TaE OCEAN RACE.


The ..Neea" and "Franees Elizabeth"
at Anchor at Tybes-The Race to Start
at DayIight-Big Money on Both
Boats.
The ocean race between the pilot boats
Frances Elizabeth" Of Charleston, and
the "Neca.s Of Savannah, Will take place
to-day over the course which they sailed
on July so, 1888. The purse
wagered By the owners OF the respective
boats last year was $500, making a prize
OF $1,000. On the race to-day $1,000
side has been put up, making
s.. 600 for which the race viii be sailed.
Large amounts have also been staked by
outside parties and il is expected that at
least $1,000 will change hands on the re-
suit. Both vessels have been recently
Overhauled in anticipation of the contest,
hence the interest is much greater than
last wear. The Mecca is Of greater ton
mage than hercOmpetitOr, being registered
at 81. She is 81 feet long. IS feet beam
and has a draught Of feet Z inches.
The Frances Elizabeth is 81 feet 3lnches
in length over all. with beam OF Is feet
and a draught Of 5 feet 5 inches, and a
tonnage of -. Last year she carried
greater spread Of canvass in proportion TO
her size than the .'Neca.' She is managed
by a crew Ofeight men. Her owner, Capt.
swan. will be in command to-day, though
Capt. James /. IgOe VIII act as her
sailing master. Capt. IgOe was a part
owner in the Charleston boat last year,
but afterwards sold his interest to Capt.
swan. The ssNeca'' has the reputation OF
being a sitter vessel than her competitor
in rough weather, and in the race to-day
will enjoy the advantage Of an increased
spread of canvas compared TO what she
- ,. harr
heightened fully six feet. It is
cOntended that the increased height
will also give her an advantage in light
wind. which she could not have had last
year. and that she will to-day resume her
rank as the fastest boat Of her class in
the Southern waters. Her commander IS
Captain John ii. Craig, one OF the Oldest and
most daring nf pilots, but whose intrepid
itv is tempered by experience. He had
not selected his crew up to yester-
day, and il was understood that
il would not be made up
until last night, but would 4nclude sew
eral who wished TO participate IN the
race. Capt. George Hussey was appointed
TO represent the Savannah Yacht Club as
a Judge on the Frances Elizabeth" and
LETT yesterday afternoon 10 meet the boat
at Tybee. G.. b. Pritchard Will represent
the club as Judge on the ''Neca." The
Frances Elizabeth arrived at Tybee yes
terday afternoon at o'clock, and in CON-
pany with the ''Neca' and the ''SprIte."
Will sail TO Martins Industry lightship, the
starting point Of the race, sixteen miles
from Tybee, this morning. The 'Sprite"
is commanded by Capt. Carries A. Mar
melsteln. and will carry a number OF in
vited guests over the course in view OF
the cOutesting boats. The distance 70 be
sailed is los miles-54 miles from Mar
tins Industry lightship to Rattle
snake lightship and return. Among
sailors last night il was thought that the
wind this forenoon would be strong, prin-
clpalIy from the southwest, and that the
race would be concluded within twenty
hours.

Since she appointment Of Judge Harden

an enthusiastic boom in favor Of the

shown by their interest in the enterprise
that they intend to furnish the means re-

mereial and trade prestige. The exhibit

REQUIRE continued and arduous labor 70
organize a display that will illustrate the

The time for doing this work is short, and

Realms.
The most interesting astronomical
events Of July are not those that can be
seen. Chief among them is the inferior
conjunction Of Venus, on the 18th, when
she passes from the eastern TO the western
side Of the sun. The last conjunction Of
Venus. So DAYS before this. was in De-
cember. 1882. when she passed across the
sr,r,s dfsk- and appeared a small black
spot on the flaming ball OF nre.
This time she passes above the
sun: and she viii not again cross
bis disk for 10 years The reason
for her apparently capricious behavior
Is that her orbit is slightly inclined TO the
ecliptic. OF apparent path OF the sun:
so that half the time she is on one side OF
Il. and half the time on the other side. It
is only when she is at the crossing Of that
path at the same time that she is between
the sun and the earth, that a transit can
occur. Venus sets now soon after the
sun. but~an still be discerned in the fad
ing glow in the west Just after the suns
disappearance. Alter the 18th she be-
comes morning star. and remains on that
side Of the sun for ten months.
JUPITER IS still evening star, and VIII
be throughout the month, though he Is
fast following his fair daughter, and sets
now about 3 O'Clock. Saturn has already
crossed the line and heads the detection
Of the evening star. which is epidemic,
for they all follow him soon, and the goT-
. veOus spectacle OF a combined galaxy"
Of planets as a circus man might put ii,
will no longer be visible in the evening.
There Is little TO make up 10 the star
gazer for their disappearance. Orion and
his 4orerunneFs and followers are gone,
and Arcturus is sole monarch Of the mid
night vault of heaven.
The moon fulls on the Sth. and is new
again on the I'D. For the next two weeks
the evenings will be light, and the July
moon will doubtless see more human be-
ings abroad enjoying her effulgence than
any Of her predecessors for this year.

southern Revolutionary Relics.

A recent visitor to the battlefields of
Kings Mountain and the COwpens in
South Carolina, says the Baltimore Day,
reports that the monuments placed there
many years ago are ruined by relic hunt
ers. The facing Of the COwpens Monu-
ment. s1erected by the Washington Light
Infantry Of Charleston in 1885, is nearly
all gone: the ground has grown up 10
forest, and soon there will be nothing to
mark the spot where one OF the most
important events Of our Revolutionary
history took place. A monument
in honor Of M0rgan's victory has
been erected by Congress and the state
of South Carolina, assisted by other
States. at Spartanburg, 16 miles distant;
but this cannot identity the place where
the battle occurred. On the Kings
Mountain battlefield there is monument,
placed there atthe time Of the centennial
celebration, in October, 1880, which Is
untouched BY the spoilers as vet, and is
likely to be, as il is Of rough granite at
the base and of such size as to repel the
inclination to chip on keepsake pieces,
but the FergusOn-ChrOnicle monument,
erected where Ferguson, the British COM
mander, and Chronicle, Boyd and other
Americans killed in the battle, were
buried, is so far destroyed as to be
worthless as a monument. The inscrip-
tions on neither side can be read, and the
face ofone sideis nearly all Of it hacked off
and carried away. surely here is little
patriotic work for the South Carolina His
tOrlcal Society or the Washington Light
Infantry, or both, to do in preserving for
all time these two interesting spots Of our
Revolutionary history. No doubt Con-
gress would lend a helping hand, as ithas
IN so many similar instances.
a recent visitor to Mecklenberg, y. c.,
found much interesting in the Carolinas
and Tennessee in Revolutionary history.
The Mecklenberg Declaration OF indie

ssWhat do l think lcho thunk!' Why,
the thinking rejecting man, to be sure.
He dropped into a certain establishment,
and seating himself in a cool spot, the fol-
lowing thoughts were evolved: That there
are lots of business houses in the land
that now and then blaZen the walls and
the newspaper columns with promises of
extraordinary reductions in prices. When
you call-the reply is-"We have just
closed out that lot" or else will show you
some cheap trumpery or other and en-
deavOr in a very unbiblical spirit TO ''take
YOU in" Simon Mitchell has made some
wonderful reductions in prices of his fine
clothing, but is confident enough to say
TO you not TO take his word for it, but come
and see for yourself. He has a few more
fine Dress aud Business Suits than he
cares to s.carry over" theref fore he IS going
10 sell them. Also large line Of Seer
sucker suits for the hot weather. Mitchell
is in dead earnest, and if you need any
thing from clothing to hat or collar.
big saving is in store for you. Everything
represented squarely. "No satisfaction,
