Boat to Sail the Mecca.
The Neca sailed up from Tybee roads YES
terday afternoon in one hour and twenty
minutes, faster than the time of the big
steamships. flying the game cock banner
and champion" pennant.
She had, among other guests on board
Mr.. t. j. Pollard and Miss Ida Pollard of
Atlanta, and Miss Lena Daniels and Miss
Carrie Mccoy of Savannah. Capt. Thomp-
sons family was in the party.
The Mecca will moor at the cotton ex-
change dock this morning, and during the
day Capt. Thompson will entertain the lady
friends of the Neca, and the ladies of
Savannah are invited to visit the champion
craft. The Neca will sail in the july
regatta for the Tybee colors, and challenges
anything of her length from Portland, Me.
to jacksonville, Fla, to take the Tybee
colors from her. A painting of the Neca is
on exhibition in Theus Bro. g show window
on Bull street.
Frank Kressell. Jr., owner of the Sophie
Amelia K. of Charleston, who witnessed
the Tybee regatta last Thursday, offered to
wager $1,000 that his boat can beat the
Mecca over the old Charleston regatta
course from Martins Industry to Rattle

Thompson of the Neca declined to sail for

Hotel Tybee.

The new and elegant hotel, "Tybee," was
opened to the public on Thursday-only for
accommodation, Mr.. Dub informs us. 1t
was not in running order by any means; in
fact it required a superhuman effort to
have the doors open at all at that date, but
the house will be formally opened by May
10. Long and loud were the praises sung
by the many strangers who inspected its
commodious accommodations on Thursday,
and while it was apparent the house was
not ready for the reception of guests, its
possibilities and capabilities were apparent
at a glance. and in a few days the noisy
click of the hammer will be exchanged for
the rustling of soft silks, the dim light of
the unfinished gas rivaled by bright eyes,
dancing feet keep time to strains of sweet
music, and weary eyes lulled to sleep by the
sweet melodies of the sea song. Already a
great part Of the house has been engaged
for the season, and every day anxious COM
fort seekers are to be seen selecting their
rooms for the season. We are pleased to
hear some of the best citizens of Savannah
are locating themselves there. and the
house will be filed with our best people,
and will be kept IN q first-class manner
without regard to expense.-Adu.
