10Th, 10th and 21st.

The Camera CLUBS midwinter salon will
be held next week, Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday, Feb. 10, 20 and 81. The club
has decided on these dates instead of this
week, as more convenient for exhibitors
and for the public.
Already a large number of pictures have
been entered for prizes. chiefly by MEM
bers of the club. The Entertainment
Committee, in its announcement, opened
the prize lists to all amateur photogra-
piers, whether members of the club or
not. There are a number of amateurs In
Savannah whose work, although of high
character, is seldom seen, and it is expect
ed that the pictures outside of the club
will be of equal interest with those of
members.
over thirty pictures had been en-
tered for prizes up to last night, the
date first fixed upon for the closing of
the entries. With the exhibition pictures
there is every prospect that the salon win
excel in the number and artistic merit
of its pictures the fall exhibition, which
was such popular success

which DR.. w. F. Aiken is chair
man, and of which Mr.. II. c. Shuptrne
and Mr.. Armand Chapeau are members,

the week. The club rooms are open ev-
cry night, and pictures left there will be
taken charge of by the committee. An
effort will be made to make the coming
exhibition the best display of amateur
Photographic work that has ever been seen
in Savannah. The club gold medal won
by Mr.. II. c. Shuptrine at the last exhi-
biion, will be contested for under the
same rules that governed the autumn con-
test. The club rooms will be put in or
der this week for the display of the pic
lures. 1t is intended 20 make the exhibit

CLUBMEN ENJOYED DINNER.
Their Evening Around the Festive
Board Complete.

Members Of several Savannah clubs, aft
er having enjoyed genuine repast ex-
pressed the opinion that the meats were
served in the best of style and were the
most delicious they had had for some
time. Besides being tender and juicy, the
meats possessed a flavor which greatly
pleased the clubmen.
Now, it will doubtless surprise some to
know that the men who ate this dinner
We're MOI those who enjoyed it most. The
fellow whose heart was filled with joy was
the one who furnished the clubmen the
dinner. Suppose the meat had been

HORSE HAD TO BE KILLED.
street Car Ran Over an Animal OF
MIR. Lawrence Kelly.

A horse belonging to Mr. Lawrence
Kelly was run over by Car 10 of the sa-
vannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
System last night and was so desperately
wounded that it had TO be shot by a DO
liceman to put it out of its misery and
suffering. The accident occurred at Bay
and Drayton streets, shortly after 7
O'Clock.
The horse had been tied in front of the
Cotton Exchange by Mr.. Kelly and was
left there while its owner went into his
office. In some manner the animal be-
came united and wandered across the
street and before the moving car. that
was running west on Bay street. The car
was going at quite a lively rate of speed
though probably not faster than is us
ual The motorman saw the horse and
buggy approaching and bissfully uncon-
scious of the fact that there was no one
in the buggy to control the actions of the
horse did not slacken the speed of the
car
1t struck the animal almost full in the
side, knocking 1t to the ground and over
turning the vehicle. For some feet horse
ana buggy too, were dragged along the
track in front Of the car. until the car
could he stopped by the motorman. Then
che horse staggered to its feet and run
ming some further distance, collided with
a post and experienced a second fail. 1t
was found then that the horse had one
Of its legs broken and was otherwise
badly injured and that the buggy also
had been smashed in places, and was
shaky about the remaining joints.
A policeman came up at about this timo
and decided as an act Of humanity. that
II would be best to kill the wounded ami
NAL He carried out his intention with
his revolver.

LESTER AT CHICKAMAUGA.
Savannah's Congressman Had Plenty
of Nerve In Battle.

Mr.. r. Grant Dalton, the pugnacious
gentleman of British extraction QUE in ON
aha, who wants to fight Col. "Rufe" Les
ter because the latter gave out for publ
cation letter from Mr. T B. Hodges, a
former Savannahian, who is now down in
South Africa fighting with the Beers,
would do well TO think twice over the
matter before sending his challenge 10
the Savannah congressman. At least tina,
is what some of Col Testers old com
rades in the Twenty-hfth Georgia think
about the matter.
"A man who will stop 20 take the sad
die off of his dead horse while the bull
lets are flying around and coolly walk off
with it to find another horse is not the
man to be bluffed by any testy Briton who
takes notion to he offended at the mere
pubhca ton of a letter"
The remark was made by a well-known
Confederate veteran and was overheard
by Col W. J, VIM who happened to ne
standing near by. Col. VIM was a ma
jor and afterward colonel of the Twenty
fifth Georgia. OF which regiment Con-
gresham Lester was adjutant, and he is
always a staunch supporter of his old
comrade in arms.
That is right" said Col. VIM, when
he heard the remark We old fellows
had enough fighting thirty years ago, but
l guess RUFF has a little left in him. l
was present and witnessed the incident
10 which you refer. 1t was in the first
DAYS fight at Chickamauga, and Lester
was the acting adjutant of Wilson's bri-
gade of Walkers division. Forrest was
in command of that end of the line. We
had just forced our way through two lines
of the enemy, and We're taking a breath
ing spell preparatory to going against a
hill in our front that seemed a perfect
hornets nest when Lester rode up with
orders for us to resume the forward move
ment. He had delivered his orders and
started back, when mis- horse was killed.
I was only about twenty-five feet away.
Lester stopped by his dead horse, took the
saddle off deliberately and then walked
off with it, saying that he would catch
some other fellows horse
1T was that same day." said Col VIM,
that l saw Lester Knocked down
by spent bullet that passed through his
hat He got up, rubbed his head and re-
marked: MY head must be harder than
that damned Yankee bullet" Luckily for
him, it was a spent ball, or Savannah
would never have had the benefit of his
services for nearly twenty years as Mayor
and congressman. and our river might
still be as shallow as when ne nrst took
his seat in the House"
That was the sort of chap Rufe was
in those days" remarked Col. Vim, land
l guess he has a little of the same grit
left"
it is likely that Mr.. Dalton will appease
his wrath with newspaper thunderings In
Omaha, and that Col Lester will never
have the pleasure of a personal commu-
nication from him.
