turns. The interest in the contest for the
doll has been heightened b y the announce

ing donations made yesterday: China tea
set, pickle dish and butter dish, beer set,
barrel Of flour from Jas. McGrath 81 Co.,

won by Miss Julia CircOpely.
The struggle for the gold badge TO be
awarded at the st. Agnes aud Temper
ance table to the most popular of the two
presidents of the Cadet Corps, Is very eX-
citing, ana this feature will net a neat
sum for the table. Miss Clark and her
assistants are energetic and untiring
workers, and their efforts will materially
help the general treasury OF the fair. The
chances on the steel engraving of Parnell

ladies are very earnest and Jealous in
their solicitations, and are determined to
be at the top of the list when the general
result is announced.

turns, which were exceedingly good,
tended to make last nights revenue quite
large.

ing. The quantity and quality of the
liquid dispensed is up to the highest
standard. Letters are held at the post

St. Matthew Sunday School Easter
Festival Last Might.
The St. Matthew's Episcopal Sunday
school held its Easter celebration last
night at the chapel, Huntingdon and TAFT
nall streets. The attendance was not
large. The exercises, however, were
exceedingly interesting. The interior of
the chapel and the organ were very at
tractively decorated. The school sang the
PROFESSIONAL:
Brightly CLEAN our banners,
Pointing to the sky,
Waving wanderers onward,
To their home on high.
JOurn'ing DER the desert,
Gladly thus we pray,
And with hearts united,
Take our hcav'nward way.
After the professional the Lords Prayer
and the collects were reclted and the
evening lesson was read.
The carol, "Chime softly Bells Of Eas-
ter" was then sung, after which follow
ing the Superintendents address.
Another carol, "Children in Heaven"
was then sung when the presentation Of
banners took place. This was very pref
ty part of the celebration. After the creed
came the offertory and the occasional;
Hark! bark. my soul! Angelic songs are
DER earth's green fields and oceans wave
bent shore;
How sweet the truth those blessed strains
are telling
Ofthat new life when sin shall be no more
The occasion was a very happy one for
the st. Matthew's children.

ELEVEN INNINGS PLAYED
THE THIRD SAVANNAH-NASH-
VILE GAME A TIE.

The Visitors Shut Out After Two
Innings-fhe Game Called at the
End of the Eleventh Inning on
Account of Observation-Disclosures
Rowdyish Conduct.
The postponedIgame between Savannah
and Nashville was played yesterday and
resulted in tie in the nineth inning. Az
ter eleven innings the game was called
on account of darkness. Under the asso-
citation rules the tie must be played off on
the home grounds on the first open day in
the schedule. There are no open days in
the Savannah-Nashville series, and the
game will be played in the forenoon Of one
of the July dates, 18th, 18th, 14th and 18th.
1t is hoped that whenever the game is
played it will not be accompanied by any
such rOwdyism as Nashville displayed
Yesterday Base ball in Savannah has a
respectable patronage. The people
patrOnize it as an amusement. A very
few repetiti0ns Of yesterdays scenes will
bring the game into disrepute among the
better class of people.
The game opened with Savannah at the
bat. O'DaY and Stockwell held the points
for the home club and Brynan and Earle
for Nashville. Neither side scored Ia the
first inning. In the second inning the
playing by the home nine
gave them five runs. In the third
inning two more runs were scored. Nash
Vile had a lead Of seven runs when Sa-
Vannah went to the bat in the fourth
inning. Strict and Field both scored.
After the second inning the visitors failed
to get man past third base, and were
shut out the rest of the game. Strict
scored again in the fifth inning, and stock
well and Murray In the sixth. In the
eighth inning Field again crossed the
plate, and Hotaling followed in the ninth,
tying the game.
| In the last two innings neither side
scored. At the end of the eleventh the
! game was called.
The home club really won in the eighth
inning. savannah had scored / run.
Miller was on third base and Stockwell
was on second. Murray went to the bat
the ball to short and reached first
base, but was decided out. The
decision robbed the home club of two
runs, which would have won the game.
The runner not only reached his Dase in
advance of the ball but in taking the
ball the baseman stepped off the bag,
giving the runner the base beyond ques-
ton. The crowd disputed the decision,
and jeered the umpire until he refused to
allow the game to proceed. The crowd
finally quieted down and the game went
on. The visitors started out to win by
bullying. The audience stood it for
awhile until it became disguised and the
players were Kissed every time they came
to the plate. Ladies left the grounds and
the better class of people in the grand
stands were Disguised with the visitors
rowdy1sh conduct. The home club played
ball like men and won commentator TOR
it. The score of the game was as follows:

The Corps Formally Presented with its
New Flag.
Last night the Savannah Cadets gave
splendid exhibition drill at the Oglethorpe
barracks.
Five hundred persons were present
when Gen. A. r. LawtOn presented the
company with the beautiful flag which
the lady friends of the company had
made for IL. The flag is very handsome.
On one side is the coat OF arms OF GeOr-
gia representing the arch sustained by the
three columns, Wisdom, Justice MOdera-
ton. The design is Sed IN colOred
chenille upon the blue silk folds OF the
banner. Gray and gold predominant on
the Georgia side OF the dag. On the other
side are the crossed flags with the mono
gram -. c. surrounded by a wreath.
Gold, and red. and blue in
different shades and white are the prOmi-
nent colOrs on that side. Gold lace trim
ming and gold tassels add to the rich eff
feet and make almost as near an epic in
silk chenille and gold as one can well be
made. The banner was made by Mrs. NJ.
kolb, OF this city, and is highly artistic
piece Of work.
Gen. LawtOn in his presentation speech
said that twenty-siX years ago he pre-.
scented a banner 10 the Ogleih0rpes' on
the same grounds. In that connection he
referred 20 Gen. Barlow and how be Illus
tratod Georgia, as model for the Cadets.

IN behalf OF the Cadets, and be expressed

crcdly as it will be loved fondly"
