deTbOlt REGATTA.

Lost Her the Race-The Undine Wins
in the Fifth Ciass-The Chase or the
Naphtha Launches The Qui Vive
and Mamie W. Are the Winners in
Their Classes-A Perfect Day on tho
Water.
The Fourth Of July regatta of the Sa-
yanuah Yacht Club was one OF the
plcasantest and most successful racing
events that has taken place over the
Thunderbolt course in some time The
day. while little too warm was perfect
one for sailing. and those in the white
winged racers and the craft that followed
in their wake enjoyed the sport The
wind blew delightfully."- over the course.
As usual, the Ocean Queen carried off
the honors in the frst-class, beating her
rival, the Eldiva, with ease. The EldiYa
crossed the line ahead Of the Queen and
kept the lead until Turner's rock was
reached. At this point Capt. Demere
tackled to the windward, and went so far
ahead Of the Eldiva as to practically put
her out of the race even if she had not
met with the accident which befell her at
Cabbage island. While lacking 10 round
the stake boat the upper band of the
masthead snapped, letting the sail drop.
Capt. Frank Skachan was compelled TO
anchor the Eldiva in order to make re-
pairs, and he lost so much time in conse-
quence that the boat was not allowed cor
rected time by the judges.
No yachts were entered in the second,
third or fourth classes, but in the fifth,
nine little boats started in to test their
racing qualities. Three dropped out after
crossing the line and six ran the course.
The Undine, Capt. Ferguson, won, with
the Meteor close second.
THE EAPTHA LAUNCHES.
The naptha launch race, which took
place after the yacht events, was the
most exciting and interesting
event of the days sport. Five
yachts entered in the two classes, the
Qui Vive, Capt, Turner; the Nina w,
Capt, Wylly; the Flash, Commodore La
throp; the Mamie w, Capt. Montague,
and the Ruby, Capt. Bacon. In the first
class the Qui Vive won, with the Nina
w. one minute and thirty-fve seconds be-
hind her for second place. The Mamie

so-NIonr's MASS MEETING.

Tae mass meeting Of tae citizens
which Is to be held at ine courthouse
tonight 20 consider the revision OF the
city charter should be In AIDE an occasion
for ;ree expression OF the views of
the citizens upon this important matter.
Entire harmony should prevail and a
fair discussion allowed.
If, as has been quite generally
claimed, Council has usurped it's author
ity in the revision, and without allow
ing tho people to pass upon the pro
posed changes, has "railroaded" the
new charter to the Legislature
for flnal action then the opportunity
is now given for this meeting in the
name OF the citizens to demand that it
not be passed as proposed by Council.
TIE TIMES believes that such changes
as will allow reduction in the expenses
OF main saining the government and
changes which will place much more
power n the hands Of the executive
can ne adopted if the meeting will place
the work of revision in the hands OF o
competent committee who can voice the
sentiment OF the public in this matter.

Vice-President Stevenson and SecretarIe,
Herbert and Smith at tho Exposition.
AUGUSTA, Ga Dec. 12.-Orators from
the West, the North and the South on
the same platform expressing tho same
sentiment of undying loyalty to tho
union, tutoring words of encouragement
for the upbuilding of the nation-such
was tho sight that greeted thirty thou
sand visitors at tho A ugusta exposition
to-day.
That the war is ended so far as the
South is concerned no one who wit
messed the scenes to day could doubt.
Yankee Doodle" awaken ned yell of
enthusiasm that could only be compared
to that which greeted the fond strains
OF Dixie" and whom President Walsh,
in introducing Mr.. Springer as coming
from Illinois, "a State which has given
to the people Of the nation an illustrious
name which we Of the South revere and
honor, the name of Abraham Lincoln"
there was burst OF applause that
would have put many a Northern aud
fence on its metal to have surpassed it.
Again was there great wave of ap-
plause expressing the peoples approval
when Mr.. Walsh declared that "the
time had come when, however much we
may rejoice in our own State and in our
own section, we must eXalt ourselves by
the highest patriotism and rejoice in
the heritage Of such men as Lincoln
and Davis, Lee and Grant, Sherm an and
Stonewall Jackson"
Such was the feeling that prevailed
on the occasion Of the visit of Vice
President Stevenson, Secretaries Her
bert. of the Navy, and Smith, Of the
Interior, and Congressman Springer, OF
Illinois, and SperrY, of Connecticut, to
the exposition.
Never did men experience more gener-
ously and warmly the Ar.famed hospi-
tality of the Southern people than did
these distinguished guests of Augusta.
During the morning President Walsh,
accompanied by the reception com
mittee, called with carriages at the
Bon Air Hotel for their guests and
drove to the United States arsenal,
where a salute was fred in honor of the
Vice President When Vice President
Stevenson rose to speak there was
repetition of tho previous ovation, even
fully two minutes. He spoke in
happy vein, being frequently inter
rupted by hearty applause.
Secretary Herbert, of the Navy, was
the next speaker. He brought Presi-
dent Cleveland's regrets at not being
able to accept the invitation TO be pres
ent to-day. He contrasted the peace OF
the United States to the revolutions in
Central and South America and the
mention Of our small standing army in
comparison with Europes great forces
was greeted with loud applause.
President Walsh introduced Secretary
Smith as man Of pre-eminent ability
and declared that "his administration
will compare most favorably with that
of any man who has ever filled that
position, l care not how great his
ability may have been"
1t was the first occasion that an
Augusta audience had OF greeting Sec
rotary Smith, though he was Georgian,
but they made up for it in giving him a
great ovation.

"a Trip to Chinatown"

The play is one of the most dexterous
blendings of comedy, character and
specialties ever presented to the public.
Its situations are side splitting and m lost
OF the dialogue is extremely keen, ap-
preaching, now and then, real Gilbertian
drollery. ripping stream OF melody
runs through it, broken only by the
sharp turn of witty lines, and from be-

ing symphony of merriment and music,
and was heartily enjoyed by the audi

The Queen of All Come dies the Attraction

Jane" am bitiously called the Queen
Of Comedies, direct from New York,
under Charles Frohman's management,

first time this evening with Miss Kitty

one series of successes.

they have seen in other imported com

tain that they have never had the sub

effect. The auditor does not experience
that feeling of safety, so those who
have seen the play assert, that comes so
soon in the third act of most comedy
farces, when the action begins to lag.

auditor has chance to wonder at what
he is laughing.

Democrats Want n Cancna.

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA number OF
the Democratic members of the House
were this afternoon urging Represen-
tative Holman, chairman Of the caucus
to call q meeting OF the caucus. They
want to have the Democrats meet be-
fore the tariff bill is presented to the
House to decide what line of policy the
party will pursue. The leaders also
wish their colleagues to express their
views as to the ACCESSIBILITY of reporting
the internal revenue sections of the
tariff bill as separate measure. These
and other questions regarding proposed
legislation they wish to discuss. Hol-
man will probably decide tomorrow
when the caucus shall be held.

AGAINST FREE COAL.

President Matson's statement as to
the effect Of the proposed Wilson tariff
bill in placing coal on the free list, is
but the sounding note Of number of
protests which THE TIMES will soon
make ublic, as expressive of the senti.
ment of the members of the Democratic
party IN this section of the State of
tariff Laws as proposed by the Wilson
bill. And in making these protests and
urging, as far as possible, upon
the members Of the House OF
Representatives that their eff rts
be towards defeating the measure
THE TIMES is in I'd wise taking a
stand against the policy of the Demo
cratic party as laid down by the Chi
cago platform, upon which it's candi dates
we're elected one year ago.
The present administration was chosen
on that Interpretation of the constitu.
tion which declares that there is no
warrant for protective tariff and that
import duties should be levied for the
sake O! revenue only. If this policy is to
be carried out then the South has every
right 10 claim that the proposed revision
is contra to the demands of the party
as thus expressed, and If it is not carried
out in is entirety, then the adjust
nlent o: the duties on certain articles
and the placing Of other articles on the
free list, is q discrimination against the
South, which every representative from
this section should do his utmost to
oppose. The proposed revision is pro.
tective, and helps the manufacturer
of the North by placing his raw
materials on the free list while it hurts
the South by allowing the articles which
it can furnish in the crude state to COM
pete with foreign products without their
deriving any benefits in return. Free
coal is what New England has wanted
for some time and the figures given in
another column show how seriously
the industry. of this ection is imperiled
by the proximity OF the coal mines Of
Nova Scotia to that great manufactur-
ing section and the ease of transpor
tation from the mines to those centers
