CHARLESTON HAS CHALLENGED.
June z, and o Named ms Dates for
the Yacht Races.

The formal challenge from the Charles
ton Yacht Club was received yesterday
morning, and the dates named for the
three races are June Z, s and 9. These days
are satisfactory to the Savannah Yacht
Club. and it may be regarded as certain
that the races will then be sailed.
For some days the members of the Sa-
vannah Club who take the greatest in
terest in racing were in expectation of
The challenge The recent arrival at
Charleston of the yacht Maris from Bos-
ton allowed the members of the Charles
ton Club TO reach a decision as to the
time for the races. They were required
to name dates at least thirty days from
the date of the challenge in order to ad-
NIT of the Savannah Club making its pre-
parations.
Evidently the Charestonians are con-
tent to rest their hopes upon the Maris

club. She alone viii try to retrieve last
seasons disaster and recover the cup. 1t
was thought possible the Charlestonians
might desire to enter two or more boats,
but the Maris seems to meet all the re-
quirements.. She has been given several
trips by the crew that will sail her in the
race, and all have expressed satisfaction
with the boat.
The Dragon will proba bly, represent the
Savannah Club again. Nothing has been
heard by the officers from Mr.. Frank
Strachan, who is building a yacht in
Brunswick on what is thought will be
very fast lines. The question has been as
to whether he could finish the beat in time
to admit of her having trial with the
Dragon, the winning boat to represent
the Savannah Club in the race with the
Maris, AS nothing has been heard from
Mr.. Strachan, it is thought probable that
his boat will not be competed in time to
admit of trial against the Dragon.
After the races with Charleston have
been sailed the stewards of the Yacht
Club Will decide whether the annual re-
gatta shall be held. Usually the regatta
has been in May. but the races with
Charleston. 1t was known, would fall not
very far from the date upon which the
regatta might be had, SO it was deter
mined not long since to await the out
come of the contest between the two
cities before deciding positively as to hold
ing the regatta.
The principal cons deration will be that
of finances after the Charleston Savannah
races are over If the stewards think it
wise to make the additional expenditure,
the regatta will be sailed. The opportunity
TO observe the race between the two fast
yachts, 1t is believed, will probably salts
fly most of The club members, and it
would be without great regret that the
regatta would be called off.

President Mckinley and Wine.

The New York World says: At the YER
mont Methodist Episcopal Conference
held at Bellows Falls, VT, the report of
the committee on temperance ELECTED con-
siderable discussion over the question
whether President Mckinney was in the
habit of drinking wine at banquets.
Referring to this report Bishop Merrill
made the following statment: Last No
vember there was meeting of Methodist
Bishops in Washington. and at that time
i5ishop Walden had a long talk over the
question with President Mckinley as to
whether he draSk wine at public BAN
quets or not. Afterward Bishop Walden
reported to the Bishops that President
Mckinley had sad that when he attended
banquets he did not turn down the glasses
but left them standing and they were fill
ed by the walters"
HE always had, however, a separate
glass from which he drank Apolinaris
water. but the wine always remained un-
touched"

WILLING TO RESTORE TRACKS.
President Parsons Calls Attention to
His Company's Contract.

The Savannah, ThunderboIt and Isle of
Hope Railway is willing TO replace its
tracks upon Price and Montgomery
streets rather than to have these streets
given to an opposition company.
A letter from President George Parsons
of the street railway company was read
at the meeting of City Council last night.
1t calls attention to the fact that in 1897.
at the request of a committee represent
ing the Council, and under a contract
with the city, the company removed its
tracks from Price street and from a large
portion of Montgomery street. The letter
contends that additional street railway ia
cilities are not needed by the residents
of Montgomery street, as a hve-minute
schedule each way is now being operated
on West Broad street, only one block from
Mon tgomery.
Should your honorable body. however,
consider that additional street railway IA
cilities are needed on any Of the streets
named" says Mr.. Parsons, I'VE would
urge that this company should, In all JUS
tice, be allowed to replace its tracks on
Price and Montgomery streets, which
were torn up under the agreement with
the city"
Mr. Parsons states in his letter that he
is not opposed to the building of the line

free of charge. the right to use the tracks
of the City and Suburban Railway as far
as Whitaker and Tenth streets, at which
point, connection can be made with the
lines running on Whitaker, Barnard and
Abercorn streets, the facilities thus offered
for reaching the various parts of the city
being better than can be obtained over any
of the streets asked for by Mr.. Lester.
The letter was referred to the Streets
and Lanes Committee. along with petit
tons from property owners on Bull, Lin
coin streets and Park avenue, protesting
against the use of those Streets The pro-
test of the Bull street property owners
contends that the present facilities ac-
corded by the street railway lines on Bar
nard, Abercon and Whitaker streets. are
ample for the residents in that section.
and further, that a street railway line
would be destructive of the value of the
street as driveway, and injurious to the
property along the route. The protest
