casualty happened earlier in the fight it

Mitchell has given pretty clear out
line OF how he means to fight in his
suggestion (before the match was made)
that they contend in a twelve foot in
closure, instead of the orthodox twenty
four-foot ring. He has been led to be-
lieve by his friend, old Tom Allen. ex-
champion of America, that he is strong

him down in savage onslaught. John

foe, but now warm friend, bluntly

HMitchell, of England, certainly be-
3lieve that it will come off and unhcsi-
dtatingly pick Corbctt as winner. I
aam utterly without prejudice in the
3matter, and am governed only by nv
ahoncst convictions. My reasons for ia
1voring Corbctt arc these: The Califor-
Eian is taller by Mt least four
inches, has far longer reach,
/! is six years younger, and is fully as,
/ If not more, skillful with his hands
and shifty on his feet. Mitchell
credited with being the harder hitter
by such experts as John l.. Sullivan,
Pat Sheedy and others who have seen
both men perform. AS both principals
have rather bad hands 1 do not
think the hard hitting qualities of
either will cut any special figure in the
contest. Both will be afraid to hit out
for all they arc worth in the early part
of the contest for fear of damaging
their implements of warfare. They
will rather in my opinion, play safe
scientific game, and wait until either
one or the other is exhausted before
lunging forth with all their power.
Then it will be to administer q coup dc
grace, just as Corbctt did with Sullivan
in the twcnty-lrst and last round OF
their memorable fight at New Orleans.
On that occasion it will be remembered
that the Californian delivered power

Of the home team
There will be delegation of Univer-
sity men at the train to meet the club
when they arrive. All preliminary ar
engagements have been made and they will
be well cared for while here Besides
thefifteen men who will compose the team
and substitutes they will be accom-
panied probably by some of the professors
and a number of their fellow students.
TO BE CALLED on TIME.
The game win be called promptly at 8
o'clock, city time, at the Bolton Street
Base Ball Park. The game, including
the intermission Of ten minutes between
the two halves, lasts just an hour and
forty minutes, the two halves being each
of forty -fve minutes duration.
The grounds have been well prepared
for the game and there will be no com
plant on that score. The bleachers at
the eastern end have been swung around
so as to give the players full room, and
the field has been laid off facing the grand
stands running from east to west. This
will give all the spectators a full and
clear view of every feature of the game.
The portion of the grand stand which was
torn of by the storm has been repaired
and everything is in shape for the comfort
and convenience of the crowd
There will be no smoking allowed in
either of the grandstanGs on account of
the fact that a great number of ladies
will attend and there will be good many
of them in both.

THE SAVANNAH BOYS.
The Savannah boys are all well known,
and will have crowds of friends at the
game to cheer them on to success, if sue
cess be theirs. Likewise there will be
fair eyes there who viii look for success
to the scarlet and black, for the univer-
sity finds in the young ladies who for
merly attended Lucy Cobb Institute,
hearty sympathizers in almost every part
of the state.
The Savannah boys have been devoting
a great deal of time to practice and their
team is in fine working condition. The
average weight of the team is between

team Is l57. Weight therefore, will not
be much against the visiting team, and
the success, wherever it may lie, will de-
pend on, perhaps more largely than any
thing else, the team work. The Savan-
nah men are not relying too much on their
weight to Garry them through, and they
are by no means so confident of success as
they would like to be-, still they are de-
termined and will give their opponents

The Savannah team will meet at the
Pulaski House at 1890, and will take
lunch with the visitors before going out
to the grounds.
AN ATHENS VIEW OF THE GAME.
The following special from Athens re
ceived last night will give an idea of how
the game is looked upon there:
Athens, Ga, Nov. 29.-The following
team left for Savannah to-day to repre-
sent the University OF Georgia in the foot

Kitty Cheatham Tomorrow and Sat-
urday at the Theater.
"Jane" will be the attraction to-mor-
row and Saturday evenings, and Saturday
matinee. The play is a farcical comedy
with plot-a stage curio in these degen-
crate days of plotless entertainments.
Besides that it is an ingenious and intri-
cate plot, in which the unexpected is
always happening, and it affords album
dant fun. 1t is all the more enjoyable be-
cause it is so well interpreted. OF course
the central figure is Kitty Cheatham,
who plays Jane" with spirit and clever
ness. Her little roguish ways, her unique
topknot and her assumption of the airs
and gratcs of lady stamp her as an ar
fist in this line of comedy work. Her
schooling in Days Tneater Company has
given her methods a finish not often dis
played by more experienced players. She
is the granddaughter of Gen. Cheatham,
of Nashville, and therefore warmly APP
peals to the southern heart for the en-
dorsement she may merit. "Jane" is
preceded by the usual "curtain raiser''
"Chums,n which in this case is a neat one

THE D1FFERENTIAL AGAIN.
Too Much Cotton Going to Norfolk to
Suit South Atlantic Ports.


Suit South Atlantic Ports.
The matter of the removal of the diff
ferential freight rate on cotton to the
South Atlantic ports, which is said to
have been done by the Southern Railway
and Steamship Association at a meeting
held in New York, is exciting much dis
cussion among the commercial bodies of
these ports and they will make a de-
termined effort to have the usual rates
maintained.
The Savannah cotton exchange will
take the matter in hand and cndeavor to
preserve the differential rates in force. as
the removal of them works a manifest
injustice to the ports on the South At
lantic seaboard 1t has been noticed for
sometime past Norfolk has been
getting more than its usual share of the
product at this season of the year, and
this announcement from New York that
the ditierenJial has been partially re-
moved by the association, seems TO ac-
count for it. The commercial bodies of
the South Atlantic ports are not going to
submit to this discrimination if there is
any way out Of it, but if there is not, they
may have TO put up with it as best they
can. They Will make a determined effort,
however, to see that the southern ports
have the same advantages as the north
ern ones, ana that they get their full
share of the product.

John Durham, Esq. well-known citi-
zen of Mcintosh county, died in this
city last night. The deceased was 70
years old, and had resided in Mcintosh
county for forty years. He had been
sick for some time, and was brought
here for treatment about two weeks ago.
but his disease was of such a character
as to render medical attention useless.
The body will be taken to Liberty county
and buried in the family burying grounds
at Jones creek. Mr. Durham has sister
and several other relatives who live in
this CITY
