MILITARY.
Prize Drlll Of the Republican Blues.

The annual prize drill of the Republican
Blues took place last evening at their armory,
and the occasion was graced with the pres
ence OF numerous fair friends of the corps
and their escorts.
The drill was excellent, lasting one hour
and forty five minutes, and was alternately
conducted by Captain Mercer, Lieutenant
Morrel and Lieutenant Dixon. The contest
opened with sixteen in the ranks, and pro-
crossed some minutes before there was a
Waver, and the first rest was called with the
ranks intact, amidst the applause
of the spectators. TIL drill was resumed
and continued a minute or too, when
Private Gaudry, an excellent soldier,
and one who has passed through several
close contests, made an error on present
arms and went out. After about an hour
and half drilling there were only three on
the floor: Private NJ. w. Dixon, Sergeant
j. NJ. Maccaw and Corporal w. b. Spann.
The manner in which these three
executed the orders, their precision
and rapidity, elected the unqualified
admiration and hearty applause of all.
They remained steadfast for some time, and
many thought it would be a tie, so to speak,
as neither seemed inclined to Weld the
honor. The drill, however, continued
with even more rigor, and finally
on a carry arms Private Dixon
made a mistake and fell out, leaving
Sergeant Maccaw and Corporal Spann to
contend for the victory. After a spirited
contest between these two, Sergeant Mac
cav, IN the order fire kueeling, made a
mistake, and Corporal Spann was left the
victor, being greeted with applause.
The company was reformed, and Captain
Mercer, in a happy complimentary little
speech, presented Corporal Spann the COM
pany medal as the best drilled man of the
corps for 1881. The company was then dis
missed, and Corporal Spann received the
warm congratulations of his friends.

depreeating any change or varia-
ton OF the charter, as well as any
increase In the number of members of the

erS OF the Massie School, who may from
LIME to time be appointed under
tne ordinances OF the city OF Savannah,
Vestng the power and mode of appoint

uarY OF each succeeding year, the Mayor
snail appoint three Commissioners of the
Massie School, one of whom shall be the
mayor, when he is not a regular member of
suO OOaIu VI 1uOlc Education Tor the city OF
savannah, and the said Commissioners NAV
De selected from the Aldermen or citizens,
or both, as the Mayor may elect.
The committee suggest that the PROPOSE
lions submitted to them can be met by an
ordinance Of the city changing the said first
paragraph OF said ordinance as follows:
"Ihst at the first regular meeting

ceeding year the Mayor shall APP
point three Commissioners of the Massie

.sThe pIrates,, Matinee,

Another large and critical audience as
sembled at the Theatre yesterday afternoon
to hear the famous opera of "The Pirates of
Pe~nzance'' repeated at the matinee by the
amateur company who gave it Monday and
Tuesday evenings under the direction of
Professor Mallette. The parquette and
dress circle were literally iammed, aud the
upper tier and boxes were filled with lovers
of music, evidently anticipating a rare treat.
They were not disappointed, for the ladies
and gentlemen participating In the per-
Torrance entered heartily into the spirit OF
the occasion. and, If possible, eXcelled their
previous efforts. "Mabel' never sang
more sweetly, and that is say
ing volumes: "Ruth" was never
more enchanting, Frederick" never
was more conscientious. The "Msjor Gen
eral'' was never In better condition, while
his pretty daughters were as charming as
mortals ever get to be. The ''Pirate King"
with his Lieutenant and band, and the Ser
geant with his police, were also in fine voice
and spirits, and, in short, the entire opera
was a grand and perfect success. To the
participant s without exception, to Prof.
Mallette, and to Messrs Readick and Ber-
rien, the stage managers, great credit Is
So universal Is the sentiment of admira-
ton which has been evoked by the rendition
of this opera by our Savannah amateurs
that It has been decided to repeat it, or at
any rate the first act, at the Grand Gift
Concert to take place next Friday night.
OF course another large audience will be
present. and we know that all who do attend
will be delighted.

The editor Of the Monroe Forsyth AdUer-
tser was a delegate to this city to the Grand
Lodge of the Knights of Honor, late in SEES
sion here. On his return to his home he
gave utterance to his impressions of the
Forest City in the following highly compli-
men;ary vein;
''To visit the city of Savannah at this sea-
son is to afford ones self a great deal of
pleasure. No matter where one has been or
how beautiful the cities he has seen, when
he looks upon the Forest City, clad In the
emerald robes that springtime is wont
to deck her with, then he is forced to con-
fess that he has seen nothing prettier. The
man who planned the city by the sea
should have a monument that would last
forever, and the children should annually
bring tribute of the fairest flowers that bloom
in garden or bower, for certainly he was
their friend and dotted the city all over
with beautiful little parks, where they may
while away the livelOng day, safe from the
rays of summers sun. To hear the happy
shouts of these delighted children, as they
sport beneath the archiDg boughs of the
wide-spreading water oak, is enough TO
make the S~avannahian rejoice that his lot
has fallen in so fair a spot"

The Performance by the FOrds.

The performance to be given by the Ford
Amateurs on the Sd of May, judging from
the satisfactory rehearsals which have taken
place, will be one of the best yet given by
the association. The members have taken
unusual interest In this performance,
it being the opening n of the sum-
mer season, and 1t may be assumed they
will ably sustain the reputation which they
have gained In the past by creditable efforts.
The Young ladies who have consented to
participate have, we undertand, done xcep-
~tionally well, and win sustain their respec-
tive roles with great credit. We feel as
sured tha our community, who have ever
regarded the Fords with special pride, may

Accident.

Mr.. Wash Nelson, the well-known fish
and oyster dealer, Of this city, yesterday
morning met with a serious accident. 1t
seems that he was driving from his place at
the Isle of Hope to the Market, and as he
arrived at the corner of York and Barnard
streets, and was turning into the latter, his
horse took fright and started to run. The
wheels of the market z in which Mr..
Nelson was seated, struck the rails of the
Barnard Street Railroad With such violence
hat he was thrown out backwards, and,
failing on his head, was knocked senseless.
For a time It was thought his injuries were
fatal, but we subsequently, learned that,
beyond severe bruises, no serious results
will follow. The horse was soon stopped,
and no damage was done to hin or to the
wagon.
