THE PORT socIETYs WORK.
The Fair Nets the Society $6oo-The
New Home.

The Fair Nets the Society $6OO-The
New Home.
The Port Society fair last week netted
the society over 5000.
This is encouraging to the members, II
said Chaplain Gilmore last night. 1.-THE
fair in every way was a big success, and
the ladies are to be praised for it, We have
now over 100 members in the society, and
they are working assiduously for it.
Within twelve months the number OF visit
ors to the Seamans' Rest has been SO greatly
augmented that the society is thinking seri-
ously Of securing other and more spacious
quarters for Sailors Home. At present
it has in view the large brick building at
the southwest corner of Lincoln and Bay
streets On the first floor will be reading
rooms and Offices. On the second floor will
be private rooms for captains and other
officers, while the third floor will be given
wholly to the sailors.
With small cost. the chaplain said, the
building can be renovated and fitted up for
the purposes of home, and it is pretty
certain that the society will do it. 1t has
a surplus, he said, and although not SUI
ficient to carry out the project,
it would help it along coIIsid-
erably, aud with what subscriptions
the society might be able to get. Mr.. Gil
more thinks that there will be no trouble in
getting the new building. He has been to
Charleston and saw how the seamen's rest
was arranged there, and was very favor
ably impressed with the arrangement. He
says that the building is much larger, and
the room better furnished there
than the rooms hero are, although
a much larger number of sailors come to
Savannah.
The large number Of sailors who visit
the Rest here is due to the untir-
ing efforts If Chaplain Gilmore. He has
devoted himself wholly to the society Is
work since he became its chaplain, and be-
ing an old sailor himself he understand
their likes and dislikes and how to enter
tain them. He said last night that he has
tho consent of almost every captain that
comes to Savannah, to make the Rest
headquarters if the rooms are ample and
sufficiently furnished. After the move
is thoroughly inaugurated, the chap
lain will endeavor to have sleeping
apartments in the house and for the tive
months in the year that the seamen sleer
on shore, they will be able to secure quart
ers there. In the absence of quarters, sucL
as the chaplain speaks OF furnishing, the
sailors have now to sleep in boarding
houses and hotels.
Mr. Gilmore has made an estimate Of
what it cost the crews of fourteen vessels
to lodge in Savannah six week.
aud it approximates 81, 900. This is a very
large sum, much too large, he says, whe
quarters can be given them where they viii
all be together at a much smaller sum.

a MESSAGE FROM FRANZ LIST.
The Chickering His Choice


OF these priceless letters there is one in this
country which has an interest for all lovers
of music, as well as for the special wor-
shippers of the immortal pianist. Nor will 1t DO
considered less worthy OF perusal that it refers
almost entirely to his favorite instrument and
to the fact, Of which we may all be proud, that
American skill and American taste had pro-
duced the one most worthy OF his matchless
touch and his very cordial praise. Following is
the translation of q letter written from the

hessrs. Chickering Dc Sons:
1t is very agreeable to me to add my name to
the concert OF praises of which your pianos are
the object
To be just, must declare them perfect per-
fectissime (superlatively perfect
There is no quality which is foreign to them
Your instruments possess in supreme degree
nobility and power of tone, elasticity and Sc
curity of touch harmony, brliaucy, solidity,
charms and prestige; and thus offer an har-
monious ensemble of perfection, to the exclu-
sion of all defects.
Pianists of the least pretentions will find
means of drawing from them agreeable effects;
and in face of such products-which truly do
honor to the art of the construction of instru-
ments-the role of the critic is as simple as that
of the public; the one has but TO applaud them
conscientouSly and with entire satisfaction,
and the other but to procure them in the same
manner.
In congratulatng you sincerely upon the
great and decisive success obtained at the Elk
position at Paris, ! am pleased to anticipate
Che happy continuation of the same in all places
where your pianos will be heard; and beg that
you accept gentlemen, the expression of my
most distinguished sentiments OF esteem ana
