WITH VISITORS
+
llorse Race Proved to Be
a Very Interesting
Feature.
A SAIL BOAT CAPSIZED
Ar,d tht Yacht Race Was Compelled
to be Called Off—Large Crowd
Witnessed Bicycle Races on
the Beach.
It was, indeed, a good day for Hie
seashore. The sum) beamed down up
on the earth like a hot hall of fire, and
tht pleasure-seekers were glad that
it was the Fourth and they would have
an opportunity of spending the day
out of the city. Brunswick war- al
most completely deserted by the citi
zens, and every boat leaving the city
for St. Simon was well crowded. There
the ocean breeze was enjoyed to the
very fullest extent. St. Simon even
seemed to put on a gay appearance
for her many visitors, and all who
wen: o' or returned last night report
ing o -asant day.
The surf suited for bathing in the
afternoon, ami was taken advantage
of generally, and at one time, near the
pier, several hundred people were in.
The water seemed to have a plea-ing
temperature and many remained in
for an hour or so.
The program of sports for the day
was very well carried out and was
thoroughly enjoyed hy the large crowd.
The boat races, the horse races and
ithe bicycle races were all entertaining.
At night the younger set took charge
and held full sway dancing in the pa
vilion. A majorty of the ladies and
children, returned on the six o'clock
Iboat, giving way to the dancers, who
remained on the island until the la t
iboat.
Bicycle Races.
The first amusement on the program
was the bicycle races and they at
tracted considerable attention. They
were pulled off in lie forenoon owing
to the fact that it was low tide. The
races resulted as follows:
Local championship, three heats;
foui entrie-. Elliot Moore, first; Eu
gene Marlin second.
Quarter-mile dash, three heats, for
boys under 16 years of age; seven on
tries. Paul Morton first; Mmnford
Tison second. All prizes were gold
medals. f
The mile handicap, open to all, was
'called off.
Unknown Capsized.
[ The sail boat races, in which only
two boats were entered, ended in an
accident. The Unknown and the Ro
chelle were the only two boats in the
•race. They were sailing along at a
good peed, when, in coining about,
the Unknown, in command of Gustave
Anderson, capsized. There were five
in the crew, ail adorned in duck cloth
ing, and they received a genuine good
ducking. The Rochelle, seeing that
the Unknown was in trouble, headed
towards her and picked up the mem
bers of thecrew. The boat was righted
and towed to tliecity later in the day.
Little Launches Race.
The race between the motive power
boats proved to be one of the most in
teresting events of the day. Three of
the little craft were entered, the Daunt
less, owned by O. N. Taylor; the Hula,
owned by Dan Devereaux; and the
Vivian, owned by W. W. Greenfield.
The race was* close and exciting over
the entire coure, the Dauntless coming
In first, with the Eula a close second.
A Lively Horse Race,
Considerable interest was mani
fested in the horse race, which occur
red late in the afternoon. Five -fast
horses were in the race, and the hun
dreds who lined the beach thoroughly
enjoyed the race. W. H. Davenport
crossed the line first, with Arthur Wa
ters a close second.
It is understood that the owners of
the horses in the race, have already ar
ranged another race to occur in the
city sometime in the near future.
General Good Time.
Until 12 o’clock last night the pa
v: va was crowded with young folks,
who tripped the light fantastic until
the departure of the last boat. Many
who could not get away during the
day went over on the evening boat
for the dance. Altogether he day
was a most enjoyable one and every
body reported a pleasant time.
It is estimated that 2,000 people vis
ited the island during the day.

8T GOOD PLAYING

Defeated Savannah Team
Yesterday in a Very
Pretty Game.
WALKER WAS INV^CIBLE
Local Twirler Allowed Visitors Only
Two Hits and Struck Out 10 Men.
Six Hundred People Witness
ed the Game.
Fully six hundred people saw the Pi-
lots defeat the Y. M. C. A. team of Sav
annah yesterday in one of the best
played games of the season. The
rooters wete oil hand in large num
bers, the Pilots’ colors were eon-pic
ious all over the grounds, and every- j
one present, as well ns the members '
ol' (lie team, had the inspiration and 1
tile game belonged to the Pilots. The 1
players were determined to give Wal
ker good support, amt Walker was de
ne: mined to pilch one of the best
garbles of this life, and he certainly
did it. lie proved a complete puz
zle to the red and yellow hoys, and
they were never able to solve him.
“Fan cm out Walker” wa- the cry
of the grand stand. He did it in great
style and just ten of the Forest City
boys were "punched.” Besides this
record made by the local twirler, only
two safe bits were recorded for the
visitors. One of .them was a two
bagger and the other a short single.
Walker had speed galore, excellent
control, and not a man was given a
free pass to first.
Pilots Quick to Begin.
The Pilots commenced their run
making in the second inning, and cro -
sod the home plate, three times. In
the third they made two more. The
visitors had rather a hard time reach

ESS.
man got as far as second, and he was
caught napping on that bag. Their
first run was made in the fifth inning
after two men were out. Stalk was
on third and Righton at the bac. The
Savannah catcher was anxious to get
home, and was playing well oil the
base. Bowen, in an endeavor to throw
him out, made a wild pitch and he
scored. I
Five and Five.
Neither side scored in (he sixth,
but it looked bad in the seventh, when,
with one hit, the Savannah team
scored: four runs. Three oirors were
made by the Pilots in this inning and
it was due to he good work of Walker
that two other men on liases did hoi
score. The grand stand, which had
been roofing and rooting, became slid
denly quiet. Those who had placed
bets on the Savannah team became
jubilant. They left their seat- and
congregated around the players beneh
but the side was retired witli the
score standing five and five in favor
of liriiiisvannah.
b Made Needed Run.
The large crowd was on the qui
vive. Was the Pilots going to lose Die
game after having it won up to (tie
seventh inning? Well, no.
They came in and made the nec
essary run. Frank Mallard was the
first man up and he went out on a
long drive to center. He was followed
hy Smith, who .struck out. Old Nat
stepped up, got a free pass to first. A
very few expected that he would score
two men being out. When two balls
had been delivered to O’Connor, who
was at the bat, Nat hail reached third
and was suing that base for a divot ce.
A hit was needed, badly needed. It
was two strikes on O’Connor. A ball
came along to liis liking, ami lie touch
ed R up for a single, scoring Night
engale and winning the game. Bowen
retired the side on a fly to shortstop.

After the game yesterday a subscrip

pitched such an excellent game, and
tie was presented with quite a neat
sum.
The hit of O'Connor in the eighth,
came at a must opportune time and
wen the game. He is eiimhing up in

for the Fort Screven team. He is a
good pitcher and always has excellent
control.
Captain Brewer had on bis kicking

large quantity of fruit will be produc
