Manassas Journal, September 5, 1904 (Prince William Co., Virginia) WHERE TO FIND ENTERTAINMENT Bureau of information Army Maneuvers Appended herein is a list of person who have arranged to entertain the visitors during the maneuvers. Veterans and others who prefer to locate on the battlefield can easily be accommodated. Those who desire to bring tents and provisions can do so. It must not be understood that this list embraces all that will entertain. We believe we are within bounds when we say that from 5,000 to 10,000 visitors can be accommodated within the area of maneuvers. This is in addition to the 25,000 soldiers who will be provided for by the government. Several hundred cots will be placed in the public buildings in Manassas and elsewhere, for which the nightly charge will be 50 cents each. The Southern Railway will run excursion trains at frequent interval between Washington and the area of maneuvers, stopping at Manassas, Lewis Crossing, Wellington, Gainesville, Haymarket and Thoroughfare, so that those not otherwise provided for can easily return to Washington. Livery accommodation, limited only by the capacity of the country, will be found at each railroad station and at the Horse Show grounds. At the latter place it is expected that special arrangements will be made for the hiring of saddle horses. Inquiries inclosing stamps will receive prompt attention. W. H. W. MORAN, CHAIRMAN GEORGE C.
