coNNERY WON THE FIRST HEAT.
Kinsey Dropped Out After Eight
Miles Were Ridden.

Miles Were Ridden.
The first of the three ten-mile heats in
the match race between I U. Kinsey, Jr.,
and w. H. Connery was ridden at Wheel
mems Park yesterday afternoon, and was
won by Connery. The time was excellent,
the ten miles being covered in q minutes
4 rs seconds. Klnsey withdrew after rid
ing eight and one-half miles. He was
taken with pain in his side and thought
At more prudent to drop out than to run
the risk of trying to finish under those
conditions.
At the time of Kinsey's withdrawal
there was no apparent advantage, and il
looked like either mans race. Connery
was slightly in the lead and was gaining
slowly, but Kinsey's friends were not
frightened as they thought he was saw
ing his speed for the finish.
For the first mile Kinsey led by about
twenty-five yards, but Connery began to
close up the gap and took the lead, which
he held until the tenth lap, when Kinsey
caught him. Connery again took the lead
after a few more laps had been ridden
and held il for the balance OF the race
There was a good crowd present to see
the race, and they enjoyed the exciting
sport, though the finish was not as ex-
citing as 1t would have been had both men
finished.
The second heat will be ridden to-mor-
row, and viii start at o'clock. If Kinsey
should win this heat it will give each man
point, and the third heat viii be a pur-
suit race. This is something that has new
er been seen in Savannah. In a pursuit
race the riders start from opposite sides
of the track and endeavor to catch each
other. il is a kind of race that is very
popular in England, and during the pres
ent season has attained some popularity
In the North and East.

TWELVE MONTHS OF TRADE.
sAVANNAH's INCREASE LAST YEAR
UPWARDS OF $0,OOO,OO0.

The Increases In the Value of the
Naval stores Business $4,000 900.
While the Cotton Movement Was
Heavy the Low Price Prevented a
Corresponding Increase In Value.
All branches of Business on "A snt-
isfactOry Basis and Merchants
Looking for a Big Trade Ahead.
Savannah closes its trade year with an
approximate increase over the preceding
year in the amount of business done, of
upwards of 100000. The total estimated
trade for the twelve months ending Aug.
81 is $135 SOC, 900. This, although a large in
crease over 1861, is considered low esti-
mate. II is in fact, not much IN excess
of the bank clearings for the year.
In spite of the war and Its attendant
drawbacks, the business of the year. was
very successful one. There were few fail
ures ana business houses and institutions
are In sound condition. The business too,
has been of very satisfactory character.
1t has been safely done, and with little
risk. Merchants are now looking forward
to an increased trade during the coming
year. With prospect of entering the Porto
Rican and Cuban territory, preparations
are being made for a big years business.
The increase in the amount of cotton
handled was something over $4,000 bales.
While the price was low, the increased
movement brought the total value of re-
ceipts up to $780, 900, a considerable In
crease over the preceding year.
There was also an increase in the move
ment of naval stores. The price of spirits
turpentine was materially higher, too
than during the previous year. Rosn was
lower but the receipts were heavier, max
ing in the aggregate, an increase in the
value Of the naval stores product Of 81
100000.
The shipments Of lumber were the larg
est on record. Prices were fairly good
during the early part of the year, but de-
ciiued at the close. The increase in the
value Of the movement was over three
quarters of a million dollars.
There was q decrease in the movement of
phosphate rock, but a slight increase in
the shipment of fertilizers to the interior
Prices were low, and there was a falling
off in the total value of the product, COM
pared with 1867.
The groceries, liquors, tobacco and pro-
vision trades were increased by the move
ment to the country, and as prices were
higher than the previous year, the in
crease in the value of $4,000 in this de-
partment of trade adds largely to the trade
receipts of the year.
The increase in the shipment of fruits
and vegetables to Northern markets add
ed considerably to the regular trade and
increased its total value by half a million
dollars.
There was a gratifying increase in the
business done in dry goods. clothing, shoes,
hats, etc, while the retail trade held its
own remarkably well.
The estimated values of the leading
commodities is very nearly correct TIE
estimates are made up from conservative
dealers and approximate very nearly their
actual value.
The following is a comparative estimate
of the value of Savannahs trade during
the year, beginning Sept. l, 1897, and end
ing Aug. 81, 1898, with that of the previous
wear.

ON A KISSING SPREE.
Ugly Conduct of Two Swedish Sail


Ors.
Two sailors treated the people in the
vicinity of Broughton and Abercorn
streets last night to an eccentric perform
ance, upon which the curtain was I'M
tremendously drawn when officer Charles
Murphy of Justice Bevans court came
along The sailors were embracing and
endeavorlng 10 kiss every woman that
passed the corner, and for some time they
kept up quite an excitement In that To-
cality.
They gave their names at the police bar
racks as Oscar Patterson and illus
Svalad. Before arrested they had en-
braced two women, and were just getting
interested in this novel pastime, when the
officer interceded The first parties tackled
were without escorts, and on that SC
count, the INSCRIPTIONS fellows had pref
ty much their own way, only releasing
their victims when the noise made things
unsafe.
1t was the third pass the men made that
got them In trouble They accosted a wo-
man, accompanied by her husband, Selling
hold of her violently in an effort TO i'm
press a kiss before any one interfered.
Probably because the men were strong,
and also ugly in their conduct, the hus-
band made no effort to arrest them but
called on officer Murphy, who succeeded,
after some trouble, in subduing the sail
ors. A messenger was sent 10 the bar
racks for the wagon, but the officer de-
cided not to wait for it, and proceeded 10
march his prisoners to the station house.
No very serious mischief was done, bur
the men at least conducted themselves in
manner that viii doubtless call for a
reprimand by Recorder Ravenel. They are
Swedes, and have only been in Savannah
a short time.

One POoIer Negro Puts Down
Another As "a Bad Man.
George Tines, a negro from Pooler, was
picked up in Yamacraw last night by,Po-
llceman Umbach, at the request of r. II.
Verdell, colored, also Of Pooler, who
charged the prisoner with stealing COW.
Tines was overly jubiant when arrested
and took the mistaking him for a thief as
something funny.
On the way to the station Verden was
asked something Of the case by the police
man He said he lost a cow Sunday. and
that another man saw the thief whom he
described. Believing he could find the man
from the description given, VerdelI came
TO Savannah, and went to the Yamacraw
rendezvous, and singled out Tines as the
man. He had no proof whatever against
the prisoner, except that he "sorter' filled
the description.
Il Is likely the Recorder viii find Tines
innocent, as he tells a straight story of his
whereabouts when the stealing is snnnosed

PREPARING ron NEW FIRE ENGINE

1t Is Expected Here the Last of the
Week.
The fire commissioners will likely take
action to-day in regard to buying horses
necessary for the new fire engine, which
is expected from New York by Sept. 10
at the furthest There are also other
matters in this connection requiring at
tention, and 1t Is probable they will be
attended to- so that the new engine may
be put in service without delay when 1t
arrives.
The commissioners at first contracted
with the La France Engine Company to
furnish the machine by Sept. l, but an
additional ten days was granted at the
company's request. While nothing has
been heard lately by either the commits
sioners or Chief Mcguire, stan they believe
the steamer will be duly completed, and
are daily expecting notice of its shipment
to Savannah.
to make a test of the steamer as soon as
it gets here, and this will likely be
public exhibition. 1t must throw thous-
and gallons of water a minute, according
to the conditions of the contract and o.
this is equal to the capacity of the best
modern fire engines, the test will be of
great interest. Should everything prove
satisfactory after experts have tried the
engine, citizens and property owners will
have just cause for pride, as the depart
ment will then be equal to any of other
cities the size of Savannah.
The hook and ladder truck at fire head
quarters has been oyerhauled by the sta
ton force. and now presents a handsome
appearance. The truck went into service
yesterday, after being rugged with lad
ders, crowbars, nozzes and other things
that belong to it, Foreman Campos and
his men are proud of the truck, which is
now probably among the neatest in the de-
partment.
