8 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. THF. OFFICIAL TIME. The official time is us follows: FIRST CI.ASH.

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. Good Templar Entertainment. Christian Temple Lodge, No. (*!, Inde pendent Onier Good Templars, will o]>en Yonge’s Park Hall, at Duffy ni and Whitaker streets, to-night, with a programme both varied and interesting.

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.

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 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.
