BELLS LONG DISTANCE LINES.
Local Telephones to Be Connected
Further With the Outside World.

Local Telephones to Be Connected
Further With the Outside World.
For the last few weeks the Bell Tele-
phone Company has been putting long
distance telephones in the places of those
formerly in use, the object being to give
its subscribers the benefit of its outside
lines, which are to be used free under
contracts it is said, the company expects
10 make with its patrons in the future.
In keeping with its policy of making
extensions to its lines and thereby ad-
ding to the excellence of its service, the
Bell Company will soon have completed
the connecting link between Savannah
aud the company's long-distance lines. At
present the long-distance service, accord
ing TO the directory extends only to
Brunswick, Darien. Everett City, Tybee
signal station, quarantine station ana
Thunderbolt, and to jacksonville, st. Au-
CUISINE, Fernandina, Fort George and
Pablo Beach, in Florida. When the con-
neetion is made with the terminus of the
northern long-disfance lines, however the
service will be largely improved, and the
company will then be in position to offer
additional facilities to its patrons.
The American Bell Telephone COMPANY
which has officially notified Council of its
acceptance of franchise recently grant
ed under which it is allowed to come into
Savannah with its lines, is building ana
controls all the long-distance lines that
are now connecting the Bell Telephone
exchanges throughout the country. BY
means of its connections talking a dis
lance OF a thousand miles and over has
become a common thing When the dis
lance is covered the company elaine its
patrons can talk across the continent.
which will give the United States the rec
ord for the arch achievement in the per-
lection of the telephone business.
Whether the long-distance lines are paw
ing' is Of course, information the com
pany does not care to divulge, but the i'm
provements that are being made are of
character to soon bring this branch of the
business to a paying basis. It Is said the
Savannah connections with the North will
be made in the next sixty days.

ENTRIES CLOSE AT NOON.
Yachts for Regatta Must BE Known
to Committee To-day.


The entries for the regatta of the Sa-
vannah Yacht Club close al noon to-day,
by which time the owners of the yachts
which are to sail tomorrow must have
notified either the secretary Of the club.
Mr.. w. H. Crane or the chairman of the
sailing committee, Mr. w. ID. Simpkins,
of the fact that they will be in the race,
and apprise one or the other of the gen
tlomen named of the dimensions of their
boats aid the class they desire to enter.
The sailing committee for the regatta is
constituted as follows Messrs w. ID.
Simpkins. chairman; Albert Wyily, A. H.
MacDonell and Norman Beckett These
gentlemen will be in active charge, and
have supreme control of the yachts that
are entered in the regatta. They will be
assisted by Messrs. E. s. Stoddard. Louis
~ Turner and George Spring, as meas
urers, and by Messrs. f. f. Jones, }. F.
c. Myers and Wright Hunter, as time
keepers. The measurers request that the
owners of all yachts and batteaux intend
ing to enter the regatta will have ther
craft at or near the club house this after
noon, SO that they may be measured for
the races.
The regatta of this year gives promise
of being the most successful in the history
of The club. and has certainly aroused
greater interest than has been manifested
by the members for many years. Much OF
this renewed interest is due to the advent
of the Dragon, by which a competitor
for the Charleston challege cup is added
to the club feet and a winner of this event
almost assured.
The members of the club have hi herto
fe.t somewhat disheartened that lis req
resentatives in the challenge race preced-
ing thet of last ye3r were left far in the
rear and that the last race was won by
a Charleston yacht hyirg the co.ors or
the Savannah club. Now that the Dragoon
has come they fee. that they can meet all
corners with more than fair show of sue
cess.

Savannah will probably have no difficult

Spanish cannon. When Mayor Myers re-
Gently applied to the Secretary Of War
for a couple of guns he was advised that
il would require an act of Congress to
award them, as the captured cannon be-
long to the Grand Army. Since then il
has been decided that the Secretary of
War has the right TO dispose of them to
municipalities as he sees fit.
Applications have been made from all
parts of the country for these relics of the
late war. The secretary in his letter to
Mayor Myers said that it would give him
pleasure TO award couple of guns to Sa-
vannah il 1t were in his power. Informa-
ton was received yesterday from Wash
ington that if the Mayor renewed his ap-
pication it would be granted. Savannah
is now reasonably sure of being honored
in the distribution of the prize guns.
