SAVANNAH GOLFERS
DEFEATED JACKSONVILLE
BY Score Of Nine to Three or
Six Up,
BY Score

savannah golfers triumphed over the
Jacksonville players on the Savannah
links yesterday afternoon, defeating
them six up. The game while one
sided by the score, was nevertheless in
teresting and holly contested, and a
number of good plays were made by
both teams.
Capt. Hardee of Savannah, led his
team mates in playing and easily van
pushed his opponent, Ferris, by the
handsome score of Z to 0. Saussy won
from Anderson, 2 to 0, while Barnett of
Jacksonville, defeated Bryan by the
score of 2 to o. and Grower, of the same
team won from Comber by to o. Moses
and Haywood tied on no score.
Play Was Fast.
The ground of the links was just wet
enough for fast play. The home play
ers, of course, had the advantage by
being acquainted with the links, which
was a decided factor in their favor. The
visitors put up pretty game, despite
this handicap. and but for the large
score of Hardee over Ferris, would have
made better showing for the match.
The visitors came up on the morning
train, fully prepared for and confident
of victory. They went to the links
early in the afternoon, and put in some
little time in practice. The game start
ed about o'clock and lasted until after
4. Quite gallery of club members and

ing from rheumatism, but he had no
idea of quitting. He shot a buck deer
that gave him four days food, and
kept on after the big game. On the
seventeenth day he caught sight of
the moose several times, and saw that
he was pretty we'll tired. On the eight
teenth day he noticed blood on the
trail, indicating that the game could
not hold out long. At p. m. that day
the hunter heard a loud believing, and
the next instant saw the moose charg-
ing down upon him like a runaway
locomotive. Up went "Bill's" rifle, and
seven shots were sent in rapid sue
cesion at the bull but none of them
seemed to have much effect. In three
more jumps the bull would be upon
him, and there stood BILL" his back
against tree, with only one cartridge
left In the magazine.
At such a critical time as this a less
courageous or less experienced hunter
would have become ratified, and that
would have been fatal, for a mad bull
moose is more dangerous than any
bear or other animal in the Maine
woods. Just as the great antlers
seemed swinging over his head, bill"
took steady aim and sent his last
shot at the moose. 1t missed the head,
where he had intended 1t to go, but

the entire length of the backbone,
cutting the hide open as clearly as
II 1t had been done with knife, and
the bull dropped in his tracks directly
at the hunters feet. II was a. mon
ster weighing LIPS pounds. and said to
be, next to the one shot at King Bart
lett Lake, the largest moose ever
killed in Maine.
That night "Bill" Douglass would
have frozen to DEATH had It not been
for the moose hide. He rolled him
self in all his blankets and then wrap
ped himself up in the warm hide, so
that he slept as warm as a bug in a
rug. When morning came, however, he
was in a tight fix. He had dreamed
that some one was trying to squeese
him to death, and when he awoke he
found that there was something in
the dream. The moose hide had frozen
stiff and hard as iron, and 1t was some
time before he could get at his knife,
with which after much hard work, he
cut his way out. Making a sled of sap
lings, he hauled his prize home; and
1t was a $500 prize, too.

voCABULARIEs OF DOGS.

A Terrier That is Believed to Know
ESQ Words, as Many as Some Men.
From the New Orleans Times Demo-
crat.
How many words are there in the
vocabulary of the average dog?" asked
the man who takes considerable inter-
est in the canine tribe, and more par
ticularly in that class of dogs having
some training. Here is a question no
man can answer certainly, and yet I
believe we may get within reason
able range of the truth by little re-
Fiction. Pet dogs as a rule have a
much larger vocabulary than any other
kind. Trained dogs, the kind we find
with circuses and on the stage, proba-
bly, come second, and the others are
ranged along according to the lives
they lead. Dogs learn words much
more rapidly than we suppose. In the
first place, this animal Is an awfully

peatedly II soon learns 70 associate
1t with a certain object. Take the we'll

soon learns what is meant by gun,

on. Experienced hunters can furnish
many evidences of the understanding
Of dogs when Il comes TO the words
and phrases most frequently used in
connection with the sport.
"Of course, all dogs become familiar
with the commands used In directing
them during the hunt. and under other

A LONG MOOSE CHASE.
Maine Hunter Followed His Prize
for Eighteen Days.

""c hunter FOilOWed HIS Prize
for Eighteen Days.
Bangor, Me-, letter in New York
Tribune.
The longest moose hunt on record in
Maine is credited TO William Douglass,
of Eustis, who now, at that age of
eighty-six, still pursues the calling of
guide for hunters and kills his full
share of game every season.
Douglass was born in the woods
of Maine and has never
been out of the shade of the
pines for longer than a few days at a
time. All he knows he has learned in
the woods, and he is as much at home
in the depts of the wilderness as any
bear or wildcat. He can tramp for days
without firing, and, although he never
has used compass, he canot remem-
Der the time when he was lost or in
least doubt which was the shortest way
home.
The long moose hunt upon which
rests much of the fame of "Oid Bill"
Douglass lasted eighteen days, but it
yielded prize that paid him we'll for
all his work and exposure and for the
danger he encountered at the last,
when the Infatuated bull charged upon
him and fell before the last shot in his
rifle. The season had been a poor one
with few large moose and as money
was scarce and fine moose heads worth,
mounted from $500 to $500" Bill"thought
1t worth his while to go out looking
for the biggest bull in the woods.
1t was a cold, snowy morning when
"Bill'' started to tramp down his moose
"a difficult undertaking for any man
but he was used to cold. hunger and
hardship, and made up his mind that
If anything worth $500 was wandering
around in the woods he would soon
have it. Completely equipped, and
with provisions for ten or twelve days,
he started to find moose tracks. and
soon came upon just what he wanted
the tracks of a large bull. So familiar
is he with moose and their ways that
he can tell from the size and shape Of
the tracks and from other indications
nearly the weight and height of the
animals, and also its sex. This time he
noticed that the moose had passed be-
tween two trees that stood so closely
together that the animals hide came
in contact with the rough bark,
leaving tufts of hair adhering to both
trees. A little further along he saw
where the moose had thrown It's head
into the air, leaving the mark of an
antler upon a sapltng. From all this
he figured out that the animal was a
bull of great size, not less than 1000
pounds weights and with antlers spread
ing fully sixty inches.

nearly tired out and enraged at pur-
suit, the animal will turn and make

shot For twelve days Douglass hung
on the trail OF the monster moose, and
for twelve cold nights he slept I'm the
woods. The morning OF the thirteenth
day found him out OF food and suffer-

A REPORTER's EXPLOIT.
How He Found nm Operator to Send
His Dispatch.
From Worlds Work.


From Worlds Work.
News of the blowing up and sinking
OF a steamboat on the Ohio river some
distance from Pittsburg reached the
once of a Pittsburg paper one evening
some years ago. A supply of money
hands-a reporter who has since risen
to journalistic prominence-and he was
instructed to get to the scene as rap
idly as possible. A hurried trip to the
station, without stop for anything, en-
abled him to leap on the first express
bound westward. Once on board he
was informed that the train did not
make a stop, after Allegheny. until
about sixty miles beyond his destina-
ton. A cautious hint from a Pullman
porter apprised him Of the presence of
q division superintendent on the train,
and in few minutes he secured an
order on the conductor TO have the
train stopped for him. Reaching the
little station late at night, he asked
the telegraph operator to remain until
he returned. Walking several miles to
secure ais STORY" he returned as
quickly as possible, only to find that
the operator had disregarded his re-
quest and had closed the Office.
With time creeping into morning
hours and the prospect of his work go
ing for naught unless he secured an
operator TO get the story to his office,
he desperately tramped about the I'M
lighted village, only to find that the
man he wanted lived several miles dis
tant. Unsympathizing country folk
who vouched that information through
closed doors could not be induced to
exert themselves further.
The young fellow, thinking hard,
walked back and forth on the railroad
platform. Suddenly he noticed the
sleeping form of a tramp huddled
