ring partner, has written to the man
ager' of the Savannah Athletic Club
asking for a match with Tommy Feltz
In Savannah. Not only the club, but
Feltz. himself, is in favor of such a
match so the chances are that it will j
be made, and shortly.
Feitz is now in Charleston where he l
has gone to meet Terrible Tommy Ho- j
gan of Buffalo, Dec. 16. Many local ,
sports expect to take in this bout. It
is expected that so many of them will ;
be anxious to go to the bout that a |
special train may be operated for the j
occasion. Should this be decided on
the train will leave Savannah about
6 o'clock p. m., and. reaching Charles
ton in time for the bout, leave for the i
return trip immediately afterward, and |

WEARY BICYCLE RIDERS.
Grinding Attar •< Madison Square
and Trying to Hold Their Own.
New York, Dec. 10.—The competitors
In the six-day bicycle race at Madison
Square Garden were grinding away to
night to retain their positions. Before
another day has passed the record is
likely to be broken. In the early morn
ing the men were going at somewhat
of a loafing pace, but this evening
spurts were frequent. At 7 o’clock the
eighteen miles the leaders had fallen
behind the record had been reduced by
eight miles.
About 7:30 King and Samuelson, the
latter relieving his partner, made an
attempt to gain the lap which would
put them in line with the leaders.
The "Mormon boy's” effort was a spir
ited one. Billy King sprinted and got
an advantage of one-quarter of the
oval amid tremendous applause. His
partner relieved him and held the
sUgat gain for some time until Wal
thour caught up with him. McEachern
then relieved Walthour and the pace
was fast.
There was much talk to-night at the
training quarters of the men about
drugs being administered to the riders.
This was denied by the trainers.
The 9 o'clock score of the race was:
Fischer and Chevalier, 899 miles 4 laps;
Butler and McLean, 899 miles 4 laps;
Newkirk and Munro. 599 miles 4 laps;
McEachern and Walthour. 899 miles 4

MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
STEAMSHIP SHEIKH AND HER CU
RIOVS CREW OF ‘•COOLIES.”
The East Indian* Slaughter Sheep
on the Voyage—Local Freight
Market Hardening, With an Ad
vancing Tendency—Export* of
Lumber for the Past Week—Mat
ters of Interest to Shippers and
Mariners.
The British steamship Sheikh is
loading cotton at Churchill’s slip. Cen
tral Railroad wharves, and will take
on a large cargo. Her last cargo was
sugar from Java to New York.
Aboard the Sheikh is a crew of
■'coolies,” or East Indians, who appear
in their native garb, which makes them
conspicuous along the wharves. When
the ship sails live sheep is a part of
the provisions taken along for these
men. The sheep are slaughtered as
they are needed on the voyage. This
slaughtering is done with due religious
ceremony, the ecclesiastical head who
accompanies the crew officiating when
a lamb goes to the block. Each of the
crew has his own plate, knives and
forks, and other things of this'kind.
On some vessels where these people
serve their religious observances are
extreme. An old seaman tells a story
of being around once when a large
number of them were eating and In
promenading he walked between a
"coolie" and the sun, casting a shadow
over the diner. This being a violation
of some religious tenet the man tffrew
the dish from which he was eating and
its contents overboard, as the shadow
cast over it rendered the food un
clean to him.
The steamship Rlftswood was among
the arrivals yesterday. She comes
with a cargo of pyrites. She hails from
Middles borough.
The supply of foreign freight room
at Savannah Is rather limited at the
moment, and in response to the better
demand the market Is hardening some.
One or two leading shipping agents
are out of the market with the vessels
they have in port, having booked all
the room they have. The Improved
trading In the cotton market created
a better demand for freight engage
ments, and had much to do with bet
tering the market. With a .continuance
of present conditions It is predicted
that rates will seek a higher level
shortly.
The exports of lumber from Savan
nah during the past week were 2,632,-
014, of which 212,199 went to New York,
and 200,043 to Baltimore by steam, and
421,117 to New York, 1,345,806 to Phila
delphia. and 452,849 to New Bedford by
sail. The exports have showed some
falling off as compared with the av
erage outward movement for several
weeks past. With the exports to go out
by the steamship Northman of over a
million feet this will add to the coming
week's movement.
