The Prize Pictures in the Amateurs
OF ~ ~ Ray. Week Contest.
The Society Of Amateur Photographers
met last night at its rooms in the Young
Mems Christian Association building, to re-
ceive the judges report upon the pictures
submitted IN the Merchants week prize
contest. A good deal of interest
has been taken In this contest.
The subjects were confined to
Merchants week incidents and the prize was
offered for the best finished and most arts
tic photograph.
Sixteen pictures were entered Nearly
every one was a marine subject, and the
most OF them included one Of the United
States cruisers, the Philadelphia, KearsarRe
or Vesuvtus. Mr.. W. E. Wilson was ap-
pointed judge and the pictures were sub
mitted without any designating mark for
his Judgment.
In his report Mr.. Wilson acknowledged
the difficulty, in view Of the excellence of
the pictures submitted, of selecting the best.
After careful and exacting scrutiny, he
awarded the fret honor to the picture of the
Nesuvius as she lay at her wharf below the
city. The picture was by Mr.. Oscar ANTI.
Abiding technically to it, Mr.. Wilson pro-
nounced it the most pleasing in composition
and the best print
The second honor was awarded the pic
ture of the Philadelphia as she lay at
anchor of Tybee. The picture was the work
OF Mr.. w. R. Curtis.
The third honor was awarded the picture
OF the Vesuvius as she lay on the opposite
side of the river below the city. 1t was made
by Mr.. E. NJ. Hopkins. MIR. Wilson said
OF II that it was the best timed
and best developed picture in the contest,
but the point did not do IL Justice. All of
the pictures were superior in composition
and finish.
The prize pictures will be framed and
Will be placed on exhibition at once, so that
the public may see what the society is doing.
The meetings Of the photographer So
ciety, although the discussions are of q

OF photography was followed by

various subjects relating to the society's
work. Mr.. J. H. Bates. president of the
society, is one Of its most active members

LIEUT.. sATTERLBE's SPOON.
The Mess officers of the Regiment
Make Him Present.

Make Him q Present.
One Of the closing incidents OF the recent
encampment at Camp NorShen, which was
kept quiet until yesterday, was the present
alton Of souvenir spoon to Lieut.. Satterlee
! by the officers Of the mess Of the First regi-
ment The engraving was done by Lieut.
John 7. Roman and the speechmaking by
Lieut.. Karow. Lieut.. Satterlee accepted
the token in pretty and witty speech.
Gallaher's best joke and the best Of the
encampment was perpetrated the last day.
Lieut.. Karow was the victim. Photog-
rapher Wilson had left his camera in the
| Green's street while he went off to attend to
some business in another part OF the
grounds.
Gallaher began fooling with the machine
as II be was taking the photo OF a group Of
the Greens and Cadets who were lounging
near by. Lieut.. karow rode up during the
performance, and thinking Gallaher was
really taking pictureJ, asked If be couldn't
get in the background. Gallaher saluted
and said he would be only too glad to take
the photo Of the regiments paymas-
Ter. He showed Lieut.. Karow the position
to take and directed the proper pose. The
boys could hardly keep their faces straight
while the performance was taking place,
but they suppressed their mirth rather than
spoil the joke.
AFTER keeping Lieut.. karoW sitting
erect and perfectly still on his horse for
about three minutes he removed
the cap from the glass, counted five,
squeezed the rubber bulb, and with wave
Of the hand, said: "All right lieutenant
Call around tomorrow and see the proof"
Leonard, Gallaher's partner, then threw
up the regimental blackboard against a
tree, and called out in his inimitable way:
Races open. Sweepstakes Sold-the
paymaster OF the regiment"
The boys broke out with loud and long
laughter, and group Of officers who were
sitting at Capt. Fields tent joined in the
general merriment at Lieut.. Karow's ex-
pense. The wags made themselves scarce
for few minutes after perpetrating the
joke, and Lieut.. KArow took 10 good
naturedly and said, "TheY were on him
this time.n
The Waycross Rifles of the Fourth regi-
ment was the most popular company in
Camp Northen with the Savannah boys,
because Of the fact that Capt. Farr is an
ex-Savannahian, and was at one time a
prominent member Of the Cadets, and one
OF its crack drill team. Several other Sa-
vannah boys, who have made the thriving
young city their home, were with the Rifles
in camp, and they had an enjoyable time
renewing old acquaintances. Capt. Farr has
every reason to be proud of the Rifles. The
company is composed of a fine body of men,
who are thoroughly disciplined and enthu-
siasts on military matters. They are

day.
The June term of the superior court will
convene Monday. At the meeting of the
grand jury that day the ex-officio Justices
of the peace are to be elected.
In the First district Justice Lewis B.
Eudres has no opposition. Justice Waring
Russell, Jr., of the Second district has no
opposition either. Both Justice Endres and
Justice Russell have made excellent officers
and they couldn't be improved upon.
Justice Patterson was recently reelected
for the Third district for term OF four
years, and therefore he has no interest in
the election.
The Fourth district has three espirants
for the bench. They are Justice Elsinger,
who has continuously held the position for
nearly quarter of century, Maurice A.
Buttimer and p. L. Constantine. Like all
candidates looking for office each OF the
aspirants expect TO carry off the plum.
There Is no opposition to Justice Alfred
A. J. j. Blois Of the Fifth and Justice j. 7,
Buckner of the Sixth, but there is said to
be two unknown candidates, dark horses SO
TO speak, trying TO wrest the honors from
Justice Mcleod King OF the Seventh, and
Justice Van r. Winkler OF the Eighth.
As the election of the justices Is expected
to take up nearly all Of Mondays session,
the grand jury will meet again Tuesday to
consider criminal business. There is a big
batch Of it. The most important cases are
that OF Isaac Tison for the double
murder of William Williams and William
Green; Pearl Prendergast, Percy Sibley and
Stella Mosely for KIDNAPPING Ella Holmes

The Guards Postpone Their Picnic on
This Account.
The Guards have.decided to postpone their
picnic, which was to have been given on
Wednesday, June s, indefinitely. 1t may
take place later in the season. The reason
given for the postponement is that the COM
mittee iu charge found it impossible to get
up picnic on account of the active prep
arations now going on for the encampment,
and the date of the picnic being
50 near that of the departure
for camp it was not thought well to ask the
men to leave their places of business for a
day when they were shortly to be sbsent
for week. The Guards are now holding
battalion and company drills every night,
aud are attaining high degree Of efficiency
In the manual and the tactics
The men are being practiced in guard

The Gamewen System Put In Opera
ton Last Night
The Gamewell system was put into practi-
cal operation last night under Assistant
Chief Killourhy's new time table system,
and worked splendldly. Every officer has
been furnished with printed timetable,
showing the boxes to be pulled on his beat
and the time which he must pull it. The
arrangement is 81 complete that not two
boxes are sounded at the same time, and
reports are received at the police office
from every part of the city about three
minutes apart. Under the time table
scheme the Gamewell system is bound to be
successful. 1t is one Of the best improves
ments the city has ever adopted. Alder
man George 8. Haines, chairman of the
police committee, is largely responsible for
the progressive step taken. He worked
hard for 1t. The successful operation of
the system is a reward for his labors.
