THE VERNON DRIVING PARK.
Its Lease by John E. Dowling—The
Electric Road to Be Running In
March.
John E. Dowling has leased the Vernon
Driving Park for a term of five years, with
the exception of the time required by the
Savannah Jockey Club for its spring and
fail meetings,at a rental of SI,OOO per year.
Mr. Dowling intends to try and build up a
health horse racing sentiment in Savan
nah, and it was with this end in view that
be leased the track.
Workmen are busily engaged in com
pleting the ditches around the race course,
audit is expected that the work will be fin
ished by Jan. 1. The work of dressing the
track will then be carried on, and by Feb.
1 Savannah can beast of one of the" finest
race courses in the country.
Stables are now in course of erection, and
thirty-nine will be ready for occupancy by
Saturday night. Theee stills are ot the
latest pattern and are built with a view to
the utmost comfort and convenience of
stock. The roofs project seven feet, and
form a shed under which vehicles may be
placed for shelter. They are built in double
rows, and between them will be an alley ten
feet wide for the exercise of racers.
Early in March Mr. Dowling proposes to
have an eight-day meeting at the course,
and will offer purses aggregating several
thousand dollars. He expects to have some
of the best racing blood in America present,
and the people of Savannah can look for fine
sport.
The electric road to the park will proba
bly be completed about that time. All
arrangements have been made for its con
struction, and the projectors are awaiting
the passage of the bill by the legislature
granting them a charter. It has passed the
Senate, and will probably go through the
House during the present session. The
rignt of wav for the road has been secured.
The road will start from about Lincoln
street, and will run almost directly south,
parallel with the White Bluff road, for
about a mile and a halt, when it will take a
southwesterly direction and enter the park
through Cooper’s pasture.
Under the terms of the lease all races
inaugurated by Mr. Dowling are to be
under the supervision of judges appointed
by the president of the Vernon Bark Asso
ciation, the judges to he selected from the
stockholders of the association and members
of the Savannah Jookev Club. The races
will be under the rules of the National
Trotting Association.
Mr. Dowling has made application to
have the Vernon Park course admitted
to membership in the national association,
the object of which is the improvement of
the breed and development of horses, and
the promotion of the Interests of the Ameri
can trotting turf; the prevention, detection
and punishment of frauds thereon, and
uniformity in the government of trotting
and pacing.
The center of the new park is to be laid
out in a base ball diamond, and a portion
will be set aside for the use of gun clubs.
The Georgia Hussars will have their tourna
ment! in the future at Vernon park. The
park will be thrown open for the inspection
of the public shortly after Christmas, and
all who wish will be allowed to have a spin
over the course.
The benefits to be derived from a first
class race course are many. Horses will be
brought here weeks before a race for prep
aration, and a large amount of money will
be spent as a consequence. The animals
will have to bo fed and shod, and crowds
of people will be attracted to the city from
neighboring places to witness the races.
A track such ns the Vernon park has long
been needed in Savannah.
The Savannah Jockey Club will not have
a spring melting this season, but will In
augural© its events early in the fall.
FLQWFRS FOR THffi HOLIDAYS.
Florlsta Having a Rush to Fill the Im
mediate Orders.
As the season advances and Christmas
Craws near, a lively demand is being made
upon the florists and nurserymen for the
products of their gardens aud hot houses.
The florists’ trade is not as important in
Savannah as it is in cities of the same size
further north, on account of the open win
ters here aud the large numbers of people
who raise their own flowers. Almost any
one who has a small space of ground to
devote to the purpose can, with
the aid of a cheaply constructed hot-house
or pit, grow flowers throughout tho winter.
Many varieties of flowers and shrubs thrive
m the open air, with a little protection dur
ing extremely cold weather.
Flowers for decorative purposes aro more
prized in the north than tho south, because
of the contrast they present to the wintry
appearance of things, while here the trees
and shrubs hardly lose their green during
the winter, and a littlo warm spell gives
everything a spring-like appearance.
Quantities of beautiful flowers are raised
iu Savannah for sale, however. Early
camellias, winter lose*.hyacinths, tulips aDd
violets find a read} - sale during the winter
months, especially during tho holidays. The
white camellia is a very popular flower in
savannah, and the florists seem to have a
good stock of them on hand. They bring
10 cents apiece. Tho delicate white velvety
buds are the admiration of the northern
visitors.
The winter roses are blooming beautifully
now. The varieties offered are the brides,
pearls, Catharine Slerrnets and Marechal
f'cils. Hyacinths and tulips are making
thetr appearance, and the flosists say they
plentiful by Christmas.
” hilo there is comparatively little deco
rating of dwellings iu Savanuah during the
Christmas times, the florists havo quite a
uetnand for flowers for weddings, calls,
Parties and entertainments of various kinds.
Savannah florists ship large quantities of
ong needled pines, palms, grasses aud Span
“ 7 moss to the northern cities during the
Wjuter, the heaviest shinments being for tho
Christmas trade, of course, Tbere is a good
™mand for these things, and the trade is a
cry pr Stable one. Cedar, holly, mistletoe
had other evergreens grow iu quantities
here, but there is no demand for them, as
l! '7 grow fully as well at the north.
the long needled pine is a great favorite
with the children np north for a Christmas
•re. Some flowers, mostly camellias, are
“hipped north, but not in any quantity.
A florist said to a Mousing News re
porter that the florist business in Savannah
is a growing one, both for home consump

The entire imports bv rail and by water are
reported to have bee i but 52d,833 tons, an
incredibly small quantity.
An agreement has lieea arrived at by
managers of western roads in relation to
free transportation for IS9I. It provides
that no passes of any kind shall be issued to
shippers or to any persm to influence
traffic. Passes can be issued only to officials
and employes of the railroads, and on ac
count of advertising, and also to politicians
within the state.
The_ following order, just issued by Sec
ond Vice President Thomas of the Erie,
will no doubt be hailed with satisfaction by
all of the men concerned: “Any conductor,
engineer, fireman, brakeman or other train
hand, who is laid off for any cause, pending
an investigation, and upon that investiga
tion is declared to be in no way to blame
for the chat go on which he is suspended,
shall receive full pay for the time lost and
be reinstated."

Within a few days a street car propelled
bv eighty-four chemical electrical batteries,
claimed to be sufficient for running it
twenty-five miles without renewal of tho
chemicals, has beeu put in experimental
service on the North Chicago railway, anil
high hopes are entertained of the results by
the promoters. A speed of from twelve to
fifteen miles an hour is asserted to be possi

The Mexican railroads will send delegates
to the meeting of the Central Traffic As
sociation iu Chicago to urge the right of
making excursion rates from Mexico to
cities in the Central Association’s territory.
The association has been making reduced
rates from points in its territory so points
in Mexico over the Mexican roads, and the
managers of the latter roads think that it
is only fair to be allowed the same privilege
of making rates from Moxicati points to
points in the Central Traffic Association’s
territory.
A branch of the National Railway Station
Agents 1 Association was organized in
Mobile last waek. R. C. Watkins of Corsi
cana, Tex., general solicitor of the order,
was present and explained tho objects of the
order. The organization was effected by the
election of the following officers: Earle Ma
cartney, local agent of the Louisville and
Nashville, president; C. H. Lavendt, agont
of the East Tennesseo, Virginia and Georgia
at Selma, first vice president; George M.
Owen, local agent of the Mobile and Bir

with a membership of forty.
The Iron Trade Review is authority for
this: “Anew locomotive, built in the shops
of the Northern railroad, has just been tried
at a high speed, with a special train of six
teen carriages, having a total weight of
COT,BOO pounds. Lead bars were put in tho
carriages to represent the average weight
of passengers, etc., carried on an express
train. This train ran from Paris to Calais
by the direct line, a distance of
184.50 miles, in -three hours and
flfty-six minutes. Two stops were
made, one of five minutes at Amiens,
the other two minutes at Ab
beyvilie. The average speed, making no
allowance for stops, was 47.53 miles an
hour. The run from Paris to Amiens was
made at the rate of 51.58 miles an hour, the
tram going up tho Servilliers grade—o.s
per cent., 11.19 miles long—at the rate of
46.6 miles an hour. On the return trip an
other carriage was added, making seven
teen in ail. From Calais to Lille the aver
age spe-d was 49.7 miles an hour, the high
est speed 59 mile*. Between Lille and Paris
the speed about tho same, but a speed of
71.46 miles an hour was reached in going
down the Servilliers grade.
The Waycross Reporter says: Work com
menced at St. Marys last week on the Way
cross Air Line railroad, Mr. Willis having
been awarded the contract for opening
right of way and grading the first live miles
of the road. For awhile the work will be
carried on on a small scale, and will neces
sarily progress slowly, but the management
hopes ere long to *be in a position to
increase and push the work. Some
work is still being done on th 9 Cor
dele extension, and that will be continued.
The city council of Waycross granted the
Air Line company, at its regular monthly
meeting last week, the right to run its line
tlirougn the city along a line running
around by Lott’s old mill pond and Tebeau
branch, through Butler or Pond street, or
around the western portion of the city
beyond old 9, for the purpose of connecting
the Cordele and St. Marys extensions, unless
suitable ari aueenjents shall be made with
the Brunswick and Western and Savannah,
Florida and Western for the use of their
tracks through the city and to connect with
their passenger depots, which we think
would be to tbe interest of ail parties, aud
hope will be done. Capt. Johnson and Cos!.
Sweat, and those ass. ciated with them,
seem determined to yet make a success of
t’ae Waycross Air Line, and should receive
all necessary encouragement from Way
cross, for nothing will benefit us so much as
the completion of this enterprise.
In the course of a long article, the Finan
cial Chronicle makes the comparative
stafement of trunk line earnings for the years
ending Sept. 30:
Year. Gross. Net.
1978 $110,458,292 $13,616,370
1879. 134,144,655 56,934,859
1830 139,240.219 53,484,431
1981 189.152,307 60.838,487
1882 152,717,243 58,189,380
1883 112,637,073 50.552,871
1884 127.654.896 40,052,945
1883 142,093.929 60,799.413
1886 1.59,440,389 56,118.773
1887 161,952,935 53,399,116
1888 166.704.8:36 54,168.532
1889 181,611,083 50.559.240
Tha most noteworthy feature in this ex
exhibit, next to the gain in gross receipts,
ia the lack of growth in the net earnings.
There is, of course, very decided improve
ment as compared with the very had year
1884, bvt otherwise there is very little of a
flattering nature in the comparison of the
net. In the late year gross earnings in
creased $16,000,000 over tne year preceding,
as already stated; the net increased less
than $2,600,000. If we compare with 1887
we find an increase of $22,000,000 in gross,
but less than $300,000 increase in net. But
the most striking result is reached when we
compare with 1879 —just a decade ago. In
that year gross was only $184,000,000, whiio
now it Is $181,000,000, or $47,000,000 larger.
But with this $47,000,000 added to gross
receipts, net earnings are actually less than
at that time ($375,1)00 less). In other words,
with over one-third more gross earnings
than ten years ago, there is not quite so
muoh net.
The London Daihj New* prints some
curious statistics of international railway
speed, and the figures are in some respects
surprising, it says: “The Americans, as
u go-ahead people, carry ttieir national
characteristic* into the pace of tbeir loco
motives, which probably, on occasions, are
the fastest on record. Their ordinary rate
is forty-two mill 1 * an hour, but the po" nr
ot making up for lost time is for the dis
cretion ortho driver (engineer), and, under
favorable otroiinstances, be bos been
known to push to sevuutv miles an hour.
Our own trains are a good second. Average
express speed—if the term be allowable -is
atmut the same as the American, but, when
the spur Is applied, tlwv pats a mile a min
ute, and have reached cutty miles au hour,
TIIE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, DECEMBER 15. 1890.
or even more. This rate is also oc
casionally obtained on the hoe between
Paris and Calais, but generally on the
French lines speed is limited, not by the
cap city of the engiue, bat is the subject ot
state ordinance. The maximum is fixed
differently for different lines. The P. L.
M., for instance, are limited to fifty-five
mile* an hour ns a maximum. The Ger
mans are economical of speed. Forty miles
an hour would be express anti very Jrapid,
and under r.o conditions are they allowed to
exceed fifty-five. In Russia the sreed is
also laid down arbitrarily, and the only
valuation is that the driver is permitted to
increase tho ordinary speed by an accelera
tion of 10 per cent; in case of an emergency.
The same rule holds good on the railway
systems of Austria and Hungary. The
Italian maximum speed is fixed at fifty
miles an hour.”
COLORED BAPTIST SQUABBLES.
Tho Members of the First Bryan
Church Badly Divided.
The troubles of the colored Baptists seem
to be epidemic. Just as the congregation of
the Second African church was about to
settle its difficulties a schism broke oat
among the members of the First church.
The pastors in both instances wore the bone
of contention. Rev. Griffin has been acting
os pastor sine* the death of R-v. U. L. Hous
ton, and f r some time a feeling of dis-atis
faclion has been growing again* him, and a
few days ago two sisters had a wool-pulling
match over tho merits and demerits of the
pastor.
Sunday, Dec. 7, a meeting was called for
the purpose of selecting a pastor, and after
a great deal of excitement and amid much
coufusion Rev. Griffin was declared elected
to tho pastorate.
The opposition, however, was not satisfied
with the result, and gave vent to its feelings
by publishing the card in yesterday’s Mous
ing Nkws, in which it dubbed Rev. Griffin
as a usurper and cheap assistant, and denied
tho legality of his election.
Trouble was expected at yesterday's
services, hut everything passed off peace
ably, and Rev. Griffin still holds tho fort.
