SAVANNAH’S FESTIVAL.
Meeting at the Exchange To-day to Con
sider an Annual Celebration.
The meeting at the City Exchange at
noon to-day to perfect the organization of
a movement creating an annual trades
and historical festival, similar to t e
Mardi Gras of New Orleans, should be at
tended by every representative citizen of
Savannah. The suggestion of this cele
bration last week received commendatory
approval, and immediate action was taken
to organize a definite movement. A
limited canvass of the leading
business firms and corporations
was made and the project was commended
so earnestlv that a call was issued for the
meeting to-dav. The. matter appeals to
the personal interest of every citizen, and
there is little doubt that it will culminate j
in the institution of an event that w ill
rival in time the great festival of the Cres
cent Citv.
The signal success of the recent pageant
is a matter of congratulation, and it is
certain that in a second display the de
ficiencies and drawbacks and difficulties
inseparable from the first attempt will lie
obviated. In the meeting to-day a repre
sentation front the railroad corporations
and the various civic and military organi
zations is invited. Let there lie a general
attendance. The following is the call:
Editor Mornimi AVies: We. the under

Section 4213 of the Revised Statutes of
the Cnitud States contains provisions
which have for some time been regarded
as almost obsolete, from the fact that they
have not lieen strictly enforced. Secretary
Folger recently forwarded a circular to
the different Collectors of Customs,
calling their tUfuition to the sec
tion referred to, ami its it is
of special interest to master* of
vessels engaged in the foreign carrying
trade, we publish two of the closing para
graphs for their iiffortgariop, They read
as follows:
“Collectors of Customs are required to
obtain copies of receipts for fees given
masters of vessels liv any Consular offi
cer, and to forward them at the close of
each month to the Fifth Auditor of the
Treasury.
“If the consular receipt for any vessel
shall not lie produced to the Collector, the
latter is required to reiiort at the close of
each month the fact, together with the
name and home port of the vessel ami the
foreign ports whence the vessel shall have
arrived: and if it shall lie alleged that any
Consular officer has uot given to the
master the receipt iu the manner required
by tin* section cited, such fact shall also
lie reported,"
Travel on the Savaocali, Florida and
Western Railway.
Quite a large number of Northern visi
tors have daily been passing Qi rough the
city during the past two weeks and the
trains over the .Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway are generally crowded
totlieir utmost capacity. Mr. George ”
Patterson, the courteous passenger agent
of that line, has for some time booked
from two to four palace ears on every
South bound train. The train which went
out yesterday, though large, was exceed
ed by that which left Savannah for Jack
souvijleon Saturday morning. The latter
train comprised four palace cars, one
passenger coach, besides smoking, bag
gage and mail car, and there was not a ■
vacant seat in the train. The liberal pa
tronage which this popular railway en
joys is a substantial proof of Jhe excel
lence of the accommodations afforded as
well as of the energy and efficiency of its
officers and employes.
Weather
How It Happened.
L‘a February first, the Jasper Greens, of
Savannah, wrote a letter to the Floyd Ri
fles, of this city, inviting them to become
■their guests on the 12th, during the Sesqui-
C’entennial. This letter left Savannah on
the 2d of February, and went on an “ex
cursion,” as this word was stamped on
the envelope, to Jacksonville, Fla. In
the meantime the Ses<jui came off, and
the Rifles became the guests o< fbeOgle
thorpes, and Captain Hardeman explain
ed the reason why they accepted tbeOgle
thorpes instead of the* Greens. After the
company’s return to Macon, the invita
tion left Jacksonville on the 18th and w as
received in Macon on the 20th inst. The
envelope had on it, besides the numerous
hours of arrival and departure, the words
“missont,” “forwarded” and “excursion.”
Captain Hardeman returned the envelope
to the gallaut Jasper Greens, so they
might learn why their invitation was not
accepted.— Moron Graphic.

THE GAMES TO-DAY.
The Onrco-RMUs Encounter Between
Scotch and French Champions—The
Famous Scottish Sports.
The arrival of Duncan lloss and the
champion Scottish athletes in Savannah,
and the announcement that a match for
the championship of the world will take
place to-day between Ross and Thei
baud Bauer, the champion Graeco-Roman
wrestler of France, has created a sensation
in sporting circles and among those inter-
ested in sporting matters.
A Morning News reporter inter
viewed the great Scott h champion
upon his arrival, and found a gen
tleman entirely different from the
pugilist that many imagine him to lie.
Mr. Ross is a modest, unpretending young
man, standing over six feet high and
dressed in the prevailing style of men’s
costume. His face has a manly and
pleasant expression, and his voice is in
harmony with his appearance.
The impression he gives is at once pleas
ing, and does away with all prejudice that
may unreasonably have gained ground
among certain classes against his profes
sion. The athlete was in a good humor
and socially inclined, and related the inci
dents of the recent match at Jacksonville,
Fla. He was unwilling to say much on
the subject of his meeting with the French
champion, and he is evidently concerned
in regard to the safety of his laurels. It
has been announced and understood by
the public that Ross’ adversary would lie
Capt. J, C. Daly, the Irish athlete, but for
some existing reason Daly got into a surly
mood and suddenly lelt Jacksonville before
the match came off there, and .Mr Richard
K. Fox, of the New York Police Gazette,
hacked the champion against the great
French wrestler, Theobaud Bauer, who is
justly the Graeco Roman champion of the
world. Bauer arrived in the city Satur
day. and "ill meet Ross to-day in a
struggle for the championship medal. He
is a powerful fellow, not as young nor as
well-knit, apparently, as Ross, but he has
an enormous breadth of shoulders and
depth of chest and is somewhat over six
feet in height. He served in the French
army and carries conspicuously upon his
| breast near his right shoulder the ugly
i mark where a German bullet went
, straight in. He w alks heavily and slowly,
! anil complains that his feet are badly af-
flicted with corns. But he is a mighty
man and a dangerous adversary.
••Bauer is a hard man to grapple with,
then?” asked the rei>orter.
“Oh, yes: he is a powerful adversary.”
“You got aw ay with hint, though, at
Jacksonville.”
“Yes; but it was a hard tussle. Bauer
is a better man on the Graeco-Roman style
than I am. He was the man who wres
tled the Australian. Miller, and really in
troduced that form of wrestling in Amer
ica. He is a had man to meet."
The struggle to-day will be for the
ownership of the Police Gazette
championship medal, apd w ill, without
doulit, lie one of the finest exhibitions of
the wrestling art ever witnessed in the
South. Both men are in dead earnest,
ami the encounter will be no exhibition
match, but n hard fought contest for the
champion’s reward.
A platform has lieen erected at
the Base Balt I’ark, where the
games will take place, and padded so
that in falling no injuries will be received
on the uncovered boards. ’The wrestling
will lie the principal feature of the day,
and will occur about three o’clock. Pre
vious to the struggle both Ross and
Bauer, and the athletes Uliristol. Mclmiis,
and a Scotch amateur, Alex. Mcßae, from
Florida, w ill participate in the famous
Scottish games, w hich w ill take place at
2 o’clock, and will consist of trials of
strength, spf'ed and agility, as follows:
Ist. Throw ing the heavy hammer,weigh
ing Aixteeu pounds.• 2d, Throwing the
light hammer, weighing twelve pounds.
3d.'Putting the beat*}' slope, weighing
twentv-one pounds. 4tii. Putting the
light ' stone, weighing fourteen
pounds. sth. Throwing heavy weight
(from side) weighing fifty-six
jioiiiids. tith. Throwing heavy
weight (for height), weighing fifty-six
pounds. 7th. Tossing a caber. (The ca
lier is a pole from seven to ten feet long,
four inches in diameter at one end and
si-ten inches at the other, and generally
weighs two hundred and live pounds).
Bth. Running high jump. Sth. Running
long 'jump, lrttii. Standing high jump,
lltb, Standing long jump. 12th. Hitch
and kick. J3th. Running one hundred
yards, ibb. lfunlle race.
In these contests several well known
amateurs from Savannah will appear,
The performance will take place in aiv
eordauce with Scotch Caledonian rules,
and will be w itnessed probably by a large
audience. Ross offers a prize of ♦IOO to
any man who will equal him in feats of
strength, and in the games will give the
following (kUIs: 15 teet in throwing the
hammer ; 2 feet in putting the
stone; 1 foot in throwing the (iff weight;
and four feet in tossing the calier.
Late last night it was learned that both
Ross and Bauer are preparing for a ter
rible struggle to-day. The i>ossession of
the Championship medal by Ross, and his
liold challenge to wrestle any man in
the world, lias excited the jealousy of
Bajier. gnd the encounter to-day will be a
decisive one,
Tlie Picturesque Sun hi.use
The new Florida route recently inaugu

fords a novel and beautiful trip for tourist
travel. An agreeable diversity of tours is
presented, and the moderate rate of fare
puts it within the means-of all to visit this

and marooning parties will find especial
inducements to enjoy its pleasures, while
hunters and anglers will find game and

Canoeists will have a stream especially

In short, perhaps no section of Florida is

WATER-LOGGED.
A Darien Schooner Abandoned At Sea —
The Crew Rescued in a Famishing
Condition.
A New York special of the 22d instant
says: “Among the first vessels which ar
rived to-day was the Alexandria, from
Havana and Mexican ports, bringing the
Captain and crew- of the Bessie E. Dickin
son, who were picked up in a half fam
ished condition on the morning of the 20th
inst. They had clung to the trunk and
rigging of the vessel for over thirty-six
hours, the greater part of which time a.
gale prevailed. In an interview Captain
W. E. Roberts, who was in command of
the wrecked vessel, said;
“The Bessie E. Dickinson was a three
masted, full rigged schooner, and was
bound for New York from Darien, Ga.,
having on board some 000,000 feet of lum
ber. On the 18th inst., at noon, while off
G'ai>e Hatteras, a heavy gale from the
northeast sprang up and continued with
such violence that I ordered the vessel
hove to. .She labored heavily in the high
seas until 8 o’clock at night, when I
sounded her pumps and found her taking
water rapidly. Then commenced the
work for life.' To keep the vessel upright
I ordered the masts cut away, knowing
That, at the worst, she could only
water-log; hut all to no purpose.
In a few hours she was floating even with
the water, and the crew and myself took
to the trunks and remaining rigging,
where we remained until taken off by the
Alexandria on the 20tli. We saved noth
ing from the wreck, except the clothes we
stand in. The wreck is a most dangerous
one, as she is floating level with the water
on the northern edge of the Gulf Stream,
tietween Capes Lookout and Hatteras,
immediately in the course of Southern
bound vessels.”
Barney McAuley’s Engagement His
New Comedy, “The Jerseyinan.”
To-night the brilliaut comedian,
Barney McAulev, will liegin an engage
ment at the Theatre, opening as “Uncle
Dan’l” in Locke’s American comedy, “A
Messenger from Jarvis Section.” In this
play Mr. McAjuley is too well known to
need any introduction. The play itself
has all the elements of popularity, with
refined humor for the parquette and dress
circle, and an overflow of comical, start
ling and sensational situations for the
balcony and gallery.
Tomorrow night Mr. McAuley will
appear in his new comedy, “The Jersey
man,” in which the role of “Gilderoy N.G.
Funk” gives even better opportunities for
his immense resources than does “l licle
Dan’l.” In a recent criticism the Phila
delphia North American says:
“It is quite evident ill less than ten
minutes after he comes oil that ‘Gilderoy
N. G. Punk’ is a distinct individual from
‘Uncle Dan’l,’ lip is a inan of many and
wonderful schemes, such as the invention
of a revolving race track, which keeps the
leading racing horses always in front of
the grand stand, and a chronic alert,
ness as a seeker of rewards offered
for lost heirs and escaped criminals, and
matrimonial alliances with heiresses " hen
found. The chagrin of failure in scheme
after scheme, the enthusiasm of imaginary
triumph in the numerous intervals be
tween failures, and the good humored
versatility with which ‘Gilderoy’ accepts
each disappointment only to tear olf after
something new, carry with them continual
opportunities for Mr. McAuley’s style of
comic impersonation, and in his skilltul
hands ‘Gilderoy N. G. Punk’ becomes a
strongly marked and yet quite natural
character—a condensation of all the
cheeky, young ruralists, conceited, but
green; mercenary, but honest at heart;
who can be remembered bv persons of
country experience. But it is Mr. Me-
Auley’s acting that makes all this, quite
as much as the schemas, situations and
epigrammatic chunks of country wisdom
with which the playwright furnishes
him.”
The Money Flowing lu—Over *BOO At

The subscriptions to the Savannah fund
for the relief ol' the destitute sufferers
from the floods in the West show that

appeals that come from the
banks of the ‘ Ohio. It is
impossible to givfe a full statement of the
operations of the tqmj to-day, as the’ coif)-

A Favorite Seaboard Resort.
The frame of the addition to the
new hotel at Montgomery has been raised,
and it is expected that the building will be
ready by the first of April. The hotel
proper is nearly completed, anil is one of
the most attractive edifices in the coun
try. The prospect is that this will shortly
be a favorite summer resort. Those who
know the nla<;e say it is oue of the most
iicautiful locations on the seaboard, and
with the present accommodation of three
trains a day from the city it is easy of
access. Those who have not visited
Montgomery within the past few months
should do so; they will be surprised at
the improvements that have lieen made.

A FAIR TEST.
Hecker’s Perfect Baking Powder.
The contract for supplying the United
States Government with seventy-five
thousand (73,000) lbs, of Baking Powder
during the ensuing year has been award
ed to
BECKER’S PERFECT BAKING POWDER,
it having been tested by Dr. Edward G.
Love, Analytical Chemist for the govern
ment, and ’ recommended by him for its
excellence, and beeause it contained a
HIGHER PERCENTAGE OF GAS
(which means that it will make lighter
Bread and Biscuit) than either the “Roy
al” or any of the other cream-tartar bak
ing powders which he examined. The
samples analyzed by Dr. Love were fur
nished by the’Government Commissioners,
and were without the manufacturers’ la
bel or name, and designated with a num
ber known only to the Commissioners.
It will thus be seen that when Hecker’s
Perfect Baking Powder is submitted to
AN IMPARTIAL TEST,
its superiority is acknowledged, and the
popular verdict so emphatically ex
pressed in its favor is fully sustained.

“FRANCESCA DA RIMINI.”
Barrett’s Transformation of Dante’s
Dreaui Into a Dramatic Ideal.
The above play, one of the latest and
best of modern American dramas, is from
the pen of Hon. George H.*Boker, of
Philadelphia, late Minister to Russia.
It is a tragedy abounding in opportuni
ties for the display of some of the finest
delineations of histrionic power. The
story is from Dante, and as pre
sented in the leading role by Mr. Bar
rett, supported by his excellent company,
constitutes one of the finest of our later
plays.
Mr. Barrett as “Lanciotto" was admira
ble throughout, manly anil honorable, de
spite his deformity, rising from the ordi
nary plane of the gentleman to the loftiest
heights of tragic sublimity. ‘‘Lanciotto,”
although the newest, is perhaps one of
the best of Mr. Barrett’s roles.
Miss Waiiiwright as “Francesca’’ was
all that could be desired. Her conception
of the role of the heroine was admirable
from first to last, and at times rose to a
life-likeness that was thrilling and moving
in the highest degree.
Mr. Skinner as “Count Paolo” was
master of his role, and in its moving parts
won deserved applause.
The parts of “Pape,” “Malatesta’s”
jester, “Malatesta,” head of the Guelphs,
“Guiilo,” head of the Ghibelins, and in
fact all ot the characters were admirably
presented, and the general judgment of
the audience was that “Francesca Da
Rimini” is an admirable play, and as pre
sented by Mr. Barrett and his company
was a decided histrionic triumph.
FASHION WRINKLES.
Brocaded Velveteen*—Checks anil Plaids
—Printed Fabrics—White Goods—New
Buttons, etc.
Checks and plaids will be the feature in
spring silks.
Brocaded velveteen appears among
spring jiovelties.
Buttercups and blackberries are the lat
est Persian combination for bouquets.
Fur capes and collars are fastened with
long ribbon strings tied in a full, flowing
bow.
Woven trimmings of white down are
preferred to fur or chenille for trimming
opera cloaks.
Plush linings find greater favor than
fur linings that fatigue the wearer by
their great weight.
Long egg-shaped buttons with circles of
black passementerie eoril are the trim
mings lor cloth redingotes.
Bodices of velvet, whether plain or bro
caded, are elegant anil fashionable for
afternoon, dinner and reception toilet.
, Chain bracelets of India designs, made
of yellow gold, are in great- favor, and
bau'gle bracelets of gold wire as fine as
thread, several being worn at ope time,
are likewise highly popular,
New French hats are trimmed with
narrow braid embroidery. Of course, in
this case the hat must match the dress in
material and color, the crown is plaited,
and the smooth brim has a narrow border.
Tortoise-shell ornaments for the hair
are now very fashionable, especially the
clear amber sort in different shapes.’ The
most becoming and the favorites are the
hairpins with small halls at the top, two
or three being used to ornament the hair
on one side.
Articles of dress as well as mantles,
hats and muffs made of material to match
the costume are now trimmed with hand
some bows. Large and small fur collars
are fastened with long ribbons, and muff's
are often to be seen with bows to match,
in the middle or on both sides.
A garment which is to continue in wear
through the spring months, as well as the
cape, is the “douibletfe Moldave.” This
will be of ligljt fabrics, such as black
veiling lined with colored foulard, pongee
or “surah glace.” It will be closed all
the way down the front with loops of satin
or Ottoman ribbon, or with jet fastenings
and drooping ornaments a cotnbined with a
shell-shaped lace trimming. This will be
a very useful garment for ladies who do
not like tight fitting waists. It is also
serviceable for evening wear. For this
purpose, however, pelisse of plush or In
dia cachemire are much more elegant,
hut they are too costly to he general!*
adopted.
Printed fabrics promise to he more fash
ionable next season than the woven bro
caded figures that have lieen so long in
favor, alid among these are foulard silks
Qf’plain'' Surface, or with satip finish, ot
else with very bfogd twills, like those of
silk surah, These are shown in the high
colors amt large figures described in the
Indian pongees, and an oft-repeated de
sign among these, called the ‘‘crushed
rose pattern,” has full blown roses of
every color, thrown together without
foliage, and entirely covering the surface
of the fabric. The mosaic designs also
show many colors, and there are indigo
blue grounds with white linked rings,
bars, blocks and balls that Will make most
tasteful dressses. The star patterns-" bite
on red, blue, b'own or green grounds—
are very neat, and others with small
white sprigs repeat the popular designs
of last year.

Was Sit a Few Slit Days Ap
That our Sesqni-Ceutennlal celebration painted Savannah’s rapid progress
from the hour when Oglethorpe first planted the banner of civilization
to the present hour of her pre-eminent glory among the sister
hood of cities of the South. On that day of
undying memory the
DRY GOODS TRADE OF SAVANNAH
Was first established, and Tomoehichi and the Y’amaeraw Indians traded the fruits of indus
trious chase in exchange for Georgia’s first importation of
Fashionable Dry Goods.
No newspaper advertisement heralded to the red men the list of bargains, but from mouth
to mouth the rumor flew that Yamacraw Bluff was tlie scene of a mighty sale® These
grand bargains were dis]>ensed by two of . Ogle thorite's followers.
