and letting only two of them 10 second
base during the game.
In the ninth inning DOdd was given his

The chief interest Will be in the con-
test between the Neca and 90. The
latter boat has been on the drydock ut
Charleston some time undergoing an
oyerhauling, and sailed last night for
Tybee. The Judges who are 10 sail on the

fastest pilot boats on the coast, having
already beaten the Frances Elizabeth
twice over the course to be run on
Monday.

two boats, Neca and Go, to the use OF
five sails as follows /, Flying jib: 2,

evening. The tug Monarch will leave
Charleston Monday forenoon, and will
meet the boats at sea, accompanying them
to Rattlesnake light, and then over the
course 70 the finish at Martins Industry
light. The interest which attends the
rrce, both among Charlestomans and Sa-

Quarantine Matters and other Measures
to be Discussed.

A conference OF the health authorities
Of Savannah, Brunswick and Darien will
be held in this city on Monday. The meet
ing is at the suggestion Of. DR.. MacFar-
land, local Health Officer, and the propo-
sition was accepted as a timely one by the
authorities Of the neighboring ports.
The chief object of the conference is to
discuss the general sanitation of this part
of the coast, and 10 come to some definite
decision as 10 concert of action in quaran-
tine matters. The proximity OF these
places to one another in point of time
by railroad renders such move
necessary. The recent case of the
Norwegian bark Erbrin illustrated this.
Savannah's health officer and the national
quarantine authorities hearing that the
vessel might be infected with cholera,
coming, as she did, from an infected port,
desired that she be kept out OF port until
disiniected. Some misunderstanding Oc-
CURED during the correspondence that en-
sued. An effort will be made to arrange
matters so that a repetition will not oc-
cur. Some important sanitary questions
Will probably be taken up and at least in
