the Columbia won the second race of

as to the merits of the two racing

Grounded Near Jupiter.

The Mallory line steamer Comal, Capt.
Young, bound from New York to Calves
ton, went ashore early Sunday morning
at Jupiter, about two Fsiles south of the
life saving station.
Capt. C. r. Carlin. keeper of the sta
ton, organized volunteer crew consist
ing of Messrs. ]. A. Wells, Graham w.
King, Chas. w. Carlin, C.. o. Svendson
and Jas. A. Armour, Jr., and went to her
relief in the surf boat.
The steamer was hard aground, head
on, about half a mile from the beach.
She had grounded at high water and ap-
peared to be there to stay when the tide
went out and her water line loomed up
Her passengers took things easy, being
assured by the officers that there was no
danger.
Captain Carlin and his crew ran a big
anchor out into deep water and tried TO
kedge the steamer off on several high
tides, but without success till about p.
IN. on Tuesday, after 200 tons of bunker
coal had been thrown overheard to
tighten her, when the steamer began to
slowly swing around and off till her en-
gines could drive her ahead into deep
water. When aflOat the Comal was found
to be uninjured and proceeded on her
voyage Immediately.
Captain Young was very grateful to the
life savers, who, with the exception of
Jim Armour, who had to stay ashore
after Sunday to carry the mail, had stood
by him and rendered such service as
salvage company would have claimed the
vessel and cargo for. The crew was partly
made up of former surfmen who had
manned this station under Capt. Carlin
before it was changed to house of refuge
about five years ago. Had it been life
saving station last Sunday the patrol
would have warned this steamer of her
danger when she got SO close in and pre-
vented her grounding, which came near
to costing several hundred thousand dol
lars and possibly many lives.

Management Wants Information and
Urges Prompt and Careful Attention.
To Exhibitors of the State Fair:
To the end that there may be full ex-
hibits of all of the resources Of the state,
the management of the fair feels that
there is no time to be lost by those who
intend to compete in preparing their ex-
hibits at once. Every county exhibit
should be carefully prepared throughout
the summer. All farm products that
must be carried over the summer should
be carefully looked after, that they may
be in the best possible condition when
the fair opens. There is already large
demand for space, and those intending to
exhibit should send in their applications
for space at once. Pens and sheds must
be built for stock, and it is of great inn
portance that the management know as
soon as possible what will be wanted.
Counties should know as soon as pos
sible what space they will need and COM
municate with the management at once.
Individual exhibitors should, as far as
possible, make their exhibits part of
their county exhibit, while they may at
the same time show as an Individual ex-
hibit
Read carefully all the rules and regula-
tions in the premium list, and if you
have not received one send TO this office
for it. The management is desirous of
giving every aid in their power to ex-
hibitors, and are at all times ready to
give any information they may have.
We are working to one end, for the good
of the state. For information regarding
exhibits, etc, address G. P. Healey, gen.
eral manager, jacksonville, Fla.

Measures for Fire Protection.

A citizens meeting was held Tuesday
night under the auspices of the board of
trade TO consider measures for fire pro-
lection. Mr.. SchOfield, of Atlanta, gen.
eral southern agent of the Seagrave Fire
Apparatus company, of Columbus, Ohio,
was present and gave information in re.
gard to the apparatus of his company.
1t was decided to recommend that the
town council purchase Seagrave truck
with extension and four ladders, buckets,
and full equipment for hook and ladder
trucks at c cost of $3.50, the town to pay
for same by note Of two years time,
bearing interest at 6 per cent. The above
equipment to include a certain number
of extinguishers for using a chemical
preparation for putting out fires.
1t is urged that as the special tax for
roads of five mills was not levied in this
district this year, that aside from the
special school tax Of three mills to be
levied, the town could add two mills for
the purpose of meeting the note, which
would take it up in two years, and still
the taxes of our town would be no higher
than last year.
With the facts before them the people
and business men of our town can readily
decide what action they will take IN the
matter. We need some means of fight
ing fires in their incipiency at least. The
town has no money in the treasury to in
vest cash for such apparatus, and it is for
the people to decide whether they are
willing to continue the risk of having
fires without some means of putting
them out.

Attacked by a Shark.

Michael O'Brien, who lives three miles
north of Fort Pierce, while taking dip
in the breakers near Indian river inlet,
together with two other men, on Sunday
last, was severely bitten by shark.
1t appears that while in the surf the
bathers discovered huge shark between
themselves and the beach, in shoal water.
In accordance with too-prevalent Gus
tom Of those who indulge in this invigor-
ating sport, they decided to embarrass
the man-eater by surrounding him in
such way as to cut off his retreat and
render his escape impossible by other
means than taking to the woods. The
mosquitoes were unusually bad in the
hammock at the time, and the big fish
objected to the route.
After having made several futile efforts
TO gain the deep blue sea his sharkship
became desperate and made direct line,
with open jaws, for Mr.. O'Brien, catch
ing him in the side and throwing him
bodily out of the water. Five terrible
gashes it is said were inflicted in the un-
fortunate mans side.
He was brought by his companions to
Fort Pierce where DIR. Platts promptly
rendered the necessary surgical aid, and
Mr.. OBrien was taken to his home,
where he is now under the physicians
watchfnl eye. Fortunately nothing more
serious than ugly flesh wounds were in
ficted, and his early recovery is hope
fully anticipated by his friends.
