Americas is makingatrenuous efforts to

size and importance of this little South

good hotel, end we hope Brother Glessncr,

this direction until he succeeds in the
enterprise.—AugustaNews.
The Recobdeb never lets up on any
enterprise it advocates until it is accom

be able to invite the editors of the News
to be present at the opening of one of
the handsomest hotels in Southwest Geor

Reese and Capt. J. H. Shaffer, which has.
been on the tapis for so long, came off
last Wednesday afternoon in Magnolia
Dell, being witnessed by about 200 peo
ple, many of whom were officers of the
military companies In Albany and Mon
tezuma.
The betUng was heavily in favor of
Beese, though there was little money 'up
on the two gentlemen. The most of the
betting was done on possible scores, and
qnite a luge amount changed hands in
that way. Few sportsmen were risky
enough to back their belief that a score
of 125 out of a possible 200 would be
made, but where one was found he would
bet heavily upon it.
Tbo weather clerk was in a changeable
mood on Wednesday, and it was not until
2 o’clock that it was decided that the
match would eome off. At 4 p. m. the
contestants drove down, attended by their
friends, Lieut. W. M. Jones was scorer
and marker for Capt. Shaffer, while Mr.
Jaok Walker looked after Mr. Reese's in
terests in that line. When the markers
were ready, a few minutes after4,the sig
nal waB given, and Capt. Shaffer advanced,
took his position, and fired the first shot,
scoring a 4.
, The target was n creed moot, distance
200 yards. Bothgentlemen used military
rifles, though of different patterns. Mr.
Reese used a rifle from Savannah, which
is said to have won more prizes than any
gun in the stale. He evidently held the
gnn up to more than its average. Capt.
Shaffer had just got out of his room from
a severe attaok of illness, and it is no
donbt on that account that his score was
so small.

Th# Tableaux Entertalament.
The entertainment of illlnminated tab*
leaux given by the members of the Pres*
byterian Sunday School at the Opera
House on Wednesday night was, all
things, considered, a success. Despite
the faot of unfavorable weather and a
postponment, thoro was a very fair audi
ence, who seemed well pleased with the
entertainment. A pleasant feature of the
evening was the marching in, to the tap
of the drum, of the Rroom Brigade arm
ed and equipped. They made a pretty
sight, and created a decided sensation.
Of the features of the entertainment we
feel a delicacy in speaking, as the Re
corder family all took a part, in th6
tableau of "Pocahontas," Bliss Katie
Wheatley made as pretty an Indian
Maiden as ever pleaded for a man’s life.
The use of the bicycle as a steed in an
elopement, in "Young Lochiuvur,” was a
novel and modern idea,and Master Brown
Bnrkbalter and Miss Flora Wheatley aot-
ed woll thoir parts, while the loading of
Mrs. Pickett added interest to the scene.
"Night and Morning" were well repres
ented by Miss Cora Prince and Mrs. H. C.
Storey, and made a handsome picture,
Miea Ella Oliver os "Evangeline" woe
perfeot in her character and was deserv
edly encored. "Joan of Arc" was splen
didly represented by Miss Blanche Brown
and we did not wonder that the piece
was called for a second time. "In Memo-
riam" represented a Confederate solders’
monument, surmounted by the figure of
a soldier standing with his gun at parade
rest, and waa the orowning feature of the
entertainment. Mr. John Wheatley made
• capital statue, looking every inoh a
soldier, and was so dressed as to look ns
if carved ont of marble. Around the base
of,tlp monument knelt a group of little
girls dressed in white. The highest
compliment paid to this piece was
that it resembled the Confederate mona
ment in Macon. Of course it wos en
cored. Bliss Rosa Haynes added much
to the entertainment by her music be
tween the tableaux. The members of
the Sunday 8chool return thanks for the
pafronsgs extended to them, and also to
Mr. Glover for his kindness in giving the
Opera House at a nominal sum.

the street is what some one's favorite made
the previous night, but as the rtoorde
have been kept secret, very little satisfac
tion Is obtained.
As over twenty men had entered and
the track not being large enough to ac
commodate over 12, the managers decided
to walk them in squads, night after night,
until all had walked, and then take the
starterts in the match from the twelve
first men, cr aa many aa they decide the
track will accommodate. As might be
expeoted, several never finished the two
hours on the first night, and several more
dropped out the second. In order to
protect the walkers from having their
time known in the two hours practice,
all visitors were excluded and the record
kept only by the managers, each man’s
time being given to him separately when
he had finished.
Last night the last squad walked their
two hours, finishing at 10 o'clook. The
managers immediately compared all the
records, and seleoted the first twelve of
the list below for the walkers at the match.
Each man’s record for the two hours is
placed opposite bis name. Following is
the list.

private prizes will be given, but as the
