A HEAVY REGISTRATION.

City Liquor Dealers Prompt, but
County Dealers Delinquent.
The liquor dealers made run on the
ordinary's Office yesterday, and at the clos
ing hour last night the to 5al registration of
the day footed UP 129, anincrease of 81
over the first day of registration, and
total for the first two days of 204.
Thus far none of the out-of-town liquor
dealers have applied to Capt. Dillon for
blanks to apply to the board OF county
commissioners for licenses, ana as the
licenses of all country dealers in liquors
expired at midnight last night they will be
running quite risk if they continue to
retail liquors after their license has expired,
as it is misdemeanor under the code. and
subject themselves upon conviction to iine
of not to exceed 81 900, and Imprisonment
not to exceed six months to work on the
chain-gang, or both these punishmentS may
ma ordered in the discretion of the judge.

"Bootles' Baby" which scored such
signal success at the Madison Square theater
last summer and fall, will be the attraction
at the theater Tonight The play was
given in Charleston night before last, and
the NetOs and Courier says of 1t and the
performance: "The play is a dramatiza-
ton Of j. Strange Winters story of that
name, aud, although the play shows no
great skill Of plot or intrigue, it introduces
hero as perfect as could be desired. a
villain of as brutal heartlessness as is pos
slble to imagine, a helpless and suffering
mother, and other interesting char acters.
The play as presented won the deserved
praise of all. The company is without
hardly an exception, strong, and each Of
the actors is an accomplished artist. The
star, the center of every ones admiration,
was little Miss Lena Bereisen, who was
Bottles baby, 'Mignon.' She was as
natural and as timid as a child, but at the
same time acted with the art of a trained
artistic, and without hesitation may her per-
tormance be termed truly wonderful.
Gabrielle DuSauld had difficult role in
Helen Grace which she acted satisfac-
torily. The costumes Of the company were
beautiful and strikingly brilliant To sum-
marie, the play was magnifcently pre-
scented by a magnificent company of actors. y

The Princeton Bows.

The Princeton University Glee Club
will give its first concert in Savannah at
the theater tomorrow night. The club is
composed Of undergraduate students, and
their reception in Baltimore, Washington,
and Richmond last week was a continual
ovation. They were handsomely enter
tanned and greeted with large and delighted
audiences. The club will be entertained in
Savannah at the De Soto, and the
public will be glad to welcome
college students from old Princeton,
that for long years has been
identified with the south by large body
of alumni. The music of every college is a
new world Of song, a ID the peculiar charm
of the strange new melodies of college life,
and the strange and new rendition of the
old melodies make an evening with the
College Glee Club one of rare delight and
happiness. Princeton has now the cham
pionship in football, wrested from Yale on
Thanksgiving day, on the Berkeley Oval, u
before $4,000 spectators. II Princeton
sings her college melodies in the superb
way she kicks the magical football, this
visit will long be rememberedin Savannah.

The Pony and Dog Show.

Prof. Morris and his equine and canine
artists played to two large audiences at the
Bazaar hall yesterday and last night. The
performances were even mora interesting
than that on Monday night. A special
New Years matinee will be given
to-day and a New Years performance
tonight. Prof. Morris has great
command over MS animals, and has been
known to make horse follow him by
merely staring in his eyes. His judgment
in selecting those suitable for his purpose is
also very fine, and he seems to know just
whether or not an animal is worth the
trouble of teaching by looking at it. One
notable feature of the exhibition which dis
tinguishes it from others in the same line
was that the professor seemed to be regarded
with the utmost affection by both the dogs
and horses, and not once was the whip
brought into reQuiSitiOn.

at the hotel yesterday afternoon for the

summation is this day sgnalized AS long as

your public spirit. Throughout all the per-
picking difficulties which have beset this enter
prise fro its inception, your uniform courtesy
toward your associates, your Difference always

charge of your onerous duties have not only
commanded our admiration, but have won as
well our lasting gratitude and affection AS a
deeply felt to be fifty expressed, the board of
directors and building committee ask you to
accept this silver bowl.
Mr.. Conner was taken wholly by surprise,
but he spoke briefly In reply. He thanked
his friends for their remembrance, and for
the complimentary words in which their
present had been conveyed to him. He said
that much of the praise given him was due
to others, and that to the architect, the
contractors, and his coadjutors in the enter
prise, and the liberality of the people
Of Savannah was to be attributed the com
pletion of the magnificent structure which
