ALLIGAToRs AT BAPTIsING.

A funny story was related at San
ford. Fla recently By party of fish
ermen from up the river, relating to
the attack male upon party Of negro
bsptisers by an alligator while The
minister was immersing his converts.
According to their account, a colored
Baptist preacher and his flock had gone
TO the St. Johns river, some miles dis.
tant, and tai arranged for baptism of
many converts. SuddeOly. while in
the middle of the ceremonies, several
big allga ors came dsshing into their
midst. The minister was seized aud
dragged down, as were also several of
the converts.
The negro converts shrieked and
yelled, while the people on the banks
shouted in reply. The converts were
all clothed in fimsy white gowns,
which gave way readily, and as the al
ligators had ssized these instead Of tn, ir
arms or legs they soon got away. As
they escaped they rushed frantically
toward the shore, the alligators cavort-
iug in among them and causing great
amount OF excitement and fear.
The minister was seized a second
time, and dragged under, when some OF
his brethren, armed with clubs, went to
his aid.
They pummelled the big "gator" un-
til finally one of them was seized.
Things began to look squally for the
preacher and his converts, when the
fishermen's opportune arrival turned
the tide. They fired at the alligators,
killing two, and enabling the frightened
negroes to escape to the shore.
They were 10 piiiful plight, their
gowns torn to pieces, while some were
badly bitten by the vicious reptiles.
The minister and one old deacon Jared
the worst, being hurt quite badly.
The fishermen state that the trouble
was caused by lot of dogs that were
with the party barking and fighting,
which caused the saurans to come out.
They also state that they think that the
alligators were breeding and that they
were in a dangerous state. 1t he's
caused much comment in Sanford as
being something unusual.

WITH SONG AND STORY,
The Corinthians Close Successful
Yachting Season at Tib-
urOn.

1.-THE Corinthians are the people on the
shores of Tiburon."
So sang the jolly yachtsmen at the
Corinthians osing jinks last evening,
and to have heard their merry voices a
landsman would have agreed that they
were.
The inks, like all other affairs given by
the popular yacht club, were, as one
skipper put it, "wayAlp in G.'
From the hour that the hungry sailors
arrived On the $50 boat from this side un-
til the small hours in the morning the fun
was fast and furious.
The funny part Of the entertainment
was in the hands of those clever joshers,
Bob Mitchell, Dave Mclaughlin and Vic
Casmere, and their gags and clever stories
during their prolonged stay bshind
the i'm pTovised footlights kept the anna
teur tars in constant uproar.
The musical part of the programme was
furnishe by Gritton and Mard and Nou-
man and Copoline, and was well received
For soloisls, such fine singers as OssIe
Franks, }. Wheaton Leonards, Billy Hal
let, Charles Leighton. Ben Tarbox. Dan
Ward. Mat Keeie, kid" Nelson and DR..
Gallwey were introduced and received
many encores.
During the entertainment the yachts
men were furnished with pipes and re-
freshments. Thus ended one of the pleas
antest evenings that the Corinthians
ever furnished.
One OF the amusing features OF the even.
ing consisted OF stories by J. Y. O'Rrien,
the well-known telegraph expert and
sailor. He recounted some OF his recent
disastrous experiences OH the tug Vigilant,
when Captain Silovlch and others offered
life-pre trvers TO any landsman afraid OF
disaster. 1t was the general impression
of all present that O'Brisn was success
as poet and scienlisr. 1t was expected
that he would lecture during the ev~ning,
but he confined himself to reading several
papers on his experiences from :he Orinoco
TO the ocean.
