PROF. BEARDsLEEs BAND.
Two Hundred Youthful Voices at Ma
sonic Hall.

The childrens jubilee concert at Masonic
Hall last night was greeted by a full house.
The entertainment was something out of
the usual order, and the audience was so
well pleased with it that at the close q
motion was made and adopted requesting
Prof. Beardslee to give a repetition of it at
an early date. To this Prof. Beardslee con-
scented, and he will probably repeat the con-
cert next Tuesday evening.
The grand entry was we'll worth seeing
The children marched into the hall in single
file, each bearing a lighted taper The
stage was arranged SO that each tier of
seats was higher than the other, and pre-
senting the appearance of gallery filled
from floor to ceiling with children. AS
they took their places in the gallery, still
carrying the lighted tapers, the signt was
unusually brilliant aud effective.
The first number on the programme was
the Greeting Glee, to the tune of "Old
Folks, and the chorus of sweet voices and
the gleesome manner OF the children, were
both captivating and refreshing They
sang number of songs full of merry
beauty, all of which were well received.
Particularly good was the rendering Of
'Sweet Home" to the tune of "School
Chimes" 1t is melody to entice the ear,
and when sung by youthful voices, is ire
sistible. In the chanting of the Twenty
third Psalm, the voices kept we'll together,
and suiting their actions to the words, the
devotional attitude assumed by the singers
was very impressive.
1.-THE Photograph and "Mr and Mrs.
Brown both of them Duets, were we'll re-
ceived, as was also the Minute Gun at
Sea-" sung by Prof. Beardslee and Mr.. w.
E. SWANSON, Other delightful songs and
choruses followed The entertainment
closed with the doxology, sung with telling
effect by the wel-trained chorus of several
hundred young voices.
Prof. Beardslee and his band deserve
credit for their ability to sing so sweetly
and acquit themselves so nicely.
1t may be said that it is impossible for
any one to sit and listen to such music sung
by such a chorus of sweet young voices
without being benefited. Noue who at.
tended last night but went away with
lighter hearts. Brimful Of joy themselves,
the children made all about them yield to
their influence

NEW SOUTHERN WORDS.
Picked from Charles Egbert Craddock's
Novels.
Fronl Me Mashpille .American,

From the Nashville american.
A letter from gentleman of this city
with regard to the article on Miss Murfree's
new words, reprinted from the New York
Independent in the American of April 90,
gives soma valuable information. | have
hitherto sought in vain for the locality
where Miss Murfree's ''deedien is used In
the summer of 1885 made inquiries among
the mountaineers of the Smokes but could
find no one who knew the word. But now
a gentleman who travelled for several years
IN Eastern Kentucky says that ''deedie" is
common enough in Pike, Martin, Floyd and
johnson counties of that State. NY in
formant thinks it 'purely a mountain word
not much used along the Big Sandy river,
except in imitation of those who live at
some distance from it," He states that
decide is also used in North Alabama
The same authority states that "spuntruck"
is common in the Kentucky counties men
toned above. l was sure that Miss Murfree
had not coined either of the above words,
though | had not heard them used. | am
glad now t. confess my error in charging
her with coming the words "buzzardy' and
"foreshortly." My correspondent says
"'buzzardy' has only been used by negroes
In my presence while the captain of hoe
gang ''often said 'foreshortly' for immedl-
ately, when he affected great impressive
ness"
am reminded by this letter that have
several times been told, after criticislng Miss
Murfree's or some other persons use Of dia-
lect, that | was in error about some of the
words, but l have rarely been able to get
any definite information. And yet it would
seem to be SO easy for any one who has
heard a word to state how and where it was
used. Nor is the matter unimportant A
recent letter from one of the workers on the
great Century Dictionary showed that an
article on 'Southernismsn was being con-
suited in compiling this mammoth lexicon.
Any of us may contribute to the accuracy
of that and similar works. ] would esteem
it great favor to be corrected by anybody
as 10 the use of any provincialisms, and to
receive from any source lists of unusual
words. Two cases would have taught me,
if the lesson had not already been learned,
the necessity of care in making assertions
about the use of words. | was on the point
of DENYING the use of "ton for ''atn in a GER
tain part of the South, but fortunately found
occasion to correct it III the very children
around me before referring to it in print
After criticising Miss Murfree for making
one of her characters say: "Ef Wander air
lef' be" Oct be-, was amused to hear the
expression drop naturally from the lips of
the little negro who opened the Vanderbilt
main gate.
A letter just received from Charleston,
S. c., informs me that Needle is a name
given to little chickens in Berkeley county,
South Carolina.

THEZINGASPRETIYR RACE
THE ISLE OF HOPE YACHT CLUBS
ANNUAL REGATTA.

The Zlnga, Gertrude, Irez and Sun
shine the Winners-A Calm at the
Start, but Pretty Race at the Finish
"A Delightful Day on the Water
How the Yachts Sailed.
The seventh annual regatta of the Isle of
Hope Yacht Club was sailed yesterday
afternoon. About $50 people went down
by train, and the st. Nicholas took down a
boat load of ladies and gentlemen, and
with the members of the club the after
noon was enjoyable. The Union Cornet
Band furnished music for the occasion.
The st. Nicholas made the round trip with
the sailers, and TIE interest must have
been very great, for the judges failed to
make any entries on the score sheet except
the time of starting, leaving the time
keepers TO record the arrival of the returning
yachts. In fact the Ocean Queen, the first of
the cabin yachts to cross the line, reached
the pavilion where the time-keepers were
stationed about as soon as the st. Nicholas,
and the Wanderer, the last yacht to cross
the line, was only about % minutes behind.
The st. Nicholas was hard aground, and the
MORNING NEWS reporter was compelled to
come away without getting the starting
time of the Zinga and Thistle, although they
got of within ten seconds of each other.
SLOW IN STARTING.
The race was a closely contested one
There being deal calm, the yachts were
slow in getting off, but a southeast wind
began blowing, and the sailing was fair
going down. 1t got better all the time, and
was excellent on the return.
The following were the entries in the
first class cabin yachts, 80 feet and over,
prize $40: Ocean Queen, SO feet inches,
r. NJ. Demere; Glance 81 feet 81 inches,
F. S. Lathrop; Wanderer, 81 feet, L. Harris
horne; J. NJ. Waterbury, 80 feet inches,
w. j. Waterbury; Zinga, 30 feet, j. H
Dews, and Thistle, 30 feet, r. G. Strachan.
The time allowance in all the races was 6
seconds per foot to tho mile.
The course was from the Isle of Hope
Club pavilion, around the Warsaw spit
buoy and return, II Is nautical miles. The
Yachts got off well together, the difference
between the first and last vessel being only
about minutes, and they finished with
difference Of about % minutes and 48
| seconds between the Ocean Queen the first
to cross the line and the Wand erer the last.
The Zinga won the race over the Thistle
with nearly three minutes to spare. While
the Glance beat the Zinga in the Savannah
Yacht Club regatta at Thunderbolt ON the
10th, the Zinga gave her rival much worse
defeat yesterday.
The Sailing Committee had not completed
its calculations last night when the trains
for the city left Isle of Hope, but the tables
that follow will closely approximate the
result, and will not materially be changed
by the clubs official score. The following
is the time of the yachts as they came in

Two Uninstructed Delegations
Claimed for Norwood-Pierce and

Counties Yet to be Heard From
The Convention Outlook.
Mcintosh county elected Gordon delegates
TO the Brunswick convention yesterday
Out of the eight counties that have elected
delegates Gordon has carried four, and he
has majority of the instructed delega-
tions. The following special to the MORN
mo NEWS shows how Mcintosh went
yesterday:
DARIEN, May %, 1888
At a large and enthusiastic meeting OF the
Democratic party OF Mcintosh county to-day
for the purpose of selecting delegates 10 the Con-
gressional conve ntion, Senator William Henry
Atwood was elected chairman, and Charles "
TYSON secretary. The Norwood men nominated
ticket, but discovering that they were a hope
less minority, withdrew gracefully, and the fol-
lowing staunch Gordon delegates were elected
by reclamation:
James K. Clarke, Adam Strain,
W a. Wilcox, c. II. Hopkins,
Spalding keenan,, William Henry Atwood,
W. c. Wyly, James L. Foster.
The result shows, as was predicted, that Nc.
IntoSh is for Gordon beyond any doubt.
In the uninstructed delegations so far
chosen Gordon has 10 votes, Norwood
and Nichols 2. The Bulloch and Scriven
delegations are uninstructed, but they are
claimed for Mr.. Norwood. The following

Barney Robertson (colored) was arrested
yesterday at Browns barroom on Bryan
street, near jefferson, on warrant issued
in Justice Patterson's court, charging
Robertson with gambling. The prisoner wns
given an examination and was bound over
in the sum Of $50 for his appearance in the
City Court for trial. The gambling party,
five all told, all Of whom were arrested on
May Z, were engaged in throwing dice on
Hutchinson's Island. Robertson succeeded in
eluding the constables until yesterday
When he made his statement, he said /:
'Bein' / is rested I'll let de whole cat out
NV de wallet" He denied the story that
the other boys put up, which
was, that they threw dice to see who would
pay for as much beer as the crowd could
drink. Robertson denied this, and said that
the party was putting up money, and every
time throw was made the loser gave the
winner the change. IAN if dat ain gam
lin said Robertson, "den l knows muffin

him, and bound him over.
