NOT DAY FOR SIGHTSEEING.
The day was not good one for sight
| seeing in Savannah, which was much
regretted by the visitors Many of the
officials were accompanied by their wives
aud daughters, and they had anticipated
! spending delightful days in reviewing
the beauties of Savannah, especially
! Bonayenture. Many braved the weather
and went out in carriages in the morning,
| and a number of others followed suit in
the afternoon and took the street cars
/ for Bonaventure and Thunderbolt. 1t
was generally said by the visitors, how
! ever, that they had done so much sight
seeing and running around in Florida that
they were glad to take a day of and en-
| JOY day of rest quietly.
The majority of the visitors attended
services at the various churches in the
morning, Christ church, St. Johns and
the cathedral being most largely favored.
The visitors were loud in their praise of
the beautiful music they heard at the
churches, being so far interested as to
inquire the names of the leading voices
and paying them many compliments.
Many of the general passenger agents
visited the clubs during the day by invl-
tation of mem bers and were extended all
| the courtesies. They were surprised to
find Savannah so well equipped with
/ good clubs and spoke highly in praise of
their management.
