WINES A CENTURY OLD.
Savannah Claimes to Have the Oldest
Wines in America.

From he SdUdHHdh Ne,gs.
Savannah is believed to have the old
est wines in America. A well-known
Savannahian, who is connoisseur in
wines, said few days ago that he had
lot of Madeira of the vintage of 1888
over half century ago. There are
wines in Savannah, though, much older
than that. Some of the oldest families
here have Madeira nearly century old.
One gentleman has several lots of the
famous All Saints Madeira, imported in
l701 and 1893, the year of the great
fire in Savannah. Two pipes were i'm
ported that year one for the great grand
father of the late William Gibbons and
one for the father of Nat Hayward a
prominent South Carolina planter. The
night of the fire one pipe was left under
the bluff by mistake and the other was
burned up on the bay. The pipe under
the bluff was divided between Gibbons
and Hayward, has the only fair way Of
settling Stheir loss. The gentleman who
now has several lots of the wine bought
1t in from Gibbons and Heyward's S de-
cendants eighty years after the division.
Then there was the famous Hunter
wine, imported about the same time.
Some of it is still in the hands of the
friends of the family. The
late DR.. De Renne, who inherited some
OF this wine, often offered 500 bottle
for IL.
One gentleman has over twenty lots i'm.
ported from the old Madeira house of
Newton and Gordon from 1902 to 1880.
Savannah was a large wine importing
port a century ago. The following is a
fac-simile of an old bill of lading for an
old shipment Of wine in 1850, the com
pletion of a single order for 500 pipes or

HUNTING VS.. TENNIS.
Why Ladies Should Ride to Hounds in
the South.


From Forest and StreaB.
II has been great surprise to me that,
with all the facilities and material for
field sport, SO little of it is praticed by
the young people who spend their win.
ters in the South. l am sure you will
-sympathise with me in lamenting the
departure from those good old days of
yore, when the hunters horn would
awaken the echoes at early morn to
arouse the tagging out from their downy
beds, to take saddle and away to the
woods while the dew still holds the scent
OF the deer or the fox, which always fed
at night; OF rather very early in the
morning.
What a gay sight it would be to
behold group of well-mounted ladies
in suitable dress, each with her attendant,
lust as the sun peeps above the horison
Of Southern sky; the hunter, with his
trained pack OF hounds, all wild to trail
and start his majesty of the forest. Can
there be any recreation, or any exercise
more conducive to eXuberant health
than an early start, when the forest lies
crisp on every blade of grass and shrub,
and the air is filled with the flight of
all manner Of winged creatures seeking
their feeding grounds for theday, guided
| thither by an unerring hand?
How tame seem the tennis or croquet
grounds. Yet they need not be entirely
| ignored. The tinid ones who delight
in dancing backward and forward to
catch ball, might fill up the leisure
moments that otherwise might hang on
| their hands or quarrel over the order of
play at croquet, which seems TO be more
frequent than the gaining a conquest.
But those who would course in an exct.
| ing ride, when twenty hounds were in
full cry, perhaps see the antlered beauty
as he dashes through some thicket,
would hardly tame down to any of the
games of the day. One good ride of
twenty miles will do more TO harden the
muscles and send the blood coursing on
with new life than all the automaton
| games ever invented,

A business man OF Detroit, who eats in
hurry, dropped lnto one Of our downtown
restaurants at the same time that young
lady entered, and, as 1t happened, the two
were seated at the same table. The business
man being limited in time hastily ordered a
plate Of soup The waiter brought it and
another waiter took the order of the young
lady II was also for soup.
The bus!ness man is fond Of condiments
and he seized the pepper-box from the caster,
prepared TO dash n liberal allowance. lie

box fell into the soup and all the pepper
followed.
Here he called 10 his waiter, stake this
away and bring me another plate OF soup"
II was brought 20 him at the same time that
the young lady received hers. Hearing an eX-
clamatiou OF distress he looked at her and saw
that she was choking. The waiter had given
her bis first plate Of SOUP and, besides being
half strapg!ed by the pepper, she had nearly
swallowed the pepper-box lid.

THE CHAMPION FLOATER.
Ho Voted In Five Different Towns and IL
Two Counties on Nov. g.

From be.N. y. sun.
Beyond question the champion "re-
peater" and "floater" at the late election
lives far away from the wicked precincts
of New York city, and In the staid rural
town of Smithville, Chenango County.
There are good reasons for believing
that this expert practitioner in crooked
and gainful election methods voted full
tickets on November 6 In five different
towns, situated In two counties, and
that every vote brought money. To an
ordinary farm-hand, whose accustomed
wages are $50 month an election-day
harvest like this is wealth indeed.
Our champion voter lives near the
intersection of the lines of three towns.
The Smithville polls.are near, and sunrise
of election day found him there deposit
ing his ballot He made no tarry there,
but struck out on foot for the Melon
ough pools, eight miles distant, and here,
after some mysterious negotiations with
local worker" he voted again.
Another lively tramp Of seven miles
brought him to the town of German
polls, and here the preliminary myster-
ious negotiations and the subsequent
contribution to the contests of the ballot.
box were repeated. The champion had
now exhausted the nearby polling places
in Chenango County, and he moved
across the line into the town of Willet,
Cortland County. Here lie again OK
ercised the glorious right of suffrage,
which is the proud privilege of the
American citizen.
The sun was now declining in the wost,
and the polling-place of the adjoining
town Of Cincinnatus was seven miles
away, but he was anxious to do his whole
duty lie struck out on the muddy roads
at walking-match gait, and got to the
Cincinnatus polls ten minutes before they
were closed. The private interview with
the worker, under these circumstances,
was necessarily brief, but his fifth vote
went into the ballot-box in good time to
be counted.
In telling the story Of his experience to
his cronies, "floaters" like himself, he
gives expression to one ground of COM

Mr.. E, II. sotheru made a palpable hit at
the National last night in his new character
Lord Chumley and there was genuine
ness about the enthusiastic reception accorded
him which must have made him feel good all
over. The play is largely in Mr.. Sothern,s
hands and he handles II admirably. The vii
lain of William Archer, the Adam Butter1corh
of Mr.. G. b. Bishop and Mr.. George Baclius as
Blink Blank were good, as were the parts OF
the others in greater or less degree. The play
is one that may be heard twice, something un-
usual in modern comedies. Again Tonight.

The fairy spectacle Of "a Midsummer

interspersed with bright music, and affording
an opportunity for some good acting on the
part of few members OF the cast. Miss
katherine Afford makes beautiful Helena in
grace of person and delineation Of the char
acter, while Miss Minnie Seligman as Hernia
was also pleasing. The dancing OF Miss Hat
tie Harvey as Puck was an epitome OF grace
itself, and she received deserved encores. The
scenic effects Of the play are most beautiful In
their construction, and the panorama OF the
fairies trip is a gorgeous spectacle. Inc
work Of the horny handed sons of tollin their
