Port Notes.
Messrs. M. S. Cosulich & Co. cleared the
.Norwegian bark Fido for Montevideo, with
2?2 barrels rosin, weighing 8,800 pounds;
15,120 pieces pitch pine lumber, measuring
315,576 feet. Valuation $4,762 81. Cargo
by Charles Green’s Son & Co.
Mr. J. B. Gaudy cleared the Norwegian
bark Saron for Liverpool, England, with
1,529 bales cotton, weighing 706,306 pounds.
"Valuation $67,450.
A Theatrical Dot.
The Times saw a telegram to-day from
Jacksonville, Fla., from Manager Goodwin,
stating that Miss Clara Morris opened at
the Opera House in that city to a packed
audience. The receipts amounted t 051,450,
nearly 'six hundred dollars more than the
receipts for the first night in Savannah. The
guarantee to Miss Morris in Jacksonville
‘ was SBOO for the first night, the same that
was guaranteed for the first night in Savan
nah. It will be seen from this that the
people of Jacksonville did considerably
better fortheir local manager than Savannah
did for hers.

City Board of Registration.
The City Board of Registration met yes
terday at 4 p. m., in the Council Chamber,
in response to a call from Captain John
Flannery, Chairman of the Election Com
missioners. Several points of interests were
discussed and the Board was instructed as to
its duties, alter which an organization was
affected by making Mr. John Rutherford,
Chairman, and Mr. D. B. Hull, Secretary.
Registration will begin on January 5, and
continue until January 17, inclusive. The
following are the places at which registra
tions will be held:
First District —At Cox’s stables, West
Offroad, near William street.
Second District—Premises on St. Julian
street, north side, one door east of Mont
gomery street.
Third District—Office of R. M. Demere,
in Commercial block, corner of Bay and
Drayton streets.
Fourth District— Premises on East Broad
street’ east side, one door north of South

C. B. BKliop iu "A Case of Wiae.”
Last evening to a fair audience Mr. C. B.
Bishop and his excellent company pre
sented the new play, “A Case of Wine,” by
the author of “A Bunch of Keys.” The
“Bunch of Keys” is incomparably better than
this “Case of Wine,” which in the hands of
■most comedians would fall flat, but Mr.
Bishop, in that inimitable way of his,
makes it count for all it is. worth and more
too. It may well be said that the audience
were amused throughout the performance
after the first act, which was rather tame,
[the scene being laid at a ranchero’s house
[in Idaho. The costumes used to represent
the typical Western man are very realistic.
The other three acts are laid in Washing
ton City, and are intended to burlesque the
life of the politician who goes to Congress
pure and soon becomes contaminated by the
fiocial and political miasma of that city.
Next to Elijah Cassard, the Congressman
From Idaho, which Mr. Bishop played with
his usual success, the character of Tom
Cook, the leading lawyer of his district and
fe skilled wire-puller, played by Mr. Eugene
iberle, could scarcely have been improved
h. Every city in the West is blessed with
ust such a man. Miss Kenyon Tilton
pleased the audience in her little
tongs and dances, and Master Chas. Kenner
n the character of Bucephalus Moriarty, a
Colored waiter, received several hearty
encores during his songs and dances and
banjo music. This afternoon “Widow Be
lott” is played at the matinee, closing the
engagement of the company.
THE DRUMMER’S TAX.
A Letter from Congressman Cox.
The City Council will to-night consider
the tax ordinance, and the license for
drummers will be fixed. This subject is
attracting a great deal of attention, and the
action of the Council is anticipated with
interest.
In this connection the following copy of a
letter from Hon. S. S. Cox, to a representa
tive commercial traveler, will be read with
Washington, D. C., Dec. 11, ISM.
Dear Sir: Your letter in relation to the
taxing of the drummers is at hand. It is in
teresting because it is true, and it divulges a
system of interruptions to free and fair trade
in the South that is very obnoxious to every
than of enterprise. I do not think it would
be proper or be ruled in order upon the pres
ent Interstate commerce bill that has to do
With railroads only and a Commission. It
Would be ruled out of order. Mr. Brewer iias
seemed to take charge of the bill, and his bill
is now pending. I have always helped it, and
Fee or twice carried it in the District of Co
lombia. lam always glad to do what I can.
Anything you can give me on the subject will
Ijj-heerfully received.
A BIG BUILDING CONTRACT.
Ninety Houses to be Built by » Savannah
Firm.
■ Messrs. D. C. Bacon & Co., have just
closed the largest building contract ever
made with one firm in Savannah. This is a
contract with the Panma Canal Company to
furnish ninety frame houses. These houses
gill be built of the best material, in sections,
so that they can be easily adjusted and
erected where desired.
They will be shipped from this port to
Aspinwall direct and delivered to the Pa
nama Canal Company. This is a big con
tact, and in carrying it out the firm will be
eiabled to give employment to a largely in
creased number over their present force.
We regard this as an important transaction,
to our community and port, and
have something further to say on the
silject.
f
THE SAVANNAH DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 31, 1884.
THE ELECTION ON THE SEVENTH.
All Preparations Completed ami the Man
agers and Clerks Assigned to Duty.
Yesterday the Board of Managers for the
election of County Officers met at the office
of Magistrate M. Frank Molina, at 12 o’clock,
and completed all arrangements for the
holding of the election. The following is a
list of the Managers and assistants:
Box No. 1 (facing Bull street) —McLeod
King, J. P., Geo. W. Haslam and H. J.
Thomasson, freeholders. List keepers—
Wm. H. Patterson, A J. Raymur and T. D
Downing. From Ato D inclusive.
Box No. 2 (facing York street) -M
Naughtin, J. P., Levi 8. Hart and John
Cooper, freeholders. List keepers—Thos.
Daniels, Jr., Jobn W. Haywood and Harry
Palmer. From Eto L inclusive.
Rox No. 3 (facing Drayton street) —V. R.
Winkler, J. P., Geo. W. Parish and Thom
as Daniels, freeholders. List keepers—E.
K. Hernandez, Geo. W. Titcomb and M.
Scanlan. From Mto R inclusive.
Box No. 4 (facing President street) —J.
T. Buckner, J. P., Frank Blair and Geo.
W. Allen, freeholders. List keepers—W.
F. Law, J. F. Kelly and A. J. J. Blois.
From S to Z inclusive.
The managers and the list keepers will
meet at the Court House at 6:30, and the
polls will be open at 7 o’clock. The ar
rangements are similar to those existing at
, the late November election, except that a
railing will be placed at each box, so that
voters shall go in at one side, vote and re
tire on the other. Everything has been
done to facilitate matters on that day, and
the recommendation of the grand j ury has
been taken cognizance of and no effort will
be spared to suppress the sale of liquor on
that day, all county officers having been
instructed to report any violation of the
liquor law on election day to the grand
jury.
The following section, 5227, of the Code
of Georgia, will be read with interest:
“The County Officers shall be elected by the
qualified voters of their respective counties
or districts, and shall hold their offices for
two years. They shall be removed on convic
tion of malpractice in office, and no person
shall be eligible to any of the offices referred
to in this paragraph unless they shall have
been a resident of the county for two years
and is a qualified voter.”
This makes it incumbent on all candidates
to have paid all taxes and to have registered.
The oath of the voters is the same as that
for the State and Presidential election,
which was published prior to the November
election, but is now reproduced by re
quest :
“I do swear (or affirm), that I am 21 years
of age, have resided in this Slate one year,
and in this county six months, next preced
ing this election. I have paid alf taxes
which since the adoption of the present Con
stitution of the State, have been required of
me previous to this year, and which I have
had an opportunity to pay, and I have not
voted at this election.”
Superintendent Molina requests that all
list keepers report to him at his office be
tween now and Saturday, as the places of
those not doing so will be filled as soon as
possible.
GENTLEMEN’S DRIVING PARK.
Many Improvements Mide—The Track iu
Splendid Condition—Monthly Races
to be Inaugurated.
Yesterday a spanking team drew up in
front of the Times office and excited the
admiration of the entire staff present, and
one of the reporters was asked to get
in and take a spin out to Thunderbolt, by
Mr. Daniel H. Campbell.
Soon the two were spinning along the
Thunderbolt road like a beautiful yacht be
fore a stiff breeze. The time consumed in
reaching the Gentlemen’s Driving Park was
only too short. Reaching the park and
driving inside, the reporter was surprised
to note the many improvements made since
his last visit to the place. The track has
been well sodded with a spongy clay, and
rolled until it is as smooth as glass. The
work of rolling is still going on, and will
continue up to to-night, thus giving one of
the best half mile tracks in the
State. There is just sufficient
elasticity in the sod to make
it easy on stock and preclude the possibility
of injury. Several gentlemen visited the
track during the afternoon and took a spin
around the circles. The entrance to
the park is made by a lane near
I the summer house of Capt. M. J. Doyle.
At the gate is the ticket office, a neat little
room, neatly whitewashed. Through the
gate one passes to the grand stand refresh
ment room, which is now well stocked with
everything to drink and smoke. Parties
going to the races in carriages, phae
tons, etc., will be allowed to
drive across the track and
occupy the space within, thus affording an
excellent opportunity of seeing the races
uninterrupted by the loud and boisterous
talking usually incident to the crowd con
gregated near the judge’s stand. The races
will begin to-morrow at 2 o’clock precisely.
The judges selected for the occasion are
Messrs. John Feeley, George A. Hud
son and Thomas West. It is expected that
a large crowd will be on hand
and sufficient cars will be run to ac
commodate all without crowding. Al
ready there are more than 50 members
of the Driving Club, and there is now no
excuse for any Bavannahian to complain
that he has no opportunity to witness a race
free from jockeying, at least once a month.
Savannah is large enough and has enough
fine horse flesh to support a good institution
of the sort just inaugurated. It now remains
to be seen whether or not the support will
be tendered. A monthly race will be an
attraction to the many strangers who visit
Savannah and express their surprise when
told that there is nothing of the sort going
on.
