The Gnards, GaIa d..

The anniversary picnic of the savan-
nah Volunteer Guards at the Schuetzen
Park yesterday was one Of the most en-
iovable social events of the season, and
was attended by hundreds Of thefriends Of
the gallant corps. 1t was a gala day for
the Battalion and their guests. The
handsome steamer Sylvan Glen left the
AbercOrn street wharf on her first
trip at eleven O'Clock. aaG ca FRIED out a
fun load. The afternoon boat carried
even a larger number than went IN the
morning and still more went by car
and private conveyance. Dancing was
begun early in the day, and until quarter
past nine Lass night there was hard
IL any intermissiOn. Al2rge number from
other commands were present Ia uniform,
and the scene in the pavilion was very
attractive. as the members Of the different
CORPS and gaily attired ladies mingled in
the merry dance. By invitation Of Lieut..
Colonel Garrard the Military Academ Y
Cadets were present during the afternoon
and Joined IN the festivities. The gather-
Ing was wholly informal. The members
OF the company with their guests we're
out for a frOlic. and the occasion was all
that was pr0mised-One Of the most
measurable that has ever been recorded
In its history. At evening the pavilion
was brilliantly Illuminated with reflect
ing lamps. and the floor was crowded with
the devOtees Of the merry dance.
The day was delightful, and tue cool
breeze last night added to the pleasure
and gave inspiration 20 the music Of the
orchestra and the band. The grounds
were filled with quiet groups
euioving the evening, and when
the last dance wac concluded
the participants were reluctant 10 leave.
The boat left about half-past O'Clock.
ard was loaded 20 its capacity, the re-
naming members and their guests re-

The oglethsrpes Drop Their Lsurels to
the Rival Team-Captured by the
CbauTniOus on an Easy Score.

The Oglethsrpes Drop Their Lsurels TO
the Rival Team-Captured by the
Champions on an Easy Score.
Savannah had her rival base ball muscle
on exhibition yesterday. Tuesdays game
excited considerable interest. and between
two hundred and three hundred persons
assembled at Base Ball Park to witness
the defeat Of the victors by the champion
ship team. There was a lively interest in
the contest. and bets were made that the
Dixies would double their contestants
score.
The game was called at AIS O'Clock,
The Dixies won the toss and went 10 the
bat. At the outset the OglethOrpes showed
their pluck and made a hard fight. but
their rivals were heavy players, and
after the first innings batted their pitch
ing all over the field. The game through
out was badly played, and with one or
two features. was a poor exhibition Of
base ball timber.
Both clubs have good players. but the
trouble seems to be lack Of management.
To their credit. their conduct is orderly.
but too many bosses have bad effect on
the game. and if Savannah proposes TO
hoist the championship flag. her players
will have 10 do better work than was done
yesterday. The fielding was bad. and the
strength Of the game lay in the heavy bat
ting. The DiXies are considerably heavier
in weight than the OglethOrpes, who are
small men. But they have got good
timber.
The catching Of McNish was good. The
left-handed. pitching Of COtter bothered
their opponents until the beginnin ofthe
seventh inning. when they pounded him
high into the Out-feld. and piled up the
scores al a lively rate. From tie on the
sixth inning the Oglethorpes lost their
hold. and the game turned, the DiXies
taking the lead and keeping it to the I'm
ish. Several fine field plays were made,
but in the critical spots the players lost
their heads. The following is the score

Editor Morning Nelcs: The want of
such a corporation has long been felt in
our city. and we have strong assurance
that such a church will soon be COM
menced.
The old building on Huntingdon street
is fast going to decay, the flooring being
unsafe to walk upon, and the roof in such
bad order that on rainy days the people
are prevented from gathering for worship.
The good and noble rector of st. Johns,
Rev. Chas. H. Strong, who never fails in
ANYTHING he undertakes, is interesting
himself to obtain a building lot in a more
desirable part of the city, and Mr.. Clarke,
a pOstulant for the ministry, who has been
labOring in st. Matthew's parish for the
past six months; and who is much beloved
and in every way acceptable to the people,
has offered his gratuitOus services for the
work of the parish.
Although the ladies of the Church Aid
Society have labored industriOusly and
been patronized most literally by gen.
erous public, they have made no progress
in accommodating a building fund.- as the
necessities of Mr.. Kennard, for a long
time lay reader in this parish, absorbed
all the money they were able to make.
This gentleman, recently ordained dea-
con, has been removed to another mission,
and the ladies are now relieved of his
support.
The society has just realized a neat
sum by their recent entertainment at
Masonic Temple, and with Mr.. Strong to
encourage, direct and help them and no
further drain upon their resources, we
hope to see commenced at least a free
church building, that will when finished
be an ornament to the city and lasting
monument TO the noble ladies who are
working for this object.
We understand there is lady in our
city who has $500, which she is holding in
reserve for this building, also that an
other party holds double that sum for the
same purpose. These sums, with what
the ladies have in hand, ought to justify
them in commencing a wooden building
which, when finished. would be filled with
a congregation over which many minis
tiers in our State would be glad to preside.
All success to you, ladies; the work is in
good hands. Do not allow yourself to
be encountered with any useless burdens
and your success is assured. Get habit
able building first and then you can call
some good clergyman who will attend to
the work of this parish alone, and st.
Matthew's will become one of the noblest
institutions in the city of Savannah. r.

DROWNED IN TRE SOUTH CHANNEL.
A Boat in Tow of the Sylvan Glen Cap
sized. and a Negro Lost.

Yesterday morning. as the steamer Syl-
van Glen left the city, with about three
hundred eXcursiOnists, for the Schuetzen
Platz, she had in tow a barge intended to
be used as a wharf for the landing of the
party.
Just as the steamer was leaving the
city Mr.. George Won Eberstein, accom-
panied by two persons, one white and the
other cOlored. who were going to
Tybee. appeared in a row boat and
made fast to the barge with the
object of taking advantage of a tow as far
as the mouth of st. Augustine creek.
When the steamer reached that point,
the white man who was with Mr.. Won
Eberstein, was on the fiat and at
tempted to return to the small boat,
Mr.. Won Eberstein shouted: Don't
jump in here now, you'll capsize u.s.
The warning was. apparently, not heard,
and when the man jumped into
the boat ii turned over and
threw the three occupants into
the river. The cOlored man was not seen
to come to the surface, but when Mr.. Won
Eberstein and his companion reappeared
on the top Of the water. the row boat, still
fastened to the barge. had righted, but
was out of their reach.
Mr.. James Hurbert. the first mate of
the sylvan Tlen, took IN the SITUATION at
a glance, and quickly Selling paddle
from one of the steamers life boats,
leaped into the small boat, and cutting it
adrift. rescued one of the men with
out much difficulty. When he reached
Mr.. Won Eberstein that gentleman was
we'll nigh exhausted but succeeded in
clinging to the gunwale. Meantime Cap
tain Lance stopped his steamer and sent
a boat with three men to bring Mr.. Won
Eberstein and his cOmpaniQS back to
Savannah. Search was made for the
body of the negro. but at last reports it
had not been recovered.

A Travelling Fraud.

\ few months ago white woman, pro-
badly - or 80 years Of age, canyassed the
city and obtained from a number Of per-
sons some articles of clothing, which she
proposed 10 clean and renOTate at a COM
paratively trifing expense. She gave her
name as Mrs. Ayers, and could have done
a good deal of business in that line had
she so wished. Not long after making the
canvass, however, she suddenly took her
departure and many Of her wOuld-be pa
irons failed to ascertain her whereabouts
or a trace of their goods in her possession.
A day or two ago she returned to the
CITY. when one of her customers had her
arrested and brought before Justice Isaac
Russell to ansger for her old tricks. In
response to the question as TO the dispo-
sition she had made of certain articles of
wearing apparel. she suggested that they
must have been stolen. Our citizens will
do we'll 10 look out for similar frauds.
