has presented the college with check
for ~, 500 to found a lectureship in the

SAIL OF THE YACHTS.
None Can Enter the Races Without
Carrying Ladies Aboard.

Carrying Ladies Aboard.
To-day is the anniversary of one of the
most pleasant features connected with
the Savannah Yacht Club. Ladies' day
at the Yacht club is an occasion which is
never lacking in success, for the presence
of ladies insures it.
The members and guests of the yacht
club and their lady friends will spend the
afternoon at the Yacht club. Everything
is propitious for an evening of enjoyment.
Plenty of yacht races, with high tide
and full moon, music and dancing on the
return to the club house cannot fail to af-
ford a pleasant afternoons entertain
ment.
The races will begin promptly at
O'Clock. All the entries will not be made
until noon today, and yesterday none had
entered except the naphtha launches.
Almost all the members of the club own
ing launches will enter the lists in one
class or another. Mr. Baldwin's launch.
Dixie, and Mr.. Carson's, the Carrie,
Will enter the first-class, and perhaps
Maj. Wilkins beautiful launch, the No
sello. The latter, however, met with an
accident day or two ago, though it NAV
be possible to have it repaired in time for
the race. The Mosello holds the record
against all her competitors among the
savannah launches. The Flash, Mona
W., Qui Vive. Mamie and Ruby. will
probably enter the second-class race.
The Ocean Queer" by MIR. K. Nj. Demere,
the Glance by Mr.. Isaac Beckett, the
"Thelma" by MIR. j. B. West and the
"Eldiva" by Mr.. T. p. Holt, will enter
the trst-class sailing yacht race. The
course will be between the club house
and Herb river, distance of something
more than two miles, and will be run over
four times. The prizes for the first-class
sailing yachts will be S25 and SIS for the
two successful contestants. The prizes
Tor the naphtha launch races will be hand
some silver cups. Under the rules each
yacht entering a race must carry ladies
aboard, and there is no doubt that each
will carry its full number.

FIERCE FIRE In CHICAGO.
Over q Million Dollars Worth OF Lumber
Consumed-Severai Fatalities


Consumed-Severai Fatalities
CHICAGO, August 1.-The lumber dis
trict was tonight visited by fire and
the loss will foot up $1,000, 600. Eigh-
teen concerns were entirely cleaned out
by the flames and everything contained
in their yards has been utterly de-
stroyed.
The burned district covers 40 acres,
bounded by Blue Island avenue, Lin
coin street, the river and Ashland
avenue.
The fire was discovered on the outside
OF the fence, near shingle shed. He
turned an alarm. but the strong north
west wind drove the flames so tiercely
that the first engines were helpless, and
call after call for additional help was
made until over fifty engines and three
fire boats were at work on the fire.
Piles OF lumber, lath, shingles and
cedar posts were swallowed up with an
appalling rapidity, aud for a time it
seemed as though the entire lumber dis
trict must be consumed. The wind
suddenly changed at $3.50 o'clock and
began to blow from the south. The
sudden change 10 the direction OF
the flames caught SEVERAL companies
unUrepared and the men were COM
PEELED To run for their lives. No en-
Eines were abandoned, but three Of
them had close calls, horses and men
narrowly escaping death. The fire
boat, Yosemite. found her steam so low
she could not be moved and the flames
were swoopinR down on her. She
finally crawled out badly scorched. The
Geyser had also close call, but ran
through the flames unharmed.
John Mccain aud Thomas Preceding
were badly burned while fighting the
fire. Otto Rafter fell off a lumber pile
and will die. An unknown man was
knocked into the river and was
drowned.
At eleven O'Clock the fire was still
burning fercely. with the probability
of blazing for twelve hours more.
