PARK AND TREE COMMISSION.
Forsyth Park and the Strand on Bay
street Attract Attention.

Street Attract Attention.
Chairman P. D. Daffin of the Park
and Tree Commission leaves to-day fF
Saratoga and the North to be gone
about a month. He has his depart
ment we'll enough along he says to adj
NIT of his leaving without sacrificing
the interests of the city. In fact,
Chairman Daff1n feels elated over the
condition of the parks and squares just
now, and so stated to the Morning
News.
''All it takes to elicit complimentary
remarks about the beauty of Forsyth
Park is a glance at it," said Mr.. Daft
fin. 1t is the pride of Capt. Ellis, who
has direct charge of the park, and the
compliments heard daily of the taste
and good management shown in its
maintenance speaks well for his SER
vices on the commission"
Chairman Daffin has been taking a
hand in improvements himself. He
beautified the strand on the north side
of Bay street between Bull and Dray-
ton, which has attracted so much at
tention in the business section of town.
Heretofore that strand was thrown out,
with the public passing over it con-
tinually and destroying what little
grass was there. Granite curbing now
surrounds it, and walks have been laid
out The side next to the bluff is to be
relieved by a hedge fence. Flowers
have been planted, fancy beds and
ornamental figures made, so that the
strand may now be said to be one of
the prettiest spots in town.

Jack DAILY and Jack Bennett will meet
again in a 25-round bout under the aus
pieces of the Savannah Athletic Club,
Sept. 16. The articles for the match
were signed yesterday. The club want
ed to pull off the match at date ear
lier than that decided on, but Bennett
said business matters made 1T impera-
tive for him to spend some time at
home and in Pittsburg, and that the
18th is the very earliest date on which
again.
The coming bout will be different
from that of Monday in several partic-
ulars; while that was for catch weights
and under straight Queensbury rules,
the one to be given will be at 141
pounds, the men to weigh in at 3
o'clock on the day of the bout, and the
rules to govern the contest are to be
those of the Savannah Athletic Club,
recently adopted.
These differ from the others in that,
whereas in the former the men not

at liberty to do so in the break, in
the new rules they may not, under PEN
atty of causing a foul, strike after the
referee has ordered them to break,
and until the break has been made by
the referees going btween them. This
new rule combines the good qualities
of the clean break and the straight
Queensbury rules inasmuch as it al
lows infighting. prevents wrestling,
and yet presents to the spectator all
the advantages of the clean break.
Another rule is that "the referee may
disqualify a competitor who is spar

the open glove. by hitting with the
inside or butt of the hand, the wrist,
elbow or forearm, hitting or catching

or not obeying the order of the referee.
1t is further specified that in all
contests the ring shall not be more
than "a feet nor less than 20, and that
the gloves used shall not be more than
8 ounces, nor less than 5.
Bennett expects to be back in Savan-
nah about Sept. 1, and will start to
train Immediately though he has not
yet selected his quarters; 1t is possible
that he will do his work at Tybee
Daily will remain in Savannah until the
bout. Each man has posted a forfeit
for non-appearance, or for failure to
be at the required weight on the day
appointed.
Last night Bennett went five 2-min-
ute rounds with Tommy Corcoran al
the New Alhambra. 1t was a very
clever exhibition of sparring. Bennett
showed all the cleverness and quick
ness that he displayed in his bout with
Daily. and Corcoran showed the very
marked improvement that he has made
in both leg and arm work since his
bout with Zeigler Neither man put
much steam behind their blows, so nc
damage was done.

Alpha Aground All Day with Ebe-
Meier Excursionists.

Nearly five hundred people started
on st. Paul's Luthern Church picnic
yesterday for Ebenezer. Instead of get
ting there they spent the most of the
day on the steamer Alpha which went
aground near the Seaboard Air Line
drawbridge on the up trip and remain
ed there until late in the afternoon.
The steamer left the city about s
o'clock. An hour after she started she
went ashore and did not get off until
o'clock. The picnickers reached
Ebenezer in time to go ashore and
get view of the church before dark.
They reached the city at 11:30 o'clock
last night. the most of them worn out
with their all days experience on the
steamer.
The passengers made the best of
their i'll fortune and ate their lunches
on board as IL they were under the
oaks at Ebenezer. but the crowd
made IT anything but comfortable and
the majority were glad when the day
was over.
Capt Gibson's new steamer, the
Louise, had been chartered. but owing
to some changes being made in her
steering gear. the Alpha was secured
in her place.

THE ROANOKE LIBELLED.
Owner of the Allegheny Wants Pay
for Towing Roanoke Into Port.

loWLuB AhtO
The steamship Roanoke was libelled
in the United States District Court
yesterday. The libel was filed by d. H.
Hayne and Garrard & Meldrim, proc
tors for the Merchants and Miners
Transportation Company, the owner of
the steamship Allegheny. 1t was by
the latter vessel that the Roanoke,
found helpless at sea, was towed into
the harbor of Savannah.
The libel filed in court yesterday
on a voyage from Philadelphia to
Jacksonville on July 81 last, when she
broke her crank pin and became help
less on the high seas. This accident
happened to the vessel at a point off
the Georgia coast, near Sapelo island,
and for four days the Roanoke drifted
about, almost at the mercy of the ele-
ments. On Aug. 8, when she was sight
ed by the Allegheny. she was off the
coast between Martins Vineyard and
Charleston.
The libellant alleges that the Roa-
noke was at this time in a perilous
situation, being helpless and on the
point of being forced by a strong
southerly wind on a dangerous coast.
She had been showing distress signals
day and night since she had broken
her crank pin, the ensign floating with
the union down in the day and the
signals with torches being made at
sight. Notwithstanding this fact, how
ever, and though several other vessels
had been sighted and had come close
enough to perceive the character of the
signals, no effort of help was made the
Roanoke until the Allegheny hove in
sight. At the request of the master
OF the Roanoke a .hawser was passed
from the Allegheny and this being
made fast, the stricken vessel was
towed into the harbor of Savannah.
1t is alleged that the Roanoke is
vessel of 331 tons net register, and is
worth about $4,000, its cargo of coal
being worth 81 800 additional. The AL
leghany is worth $250,000, and at the
time it gave help to the Roanoke was
proceeding on its regular voyage be-
tween Baltimore and Savannah. This
trip was delayed six hours by the sal
wage service rendered.
The Roanoke was seized under the
libel by Deputy United States Marshal
F. B. Pearce yesterday afternoon, and
will be held by him until claim bond
is filed by it's owners. The repairs to
the vessel have not been completed,
and as she can't leave the harbor until
they have been, the institution of the
libel does not in itself afford her Off
GERS any particular annoyance.

WILL USE FREE LABOR.
COnvicts Have Not Completed Race
Track at Fair Grounds.

track at Fair Grounds.
By the action of the County Commits
sioners, taken at their meeting yester-
day. the force of convicts that has been
employed on the State Fair grounds
will be moved off tomorrow night. and
the rest of the work on the race track
will have to be completed by private
contract or with labor employed by the
association and worked under its own
supervision.
1t is hardly probable that the con-
victs will be able to finish the work of
grading the track even by tomorrow
night, and there will remain some of
this work yet to be done. Then it will
have to be surfaced and rolled and to
put the track in first class condition
Will require yet the expenditure of
considerable sum of money.
One branch of the work of the Fair
is being pushed with commendable en-
ergy and success. This is the Negro
Department, exhibits for which are be-
ing solicited throughout Georgia by
Rev. j. w. Roberts and Rev. John
Crolley. Reports from them are receiv-
ed by the secretary of the association,
Mr. j. c. Shaw, which are altogether
encouraging.
On Tuesday night Rev. Roberts ad-
dressed a large audience of colored
people at Quitman, in the interests of
the Negro Department. He was listen
ed TO with attention and aroused much
enthusiasm among his hearers. At the
close of the address, S. Z. Monroe.
principal of the colored schools in Quit
man. made talk in which he endors-
ed the project heartily and pledged
the support of his people to the en-
terprise, promising that the negroes Of
Quitman and Brooks county would be
creditably represented at the State
Fair
Rev. Roberts has just held a sim
liar meeting in cambridge. He-had
like success there and a local board
of directors, headed by Rev. Holmes,
pastor of the A. M. f. Church, was
elected to collect and take charge of
the negro exhibit of cambridge and
Decatur county. With Rev. John
Crolley, Rev. Roberts will hold meet
ings this week and next at Thomas
vile, Valdosta. Waycross and other
points in South Georgia

WHOLESALERS TO MEET.
And Discuss Plans for Advertising
the City's Advantages.

A call has been issued for all whole
sale merchants of Savannah to meet
this afternoon at the Screven House at
o'clock for the purpose of consider
ing and adopting plans that will ex-
tend andl increase Savannah's COM
mercial influence in the surrounding
country, and show to country mer-
chants the city's advantages as a bus
mess center. 1t is felt that these adj
vantages are as great as those offered
by any city and that they need only
to be known to be appreciated.
The idea has been received with a
great deal of enthusiasm by Savan-
nah's merchants and there is no doubt
that the meeting this afternoon will
be very largely attended. and that
some very practical plans looking to-
ward the carrying out of the idea will
be adopted. Some of the plans that
will be considered were outlined in
