Miss Evans continues to grow in popular

voice, pleasing presence and an apprecia-

HUSSARS AT THE TARGET.
A GOOD DAYS PISTOL SHOOTING
AT GREENWICH PARK.

serst. ]. @. Postel Won the First Prize
and the Company Medsl-Private
R. R. Dancy Captured the Second
Prize-The Veterans Prizes.
The Georgia Hussars were in their usual
good luck yesterday afternoon. The heavy
rain held UP in time for them to have their
annual carbins and pistol practice at Gren-
WITCH park and make very enjoyable time
of it.
There was a large attendance Of the
company considering the weather, about
forty members in all. The company left
the armory on Liberty street about 8
O'Clock with Capt. Beirne Gordon 10 COM
mand reaching the park about 3:45 O'Clock.
For the first time the American standard
regulation target was used by the company,
instead of the old Creedmoor target, which
has been used in all military prize shoots
heretofore, the difference in the targets
being that the old Creedmoor target runs
from l to and the American standard
from to 10 in scoring shots. The standard
is the target used by the Savannah Rifle
Association.
The condition Of the weather interfered
somewhat with the shooting, the scores
made not being as good as usual The prize
winners were as follows: In the active
class. with carbine, Sergt. j. G. Postell won
the first prize and company medal on a
score of 90.
Private R. r Dancy won the second
prize on a score OF 20.
The first prize in the pistol practice of the
active class and the De Renne medal was
won by Private E. r. Middleton on a SCORE
of 3S. Sergt Postell won the second prize on
a score OF 80, making the same score with
both pistol and carbine and winning two
prizes.
The pistol shooting was governed by
Blount's army regulations for pistol prac-
tice, which was snap firing and at the word.
The scores recorded, considering that it was
new thing, are considered remarkably good.
In the veteran, honorary and pay class
Veteran Thomas Hunter won the prize with
the carbne and Veteran ID. M. McAlpin
the prize in the pistol shooting.
The prizes were presented by Sergt. Nc
Alpin, in a few pertinent and well chosen
remarks. Refreshments were served on the
grounds. The company arrived back 10
the city about 8 O'Clock, having spent very
enjoyable afternoon.

Great Success.

Great Success.
The auction sale Of lots in Denmark,
s. c., yesterday was success. 1t was the
first sale made by the Savannah Construc-
ton Company of property in Its town sites
on the South Bound, and the results prove
that the people have faith in the future of
real estate in the embryo town that has
been laid off, at the junction of the old
South Carolina railroad and the South
Bound.

took up President Denmark AID Messrs

to view the prospect DER"
Arriving at Denmark in good time large
number OF PEOPLE were in waiting, and
others came in on trains on the South Caro-
lima railroad aud in private conveyauces.
At IL O'clock the auctioneer called the
crowd together under the shade Of an UNI
brageous oak and ann unced the terms of
sale The bidding at first was quite slow,
but gradually as the maps were
scanned over buyers found out what they
wanted and it became spirited. Two hours
work sold lots to the amount of IS, 100
figure being for lot having the frame Of a
small house on it.
The purchasers were generally from the
neighborhood Of Denmark, though Savan-
nah and other places supplied some buyers
The lots sold represent small proportion
of the town, possibly one-tW eutieth of the
holdings Of the construction company at
that point. Several purchasers made a
handsome profit by reselling their lots TO
parties who wanted them but had failed to
secure them when the auction was going on
The town of Grahams, near by, has been
Incorporated in the town of Denmark, and
both places will hereafter be known under
the latter name.
There was a large political gathering at
Blackville yesterday. and it doubtless kept

been at Denmark. As it was however, the
attendance at the sale was good.

The Columbus and Western Unable
TO Uss 1t for Some Time.
Supt WadleY, who has been absent
for several days looking after the tun.
mel on the Columbus and Western that
was on fire, returned to the city yesterday.
The fire was put out, apparently. but SUBJ
sequently broke out again, and it is be-
lieved that about 600 feet on the eastern end
OF the tunnel has caved in. The tunnel has
been closed up as tightly as possible with
the hope Of smotherIng the fire. Also
at the eastern end there was
landslide which closed up the tunnels
mouth. This has been cleared away and
an arch is being constructed to protect the
tunnels mouth. The extent OF the damage
caused by the caving in OF the tunnel cam
not now be estimated. but Supt Wadley is
OF the opinion that it will take considerable
time to repair the tunnel, aud it is probable
that the cost Of repairing it will be quite
heavy.
