The Maris curated the Dragoon in the eecond race y*xterday afternoon, winning the cup from the Savannah Yacht Club. The race was o much prettier one than that of the before, nn<l the Dragoon showed up coiiti'lrrably better. The fol lowing is the sommary of the time by the two boats: *, , ' . Dragoon entwed the lino nt the etnrt 1:07:11. Maris at 1:0SJ15, Her real start was at f:C£:08, but, bci*g more than two minutes after the starling blast, which pounded Bt 1:06:15, I:08:V5 was her real time, and she w'as thereby handicappe d 53 seconds in addition to the time allowance given the Dragoon, which was 4 minutes, 13Va sec onds. Maris rounded the Cabbage Island stake boat at 3:01:30. Dragoon rounded nt 3:04:50. (Maris rounded the Joe’s Cut etakeboat at 3:35:08. Dragoon rounded at 3:20:35. Maris rounded the Cabbage Island stake boat again, at 3:56. Dragoon rounded at 4:05:20. Maria crossed the line at the finish r.t 4:56:45. Dragoon crossed at 5:05:57.

Dragoon’s corrected time, 3 hours, 51 minutes and 31*3 seconds. Maris beat the Dragoon G minutce, 3." j seconds, corrected time. Closer Than on First Hare, The tbrreeted time by which the Maris beat the Dragoon day before was 7 minutes, 66% seconds. As the beat yesterday was only by 6 minutes, 1% sec onds. the Dragoon sailed a hotter race by 1 minute and 55 seconds than on the day beforehand the hearts of Savannah en thusiasts. since their boat could not wrest victory from the contest, wire cheered to that extent. On the whole, the day was better for rac ing. For a short while there was but very little wind, but during most of the race there was a good, stiff breeze that ca reened the yachts and sent them flying on their mission. There wore more interest ing features than the day before. For one thing, admirers of the Dragoon had a chanea to see her in the b ad for once, as she got away before the Marls and maintained her advantage for a mile or more. A far smaller crowd witnessed the race. The defeat had apparently allayed the en thusiasm of Savannahians to n wonderful extent, and the flotilla that followed the racers embraced not oik half the boats that were out the day before. As on the first day theweath<y was threatening, and rain seemed imminent before the race. As on the day before, the Dragoon left the Yacht Club under her own sail f< r the starting line, three miles down W il mington river. The Maris followed under tow* of the Winona, the naphtha auxiliary yacht. About the same time the majority of the sailboats that were to follow the racers got away, leaving the steamers to come later. The Clifton was the Yacht Club’s steam er for the day, and a number of its guests were aboard. Col, Merritt XV. Dixon, chairman of the Regatta Committee, was in charge, and a band of music contrib uted to the pleasure of the party. On the way from the city the Clifton got stuck in the mud in Wilmington river and hod to wait for the tide to float her off, but t?he was on hand for the start of the racers t The Alpha was run as an excur sion steamer, but did not have very many aboard. The buoy tender Wistaria also followed the race, having a number of invited guests aboard. Through the courtesy of Capt. C. K. Gillette, government steamer Analer was placed ax the disposal of the Sailing Committee for the day. Aboard her were Chairman Frank Jones, Mr. Frank Lathrop and Mr. H. D. Stevens of the Sailing Committee, Mr. W, D. Simkins, Mr. G. Noble Jones, Col. T. S. Wylly and Mr. Rittenhouse Moore, timekeepers; Judge A. H. MaoDonell, Commodore Hughes of the Carolina Yacht Club and a representative of the Morning News. At about 12:30 the Angler left the Yacht Club, the race being scheduled to start at 1 o’clock. Not long after the arrival at the starling point off Turner’s Rock, where the rival yachts were discovered under sail, the preparatory blast from the Angler’s whistle was sound* and, and the boats began their jockeying for u- position and the start. Dragoon Oil! First, The signal for the start was sounded at 1:06:15, and ttt 1:07:11 the Dragoon got across the line in just about such a breeze as the start was made the day be fore. The Maris had trouble In following, having, apparently, miscalculated the five minutes allowed. She could noDget across within the two minutes, and tire 53 sec onds lost were charged against her. Beating along In the teeth of the wind, the boats both adopted the plan of short tacks in order to keep away from the wooded shore of YVilmlngton Island. Tack after tack was watched, and it seemed that the Dragoon was pointing consider ably better titan the day before. Her speed, though, was not enough to keep her away from the Marls, and, white on the port tack, the Dragoon passed Just astern of the Charleston b at. The Dra goon had not maintained her lead for long, but while she had it, interest itt tlie race was increased. The wind continued hrirk all the way to the Cabbage Island etakeboat. which the Maris rounded 3 minutes ami 20 seconds ahead of the Dragoon Th< Dragoot had made a gain of 40 seconds over tlie run down of tlie day before. Then both boats gi t their balk on Jlba out and i down their main jibs. Ruin foil s: , lily ■ all th. way to thi Cut ' which v, .ii i utes and 27 seconds ahead of the Dra goon. which lost 1 minute and 7 .. , .. t , on the stretch, against X minute an l aeconds before. On the run back to tlie Cabbage Island siakeboat the Dragoon lost heavily, tie wind having died away almost < onipb ( 1\ She rounded the boat 9 minutes and 2) seconds after the Marls, having lost 6 minutes and 13 seconds. The day before she had lost also, hut this proved the critical point In yesterday's rare, and. bad the Dragoon sailed the stretch as well as the Marts, she would have won. Then started the rare homeward. The Marla led after rounding Ihe boat, and her pace killed the hopes of the Dragoon's admirers. Who did not expect their boat ta ahftw. the speed she. developed. The racers broke out their spinnakers ar.d had all sail flying, and the run home was fast. The Maris made it in one hour and 45 seconds, and the Dragoon in one hour | and 37 seconds, gaining on the run, bcat- I ing the Maris eight seconds. This was I largely due to the fact that the wind, which was over the quarter, freshened greatly, and the rear boat brought it up with her. Finished Amid Applause, It was amid compliments of whistles and cheers that the Maris crossed the line, and then tlie Dragoon was watched. She was pushed along by the breeze that she was bringing with her, and it seemed pretty sure that she would not be beaten as badly as eome of the Charlestonians had bet. It was o foregone conclusion that the Maris would w in the race, and It was only on the time that any betting to speak of was done. She came faster than had the Maris, and as she drew near the line, it became apparent to those on board the judges’ boat that the time by which the race of the day before had been won would be decreased. The event proved the truth of this. After the Dragoon crossed all the craft headed for the Yacht Club, where the chal lenge cup, which had been held for two years by the Savannah Yacht Club, was pre seated by Commodore W. W. Starr to Commodore Hughes of the Carolina Yacht Club. Commodore Starr said the race had been fairly won and spoke of the pleasure it had given tho members of the flub to have the Charleston ians among them. Commodore Hughes responded gracefully, saying the conduct of the Savannahians had been sportsmanlike, and that he hoped to see them in Charleston next summer with a boat that would force, the Carolina Yacht Club to strain every nerve to beat. With cheers for the Maris and Charleston, the crowd ratified the presentation of the cup and ar < • pted the victory of the Charles ton boat. Many comments were made upon the excellent manner in which the races had been managed. To the Sailing Committee thi# success was largely due. and the thanks of the club are extended the gen tl< men. Most of tho Charlestonians will get away to-day. As there are to be no more •r ‘ ts, interest for them has departed. Tho Maris and the other yachts will leave to-day or within a few days. The stay of the Charlestonians has been enjoyed by Savannahians, even, though the Maris defeated the Dragoon. GEORGIA'S M’-GRO BAPTISTS. Question? Rl.setisscd In Their Stnto (dii vent lon. The Georgia Baptist State Convention ; wound up its third flays’ session at *0:30 i o'clock last night. The sessions have all | been orderly and intelligent and signs of progress have been seen. The influence of Rev. K. K. Love, who was for many years pastor of the cliruch in which the session, are held, is apparent, and his successor, JRev. C. S. Wilkins, B. D., of Augusta, endeavored to carry out his plans and policies. Upon the death of Rev. Love Rev. Wilkins became presi dent, and consequently the acknowledged leader of the negro Baptist family; and, notwithstanding ambition for promotion is not a lost art in such conventions, the delegation suppressed every selfishness, and voted unanimously to keep their new president and leader and his entire cab inet, together with the board of directors, in power and authority for another year. The delegation to the convention is large and interest in its w-ork unabating. It represents tho industrious, credulous, self-reliant, self-assertive element of the negro Baptist family in Georgia—the type of negro who believes that his race has ability to do something for itself. The one prevalent idea in the convention is that the kind of co-operation which the negro Baptistts receive from Northern white societies is more injurious than helpful to the negroes, in that the power and authority for directing missionaries and operating educational institutions among them, reside, by the terms of co operation. with the white society. Another view taken by the convention is that since the negro cannot control and manage the institutions of learning that his Northern white brethren have established for him, and, that, since ne- I tiroes will never learn to control educa | tional institutions unless an opportunity is afforded them to experiment, it wore j infinitely wi&er and better for them to leave the management of the schools built I by the Northern institutions to these in -1 stitutions, and to utilize and engage their , forces in building educational institutions 1 which the negroes can manage. • * r-* ' ' • ' - - Tlie convent on 1? partial to the manner in which the Southern white people make contributions to the missionary and (du rational work amon#? tho negroes; in mon ey for their churches, schools and other helpful institutions and that they confide in the judgment, discretion, integrity and ability of the negro to make the wisest and most judicious disbursement of the contributions thus made, not in any ease appointing another white man to super intend the distribution of their gifts. That the determination to equip and manage, some of the educational institutions, is neither visionary nor spasmodic, is evi denced by the fact that the convention has bought a lot, in Macon, upon which it has erected a SIO,OOO building, known and designated as “the Central City Col lege.” with a large campus for industrial purposes, and under the proficient man agement of Prof. W. E. Holmes, a classi cal graduate of Atlanta Baptist College, and a full-fledged member of the faculty of that institution for sixteen years, has recently closed its first year’s work with a commendable success. The further fact that $1,500 has been raised at this session of the convention for the work at Macon during the approaching college year, sup plementing $3,000, which It has raised for the same institution since October, 3899, to the present meeting. Yesterday’s session w*as given lo womc n. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev. N. IS. McCall Dublin, on “Christ the Way.” l The welcome ad dress by C. A. Love, was well delivered | and equally well responded to by Mrs. Gar ; nett of Brunswick. The resolution on the death of Nellie L. Cook, president oX the Woman’s Convention, showed the high esteem in which the deceased was held by her associates. The foreign missionary i secretary of national fame gave a talk on “Mission.” At the second day’s session, upon the introduction of visitors, it developed that lhere, were several co-operative agents present, among them President George Sale of the Atlanta "Baptist College; Dr. C S. Brown, special agent >t’ th© Ameri j can Baptist Homo Missionary Society; ! Rev. E. F. Johnson, General Educational ! missionary under the board. Besides these j were the representatives of negro ability, ' Rev. It. H. Boyd, secretary of the Negro National Baptist publishing board; Rev. L. T. Jordan, secretary of foreign mis ; sions. and Rev. K. W. D. Isaacs, secretary if th© National Baptist Young People’© V nion. I’tvsident Bale made some statements of his work. President Holmes interrogated him and many things were aired. Presi dent Sale declared that be would vout’h for tin work done at the Central City Col lege by its president, and Prof. Nnbrit. Hr. Brown presented his theme. He is r< tutor of anecdotes. A cat. he remarked, was own* and by a boy and Ids mother, the former owning the tail. She stood on it and the cot squealed. In this condition he pictured the negro and the North. Dr. Boyd spoke in a timely manner of the unfair treatment of negro**? North, and ably d* fended negro enterprise. Rev. Isaacs dl- ected ©very argument of tho -pecial agent. At ihe close the cat, tail and all, bv common consent, was the ne gro*? to own. control and wag. rather than squeal as heretofore, his condition of ab solute dependence has caused him to do. Prof. M. W. Reddick of Americas made a timely talk. 1 Tetter—C are, No I’ny, Your druggist will refund your money tf rozo Ointment lulls to cure you* 60c. r-Md? *~ * -**' if m .4 r** v THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, JUNE 0, 1900. T. F. JOHNSON FOR CONGRESS. WILL OPPOSE POL. LESTER OX THE REPI BLIC AN TICKET. HI? Nomination by the Committee Named nt the District Conven tion In Febrnary Likely to Com plicate the Situation In the Re publican Fold—He way? lie Will Make the Rare—lll? Letter of Ac ceptance Forthcoming. Kx-Collector of Customs Tomlinson F. Johnson has been named as a Republican candidate for Congress from the First Congressional District. The nomination was made yesterday afternoon by the committee of five appointed at the Dis trict Convention, in which the Boyle wing of the party predominated, held Feb. 13 to take under consideration the selection of a candidate for Congress, with author ity to make the nomination. Tho committee met in the office of the chairman, Lawyer J imes H. Kinckle, the other members being James M. Ferrebee, secretary; 11. H. Bourke, F. R. Sims and J. E. Warren. Mr. Johnson’s name was tho only one under consideration and a committee was appointed to no ify him of his nomination and escort him to the meeting. This was done and ho ihe nomination verbally, stating that he would give a. reply in writing at a later date. \Vh< n seen last night Mr. Johns n said he had accepted the nomination and in tended making the race. There are few men in Savannah belter known than Mr. Johnson. As the son of the late Gov. Ilerschel V. Johnson, he comes of dis tinguished ancestry. He became promi nent in politics shortly after the war. He was assistant postmaster for one term and was then appointed collector of eius toms for the port of phich posi tion he hold longer than any other occu pant of the office before or since, serving under Grant, llayes, Garfield, Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison. During Cleve land’s first term lie was succeeded by the late Capt. John F. Wheaton and under his second term by Mr. Bro k Beckwith. He was not nn applicant for the oilDr under I’resident McKinley. Notwithstanding his Republican politics Mr. Johnson has always been very popu lar with his fellow-citizens of Savannah, though how fir personal friendship will serve him in politics remains to be seen. His nomination will serve to complicate matters somewhat in the K-puMicun fold. *M r. Johns on’ nomination wa thing of a surprise to those not .in the inside of Republican politics. It was pretty generally supposed that ho had retired from the field of active campaign ing, and his re-entry i? likely to stir up matters somewhat among other sec tions of the party. He was not prepared last night to say just what his course will be, but it will be stated fully In his letter of acceptance of the nomination. WILL €4O TO N. 11. fc T. CO. Mr, W. F. McCauley Resigned From < lint hum Chink. Mr. W. F. McCauley will become cash ier of the Savannah Bank and Trust Company, July 3. to succeed the late W. G. Cann. Mr. McCauley has tendered his resignation as cashier of the Chatham Bank, and it will probably be acted upon at an early meeting of the directors. Mr. McCauley was prompted to accept i the position tendered him by the diree- j tors of the Savannah Bank and Trust j Company because he considered it a pro- j motion. For the last two and a half years he. has served the Chatham Bank faith fully and satisfactorily, and his relations with the directors and every on© connect ed with it have been pleasant, and agree able. Mr. McCauley is recognized ns one of Savannah’s best posted men on finance and financial matters, llis management of the affairs of th< Chatham Bank, as view ed by the. outside world, is shown by the price of its stock in the open market. It is understood to be settled that Mr. Barron Carter, at present assistant cash ier of the Chatham Bank, will be Mr. Mc- Cauley’s successor. Mr. Carter has been connected with the Chatham Bank for ten years, and is thoroughly posted on banking affairs. i WVS KX JE2PT VN( l \ Ills Reply to tlie Notification Com mittee of Senatorial Convention. Copt. J. Ferris Cann, the Democratic nomine© for the state Senate from this district, replied; yesterday to the letter of notification received by him from the committee appointed at the Senatorial Convention. The committee consisted of Messrs. W. L. Gig nil Hat, 31al H. Bacon and Henry E. Dreeson. In his letter of acceptance, after ex pressing his gratification and gratitude ot the terms of the letter, notifying him of his nomination by the convention, Capt. Cann 6ald: “I nm well aware that there will be many measures before the Legislature of great and far-reaching importance, and in the contemplation of them I only wish your choice could have fallen on abler shoulders; but, if I am to meet them, I can assure you they will be handled with all of the fidelity, ability and judgment with which 1 am endowed. My earnest hope is that when my term of office shall have ended, a thorough fulfillment of this purpose may meet the approval of all.” ITS CHARTER RENEWED.

Medical Society. The meeting of the Georgia Medical j Society last night is said to have been an interesting one. At least, it is known that there were some very Interesting questions to come and questions which j were likely to provoke hot debate. The meeting was largely attended, and con tinued in session for about two hours. Members who were interrogated after the meeting, however, said that the discussion had been of the most orderly character and that nothing out of the ordinary had ocurred. The questions which it is understood were to come before the meeting related to the professional conduct of two prom inent members, who were charged with violations of ethics, the matter, it is ! stated, relating to a patient who was op erated upon at one of he hospitals by the two physicians in question without the physician in charge of the hospital being taken into consultation. The question of the collection of arrears of dues was also said to be a serious source of contention, charges having been made that the members of the former St. James Dispensary were being discriminat ed against in this matter. The physicians against whom charges of unprofessional conduct were brought, are also under stood to be members of the Savannah Medical Society, a more recent organiza tion than the Georgia. The dissensions in the Georgia Medical Society, beginning with the formation of the St. James Dispensary, some time ago, and accentuated by the organization of the* Savannah Medical Society, and the more recent discussion of the hospital question before Council, with incidental developments following this discussion, have become so serious as to at times threaten the disruption of the society. The probabilities are that the latest clash has been only temporarily averted, and that there will be further developments. THE CIVIL DOCKET CALLED, .Inly and August tlie Superior Conrt AVI 11 Try Civil Cane*. The civil trial docket In the Superior Court was called by Judge Falllgant yes terday morning, most of the members of the local bar being in attendance during the time the docket was being, called. Cases were assigned that will consume the time of the court during most of the j month of July, and the entire month of August. Monday the court will take up the trial of criminal cases and the remainder of the present month, and the first week I in July will probably be consumed in this j wise. For the first week the criminal cases assigned are of no particular public in terest, the defendants being charged with minor burglaries and other crimes of the like character, serious enough In them selves, but unattended by any of the cir cumstances chat commend the stories of them to the people. “Hnnger In the Rent Jiflaeie,” Yet some people are never hungry.

HIM IX THE XKW CATHEDRAL The Fact That the Train Was Three Honrs Late Did Not Prevent-'' n Large Gathering—Add reases Made ly Father Bazin in Behalf of tlie Clergy oud Mr. P. J. O’Connor in Behalf of the Laity—The Pnme I Presented Quite a Handsome One. In Responding to the Address the l Bishop .Said He Had Become a Complete Convert to Savannah. Dismissed the Crowd With His Bless! ng. The Rt. Rev. Benjamin J. Keiley, Bishop of Savannah, returned to the city yesterday afternoon from Richmond, where his consecration as bishop took place last Sunday. The Bishop was re ceived with a hearty demonstration by the Catholics of the city, the enthusiasm of which was none the less because the train upon which he arrived was pome three hours late. The train was due at 4:15, city time. It was after 7 o’clock when it arrived. The Reception Committee gathered at the Bishop’s residence at 3:15 p. m., but when the members found that the train was greatly behind time, they dispersed, to meet again at 5:30 o’clock. The recep tion was scheduled to begin at 5 o’clock, and quite a large number of Catholics gathered at the Cathedral between the hours of 5 and 6 o’clock. They were dis appointed to find that the train was great ly behind time and that there seemed to be no certainty as to the time of its ar rival. Many went away to return again, while others waited tho Bishop’s arrival. It was the first time that many of those present had had the opportunity of view ing the handsome interior of the new Cathedral, and they found that this alone was worth Ihe visit. Shortly after the ringing of tho large new bell in the south tower of the Ca thedral announced that tlie Bishop had arrived and tho scattered crowds gath ered rapidly. The Reception Committee was nt the depot with carriages waiting to receive the Bishop. The committee consisted of the following gentlemen: Henry Blun, John Flannery, William Ke- > hoe. John Lyons, J. J. McDonough. Dan iel Hogan, J. E. Grady, Jeremiah Cronin, ; J. J. McGowan, P. Barrett, F. Hart, Thomas Nugent. Dr. M. F. Dunn. Hugh Logan, P. J. O’Connor, M. J. O’Leary, M. J. Barrett, Lawrence Kelly, C. L. Pren dergast, J. F. Brooks, J. It. Dillon, J. J. Horrlgan. The Catholic clergy of the city also ac companied the committee. In the first carriage were Bishop Keiley and Vicar General Bazin, accompanied by Capt. Henry Blun and Capt. John Flannery. The trip to the Cathedral was quickly made, the party being warmly received by the crowds gathered there. Disem barking at tho Bishop’s residence the party spent only sufficient time there to allow the Bishop to robe himself in his vestments. It was already growing late, and there being no lights in the Cathedral, tho re ception there Could wait but little longer. The crowd in the church gathered at the sanctuary, as it was announced that the Bishop and his party were coming. The members of the committee' come first and took seats which had been arranged for them in a semi-circle. A moment later Bishop Keiley came in, accompanied by Capt. Blun and others anti took his seat at a table within the* semi-circle. He wns arrayed in the handsome purple vest ments of the bishop’s office and was re ceived with murmurs of applause. Capt. Blun, ns chairman of the committee, rail ed for order and then introduced* Vicar General Bazin, who addressed the Bishop in behalf of the clergy. Father Bazin said: “Right Reverend Dear Bishop: In the name of the priests of the diocese of Sa vannah, both secular and regular, and m my own name, I extend to you a hearty welcome as our Bishop. “We trust. Right Reverend Sir. that the heavy weight of the Episcopate will fall lightly on- your should civ. for we will ex ert all our endeavors to help you bear it. We will all strive to work with you for the spiritual welfare of this diocese we love so well. We are no strangers to you, nor are you- a stranger to us.

Your predecessor was a priest of erudition, a man great and good, his equals are few.

On this auspicious occasion allow us to offer sincere congratulations, not alone of the Catholics of Savannah, but of also tho many friends of other denominations here and elsewhere.” In responding for the laity, Mr. O’Con nor sold in part: “Right Reverend Bish op: I have been requested by the laity of this diocese, to make some expression of their feelings upon this momentous occasion. While T feel that I cannot do ! the subject justice, I shall endeavor in j my feeble way, to convey some idea of ; our feeling toward you. Ever since your | consecration in Richmond, the devoted j mid patriotic Roman Catholics of this i fair city have been anxious for an oppor | tunlty to extend your lordship n hearty and filial ■welcome, and to manifest our appreciation of the great distinction with which you have l>een crowned by the | lloly Father. For twenty-seven years I you have been n member of the priest hood, which has done so much for the enlightenment and advancement, morally ; and intellectually of the human race. Fourteen years ago you accompanied to Georgia your lamented predecessor, the saintly and erudite Becker, of whom it may be truly exclaimed, “’Blessed ore the dead which die in the Lord.” During all these years you have shown yourself | a true priest and shepherd. You came among us n stranger, but you are now bound #o us by ties of the purest amity. Your fine example and your pure life has served as an ennobling influence to those under your core, while your genial xvarmth ho? enlivened social intercourse in Cath olic circles. “When a vacancy occurred in the Bish opric of this see it was (he earnest prayer of the people of this city that you might be chosen for this high office, and their hearts wfre thrilled with Joy when they i iCooUnuefl oa TLlrd rge.)

Ga.: Gentlemen—Tt gives me pleasure to heartily recommend “Infant-Friend Powder,” and to give to you a singu lar little coincidence connected with it. During the Cotton States and Inter national Exposition I was presen'ed with a little box of this powder, and was eo pleased with it that I was ex ceedingly anxious to get more, but on looking at the box I found nothing but Savannah, Go., no other address. I have often wished I knew where to get It. This morning’s mail brought your circular with enclosed sample. I immediately referred to my box. and found it was the “Infant-Friend Pow der.” It is without doubt tho best powder I have ever used. Respectfully, MRS. W'm. KING. For sale by all Druggists.
