The Perfection Nozzle,

The chief engineer and the committee on
fire department gave test of the new Per-
lection nozzle at the corner of st. John and
Portland streets with view of purchasing
them for the use of the department if they
proved satisfactory. The Perfection con-
sists of a nickel plated frame not unlike an
old fashioned shawl strap In form, fitted
with ribs and straps. A length of hose is
laid on the holder and the short nozzle
screwed directly to the butt of the hose, in
stead of there being from six to two feet OF
discharge pipe between to take the pressure
off. By the use of the Perfection, full water
machine was operated by the inventor, Mr..
c. r. Robinson Of East Concord. N. II. The
first test was hydrant stream through 80
foot length of hose, playing with II inch
nozzle. 1t was entirely successful, Mr.. Rob-
inson handling the stream with perfect ease.
A three way Siamese coupling was then at
tached, three lines being joined into one and
deluge nozzle, II inches in diameter at
tached. This like the first was perfect
success. No attempt was made to measure
the distance either vertically or horizontally,
the principal point noted being the solidity
and effectiveness of the stream as 1t left the
nozzle. A Pinch nozzle was then put on and
the water started again. This stream car
ried nearly as far as the smaller one and was
remarkably solid. In all Of these tests the
pipe was rested on the ground by an iron
support, but this can be telescoped inside,
and the pipe held easily by one man. By a
hook attachment 1t can be clamped to the
rung of ladder and turned in any direc-
ton, thas making serviceable water tower.
The main point claimed for this invention is
the economy of manual force required to
operate 1t, one man, or at most. two, with
the Perfection nozzle being equal to four or
six men without it. The nozzle is manufac-
tured by Samuel Eastman & Co.. of East
Concord, N. H., and although it has only
been patented two months, over 200 have al
ready been sold. The Portland Fire Depart
ment will doubtless also be equipped with

A LIVELY YACHTING SEASON.
The Annual Thunderbolt Regatta On

The Annual Thund erbolt Regatta On
May 16-The Pilots Race.
The board of stewards of the Savannah
Yacht Club held an interesting meeting
yesterday forenoon at the Office of Isaac
Beckett, Esq. and decided to hold the an
nual regatta on Thursday, May 16. The
board also decided to build floating land
ing stage at the club house. Much annoy
ance has resulted in embarlKing and disem-
barking from the club house steps on &C.
count of the mud deposited on the steps by
the rise and fall of the tides, which will be
obviated by the floating stage.
Commodore Kinsey announced that he
was authorized to offer $3.50 in prizes for a
pilot boat regatta from Tybee on May s.
drummers' day-and it was decided to have
a pilot boat regatta under the auspices and
rules of the Savannah Yacht Club. The
details of the race were placed in the hands
of the sailing committee of the club, which
is composed of Messrs. c. A. Marmelstein,
Isaac Beckett and Julian Schley.
The pilot boat race is to be open to all
pilot boats on the South Atlantic coast. 1t
is said that Charleston will send over three
of her fastest sailers, and that Brunswick
will enter some Of her fleetest vessels.
The indications point to a revival of in

TYBRE'S NEW HOTEL.
A Visit to "rhe Seashore"-Tybee's
Bright Prospects.


The new hotel at Tybee is being pushed
forward much more rapidly than those
who have not recently visited the island are
aware. The large force which was engaged
in leveling the sand hills in front of the
hotel has been considerably reduced, as that
work is nearly completed.
The contractors for the building are push
ing their part of the work with consider
able energy, and there Is every prospect of
the hotel being completed in time for the
great rush of visitors IN midsummer. The
dining-room, the kitchen and other
rooms connected with the culinary depart
ment are plastered and the gas piping is in
place. The large bake oven and the i'm
mense brick smoke stack, containing seven
fiues, will be finished to-day. The studding
for the front of the third story of the hotel
is up In fact, every part of the work of
construction is in an advanced state, and
the next two weeks will show the building
so far completed that to the Impractical eve
it will appear as though there is little more
to be done to make it ready for guests The
contractors, however, have two months
more in which to complete the work
The artesian well, which is to supply the
hotel with water, has reached depth of
$50 feet 1t is six inches in diameter, and
when finished, will send forth an ample sup
ply of good water. Adjacent to the hotel are
two natural parks, in which live oaks, pines,
palmettoes, and other trees, mingle their
| foliage. The ground is undulating, and
from the tops of the verdure-covered dunes,
| there is a fine view of the ocean, There
| will be no lack Of variety of scenery at
"The Seashore Hotel" The conventional
stroll along the sandy beach can be varied
by delightful walk in the shady parks.
j. j. Dale, Esq, president, and Mr. David
Wells, director of the Tybee Hotel Com
pany, visited the work yesterday and ex-
pressed themselves well satisfied with its
progress. These gentlemen are devoting
much of their valuable time to this labor of
love. The building Of "The Seashore''
marks an era in the history of Savannah,
as well as in the development of the city's
popular seaside resort.
