Till* Bark a Tqtnl Wreck on Wolf
Island Simula.
Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 21.—Vice Consul
Rosenda Terras reports that the Portu
gese bark Isabel, ashore on Wolf Island
ehoals Is a total wreck. She was consign
ed to A. E. Moynelo & Cos. of Savannah
and Brunswick. Strong tides, heavy
winds and treacherous water caused the
disaster. One-half of the crew are now at
Darien and the other are working on the
wreck trying to save some of the equip
ments. The Isabel is but another ves
sel which has of late met a similar fate
at the place named. It Is twenty miles
from Brunswick and the most treacherous
spot on the South Atlantic cohsl. Con
gressman Brantley is now trying to se
cure a lightship for the bend and thus
prevent futures disasters of the kind.
MR. YOI AG'S PERFORM A ACES.
“David Garrick" n To-day's Matinee
and "Hamlet'' To-night.
Mr. James Young gave a most excellent
anti entertaining performance of "David
Garrick" at the thean r last night, keeping
the audience interested In his bright rendi
tion throughout.
Mr. Y'oung has appeared to Savannah
audiences before, and with many theater
goers he is a favorite. He mut made a
reputation in the character of David Gar
rick, as well as in that of Hamlet, in which
he will appear to-night.
-Mr. Y'oung has surrounde himself by an
excellent company, among whom are Mr.
William Bokea.who appeared in Savannah
about fifty years ago in a play with 'he
father of the late Charles F. Crisp. Mr.
Bokea look the difficult and Interesting
part of "Mr. Smith." Mr. Charles Pier
son' and Mr. Elmer Buffham were very
clever in their parts, and Miss Rida Louise
Johnson gave an excellent presentation of
the character of Ada Ingot.
Mr. Y’oung's "Hamlet" and his "David
Garrick." it is said, are equally good. To
day-Savannah thAter-goers will have the
opportunity of seeing him in both these
parts. At the matinee he will present Da
vid Garrick again, and to-night he will
appear in ‘'Hamlet."
Mr. Y'oung visited the High School yes
terday and gave an entertaining talk on
Shakespeare to the pupils. Mr. Ybung is
a thorough' Shakesperean scholar. He has
recently delivered a number of interest
ing lectures on the drama and has ac
quired a reputation on the platform as
well as on the stage*
Theater goers who enjoy a finished per
formance of "David Garrick" und "Ham
let” will not be disappointed In Mr. Y’oung.
His motto is "Have No Half Dealings
YVith Thine Art”and his acting shows that
he is a master of the stage. Few better
actors tire seen on the Savannah stage.
To-morrow night James A. Hearne and
his company of players will be seen in
"Shore Acres,” This will undoubtedly be
one of the events of the season. The play
is one of the few which can be seep with
renewed pleasure many times, and the
story, if not exactly unconventional, is
told in n manner that gives it every ele
ment of interest and charm. The char
acters are those of common, every-day
people in the little New England village,
and the scenes are laid in and about an
unpretent.ous farm house on the Maine
coast. Those who once see the play, how
ever, will never forget dear old self-sac
rificing Uncle Nat, talkative Ma
with her "I say,” bashful little Mandyl
Gates, or any of the i>ersons who appear
in the absorbing history of real life which
Mr. Herne has writterß with such perfect
fidelity. The love story in "Shore Acres"
is not exaggerated or made ridiculous, nor
does it dominate the- play, but Ih only one
of the incidents employ oil in the evolution
of the plot. Among the players who ap
pear with Mr. Herne are Messrs. Robert
Fischer, James T. Galloway, Franklin
Oarlan.l, Herbert Flansburgh, J. J. Ash
ton, James V. Dailey, Allen Crolius, Al
bert R. Clark and Misses Grace Gay lor
Clark, Marion Cullon, Myra Clark, I.ucilc
Walker, Mattie Crohue, Hazel K.’ Clark,
Gladys Crolius, Edith Taliaferro and Miss
Julie A. Herne, the actor-dramatist's old
est daughter.
Thursday night "Courted Into Court"
will be seen for the first time in Savan
nah. It is one of the plays of the day.
A few of the fetching things promised
in it are numerous negro melodies of an
up-to-date character, wiih other songs,
which have not obtained up to the ’pres’
ent time in other companies visiting Sa
vannah. Unique specialties also punc
tuate the performance profusely.
The New York Herald prints this story
ol Miss Charlotte Crane, who was here in
December with Hoyt's “A Stranger in
New York:”
“Miss Crane is one of the leading
actresses In “A Stranger in New York”
Company. She Is further known to fume
as the young woman who was snubbed but
not crushed, subdued but not conquered,
by the “bong tong” of Charleston, S C„
at a ball given there last Christmas night
A young navy officer had invited her to
Ihe affair, and the upper classes of the
Carolinian town proceeded to metaphori
cally "sit upon" the young lieutenant's
pretty companion because she was an
actress.
"Miss Crane survived the shook, and
later, when her company reached Hot
Springs, Ark., the United States officers
Stationed there rallied around Miss Crane
and gave her a grand ball by wav of en
dorsing their brother officer's good taste,
and letting the young lady know that she
had Ihe army as well as the navy bohind
her. This, by way of prologue. Now for
Act I. and last.
“Yliss Crane walked inlo a telegraph sta
tion and interrupted the tele
graph agent, who was flirting over ihe

YACHT CM U - S RILES.
—-i-£
Many \iueni(nrnta to the Cnnutitn
' lion. rind H)-Lan't Adflpteil,
The board of stewards of the> Savannah
Yacht Club, last September, appointed a
committee composed of Vice Cpmmo-iore
W. W. Starr, Messrs. Besjiett,
James M. Dixon and Albert AVylly of the
of stewards, and E. L. Hackett, W.
N. Beckett and B. S. Stoddard of ihe
membership at large, to prepare amend
ments to the constitution, by-laws and
sailing regulations of tije club, and to co
dify ami raiments made 4ißfeifr>3. when the
last book was issued. The committee re
ported to the board, and it recommended
to the club the adoption of the amend
ments.
At a club meeting held on the Bth in3t.,
the amendments recommended by ti e
stewards were unanimously adopted, and
yesterday, at another meeting held for the
purpose at the club house, they were con
firmed, as required by the constitution.
The following is a synoi*is of the im
portant amendments to the constitution:
To Article 11, providing that the three
principal officers—commodore, vice commo
dore and Year commodore, be ex-officio
members of the board of stewards, but
that neither of them shall be eligible to
election as chairman of the board.
To Article VII—All bills against the club
must be regularly passed by the board be
fore payment shall be made.
Article VIII—A majority of the boat'd
present In the city of Savannah shall con
stitute a quorum, but in no event shall
the quorum consist of less than five.
The board of stewards shall constitute a
court for the trial of mem
bers, charged with violation
of the rules and regulations, and
as such be empowered to prescribepenal
tles therefor, as set forth in the by-laws.
Many minor amendments to the by-laws
were adopted. The rules relating to guests
were changed in several Important partic
ulars. It is provided that no resident of
Chatham county shall be granted the priv
ileges of the club house more than, three
times during any club year, and then only
when accompanied by a member.
Neither ladies nor minors, other than
those belonging to the family of a mem
ber, or accompanying a non-resident invit
ed guest, shall be permitted to visit the
club house, unless when in company with
n member, or one of his family, who Is en
titled to the privilege.
The superintendent of the club house is
specially charged with the duty of report
ing any violation of these regulations to
the board of stewards through the house
committee, in order that steps may be tak
en to prevent a recurrence. It is also pro
vided that the sections shall be conspic
uously posted in appropriate places on the
premises.
The sailing regulations contain numer
ous important amendments. Entries for
a regatta must be made at or before 12
o’clock on the day preceding the race, and
must set out the style of boat, length and
other facts essential to her proper classifi
cation according to the rules laid down:
Class 1, cabin yachts, 27 feet and over.
Class 2, cabin yachts, under 27 feet.
Class 3, open yachts.
The board of stewards is authorized to
make special classes for any race, and
offer prizes to l)e sailed for.
In order to meet a difficulty that has pre
sented itself several times in the past, it
is provided that a temporary cabin, placed
on an open boat, shall not entitle her to
entry in either class of cabin boats.
The rights and privileges of yachts en
gaged in a race, are more clearly defined
In the amended sailing regulations, than
in those hitherto in force, and it is pro
vided that if a violation of any rule Is re
ported to the sailing committee, such re
port cannot be withdrawn by the person
making the charge, but must be investi
gated and decided by the sailing commit
tee.
One amendment incorporated in the snil-
Jng regulations is of great importance.
It provides that If, during a regatta, a
member of the crew of a yadht should fall
overboard, and it appears that any ether
yacht, by reason of rendering assistance,
was thereby prevented from winning a
race, the sailing committee shall have (low
er to order It resailed between such yacht
or yachts rendering assistance, and the ac
tual winner. Hitherto this rule did not
exist, hen,ce if, to save life, the winning
yacht should turn from her course, she
would necessarily lose the victory within
her grasp. It Is considered that this
amendment is a humane one.
The revised constitution, by-laws and
sailing regulations, with a list of mem
bers to date, will be printed by the Morn
ing News at once, and the book will be
ready for delivery at the annual meeting
of the Yacht Club, March 2.

Jan, 16 in which he charges the marine
hospital service with discriminating
against Savannah, by ordering consuls to
direct vessels with clean bills of health,
bound for Savannah, to proceed via this
station. The marine hospital service is
not, and never has been at fault in this
mn tter.”
It seems to have bean a fact that prior
to Dec. 13. vessels from Rio Janeiro to Sa
vannah were occasionally directed by the
consul at Rio to stop at Sapelo for
Inspection and disinfection, if necessary.
Dr. Geddings called the attention of the
surveyor general to the matter with the
recommendation that action by the con
sul at Rio, being unnecessary and
entailing delay and expense, should be dis
continued. The surgeon general at once
took the matter up with the state depart
ment, which notified the consul at Rio, on
Dec H, that the quarantine regulations of
the I’nlted States do not provide for con
suls to direct vessels to proceed to. quar
antine stations.
