GOVERNOR AND
HIS GUARDS
Gambler Criticised for Sending Team to
Seagirt.
Seagirt.

a fruitful topic at the Rifle range
yesterday was the purpose of the
Governors Horse Guards at At
lanta TO enter the Sea
Girt contests. Gov Gambler was
criticised for having granted the or
der, as Savannahians think Georgians
should not participate in the Sea Girt
matches until after justice has been
done the team that was so shabbily
treated in 1899.
Maj. w. w. Williamson, who was
captain of the Georgia Sea Girt team,
was asked his opinion about the par
ticipation of the Horse Guards in the
shoot. Ee answered that he did not
care to discuss the matter. as he it
not quite sure of all the circumstances.
Capt. ]. c. Postell was outspoken.
He said that he did not think that any
Georgian should participate as long as
the wrong done the Georgia team re-
mains unrighted. In a letter Cant.
Postell wrote Capt. Hope of the Horse
Guards, and which was read before the
troop, he expressed the view that he
did not see how Georgian who might
be gentleman could think of contest

INCREASE IN MELONS
3,O77 CARLOADS SHIPPED BY A. C.
l.. AND CENTRAL.
33s INCREASE OVER 1901.
FRUIT SHIPMENTS FAR AHEAD OF
WHAT WAS EXPECTED.

2,466 Carloads of Melons Handled by
the Coast Line From Georgia and
Florida and I,414 by the Central
RaiIrOad-The Melon Crop Much
Larger Than Was Looked for on
Account of the DrOuth.
The fruit shipping season is now
practically over and the railroads are
therefore able to give figures showing
the size of the movement. The water
melon crop is of course that of the
greatest interest, and this the figur-
ers show to have been much larger
this year than it was last, and that,
despite the fact that the drought in
the latter part of the season cut off
a part of the crop.
The statistics of the Atlantic Coast
Line show that to July 81 the move
ment of melons had been, from Geor-
gia, 1868 cars, and from Florida, SOB
cars, a total of 2466. Last year the
movement from Georgia was but 1880.
Practically all of last years ship
ments went East, but the fruit this
year was pretty well distributed East
and West. These figures, though
large, probably show much less than
the number of melons the road Teally
handled, as only such shipments were
counted as originated on the A. c. L.
line.
The Central road also shows a de-
cided gain in the amount of fruit han
died this year over last, as the fol-
lowing table will show:

they Give Their Time and best Eff
forts to the shoot.
Several of the Savannah officers are
working hard for the shoot, and they
have and deserve the appreciation of
all the military. Had it not been for
the efforts they have put forth, the
shoot could not have been made the
success it is proving, nor could the
admirable arrangements and perfection
found at the range have been ac-
complished.
All day long some of the officers
worked. There is nothing new in this
for them, however, for Capt. Austin,
Capt. Postell and others have been at
the range all day for the last three
or four days. Capt. Walter e. Coney
has worked like a beaver, day and
night Capt. Stephens, as the execu-
tive head, has been very active. There
every commenda ton.
Among the visitors at the range, be-
sides the visiting teams and the Off
GERS accompanying them, were Col. j.
H. Estill and Col. A. R. Lawton. Both
were greatly interested, for, though
not actively in the military now, they
yet do all they can for it's encourage
ment. Capt. Coney received a letter
to-day from Gen. w. w. Gordon, who
is at White Sulphur Springs, extend
ing congratulations upon the success

Yards PrOfifed.
The sweepstakes and bullseye shoot
ing was not as general as it will be
during the remaining days of the shoot
When it is known what results can be
obtained there will be more trying for
bulleyes. The bullseyes yesterday net
ted As cents each at 500 yards and 80
cents each at 200 Twelve shots are
sold for 81, so that, at 200 yards. for
instance, one making two bullseyes out
of twelve shots, cleared expenses. This
is within the possibilities for a fairly
good shot, and there will doubtless be
more bullseye tickets bought.
Two targets are reserved at each of
the ranges for bullseye and sweep
stakes shooting. This leaves four tar
gets for the matches. The association
also sells practice shots, at the rate of
l cent each, and teams can thus get
the advantage of practice very cheap.
The only sweepstakes match of the
morning was won by Capt F. c. Will
son. 1t was shot at 200 yards, and
the following were the scores: Coul-
ton, 40; Reaves, Al; Wilson, As; Myers,
81, and Tunno, 40.

Out in Iowa they are talking about
making it an offense punishable by
law when a disciple of Isaac Walton
forsakes the paths of truth and wan
ders in the labyrinths that are so in
viting when stories of big fish and
how they were caught are told. Though
such a law would not apply in Geor-
gia, yet that legislative body is to
enact that punishment is to be melted
out to those guilty of distortions of
the size of the fish and the manner
or their taking is enough to render
Georgia sportsmen sensible of the
enormity of such offenses. Since the
knowledge of what Iowa purposes do
ing has spread far and wide. there
is, of course, no possibility that the
story told by a young Savannahian,
just back from the Sapphire country
of North Carolina.
A Savannahian in 1t.
1t was at Lake Fairfield that the Sa-
MAMMALIAN spent his vacation. He is
an ardent angler, and nothing gives
him more pleasure than to hook a
beautiful trout and make a capture.
All fishermen who have tasted of the
real pleasures of the sport know what
it is to catch a mountain trout, and
how wary and wise those fish. as a
rule, are. The young Savannahian
knew. but he found the Lake Fair
field denizens the most suspicious of
all the mountain trout of his &C
Quaintance.
without waste of time. the sports
man repaired to the lake. He had his
rod, and was ready for business. He
selected a fly from his stock, and made
several casts. Though he could see
beautiful trout down beneath the sur
face, not one could be beguiled into
even an investigation of his lure. He
took off that fly and tried another,
but the results were no more encour-
aging. Several times he made these
changes. but there was nothing to
it." Not a rise could he secure.
Then he thought about other bait.
He got some crawf1sh and proceeded
to ascertain what attraction these
toothsome delicacies might have for
the trout. II was the same old story
a coldly deliberative eye would be
turned toward the bait, but that was
all. The fierce, wild rush, terminal
ing in the swallowing of the bait, the
quick sharp tug and the battle be-
tween fish and fisherman, did not
come.
Changed His Bait.
Crawfish were discarded for grass
hoppers, which are sometimes re-
garGed as excellent bait. The trout
didn't want grasshoppers, either, when
to take them in meant that hooks
would come along too. Grasshoppers
too, had to be passed up, and the ang-
ler's next effort was with little green
frogs, secured with great difficulty.
1t was the same old story.
Finally another trial with a fly re-
suited in one poor deluded little trout
finding its way into the fisherman's
basket. The little fish had never been
properly instructed by the older one,
and ii fell an easy prey.
On going to the hotel the angler was
hailed with delight, mingled with as

AFTER TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
Mrs. Moore Sues Her Husband for
AIimOny.

A1imOny.
After twenty-five years of married
life, during which time Mrs. Catha-
rine Jane Moore AYERS that she has
been continually mistreated by her
husband Thomas A. Moore, the diff
ferences between man and wife are to
be aired in court. Yesterday
Mrs. Moore filed her application for
alimony for the maintenance of her
self and minor children, and asked
that she be awarded the custody of
the two children.
Mr.. Moore has in bank about $4,000,
and this she asks the court to protect
pending the disposition of the alimony
application. In accordance with the
petition, Judge Barrow ordered that
the money remain intact until further
order.
The date for the hearing has been
set for Sept. 2. Among the specific
acts of cruelty recited in Mrs. Moore's
application is that at one time her
husband struck her over the left tenn
pie with a buggy whip, inflicting a
severe wound. Mrs. Moore is repre-
sented by Twiggs & Oliver.

wished to explain that the Standard

City Attorneys Advice.
The Council has been advised by
City Attorney Adams that as the mat
ter now stands the court will have
to enjoin the city from improving the
park, because a resolution having de-
clared the place a park, it is by legis-
lative action in care of the Park and
Tree Commission. He advised that
Council rescind the resolution making
an appropriation for improvements,
and stated that then the further ques-
lions in the case will be as to facts;
whether or not the property owners
had any prescriptive rights or whether
prescriptive rights could be acquired
If the people have been questioning
the rights of vehicles to be driven on
or across the park, as to obtain pre-
scriptive rights by usage such usage
must be quiet, uninterrupted and
peaceful.
Besides Mayor Myers, who presided
at the conference, and City Attorney
Adams, the following aldermen were
present: R. L. Colding, F. F. Jones.

COMING PLAYS
AND PLAYERS.
"McFadden'S Row of Flats This Weeks
Attraction.

The renovating of the theater for the
present season has about been COM
pleted. An improvement which will
please all of it's patrons is the eIeva-
ton of the back rows of seats in the
orchestra. It is now possible to sit in
any seat in the theater and get an un-
INSTRUCTED view of the stage. Manager
Seeskind says that there is now not
a poor seat in the house.
In looking over the various farces
which have fitted before the public
gaze, an impartial and unbiased judg-
ment would award first place as a
good thing to "McFadden's Row of
Flats" The frolicsome hodge-podge
comes here next Friday matinee and
night, Sept. 5. In farce comedy colo
quail, this farce goes the limit, and
from what one sees nowadays it is
possible to get more amusement and
laughter out of the Flats than from
a cycle of plain, ordinary, everyday
artistic comedians. Much of the fun
depends upon the fun makers, and a
merrier bunch than those who cavort
the stage could not be picked from
any theatrical agency. Bobbie Ralston
will be there, and among the other
favorites are Arthur Whitelaw and
James K. Wesley, the two rival can
didates for alderman, playing McFad-
den and Muldoon. Miss Emma Italia,
an exceedingly clever singer and
dancer; Miss Mae Donohue, without a
peer as a character actress; Jerry Sui
livan, another irresistibly funny little
fellow, who with Bobbie Ralston, play
