BICYCLE MEET AT TYBEE.
Kinsey and Connery Ready for
Their Match Race This Afternoon.


Their Match Race This Afternoon.
The Kinsey-Connery match race will
take place this afternoon on the beach
at Tybee Island, and it is expected will
be witnessed by a large crowd. In
addition a one-mile open professional
race will be run, and the two fast men
will also enter in this event. The race
will be run under the auspices of Mr..
William Bohan, and will start from in
front of his pavilion.
The chief interest centers in the
main event. and both Kinsey and Con-
merry are in the pink of condition. They
are confident of winning, and the race
will no doubt be close. The men will
start in front of MIR. Bohan's pavilion,
and ride to the north end of the island
and return, until the several distances
are covered.
The one-mile professional open will
be run first, and Kinsey and Connery
will be on the line when the start is
made. 1t is expected that C. Hamp
Leopold will also be in the game, and
that several of the soldiers stationed at
Fort Screven will take part in the
event. Some of Uncle Sans men on
the island are rapid when ii comes to
SpuIllnSs anu lHey nave Deen showing
against the wind on the beach for sew
eral days, in anticipation of to-day's
contest.
The first heat of the match race
will be for five miles, and the second
for a mile. In the event that the men
split even a third heat of half mile
will have to be run. Wednesday is a
regular excursion day, and it is ex-
pected that a large crowd will go down
in the afternoon to witness the bicycle
races. Connery will make his debut in
the professional ranks this afternoon,
and should he defeat Kinsey he will
capture the scalp of fast man, and,
too, one who knows all about the game.
Racing appears to be on the boom
again, and the men are recalling the
fast days of SO. There is talk of a
big meet at Valdosta during the latter
part of the month with substantial
prizes for amateurs and professionals.
In the event that the meet is arranged
several Savannah riders will probably
take part. 1t may be, too. that the
track east OF the city Will be put in
condition for races next season, and
the bicycle dealers are awake to the
fact that there is nothing like racing
TO keep the trade alive.

COULD NOT AGREE.
Crenshaw and Barrow Differ over
Value of s., f. & w. Property.

Value of s., f. & w. Property.
Mr.. T. c. Crenshaw, State Railroad
Commissioner, was in the city yester-
day and a part of the day before, in
conference with Mr.. Pope Barrow rela-
tive to the tax returns to the state of
certain of the Savannah, Florida and
Western Railway property. Mr.. Cren-
shaw represents the state, while Mr.
Barrow is the representative of the
railway. The contention of the state
is, of course, that the valuation of the
railways property was put at too low
a figure. a contention that the railway
will not admit.
The property in question consists of
the sidetracks in and between Savan-
nah and Waycross, and in and between
Dupont and cambridge; the property
of equipment between Savannah and
Waycross, and between Dupont and
Bainbridge; the bridges and trestles be-
tween Savannah and Waycross, and
the city property in Savannah.
The valuation of all this property
was gone over carefully by Messrs.
Crenshaw and Barrow, who so nearly
agreed on everything but the Savan-
nah property that but for this item, the
matter would have been settled in a
very few minutes, but the arbitors
could not agree on the valuation of the
railways unimproved real estate in
Savannah although a whole morning
was spent in looking it over from every
standpoint.
1t was decided to call in a third ar
bitor, and a meeting was held for that
purpose yesterday afternoon, but no
one was agreed on, and Mr.. Crenshaw
left for Atlanta at night, leaving the
matter still unsettled. Mr.. Barrow says
that the question of selecting a third
arbitor will be taken up at once by
letter

QUITS TO GET NEW BALE.
Albany Will Send First Georgia Cot
ton to savannah To-day.

Mr.. e. A. Cults expects to receive the
first bale of Georgia cotton to-day He
received advices from the Georgia Cot
ton Company, at Albany yesterday to
the effect that they had bought the
bale and would ship it to Savannah
during the day. The cotton is classed
as middling. If the shipment is made
by passenger train it will doubtless
reach Savannah to-day, and will then
be auctioned by Supt. j. P. Merrihew
in front of the Cotton Exchange.
Mr.. Cults received the first bale of
Georgia cotton last season. 1t was re-
ceived from Albany July 2S. The first
bale of the season of 1S9S-99 was re-
ceived by Mr.. G. E. Dickinson on July
90.
The crop is late this season, and it
will therefore likely be some time be-
fore the active movement to port be-
gins. GALVESTON has received 70 bales
of new cotton so far

ments at Confederate Hall.
The August meeting of the Confeder-
ate Veterans Association was held last
night at Confederate Hall. In the alb
sence of the president of the associa-
ton, Judge Robert Falligant, First
Vice President John r. Dillon presided
over the deliberations of the meeting.
There was a small attendance and
only routine business was transacted.
The reunion of the Georgia division of
United Confederate Veterans, which is
to be held next fall in Macon, was
mentioned, but there was no discussion
of plans for attending it. 1t is as yet
too far in the fture for the veterans to
be able to tell what they will do.
Refreshments were served after the
formal business meeting and the ac-
customed hour of pleasant social inter-
course was spent by the veterans, in
the discussion of the tempting delica-
cies the committee had provided and
of the old memories that knit them so
closely together.

Decreasing Mortality During the
Present Year.

Decreasing Mortality During the
Present Year.
According to the records in the Of
flee of Health officer w. F. Drummer,
the present year has been much health
Ter thus far than for the corresponding
time during 1899 and 1900. The figures
show a splendid condition of affairs,
with but very few cases of serious
sickness.
During the last three months the
mortality has been just slightly above
the normal, but this is not due to the
condition of the city, and, in fact is
not noticeable. During the early part
of the heated spell the mortality is in
creased by the death of alcoholic adults
and children under years of age.
The death rate for the first six
months of the present year, as COM
pared with the same space of time for
1900, follows:
