maker, with the little tear in It. looked
round in outline, hard and full OF wind
while the leading boats headsaiIs were
fRttening and wrinkled. Careful watch
ing did not disclose any resulting
gain in the chase. however. In fact,
before 3 O'Clock there were some min
utes when the reverse conditions were
evidently governing and Reliance seem
ed TO be getting q shade the better of
the weather.
The fact is that Reliance maintained
her lead handsomely and finished By

The Official time atsthe finish was as

ARE GOING TO CAMP
IN JUNE AS USUAL.
Four Regiments of Infantry
Will Camp.
LIGHT INFANTRY THUS FAVORED
Americus Company Will Go With
Fourth Regiment to Griffin, Unless
Some Other Point Nearer is Selected
State Shoot in Savannah.

1t seems definitely settled that at
least four of the infantry regiments
will go into encampment at Griffin IN
June, and the Americas Light Infan
try, with the Fourth, will be among the
companies attending. The subject is
b 9ing discussed here with interest.
The Americas soldier boys have
been there upon previous occasions,
and are anxious to go again.
The advisory board recommended
that the military ercampment of the
troops begin either June 18th, or goth.
Not more than two regiments will be
in camp at the time because the state
has not sufficient camp equipment for
more than this number.
The company here may also send a
team to the state rifle contest, as was
done last summer.
The state military board has submit
ted it's report to Coy. Terrell, and in
this it recommends that the annual
rifle contest be held this year on the
range at Savannah,
Both Savannah and Macon were ap-
plicants for the contest, but the Sa-
vAnnah range has the advantage over
that of Macon, particularly as relates
to practice with the Krag-J orgensen
rife. with which the troops will be
armed at that time.
The board recommends that this
shoot be held in August, which will be
after the military enoampment has
been concluded.

Americus was visited by cloud
burst, seemingly, yesterday afternoon.
For an hour the rain fell in binding
sheets, and great pamage and loss of
property has resulted to the city in
the undermining of bridges and flood
of the water works plant.
If the bridges are carried away the
loss will be considerable.
The city owns several bridges span
ming Town Creek and Muckalee, and
two or three of these were IN danger
of collapse though all were standing at
8 O'Clock last night.
The Lee street bridge was submerg-
ed, sea of water stretching out on
either side. This bridge will proba-
bly, be lost. The Jackson street bridge
was In place last night, though the dirt
approaches were washed away. The
new McGarrah street bridge was con
sidered safe,
Muckalee bridge was inspected last
night by City Engineer Murray, Supt.
Mayo and Chief Feagin and will prob.
ably stand the freshet.
Magnolia Dell was sea of water
last night, Muckalee creek spreading
out nearly to the railroad tracks. In
the dell the water stood from two tC
three feet in depth.

Der yards. The outside fences were
carried away last night and quantity

deep in water. 1t was still pouring
rain at late hour, and the ruiz

the situation is viewed this morning
The loss sustained by the railroads
