gramme Of the sixth annual distribution
Of the Sacred Heart Seminary at Sharon,

preparatory school for boys too young to
enter college, from the age of 4 to u
years, and is in charge of the Sisters of
st. Joseph, with Sister Francis as Mother
Superior. The progress of the

been most satisfactory, having received
a liberal patronage from this and adjOin-
ing States, a number of the scholars at
present being from Savannah. Parents
and others from this city who propose
visiting Washington for the commence
ment exercises there on the 4th of July,
would do well to stop over at Sharon on
their return, as they will be well repaid
for their visit by witnessing the interest
ing exercises set down on the programme
or the little boys. In the list Of cOntribu-
tors Of premiums for the occasion is the

THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
improvements by Manager Valleau-
A Public Station at Tybee.

improvements by Manager Valleau-
A Public Station at Tybee.
Manager Valleau, Of the Telephone Ex-
change, is increasing its facilities by the
extension of its lines and in the improve
ment Of the service. Among the new sta
tons which have been established since
he assumed the management is a public
station at the Tybee House at the wharf
at Tybee for the benefit of Captains
of steamers and others who have
use for a telephone from the island.
This station is a great convenience
and does away with the long walk
from the wharf to the signal observa-
tory, where heretofore the only station
has been located. A station has also
been established at the Ocean House,
giving the island as complete telephone
service as 1t requires.
In the city the lines will be improved in
a short time by the erection of a new
system of poles and wires throughout.
Some changes are anticipated in the GEN.
trail office, and altogether the service will
be greatly augmented. Manager ValIeau
has been energetic and stirring during
his brief management thus far, and is
making many friends by his businesslike
and courteous manner.

THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Its Usual Observance in SAVANNAH
Walking Match Proposed,

Its Usual Observance in Savannah-A
Walking Match Proposed,
A week from Wednesday will usher in
the glorious Fourth of July. While the
day is generally observed very quietly in
the city it is enjoyed by the citizens at the
suburban resorts in a manner that does
honor to the day, without the smash
bang blowout and tub and greased-pig
races Accomplishments that characterize
the overflow of patriotism in many cities.
The celebrations when they have oc-
CURED in former years have been dignIf1ed
and yet patriotic. AS yet there is no ar
rangement for any special observance. 1t
being a national holiday, business will
be generally suspended, and the people
will take themselves to the cool retreats
and happy enjoyments.
The only feature of the day yet pro-
posed is a walking match among the
clerks and employees of the Savannah,
Florida and Western Railway. IfSavan-
nah is going to indulge the craze, there
will probably be no better time than the
one suggested, as there will be little
business done on that day and it will
interfere with nothing and give every
body a chance to witness it.

The Ford Dramatic Association will
open its series of summer nights enter
tainments on Wednesday night with the
comedy, ''The Old, Old Story or Divorced"
a new play presented by permission OF
Miss Louise Rial. The association has
been extremely fortunate in securing a
strong cast of players, including Mr..
Duffield, Mr.. Hanley and Mr.. Readick,
supported by other members of the asso-
citation, with Miss Nellie Pierce, who be-
came established as a fayorite during her
engagement last summer, and Miss Hus-
sey, with whom Savannahians are fa-
miliar, and who will appear in her first
dramatic role. One of the features of the
play is the introduction of the telephone
scene, which has been effected through
the courtesy of Manager Valleau, of the
Telephone Exchange. The instrument
proves the existence of "a villain in the
case" and becomes the medium of his
discovery. The play throughout is strong
in its class. 1t has been carefully re-
hearsed and its presentation gives assur-
ance of the best performance ever given

Sporting Notes.

In the Star-Brennan game at Columbus
on Thursday, Leslie, of the Stars, in
springing on the bag while running a
base, caught the spikes of his shoes and
was thrown to the ground, spraining his
. ankle. He will probably be laid up for
two or three weeks.
During the last Metropolitan Cincinnati
game, Bergh, the President of the Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
schlager from behind the bat,whose hands
were bleeding in half dozen places, and
he censured Mutrie very severely for over
working his poor dumb brutes.
The Florida Herald's nine, composed of
Marsh, p; Benet, c.; Lynch, h.; Hailan,
3D.; Gibbons, 3D.; Peterson, s. S.; Burk-
helm, /. f.; Jones, eff; McGinnis, r. f., and
Peterson, Captain, is anticipating trip
through Georgia, playing the DiXies and
Oglethorpes, of Savannah, and the other
clubs in Augusta and Columbus.
A London sporting journal states that
the Maurice Rowing Club are making
some interesting experiments as to the
comparative speed of sculling and row.
ing, and have procured novel craft-a
sculling four. 1t may interest the writer
to know that these sculling fours were in
troduced into the United States ten years
ago, have been christened ''centipedes,"
are now to be found in the lighthouses of
several amateur clubs and have competed
in many races.
The game of the Stars with the So
called Brennans at Columbus on Friday
is exciting some interest throughout the
State. The Brennans, it win be recol-
lected, made a cyclone tour through
Georgia last year and downed the clubs
in Columbus, Augusta and Savannah.
The Stars have repreated the dose this
season, and the meeting of these two
clubs, it was thought, would be sort of
Kilkenny fight. As matter of fact the
Brennan club is not on the road at all, if
indeed it is now in existence at home.
Tom Brennan is not managing the nine
and is not touring with them, and the
club which played the Stars does not
seem to be any other than the r. z. Lee
Club of New Orleans. The nine of this
club consists OF Smith, p; Cruso, c.;
Rebenac, S. s.; Barrett, c. f.; Pujol, r. f.. !;
Buckenford, ]. f.; Behan, LIST b.; Dhroler,
Sd b.; Miller, I'd b. From this it viii be
seen that only one or two of the old Bren-
nan nine are in the Lee club.

GIeanings from Sporting Fields.
The Dixie Base Ball Club viii leave to-
night for Augusta, where they will play
the Browns tomorrow and Tuesday, and
the Clinchs on Wednesday and Thurs
day. The club will probably not play the
Stars, owing to disagreement in regard
to the distribution Of the proceeds of the
game. When the Stars visited Savannah
they received the amount determined
upon by the League. Now that the Dixies
offer to play upon the agreement
that 60 per cent. of the proceeds
go to the winning club. The
Stars evidently want the whole pile.
The proposition is unjust, and the Dixies
viii not accede to il. In consequence
they Will not visit Columbus unless some
