| clubs. hotels and other places or resort
throughout the city. The interest is, com
| paratively speaking, as great as in presi-
Dental contest, because it seems TO be the
tacit understanding all around that the re-
| suits in New York and Ohio this year will
have tremendous effect on the next presi-
Dental election. The greater attention is
being Psid TO Ohio, because it is thought
! that Tanmahy Ia powerful enough
to carry New York. The move
ments of Campbell and Mckinley
are being watched closely. and the daily
| newspaper accounts are read with
as much interest as il the fight was home
one. Bets are being made on all sides, and
ter election. The odds here were
on Mckinley at the opening Of the
campaign. but now bets are even.
and some enthusiastic democrats have
offered to give odds on Campbell. The
governors great confidence about his re-
election is making McKinley's hackers feel
little shaky, but still they point to his
| great race for congress last year in the
| gerrymaudered district as an evidence of the
| popular hold he has upon the people of
| Ohio. The saloons are making arrange

! audiences, and at the same time turn many
a penny.
When Bull street has been paved, which
| will be in a couple Of months, Savannah
will have the most picturesque street in the
country. The paving, the preliminary
| work for which is now in progress, will be-
gin next week. and will
| be completed by New Years
| Ths paving will be extended from Harris
street to Forsyth park as soon as it has
been finished to Liberty street. The pres

only from Bay to Congress streets ami from

council is in favor Of continuing the pave
ment to the park, and an ordinance
TO that effect will be introduced
as soon as the present contract
is under way. When Bull street has been
paved the city will consider the repaving OK
Drayton or Whitaker streets, either with
sheet asphalt or asphalt blocks. Alderman
Harmon is ia favor of the block pave
ment for tneSs streets. The Hall street
she'll pavement has been finished
and Bolton street is now being
paved. As soon "a that has been finished
the shslling OF Jones street will begin, and

from Charlton street, the present terminus
of the Belgian block pavement, south to
Henry strest Next year Alderman Har-

Broad street from Liberty to Anderson.
Savannah horsemen, like horsemen every
where elso. are all talking about Sunors
wonderful record of 2 08sl in Stockton,
Cal Horsemen generally look upon Maud
SIS record Of 2.08l on circular track as
greater achievement than that Of Sunol
which was on q kite shaped tracK.
The kite-shaped track stands a good
chance to be generally adopted, but IL is not
fair 10 call Sunol the queen Of the turf until
she goes over tho circular course in less
than the time Of Maud g. The advantage
of having one turn instead Of two is so sp-
parent that the matter needs no explains
ton. Sunol will be tried on the regular
track before leaving Stockton.

1 cause ne couldn'e read it. This calls to
n mind that law has recently been promul-
). gated in Austria requiring all medical pre-
r scriptions be clearly aud legibly written so
that there can be no doubt as to the medi-
cine ordered, the amount to be taken the
directions for the patient and the prsScrib-

= legible writing In prescriptions, aud to the
g average person there are few things more
i difficult TO interpret than physicians pre-
