nearly three years held almost undis-
puted sway from the ocean to the Indian
country. It's patriotic citizens were either
captured or driven away from their homes
and many died in defending their rights.
Among the most prominent Of those
whose names have come down in history
as champions and defenders of their coun-
try is that of Hon. Jonathan Bryan, a
member of His MaJesty's Council for the
colony of Georgia, a gentleman whose
patriotism and sacrifices endeared him to
his fellow citizens of Savannah and re-
ceived recognition in a most substantial
way from at least one of its representa-
tives, and, possibly at that time, it's most
representative civic organization, the I'm
ion Society," This token of appreciation,
large silver urn or drinking cup, the
loving cup of to-day, is now in the pos
session of Mr.. Joseph Bryan, distin-
guished citizen of Virginia, and editor and
proprietor Of the Richmond Times, lineal
descendant of Jonathan Bryan.
On recent visit to the capital of Vir-
ginia, Col. ]. H. Estill, president of the
Union Society, was shown this ancient
piece of silver and was presented photo
graphs of it.
The cup is we'll preserved and shows its
age very little. The inscription, as will be
seen, states that it was presented as a
mark of their esteem by the Union So
ciety to Mr.. Bryan, "who, for publicly APP
pearing in favor of the rights and liber-
ties of the people, was excluded from his
majesty's council" etc.
The cup bears no date, nor is there any
record in the society's annals of the pre-
sentation, but, it is evident from the in
scription that it was presented previous
to the appeal to arms. 1t bears the fol-
lowing inscription:

ION the LIST Of January Lieut.. Clarke of

about seventeen miles up the river
Savannah, above Savannah, upon infor-
nation that the late rebel governor of
Georgia was at a plantation on the South

There were IS clear days during the
month, partly cloudy and cloudy days.
No frosts occurred.
The weather at sea over the North At
lantic, between Newfoundland and Europe
and north of the 35th parallel, was very
severe during the last week in November.
During the first two weeks of December
the bad weather continued, the 40th and
45th parallels marking the southern limits
of the gales for the first and second weeks
respectively, so that north Of 45 degrees
north there were three weeks Of almost
uninterrupted bad weather. Taken as
whole, sea-going men say the month was
one of the severest ever known.
The forecast for January, as predicted
by the photographers, state that stormy
weather will be experienced north of the
10th parallel and along the American
coast north of Hatteras. Strong westerly
and northwesterlyeg gales will prevail along
the transatlantic steamship routes. The
effect of these gales is frequently felt as
far south as latitude 35 degrees north.
There will be occasional gales in the vi
entity of the Azores, and northers in the
Gulf of Mexico. There will be fog at
intervals on the Grand Banks but not in
extended areas. Ice will be drifting near
Cape Race and south to the northern
steamship routes.

1t seems they are not prepared just at
present to consider the challenge.
Many Of the Knickerbockers. Mr.. Rich

city, and, consequently, the match, IL
shot now, would be with diminished
chances for their success. They do not
say whether they want to shoot the con-
test and are merely temporizing.
While some Of the Knickerbockers
cracks are not at New York now, a later
date would find the same thing true of
the Hussars'. Several OF them, Mr.. Rich
mond says, intend leaving Savannah for
a while, and It would be impossible for
the cub to engage in the match without
them.

DAcEY THINKS HE'S wRoNcED.
Did Not Expect the Fight with Duke
TO he a Knockout.


Ed Dacey Of New Orleans, who fought
Billy Duke before the Pastime Athletic
Club Wednesday night, and had the de-
cision rendered against him in the fifth
round, thinks he is a very wronged per-
son. He says he engaged to come to Sa-
vannah and spar Duke ten scientific
rounds and that he did not expect the
bout to be a knockout. He says he was
not in condition for a hard go, and es-
in the best Of condition.
Dacey contends that he was not knocked
out, and says his fall in the fifth round
was due to a blow received from Duke S
head He does not claim that Duke struck
him Intentionally, but says he was prob
ably as much to blame as his opponent.
He contends that he was not counted out,
but was on his feet in about -FOUR seconds,
and ready to continue the fight.
Dacey appears to be sore on Ullman and
wants to get on a match with him. He
openly challenges Ullman to a contest
with small gloves, and agrees TO stop the
versatile Joe in five rounds, the winner 10
take all gate receipts
Uliman said in regard TO Daceys state
ment that he rendered the decision not
by counting out Dacey, but by stopping
the bout, as he considered him not in con-
dition to continue the bout. AS to pacey
being in poorer condition than Duke, Ull-
man says 1t was Dacey's funeral. II he
was not in proper condition 1t was his
own fault.
Dacey says that he tainted in Ullmans
presence the night of his arrival in Savan-
nah and Ullman says when he fell over
again in the ring after what appeared TO
be five light rounds, he thought at once
that Dacey was subject to some sort Of
organic attacks and that his fall was the
result OF one of these.
in regard to meeting the New orleans
man, Uliman says II there Is any monsy
in sight in Savannah he will meet him as
proposed, but stipulates that Dacey must
first be examined by a physician and his
condition certified to. He says he woLid
like to meet Dacey in New Orleans, where
Dacey states purses Of 500 or $500 are e.
fered, and asserts that he will be salts
