.
The entries are coming in slowly
but there will be a goodly number on
the list when the entries are closed
Monday next, at noon. The prize list
is attractive and the contests will no
doubt be close.
