Mementoes of the Times When Mems
Souls Were Tried.
The visit Of Mr.. Davis has revived many
incidents of the late war and its closing
scenes. They are pleasant to tell Of,
though they are always Swallowed with
sorrow.
In 1865, when Mr.. Davis was made to
suffer for mis- peoples cause, Mrs. Davis
sought a refuge in this city. She was not
permitted, however, even in her great dis.
tress, to remain. Secretary stanton,
with his characteristic inhumanity. or
dered that she be sent beyond the Federal
lines. Kind friends escorted her and her
little baby to the home OF the late George
Sehley, Esq, near Augusta, where she
was received and cared for until she
could return to her home.
Among those who knew Mrs. Davis at
that time was Maj. w. r. Shellman, Of
this city, and that lady gave him photo
graph carries de visites) Of herself and
the baby, now Miss Winnie Davis. The
Major has carefully preserved the treas
ure, and he took occasion on meeting Miss
Davis few days since TO show IL 10 her.
Miss Davis was delighted TO see the pic
ture and to meet the gallant Major.

THE GUN CLUB CONTEST.
The Last Day Of the Interstate
Shooting Tournament.

The Last Day OF the Interstate
Shooting Tournament.
Yesterday was the third aud last day OF
the Interstate shotgun shooting tourna-
ment which has been in progress at the
Chatham Gun Clubs park, under the au-
spices of the National G11S Association.
The weather was all that could ~ desired
and the attendance was good. The crowd
OF spectators would have been much
larger had it not been for the numerous
counter attractions. The crowd OF ardent
and enthusiastic spOrtsmen who have
daily visited the PARK, however, absorbed
IN their own pet diversion, cared little for
the attendance OF nOn-participants Indeed
the average shotgun enthusiast rather
! looks with pity ank commiseration on
those whose tastes do not lie in the dIrec.
ton Of field sports.
Most of the matches yesterday were in
divldual sweepstakes contests made up
on the ground, it having been found mex
pedlent TO follow in full the programme as
mapped out by the executive committee.
The contest for the $3.50 national dia-
moud badge and championship, offered bv
the hgOwski Company, did not come off,
there not being sufficient entries in this
match to Justify contest for so valuable
trophy. In its stead, however, was very
vidual championship contest for hand
some gold medal offered by the Chatham
| Club, the entrance money being also in
! cluded. This handsome token of distinction
was won by Mr.. g. b. Westcott, of the
| Chatham Club of this city. Won in
holly contested match, in which there
were some fifteen entries, comprising
some of the very best and most distin-
| gushing shots there are IN the South, it is
indeed high honor, and will be wOrthily
worn by the winners.
The following were the chief events of
the day:

Savannah Society HonOrs the En-
Presidents Daughter.
The biggest society event of Centennial
week was a german given at the Guards
Armory between u and O'Clock yester-
day afternoon in honor OF Miss Winnie
Davis, daughter of the South's eX-Presi-
lGent. Much has been written recently OF
the ex-Presidents beautiful daughter,
and Savannah society was anxious to
honor her.
1t was found that the german would
either have to be during the day or not at
all, and so the rather unconventional hour
FOl midday was chosen. So many things
have been arranged for the evenings OF
this week that a ball at night would have
icOnf1icted with other events. A ball,
seen by sun light, seems not quite so brill
iaut as one held under gas light. Two
hundred merry dancers and not a full
dress evening suit Or q decOllette costume
is something seldom seen.

was stationed in the gallery and played
sweet music.

man with Miss Davis. She wore a white
ydress, with a bouquet OF roses in her sash.

RARE GEMS OF ART.
New Attractions at the TeIfair Acad-
envy.


envy.
The art of miniature painting on ivory,
which was so much esteemed before pho
Biography came into vogue, has been en-
tireIy neglected by artists OF the present
time. 1t is therefore most gratifying to
those who can appreciate this beautiful
art, now and then to see specimens of this
the most delicate branch of painting.
Yesterday three examples were added
10 those already loaned to the Telfair
Academy of Arts and Sciences by Gen.
Sorrel, Mrs. Elliott, Capt. Tatnall and
Mr.. Edward Neufville, which have not
failed to attract attention, particularly
on account Of the history connected with
the persons represented by the portraits.
Those added yesterday, however, are not
alone interesting ON account of the person
portrayed, but because they are gems of
art such as are rarely met with in this
country, and can only be seen in the col
lections of the nobility or in the museums
of Europe.
The miniature of NADINE la Comptesse
de Chateaublond, painted in France at
the time of the revolution, 1892, is a most
exquisite specimen of this almost lost
art. The one of the Marquise de Cara
dene, is a most charming picture, the
a grand salon of the time. The Marquise
is represented as sitting on a gold and
blue damask chair, near a harpsicOrd, 0ne
hand resting on the instrument, the other
holding a piece of music. The white
dress with its rich lace and her head
dress of powdered tresses a la pompadour,
| is charming setting for the delicate and
pure complexion. which makes one regret
| that our ladies could not persuade Worth
! to reintroduce so becoming a fashion, and
| that artists do not, now as of old, prac-
tice miniature painting and connoiseurs
| encourage them.
A third miniature, lie Compile de Cara
| dene, has also merit, as work of art.
The two last are set in rich cases OF
| gold and tortoise. They are loaned by
! Mr.. J. Gerard Hayward, of Savannah.
| The Director OF the Academy in the name
! of the managers, desires to express their
thanks for the loan OF these treasures.
