RACES AT THUNDERBOLT.
A Big Crowd Attends the Second
Days Events.

A Big Crowd Attends the Second
Days Events.
A very large crowd visited the Merchants
week races at the driving park yesterday
afternoon, and everything passed Off salts
factorilv.
The first race in the programme was the
free for all mile dash. Nordeck, r. B. G.
and Dandy were the starters, the other en-
tries having been withdrawn. The race was
very pretty one and fine exhibition of
running. r. B. G. and Nordeck ran neck
and neck the entire mile, and it was o ly
within few lengths Of the wire that R. B.
G. took tho lead and won from Nordeck by
a nose.
R. B. G. came in first, with Nordeck sec
ond and Dandy third. Time 2:04
The half mile heat race proved very
exciting. The bay mare Maude,
owned by Mr.. H. Madden of
Charleston, proved too much for
the others by winning in straight heats.
Nordeck ran close second, with One Eye
third, and Dandy fourth. The time Of the
heats was IS seconds and 81 seconds.
The last race Of the afternoon was the
three-minute trotting race, and it was a
horse race from start TO finish
In the preliminary jig before the rae,
the driver OF Tip met with an accident
The bit broke and he was thrown from his
sulky. The horse ran few times around
the track but was caught, no serious dam
age being done TO either driver or horse
The starters in this race were Tip, Little
Dick, Geo. Washington aid Tom II. TIP,
in drawing for positions, had the pole, with
Dick second, Washington third and Tom R.
ON the outside.
After a few scores, the word was
given for the first. heat. Tip at
once took the lead aud won with
ease, Washington second and Tom R.
third. Dick was distanced The time was
3:05. In the second heat, Tip did not have
it his own mile. Tom R. proved himself
quite trotter. The heat was very exciting,
as both horses were close together the en-
tire way. Tip was first to the string, but
as he ran good deal, the judges set him
back and called the heat a
dead heat. Washington was distanced.
In the fourth heat Tip and Tom r. did
some fine trotting A blanket would have
covered them the entire mile until within
few yards Of the judges stand, when Tom
r. shot TO the front and won the heat by a
neck. The time was 3 minutes.
In the fifth heat the bay gelding Tip had
an easy victory. Tom R. got mixed in his
gait in the first quarter. caused by a boot
turning on his knee, and this proved fatal
to the little gray and he was distanced.
Tip was declared the winner of the heat
and race. The time was 500.

Merchants Week Notes.

In accordance with request from Mayor
Schwarz and Chairman H. w. Palmer, the
directors of the board of trade decided to
close the rooms of the board of trade during
to-day.
There is report through the Brunswick
Times that the Glynn County Gun Club
would have attended Fridays tournament
here, but could not make satisfactory
arrangements in regard to rules with the
Forest City Club, and has decided not
to attend. President Kieffer of the Forest
City Gun Club has never received any COM
munication from the Glynn club in regard
to the match or rules. An invitation was
extended to all gun clubs by the managers
Of Merchants week, and the acceptance of
the invitation by the Glynns was, of course,
at their own pleasure. President Kieffer
says that his club is ready at any or all
times to meet the Glynn club

It's New Rooms Opened During the
Gen. Johnston Reception.
To the members Of the Oglethorpe Club
an interesting feature of last nights recep-
ton was the opening of the second story Of
the De Renne building as part of the club
rooms.
The Bull street entrance was closed and
that on Broughton admitted members and
guests. A new and imposing stairway con-
ducts to the last story, until recently occu-
pied by other organizations, which have
sought quarters elsewhere. This story is
now divided into a restaurant, private din
ing-rooms, kitchen and store-rooin, and the
main department on Broughton street will
be devoted to the use of those who enjoy a
library and reading room. All are furn-
ished elegantly, and without the counting
Of cost.
The private banquet room was christened
last night by wedding anniversary party,
given by Mr.. Frank Beattey, who welded
Miss O'Driscoll year ago. The reception

place where King Arthur
Lay doing in the vale OF Avalon
And watched by waking queens.
THE REPRESENTATION.
The float represented an upper and lower
terrace of white marble, with red panels
on which were golden dragons and other
figures On the lower terrace was a blue
and gold lounge On this Arthur lay and
the queens hung around him In the center
of the upper terrace was a great golden
dragon, with water pouring from its
mouth. In the rear Of the float was a beau
tiful arrangement of golden figures. Three
figures of men clad in gold on either side
supported an arch richly ornamented in
gold. On the summit of the arch stood the
golden figures Of a woman and one reclined
on the curve of the arch on each side. In
the side of the float on either side, cut into
the white marble. were recesses lined with
gold. In these recesses reciined other female
figures dressed in cloth Of gold.

THE REVIEW AT THE PARK.
1t was after II o'clock before the process
sion reached the park, and it was midnight
before the grand review was over
and the parade was dismissed. The
torchlight division led the procession and
entered the Park extension from the west
side Of Hall street. The floats en-
tered at the southern end, and
crossing the extension passed on
| review down the lines Of torch-bearers. The
| float "The World" which formed part of
the Central railroad display in the trades
procession on Tuesday, and which
was one of the most admired
of the floats, was at the head
Of the procession. After passing in review,
the floats returned to their rendezvous, and
the torchlight parade was,dismissed. Forty
thousand people witnessed the review.
The parade ground was a dense living
mass and shouts of applause and cheers
greeted the procession as it moved along.
/ The display was q success of which not only
the carnival committee of Merchants
week, but of which the entire city, may
be proud. 1t had its defects and it was
| given under many difficulties, but in spite
| Of everything it was grand success. The
low branches and the dense foliage OF the
trees on nearly every street, and the
low wires OF the telegraph, telephone
and electric light companies made it almost
| impossible to plan line OF march, and as
it was several Of the tall floats were dam
aged.
