A River Race.

There was pretty test of speed on
the river last Monday morning be-
tween the steamer Crescent and the
tug Trojan, the latter the property
Of Mr.. ii. A. Hodges of Satsuma
Heights. The boats had long been
waiting an opportunity to test their
speed and Mr.. Hodges had said that
some day his boat would make it
interesting for the Crescent" His
time came on Monday, and the Ores
cent officers feel that he has made
his promise good. AS the Crescent
was coming out of Dunn's creek the
Trojan was seen steaming down the
river. When turned into the river
and both boats were straight away,
the Trojan had a lead of about one
third of a mile. Both boats crews
seemed to be aware that there was
something expected and there was
something doing. The Crescent
gained on the Trojan steadily, and
when near the Miller dock, had made
such gain that they were neck and
neck. Here the Crescent, which was
to port. received a signal to land, and
was obliged to drop from the race.
In doing this much time was lost ow-
ing to her position. AS she steamed
out of the dock the Trojan was a
good two-thirds of a mile ahead.
Then the Crescent began to creep up
on her again, and she continued to
creep until opposite Harris point,
when the Trojan was permitted to
ret a rear view of her competitor.
AS the Crescent passed the Trojan,
Mr.. Hodges, who was aboard his
boat, made speaking trumpet of his
hands, and the voice seemed to sound
something like, "I'D meet you in
Jacksonville this evening, and I'll
set 'em up"

StetsOn GIee Club.

The club executed its songs with a
precision and finish which cannot be
surpassed by any Glee Club in the
south. There was not an error or a
break in the whole program. The
men sang with that ease and effect

and hard practice.-Deland News.
The Club has some fine talent, and
they have brilliant future before
them. They will take rank with the
leading musical organizations of the
south.-Volusia County Record.

Cruelty to Animals.

Mr.. Editor:
AS a citizen of Palatka, | wish
through the columns of your paper
70 cali the attention of the public to
the cruel treatment that is being in
dicted upon some of the horses on
our streets every day by unfeeling
drivers. We see them driven be-
yond endurance and beaten unmer-
cifully until they totter as they go.
is there no way by which these
heartless wretches can be compelled
to treat more humanely the noblest
and most useful of all animals? We
suspect that there is an ordinance
bearing upon cruelty to animals and
if such is the case our Mayor and
city council should see that it is
enforced. Such wanton and unnec-
cessary cruelty is a shame and a
disgrace to any community where it
is tolerated. If it can be corrected
in no other way we hope our good
ladies will take the matter up.

Brown Has Fool Friends.

]. B. Brown, convicted of the muir
der of Harry Wesson, and whose
sentence to hang is being held up
pending action for new trial by the
supreme court, has some fool friends
who are anxious for his escape, but
they will have to resort to a more
clever devise than they have yet
tried in order to escape the vigilence
of Sheriff Howell. A box was re-
;eived at the Jail for Brown this
week which, when opened by the
sheriff, seemingly contained nothing
but an old shirt and other wearing
apparel. An examination, however,
revealed a small file carefully con-
cealed in one of the garments. Sher-
if Howell says the file was a gooo
one, and a test showed that it would
walk right through steel. Brown
had appeared very anxious for the
receipt of this box for some time. II
was sent by a negro at Fernandina
who signed himself A. w. Wright,
alias big jim"

Magnificent House Boat.

The handsome turbine yacht Doc
zie, property of Mr.. j. l.. Elwood, OF
DeKalb, ILL.,, arrived in Palatka
last Sunday. The boat was built
AFT Racine, Wis, So miles above
Chicago, on Lake Michigan, and it
has come from that point to this city,
since lust before the closing of navi-
pation on the Illinois river. The
route was down Lake Michigan to
Chicago, thence through the Illinois
river to the Mississippi, thence to
the Gulf, around the keys, up the
Atlantic coast to the st. Johns river
1t was a long and perilous trip, but it
was made without serious mishap
under the careful management of
Capt Corquodale.
The Doozie is 80 feet long by IL
feet beam, and only draws two feet
of water. She was built expressly
for a house boat for use in cruising
the inland waters of Florida, and is
luxuriously fitted up for this purpose.
The Doozie has steel hull and is
equipped with two triple expansion
engines of 100 horse power, with
which she is capable of speed of 10
miles an hour. She has deck house
of solid mahogany. a forward state
room, a galley, crews quarters, two
family state rooms, with Pullman
berths and bath room. The Doc
zie cost $4,000.
Mr.. S. J. Kennerly, who represents
Mr.. ElwoOd in Palatks, has had a
magnificent boat house built for the
new yacht, which is being brushed up
from the wearing effects of its long
trip, when it will be housed, await
ing the arrival of Mr.. Elwood, who
is expected in few days.
That he will get some pleasure
from his magnificent yacht there is
little question in the minds Of those
who have seen 1t,

Benz. N. Bradt of Huntington has
been appointed chairman of the
Farmers Institute for Putnam coun-
tv. Mr.. Bradt writes the NEWS that
in his opinion if an institute for Put
nam county is held, it should be held
in Palatka. What is needed is a
show of interest on the part of the
farmers. If any interest is evinced
on the part of the farmers of the
county for an Institute, Mr.. Bradt
authorizes the NEWS to state that he
will meet a committee at Palatka at
anv convenient time and make the
necessary arrangements. Mr.. Robt.
w. Eville, of this place, will probab-
Iv take the matter of awakening the
proper interest hereabouts.,
These gatherings have heretofore
proved interesting and profitable to
the farming classes.

L. d. Nettles, the young white
man who several weeks ago shot !

submitted was not sufficient to hold |
the accused and the case was dis
missed.

to his genius in newspaper making.
Mr.. f. f. Haskell has been re-
elected Junior Grand Warden of the

siderable influence in the Grand
Lodge, and that many of the order
in the state have their eye on him as
good future Grand Master timber.
Mr.. L. A. Smith the well-known

Mr.. and Mrs. w. L. Craig, OF East

absence of two years, and are guests
at the Saratoga. Mr.. Craig is 4
prominent capitalist in his home
town, but is chiefly remembered
here as the owner of our rapid trans
it street railway system. He is a
pleasant gentleman to meet and his
old friends in Palatka are enjoying
his visit. Mr.. Craig's franchise to
the streets has only 30 years yet to
run, but he doesn't expect the cars
now in use to last quite that long
He expects to improve the system
and will put a trolley line in when
ever the necessity arises and there
is show of getting an occasional
dollar back on the investment
How to dispose of his profits from
the present system is not causing
him to stay awake o'nights.
