meant to breed discord. n pir.\ATIOX EXCITE.D BY ATTACKS l pox GEORGIA RIFLE TEAM. favonnabinna Relieve Capt. Hope nd Governor** Horae Guard ot HCRpoßfibUlty for Statcmenta In .%tlnnta Newspaper* Georgia Team’s Action Compared With That of Lord Dunraven-Col. Mel drim'a Statement Distorted—Friend of the Teum Gives Its Side of the Controversy. The seeming efforts of one of the At ,3n:a newspapers to bring about discord in the Georgia State Troop*, by state ments as to the refusal of the members of last year's Georgia Ram, to compete 6 ea;n a: Sea Girt, are excitins general indignation here. That these articles are inspired tv any representative members of the Governor’s Horse Guard, is evidenced by fl telegram received from the troop’s com manding officer, Capt. Hope, in which he ? tate? that his command is a sympathy* with the movement to have a (.tate shoot at Savannah next Septem ber. which contest is controlled by the men mho have been attacked. Capt. Hope, the Savannah men feel, may differ with them upon a question of propriety, but is incapable of resorting to the tactics that have characterized the articles in the Atlanta paper. or . , who. though not a member of the Georgia team, is in touch with the feel ire that prevails among its members, #,?-■) among the members of military’ com minds generally in this city’, gave voice yesterday to the indignation that the unwarranted attacks that have proceeded from Atlanta have provoked. He said: The Atlanta paper that has been pub lishing wilfully garbled and incorrect ac counts of the pending controversy’ between the mem be rs cf last years Georgia team at Sea Girt and the Atlanta fathers of the enterprise to send a team to the New jersey Range this year, continues its ef forts to mislead the public and distort the truth. The other day’ there was an in terview' in the Morning News with Col. I\ W. Meldrim. The interview was brought about by the publication of a screed in Atlanta, in which it was stated that the commanding officer of the First Regiment of Cavalry had already made up his mind as to the merits of the case and had announced that he would disap prove any request made by the Governor’s Horse Guard to send a teem to Sea Girt. The article contained other statements, for which unnamed members of the Gov ernor's Horse Guard were given as author ity, which severely criticised Col. Mel dim. Since Col. Meldrim’s denial of the statements imputed to him, the Atlanta newspaper has not found it possible to pro duce its authority for anything it has paid and is placed in the position of wil fully slandering an officer in the state service. In a more recent article it en deavors to make it appear that Col. Mel— drim favors the plan of the Horse Guard to send a team to Sea Girt. This is pal pably an unfair construction of what Col. Meldrim said. Indeed, it is an impossible construction. All he did say wos to deny that he had ever announced an intention to disapprove an application from the troop, to which he added that it was his rule not to withhold his approval of any recommendation made by troop and squad ron commanders, unless it were impera tively demanded by the good of the ser vice While Col. Meldrim did say that a strong case would have to be made out before he would disapprove the applica tion. he yet said positively that no one was authorized to speak for him in this matter and he did not know’ what action he would eventually take. His whole In terview was in the mature of a protest against the untrue and unauthorized state ment made in the Atlanta paper. "It has been the policy of the Atlanta paper to found its articles upon a series of abusive statements, as to the course and the conduct of the members of the Georgia team. Never an argument, based upon the* facts of the qase, has appeared in its columns. The facts speak for them selves and uphold the position of the Georgia team upon every contention its members have made. "The latest thing it has committed." continued the gentleman, *’is to compare the protest filed by the team from this state, and its subsequent refusal, when justice was denied it, to enter future matches at Sea Girt, to the protest and the action of Lord Dun raven, in the mat ter of the Valkyrie and the Defender. In this connection It publishes a statement irom Mr. C. Oliver Iselin. the owner of the Defender, in which he says: ‘Lord Dunraven is no sportsman and should not he permitted to try his luck against gen tleman. Only one can be first in races: 1 |r * others, if they be gentlemen, do not whine over their defeat and make false ‘ lsations.’ It would be a matter of some lo al interest if the individual who drew the parallel between the action of Lord Dunraven and the action of the members the Georgia team could be identified ar *d himself compared, in standing, repu i-ation, sportsmanship, honor, or any oth ‘rof the attributes that make up the gen denian, with those whom he has under to vilify and abuse. The outcome w o ii,| i, e ,j e i'i a i n and th e trial speak for itself. the Georgia team, to those who know the men who compose it, does not !lPpf l to have its sportsmanship defended. ,r has shown its ability to accept defeat wi*h grace often enough to put it beyond W’iesfion. What it cannot bring itself to ! to return to Sea Girt, after being or *• treated with flagrant, wanton and ! Gpahle injustice, and accept a second sla * in the face with the meek humility tl.Tt seems to be of the essence of sports manship in Atlanta, according to its ac credited or discredited, newspaper repre sentative. The members of the team are sports- Trr " >n the truest and best sense of the Vf,r *'l. but they are not cravens, and do 1 ' are for the title, even wfcen it comes ' ; wvned with the approval of the Atlanta sheet."
