THE FOOT RACE.
The foot race this afternoon of 100 yards
for $500 a side and the championship of
Georgia was run on Mulberry street be-
tween Louis Roberts, of Augusta, and
Louis Dnkler, of Macon. 1t was wit
messed by 1900 people. Roberts won in
8 4-5 seconds. Dinkler's time was 8 1916
seconds. 1t was a remarkably fine race.
Dlnkler was the champion yesterday over
fifteen competitors in the ireman's race.
This was the first regular prize race he
had ever run, whereas Roberts has been
running several years and has made a
State reputation. A few months training
would doubtless greatly increase Dink-
ler's speed. Several thousand dollars
changed hands on the result. The Au-
gusta boys are wild over Roberts victory.
The racers were started at the crack of a
pistol fired by A. L. Butts, of Macon.
Daisy Price, of Macon, and Pegrim Will
son, of Augusta, acted as judges.
ALI BABA.
The performance of Ali Baba. given to-
night, at Masonic Hall, by the students
of Pic Mono College, was a grand sue
cess. The Operetta, in four acts, was
written by Father F. NJ. English, of Pho
NinO College.
