THE THREE "RoBs,"
Bob Taylor, Bob Nlchol, Bob DeAr. mond, at Jefferson Theatre Tomor row.

Gov. Bob Taylor who comes to Birming- ham tomorrow night with his new lect- ure 'sThe Old Plantation" which he pre- pared last summer, has with him trio of male singers, two Of whom are also named Bob" MT. Robert DeArmond of Knoxville is the basso, and MT. Robert Nichol of Nashville is the first tenor. MT Charles Smith Is second tenor. Governor Taylor sings the leading part of the quar- tette in his rich baritone. As the humor and pathos and philosophy of life's and loves old story as developed on the old plantation of the South, flows from the lips of the matchless Bob" Taylor, the auartette chim es in with songs illustrat- ing the theme. They never break the current of the story, however. they are part and parcel of 1t. Only Bob" Tay- Tor could conceive and deliver such a unique. original entertainment in the way of a lecture. There Is nothing like it elsewhere on earth.
 Governor Taylor is now making a lect- ure tour of Alabama. filling fifteen dates under a contract with Mir H. K. White, the attorney of this city. The past week he appeared at Tuscaloosa Anniston, Gadsden, Jasper, Florence and Huntsville, having audiences of from 400 to 700 people in these towns. Seats for his lecture here were put on sale at the Jefferson Thea tre yesterday morning, and about 400 have already been sold.
 Governor Taylor's increasing populari- ty on the lecture platform is wonderful He has already sold his time for next season to American Lyoeum Bureau of Rochester, N. r., for s25,D00 for 150 dates, and his expenses to be paid in addition,
 Mrs. Taylor is accompanying her hus- band on this lecture tour of Alabama which is her native state. She is well known as Miss Alice Fitts of Tuscaloosa and then the handsome Mrs Hill of Mont gomery, where she spent her married life and young widowhoed. She and Governor Taylor were married last fall and now have a beautiful home in Knoxville. sssl

FOR WORLDS RECORD
ON MOTORCYCLE
Rider From New York to Make Trial at the Coli
scum This Afternoon

For the purpose of attempting to
break the worlds record for one mile
on a motor cycle, George NJ. Hendee,
ex-champion ameteur of America, and
oscar Hedstron have travelled from
New York to Savannah. They arrived
Yesterday from New York by steamer
and will return Wednesday.
The trial will be made at $3.50 O'Clock
this afternoon at Jack Princes coli
scum on the Indian, a motor cycle
that is at present attracting a great
deal of attention in the East and West
because of its capacity. There will be
no charge for the exhibition and it is
probable that a large crowd will go to
the coliseum. The machine. is handled
by Eedstron and with the weather con-
ditions favorable it is expected that
the worlds record will be broken.
Mr.. Hendee arrived in Savannah with
a letter of introduction from A. G..
Batchelder of the New York American
and Journal, chairman of the Board
of Control of the National Cycling AS
ISOLATION. The trial has the sanction
of the N. c. A. and Mr.. Marion Lucas
will act as referee for the Board of
Control, at the request of the chair
man. The three horse power Indian
used by Mr.. Bedstron is said to be
a remarkable machine and was worked
out at the Coliseum yesterday. 1t is
confidently expected that the record of
1:102-5 made on a three lap track in

Paris Will be lowered when the Indian
is opened wide this afternoon
The try for a record was to have been
made on one of the fast tracks in the
East, and the one at Springfield had
been selected. The severe weather.
however, made riding impossible, and
at the suggestion of Chairman Batchel-
der, Savannah was selected as the best
place. While the track here is not the
fastest in the country, there is plenty
of speed in it, and the weather con-
ditions are apt to be favorable. The
fastest mile yet made at the Coliseum
was by Gussie Lawson, The Terrible
Swede. On the White Ghost, Lawson
made the mile in Ill fiat. The Indian
went several seconds faster than that
while working out yesterday.
At private trials for records made
against time there must be present a
duly accredited representative of the
N. C. A., who will act in the capacity
of referee: three judges, official time
keepers. a clerk of the course and
starter, and at least five witnesses, all
of whom must approve by their sigma
lures the application for record before
1t Will be considered by the Board of
Control.
Claimants for records must furnish
from the official timekeeDers a sworn
statement, certifying that the time
claimed is correct, also a sworn state
ment from a competent surveyor certi-
Tying that the measurement of the
track is correct. Claims for record
must be approved by the signatures of
the referee, judges and clerk of the
course and starter. in addition to the
above named sworn statements.

SUNDAY WITH THE HORSES.
Many Attended Exhibition Mt Thun-

Many Attended Exhibition Mt Thun-
derboIdt and Visited Race Track.
The weather yesterday was cool and
pleasure enjoyable, and hundreds took
advantage of the afternoon and either
went driving, walking or to Thunder
bolt, where a concert was held at the
Casino.
Many also went to the Doyle race
track, where a free exhibition of horse
driving was given. The programme
consisted of trained horses going by
themselves and being driven by dogs.
The horses were hitched to sulkys and
were driven by the dogs, both singly
and in tandem harness. They were
beautiful animals and raced around the
track with the same speed as had they
been handled by men.
Another crowd went to the Savan-
nah Racing Association track to see
the horses quartered there exercise.
Several of the runners were out and
went quarters. halves and other dis
tances. Other horses We're out in har-
ness and while no great speed was
made they showed up well enough to
make the exercising interesting.
Much interest is being taken by the
horsemen in the events to be run there
Christmas afternoon, and there is quite
a rivalry existing between some Of
them with the result that considerable
money will be placed on the result of
the races. sk
All of the animals have recently fin
ished the sea sons races, and are in
good condition. 1t is for the purpose
of keeping them. so that they have
been placed at the track that they may
be in trim for next seasons events.
Much care is exercised in the train
ing of the horses and they are, tended
as particularly as if they were being
groomed for a race. All of the attend
ants are quartered at the course and
there are at least one hundred men and
boys in the camp. Everything is kept
neat and clean, and all in all the COL
ony is happy and peaceable one.
When the attendants are not busy
with their stock they indulge In diff
ferent games and amusements and are
perfectly contented with the life they
lead.
Aside from the running horses at
the track that will race Christmas.
considerable interest is being manifest
ed by local owners who have horses
to race in the harness event that date,
and it is. safe to say that this race will
be one of the most interesting ever
driven in Savannah. Several of these
horses are also quartered at the track
and being trained for the race. Among
the owners who will enter horses are
DR.. Norton, Chas. Odell. George
Haight, Thos. Halligan, ]. ]. O'Neil
and others. Eight or ten horses will
be in the race and as the heats are to
be best three in five this contest alone
will be worth going to see. Each own
er will be required to drive his own
animal, which insures that the strug-
gle will be on the level and the best
horse will win.
The entries for the running events
are not all in or have not been CLASH
fed, but it is expected there will be
from six to eight entries in each of the
dashes. The track is being worked up
on and improved. so that it will be in
good condition on that date.

THE WEEK IN THE COURTS.
Potter Trial viii BE One of Mos
Interest

INTEREST,"
The Potter trial is, of course, the case
of most Importance in the courts this
week. Two days have been allotted
for it, to-day and tomorrow, but it is
probable that a longer time than that
will be consumed. Those cases which
have been assigned for trial in the SUI
perior Court for the rest of the week,
will be reassigned for a later day, in
the event the trial occupies more time
than has been left for it on the call
endar.
Besides these two murder trials, there
Will be another, that of Jesup Fields,
alias Eyes," who will face a jury on
the charge of numbering George Pow
ell with a brick. The homicide occur
red several years ago, and after an in
vestigation by the grand jury, he was
released from custody. Newly dis
covered evidence resulted in his ar
rest some time ago in Philadelphia, and
at an investigation recently held, he
was indicted.
Other felonies of a lesser grade have
been set for trial, but it is hardly prob
able that more than one or two of
them will be tried, unless the Potter
trial takes an unexpected turn. Among
these the most interesting will be the
trial of Martha Hill. who, to hide the
theft of a dress, attempted to set fire
to house. She will be tried for arson
and for larceny.
The case of 2. G.. Morgan has at
tracted much attention. He was in
dicted for the unusual crime of send
ing a threatening letter. In this letter
he threatened the life of a prominent
young lady of the city, because of her
partiality TO a rival sutton. Because of

The criminal docket will be called in
the Superior Court this morning, di-
rectly after the court convenes, for the
purpose of assigning cases for trial
during the ensuing week. The docket
is always called on Monday, but it is
barely probable that it may be dis
pensed with this morning. because OF
the uncertainty of the calendar for the
week
In the City Court the trial of the
damage suit of Elizabeth Evans
against the Savannah Florida and
Western Railroad will be resumed
This case has been tried once before
at which time a verdict of $4,000 was
awarded the complainant. The new
trial of the case, which was granted by
the court. has already occupied several
days, and indications are that it will
engage the courts attention for al
least three days more. The amount
sought to be recovered is $4,000.

1t is very probable that Fred Doug
lass and Jack Mahoney, Gunner
White, will be matched for a bout in
the near future. The gunner made
very creditable show against Tommie
Corcoran. in boxing exhibit. and has
quite number of admirers who be-
lleve he can defeat Douglass.
Tommie Corcoran is seeking another
match with Fred Douglass, and says
he is willing to bet any part of $500
/ he can defeat him. Douglass recently
defeated Corcoran in Augusta, and is
now suffering with an injured hand
as the result. He says he will accom-
| modate Corcoran as soon as able.
1t was positively stated yesterday by
friends of Owen Zeigler, the boxer
that he will not return to Savannah.
Several sports are contemplating a
cock fight for Christmas day between
Georgia and South Carolina birds.
The Atlanta footballists announce
that they will bring a large gang of
rooters with them Christmas day, and
will have unlimited money to place on
their defeating Savannah.
Jack Prince, the manager of bicy-
clists.' is now in the North, and this
week will bring South the most of the
riders who participated in the six-day
races, closed at Madison Square Gar
den, New York. Saturday night. These
riders will go to Atlanta first, and will
race there. after which they will race
at other places, and may come here.
Bobbie Wa1thour. the fast Southern
bicyclist announces that he will not
ride on Sundays when he goes on his
European tour. He is now in Atlanta,
and getting in condition to race with
the cracks of the world who will be
there this week.

Ting the troubles of the two Southern
baseball leagues, Charleston was left
out of the eight-cIub circuit. This news
was disappointing to the lovers of the
game here. but there does not appear
to be any way by which it can be
helped now. The new league will in
clude New Orleans. Nashville, Bir-
mingham, Little Rock. Montgomery.
Savannah, Atlanta and Memphis.
~ Iolnmy Feltz and Jimmie Divine are
scheduled to box tomorrow night be-
fore the Eutaw Athletic Club of Bal
timore. This is the last boxing match
that will be allowed in the Oriole City.
and it is possible that the bout will be
stopped at the last moment In this
event it is likely to be transferred to
this city.
AT present there are no boxing events
scheduled for this city, though the club
| is endeavoring to secure men for early
| dates. The patronage given the sport,
here of late, however. has been such
that the promoters have lost money,
and unless better houses are secured 1t
| will not be long before the game will
! be a thing of the past.
