NEPTUNE'S DAUGHTERS.
THE SAVANNAH YACHT CLUB CEL
EBRATES LADIES’ DAY.
The Boats Burdened *'ith Precious
Freight—An Exciting Face Between
the Zinga and Jennie S—The Zinga
Vins by Haifa Minute—A Foul Dis
putes the Victory in the First Class—
A Hop Closes the Day.
The doors of the Savannah Yacht Club
house -were thrown wide oj>en yesterduy for
tli<‘ reception of the ladies in whose honor
the races of the flay weiv sailed, ;uid a count
less number of the fair friends of the club
were on hand to grace the occasion. The
wharf was tilled with ladies and their es
corts an hour before the time for the
race to start, and not the least pleas
ant part of the day was spent, there.
About 4 o’clock the captains began getting
tbeir boats in order and the skiffs began
coming in for the precious freight they were
to take aboard and each returned well
loaded with the guests of the day. who were
to lend their presence to the varions com
petitors for the silver pitchers that awaited
the victors. At 4 :06 o’ciock Commodore Hone
fired the first gun. Sails were hoisted and the
trim yachts sailed up above the imaginary
line from which they were to start. A good
breeze was blowing. Although it was not
stiff enough to make a speedy race, still it
was strong enough for ladies’ day and filled
the sails nicely.
THE START.
At 4 :16 the starting gun was fired, and
the race began. Three minutes after the
firing of the gun the Etta passed over the
line, and sailed smoothly down to the point.
Two minutes later the Claude went over,
and in a minute more the Vernon. These
comprised the first class, and they started
out beautifully, with every sail well set. At
4:23 the gun boomed again, this time for
the second clas, and the Chance, the club
boat, crossed the line within but a few sec
onds, followed by tho Jennie
8., which preceded the Zinga
just 10 seconds. A race between
the Jennie S. and Zinga always excites in
terest. but on account of the presence of the
ladies the interest was boiled down and con
centrated. The other boats were almost un -
noticed. Everyone was watching these
two, over which there is so much rivalry,
and the eyes of the spectators were riveted
on them from the beginning to the end of
the race. On account of the quick start of
the Chance and the fleet ness of the Jennie
8. and Zinga, all the boats bunched after
the point was rounded ana the fleet sailed for
some distance en masse until a shift in the
wind forced them to tack, then they scat
tered.
THE RACE BETWEEN THE FAVORITES.
The Etta led for awhile; then the favor
ite pair got the wind and outsailed every
thing. bo accidents occurred: nothing to
check the speed happened, and they sailed
wing and wing to the stake boat.” at the
mouth of Herb river and turned it one after
the other as closely as one boat could follow
another. The return then began. Up the
river they sailed, their speed being so nearly
equal that, it was impossible for one on the
wharf to notice an increase or dimu
nition of the distance between them.
The Zinga gained slightly at the point, how
ever. ana led from that to the stake boat.,
which she rounded first, the Jennie 8. hut a
few seconds behind her. Again these white
wings started on their course and down to
Herb river they sailed as though the dis
tance between them was unchangeable.
The Zinga rounded the stake boat first, and
they sailed up to within half a mile of the
point.
THE ZING A WINS.
There the Jennie K. began to lead, and she
increased the distance between herself and
hr comjietitor steadily for awhile, but then
the Zinga began to show her worth. In but
a short time she closed upon the Jennie 8.,
then passed her and sailed ahead. This lead
was maintained until the point was reached,
and in rounding it the Jennie S. gained
some of the distance, but on the stretch to
the stake Iwat the Zinga still had a good
lead and she kept it, turning in advance of
the Jennie 8., and crossing the line at s:fiil :50,
the Jennie following at 5:34:15.
The victorious Zinga was hailed with
shouts of welcome as she passed the wharf,
and the Jennie 8, too, was cheered for her
efforts. The second class boats led the first
class by a good long distance, and their sails
were on the decks when the Claude was seen
coming up on the last turn. The Etta, her
competitor, was some distance behind, und
it was evident that the Claude hail the race,
but when she turned the stakeboat she lost
the wind.
A FOUL.
The tide had turned and the boat was
drifting helplessly with it. It had been run
over near the marshes and there was a good
distance between her and the stake beat,
but she was drifting toward it fast and the
distance between them was rapidly narrow
ing. Meanwhile the Etta had corne up and
turned the stake-lcoat, and she too was
becalmed. Both the boats lay there and
every one was watching to see which would
get out first, when the Claude drifted
against, the Etta and then interest died out,
for it was certain there was a foul somo
where. Both got out later and the Claude
crossed the line at 5:56:50, the Etta at
5:67:18.
When the Captains of the resjiertdve boats
came ashore the foul was claimed by the
Etta and denied by the Claude, the former
claiming that the latter forced her on the
■take boat, while the latter asserted that the
Etta crowded in when she knew there was
not room enough to pass and that she
touched the stake boat before the Claude
touched her.
FAIR BELLIGERENTS.
The Captains and crews of theso boats
were earnest in their claims, but their
earnestness was mild compared with the ex
cited declarations of the ladies that sailed in
each. They beseiged Com. Hone and each
poured tier story of the affair into his ears,
and finally he concluded that the
only way to settle it was to
let the ladies representing the
two boots have the hall up stairs to them
selves, and he wished good luck to the side
that came out best in the affray, but when
the officers of the boats mode their state
ments he deckled to let the matter rest until
a meeting could be called and witnesses ex
amined; so the prize of the first class still
remains in the hands of the club awaiting
the decision. Mean while, Capt. J. H. Dews,
of the Zinga, was escoitcd into the hall, and
Mr. Jehu 8. Schley presented him the
pitcher ho had won.
FROM WORK TO PLAY.
The Chance was left far behind in the
race, and after going partly over the course,
she was brought back to the dub house anil
anchor'd. The Vernon had the merriest
crew of all aboard. The boat was loaded
with young men and their fair companions,
but oil the beauty that graced her decks
could not win the race for her, so the cap
tain sailed her away down the river, turn
ing the race into a pleasure excursion, and
about an hour after the other boats liud
anchored she came lazily creeping up
the river to the tune of “There’s One More
I'dver to Cross," which was heard from her
•lock.
In this race there was no time allowance
lor tho length of the boats, so the prize, was
awardedson the actual timeout.

SHADY TESTIMONY.
A Spicy Divorce Case in the Superior
Court.
The regular habitues of the court room
who haunt the halls of justice, wore favored
yesterday with one of the cases for which
they wait so long and patiently. In the Su
perior Court the divorce case of J. M. Lewis
vs. Mary E. N. Lewis was tried, and the
testimony was spicy enough to please the
oldest of professional jurors. Sergt. Lewis
charged his wife with adultery with several
different persons.
The testimony produced was to the effect
that Mrs. Lewis had been seen in the
neighborhood dressed in men's clothes and
smoking cigarettes. A letter full of fond
expressions, closing with an appeal to the
recipient thereof to call as she wanted to
borrow 85, was for the delectation of the
court and attendants. Affidavits
of neighbors that men had
gone to Mrs. Lewis’ room while
her husband was absent were also intro
duced and much other evidence of a similar
character. Policeman Thorpe testified that
he had to order Mrs. Lewis to stop writing
notes to him, and that he once lent her #4 50
which he had never seen since.
Mrs. Lewis denied that she had smoked
cigarettes, though she admitted that she had
dressed in her husband’s clothes, but it was
just for fun.
Tho jury- failed to agree in half an hour,
and, as the same jury had to lie used in
another case, the court was forced to make
it a mistrial.
J. J. Abrams appeared for the plaintiff
and Isaac Beckett for the defendant.
THE CITY ATTORNEYSHIP.
The Office Not Likely to Go Begging
—Candidates at Work.
The scramble for the Corporation Attor
nevship has already begun. Capt. Cun
ningham’s resignation, although it was
known by a number of members of Council
that it would be presented, was a surprise
to most of the board. The office will be
filled at the next meeting, on June 3*9.
Among those prominently mentioned for
the place are J. R. Saussy, W. W. Fraser,
S. B. Adams, George VV. Owens and Abram
Minis. The position is a salaried one and
is worth $i,500 a year. All of the candi
dates are yet in the hands of their friends.
No formal applications have been filed
at the Clerk of Council’s office. There
was a great deal of quiet but earnest work
dono yesterday by the friends of candidates.
One Alderman said last night, that he lias
already been spoken to by at least half a
dozen different jiorties in the interests of
four out of the five attorneys whose names
are mentioned above.
BACK FROM FLORIDA.
Dr. W. F. Bruner's Investigation of the
Gulf Quarantine.
Dr. W. F. Bruner, who was sent to
Florida by the Health Board lust week to
investigate the quarantine in tho interior
and along tho cost of that State, returned
yesterday morning. Ho visited Jucksonv die,
Bartow, Sanford, Punta Gorda, Piuita
Rossa, Tampa, Titusville and St. Augustine.
Punta Gorda, he says, is tlie only
place ho visited which is not
well quarantined. Ho mado a thor
ough investigation at every point he
visited, and will submit to the’ Mayor and
Health Board at once a full report in regard
to the condition of Florida, and will recom
mend strict measures to prevent the intro
duction of yellow fever here. There are, he
says, any number of refugees from Key
West in the interior of Florida.
With strict quarantine he does not appre
hend any danger, however, of a further
spread of the disease. Savannah, he says,
is already well protected by the excellent
quarantine in force here.
The Louisiana Rice Crop.
The reports received by rice men from
New Orleans a few days ago of damage to
the rice crop by the recent storms which
submerged a considerable district in lower
Louisiana with salt water seem to liavo
leon greatly exaggerated. The planters in
the district referred to have flumes connect
ing with the Mississippi river and they can
throw fresh water over their fields,'thus
destroying the effects of the salt water. Tho
reports from the upper Louisiana districts,
however, are not encouraging. A merchant
in New Orleans, long connected with tho
rice trade, writes to his correspondents in
Savannah tluit. he has recently inspected the
crops for 100 *inilcs on both sides of the
Mississippi and he estimates that the grow
ing crop will be 25 jier cent, less than that
of last year.

NUMBERS ON CITY HOUSES.
The Necessity for a Uniform and. Com
plete System of Numbering.
The necessity for a more complete system 1
of numbering houses in Kn\ tumuli is appar
ent. In the southern and southeastern and
sou til western portions of the city which
haw been built up in the j wist five or six
years comparatively few house* are num
bered and those very irregularly. South of
Gaston street not one half of the houses are
numbered at ail and three-fourths of those
are numbered wrong.
The system of numbering which was
adopted years ago, and which ts still in vogue,
provides that upon streets running east
and west the houses must be numbered with
even numbers on the north side undixld num
bers on the south side, commencing at the
eastern terminus of tho street. Upon streets
running north and south the even numbers
are on the east side and the odd numbers on
the west side.
The ordinance prescribing the manner in
which houses are to be numbered was passed
in February, 1842, and reads:
It shall be the duty of the Street and burn:
Committee to provide some competent person,
painter, brazier or other artist, who shall pro
ceed under direction of said committee to num
lier the houses on each street with paint In large
figures, and in a legible and durable manner
unless the tenant, occupant or owner of such
house shall elect a more costly and elegant
method, in which case it shall be left to his or
her option us to cost and materials, whenever
such cost may exceed the cost in the general
plan for numbering the city at large.
There shall lie levied upon every bouse in the
eoporate limits, not facing upon the lanes and
alleys, such sum as the Street and Lane Com
mittee shall require to defray the cost of num
bering such house, and the same sum upon every
door of each tenement house, to be paid at the
time of numbering the same to the order or by
the authority of the Street and Lane Commit
tee, and upon the failure of every such owner of
house or houses, said owner or owners shall
forfeit and pay into the City Treasury the sum
of Si.
The plan provided by this ordinance did
not extend farther south than Harris street,
farther west than Farm street or farther
east than what was then the Eastern Wharf
Company’s laud. It provide/! for the inde
pendent numbering of the houses east of
East Broad street, in Currytown and Yama
craw. This was forty-five years ago. Since
then the city has grown, the houses have
been numbered, many of them, several
times, and wrongly, so that in order to get
a correct and uniform system it will lie nec
essary to renumber the entire city.
Somewhere about twelve years rtgo the
city undertook to straighten out the tangled
up system. Alderman Thomas took the
matter in hand again a year ago, and made
some progress, hut in his opinion the only
way to get a complete and uniform system
is to renumber every house in the city.
There are, at a rough estimate, somewhere
about 8.000 houses, and the work would eost
anywhere from S6OO, at the lowest estimate,
up to *I,OOO or $1,200, according to the
style of numbering. Alderman Thomas is
in favor of the city's assuming the cost of
the work, instead of levying it upon each
house. The latter plan he does not consider
practicable where so many houses are to be
numbered.
Postmaster Lamar addressed the City
Council a communication in regard to the
matter, and it was read at the meeting on
Wednesday night and referred to the Com
mittee on .Streets und Lanes. Capt. Lamar
called the Council's attention to the fre
quent 1 and not only vexatious, but often
serious delays in the delivery of the mails
by carriers on account of the absence of
numbers on houses, and the trouble which
the carriers have in finding parties to whom
letters are addressed. A uniform system of
house numbers is necessary to secure a
prompt and safe delivery of the mails by
carriers.
The retail merchants experience the same
difficulty in delivering goods. Porters
oftentimes are unable to find the parties to
whom goods are sent, and are compelled to.
return them to the store, where they remain
until called for.
Alderman Thomas is anxious to have the
houses renumbered throughout the entire
city. The only thing in the way is the large
expenditures by the city for other purposes,
which necessitate the postponing of much
important work until next year, when it
can be provided for in the budget.
BY RAIL TO THE SEA.
Trains to Begin Running to Tybeo Next
Week, Saturday.
Everybody is anxious to know when the
Tybee railroad will be opened for travel.
The statement was made some time ago
that it would be in operation by June 25.
Capt. Purse said yesterday that unless
something unforeseen occurred trains will
begin running regularly on that day. Termi
nal facilities have been secured at tho Sa
vannah, Florida and Western Railway de
pot and trains will leave from and arrive at
that point until the company completes its
line to Randolph street. Although trains
\v;ll begin running on June 25, the formal
opening of the road will not take place until
it is turned over by the contractor to tho
company.
As soon as the Lazaretto creek bridge is
finished and connection can be made with
the eastern end of tho road, which will bo
in a duv or two, construction trains will run
through to the island. The bridge is al
ready in position. *
The schedule has not yet been mado up
but it is understood that at first three trains
will be run each way daily, and on Sundays
an extra train will be put on. The schedule
will lie arranged so as to accommodate the
demands of travel.
The picnic grounds-at Tort Bartow will
be put in shape at once. The new artesian
well which the railroad has just finished
there is flowing a four-inch stream five or
six feet ulxn-e the surface, and when
pipes are put up it is expected that it will
carry to a height of at least thirty feet.
The well is 300 t eetdeep, and tho water is said
to surpass tluit of any well that has yet
been sunk. It will be used to supply the
company’s locomotives, and will also furnish
a water supply tor pleasure parties at the
picnic grounds. The company has an ample
fresh water supply ut Tyliee from the three
wells there.
The furniture is being put into the Ocean
House, which, according to the contract,
must be completely furnished throughout by
June 20. Mr. Hodges exjjects to have the
hotel ready for guests, if possible, by Juno
25, when the rood is opened.
Released from Quarantine.
The Norwegian bark Secundu Emilie,
which lias been at Sapelo quarantine station
with yellow fever, was released yesterduy
by order of Marine Hospital Surgeon White
on coudition that she will not
enter any Southern port. The ves
sel was bound from Para, Brazil, to
Charleston when she was ordered to Ba|w!o.
Two men died on the voyage from yellow
fever, mid two deaths occurred at quarantine.
All of the crew except one were sick, but
have recovered. The vessel will probably
return to Norway.

“HOME," A MERRY SUCCESS.
Tho Fords Give an Excellent Perform
ance Beforo a Fine Audience.
The Theatre was filled last night. The
Fords gave their third performance of the
season. The play was T. W. Robertson’s
comedy ‘‘Home,” which had so remarkable
a run at Wallack’s theatre in New York
last season. It was not presented by the
Fords as well as they have presented some
other plays, but it was a merry success.
Everybody laughed and applauded.
Before tne comedy Mr. McCabe as Brutus
and Mr. Hanley as Cassius, with Mr. Wil
liam Fleming as Mettellus, gave the famous
quarrel scene from Julius Caesar. Mr. Mc-
Cabe and Mr. Hanley supported Robert
Downing in these characters, and their
presentation of the scene was a most suc
cessful piece of acting. After it, and before
the curtain was rung up again, Miss Isabel
Sternheimer sang Millard's “Waiting,” and
in response to an encore she gave a popular
song.
The comedy “Home” is in three acts.
The leading character is “Alfred Dorrison,”
who passes under the nameof “Col. White.”
In the first act he discovers a plot to drag
his father, “Mr. Dorrison, Sr.,” into a
matrimonial alliance with a “Mrs. Pinch
beck,” who is the sister of “Captain Mont
raffe,” a pseudo Captain of the Mexican
army, but who is really an adventuress, in
order to secure the old man’s money.
Young Dorrison resolves to save his
father, and in the second act
he attempts to break up the
Elot. He is unknown to his father whom
e had not seen since he was a child and is
driven out of his house for interfering with
his love affairs. He afterward makes him
self known and returns to receive a pater
nal blessing and bis bride Dora Thorn
hought, a young lady whom he first met
with his sister Lucy at his father’s home.
The closing act bring a happy end to
all the trials and Intrigues in which
Alfred has been involved, Lucy marries her
young lover, Bertie, Alfred weds Doea,
Capt. Montroffe hies himself out of their
way, Mrs. Pinchbeck, who turns out to be
a true woman, also retires from the scene
and Dorrison, sr., gives everybody his bless-
ing.
Mr. Hanley, as “Alfred," played the part
for all it was worth. Mr. McCabe, as
“Captain Montroffe,” had an excellent con
ception of the adventuresome, scheming
knave, whose only object was to gain his
living by his wits. Mr. Larry Doyle, as
“Mr. Dorrison, Sr.,” did not do himself full
justice. The part is different from any
which he has undertaken, and in it he was
not the success he is in other characters.
Mr. Joe F. Doyle, as “Ber
tie” caught the house, and was
warmly applauded. Miss Maude White as
“Lucy” was well received, and had the favor
of the audience. Her flower song in the
third act won for her repeated applause,
and several times sh 1 responded to recalls.
Miss Mollie Maeder as "Dora Thornhought”
did not ha ve an opportunity for much act
ing, but what she did was well performed.
Miss Clara Baker as “Mrs. Pinchbeck” gave
an admirable conception of that true and
noble -woman, forced by her crafty
brother into schemes from which she
shrank with horror, and from whose power
she at last frees herself and towers to the
height of womanhood. Miss Baker had the
favor of the audience from the start, and
she was warmly applauded. Mr. William
McLeod as “George,” had very little to do.
In his management of the performance
and the manner in which the play was put
upon the stage, Mr. Hanley gave evidence
ot excellent ability. The performance will
be repeated to-night.
The audience last night was one of the
most brilliant that the Fords have ever had.
In response to the request of the manage
ment a majority of the ladies appeared
without hats. The guests and bride and
groom’s attendants at the Gnann-Puder
wedding formed a theatre party and occu
pied seats in the parquette.
For Rickots, Marasmus, and Wasting
Disorders of Children,
Scott's Emulsion of Pure Cod Liver Oil with
Hypophosphites is unequaled. The rapidity
with which children gain flesh and strength
upon it is very wonderful. Read the follow
ing: “I have used Scott’s Emulsion in cases
of rickets and marasmus of long standing,
and have been more than pleased with the
results, as in every case the improvement
was marked."—J. M. Main, M. D., New

It would be hard to get up a more perfect
and a cheaper invention for cooking than
our po rta ’ole range, the New Record. Its
entire make-up is good and strong, and its
capacity fully equal, if not greater, than
many other "corresponding numbers. The
principal merits in it are the heavy duplex
grate for wood or coal and its easy arrange
ments for cleaning, which not one stove in a
hundred has. Its five boiler holes and end
shelf place it almost beyond improvement.
Coil and examine it.
Attention is called to the advertisement of
Mr. M. Sternberg, who has removed his Sil
verware, Clocks, Jewelry, Fancy Goods,
etc., damaged by water at his late fire, to
the store, lti 1-2 Broughton street, opposite
Ludden & Bates, where he proposes to sell
all of these goods regardless of
cost and value during the next
lour weeks. The reputation Mr. Stern
berg; bears, and the line lines of
goods he sells, will, no doubt, insure him u
speedy sale, as he does not intend to carry
back to his regular place of business any
article, no matter how slightly damaged.
The largest portion of his stock is only
slightly soiled, and here is a good opportu
nity to buy first-class goods at your owp

The game broke up in a row on the ninth
inuing, caused by the rowdyism of the St.
Louis players, who swarmed into the field
and it took a heavy force of police to clear
it. The managers saw that it would be un
safe to proceed, and the game was called
back to the eighth inning. Welch, one
of the St. Louis men, was put under
arrest for assaulting the Baltimore second
baseman.
