ANNUAL REGATTA OF
S. B. R. YACHT CLUB

There was a great demonstrat ton at
Thunderbolt yesterday afternoon when
the Nicholas Onboro SKINNED up the
river sixteenth of a mile in advance
of her nearest competitor in the an
nual regatta of the S. B. r. Yacht
Club, colored. There was still greater
confusion on board the Louise, which
conveyed some hundred or more en-
thusiastic followers of the race, who
had watched every manuever from the
fall of the flag to the finish.
Though the crafts entered in the an
nual races of the 5. B. r. club are
not after the lines of a Herreshoff or
a Fife, yet just as much interest is
conferred in the results. and yesterday
the victory of the Nicholas Onboro, of
the White Bluff fleet seemed to have
met with popular approval.
The race was from Thunderbolt,
starting at the Louise wharf, to War
saw and return. There were eight
starters in the race with Wild Bird,
of the Mosquito fleet a slight favorite
in public opinion. Going out the Wild
Bird had the best of the race in the
head winds. but in the run home she
was quickly overhauled by the Nicho-
las Onboro. who finished first by
several hundred yards with Wild Bird
second.
The Louise, steamer, followed the
racers over the course, having on board
several hundred excur sionists and a
brass band

HOW PEDLAR PALMER BESTED
GEORGE DIXON IN ENGLAND.

According to the account of the re-
cent bout between Pedlar Palmer and
George Dixon, which was decided in
London a few nights ago. the battle
was one of the best in England in
years. These two met in this country
several years ago. when they were
both at the hight of their fame. In
their last fight Palmer was the favor
lite in the betting at 2 to l, and when
the Englishman was declared the win
ner on points his hackers won a pile
of money. Dixon fought with his old
time vim and skill. The London Sport
ing Life has this to say of the mill:
Palmer was the first to appear in
the ring. He was accompanied into
mer. and Bill Chester Dixon had An
drew Tokell Charlie Smith, George
Corfield and George Justice for at
tendants. Sid Yushtoni was referee,
and Tom Goodwin. A. B. A., timekeep-
er. When they they faced each other
it was seen that Palmer was the
heavier.
Round One. After little sparring Dix
on led lightly with his left, but he re-
ceived a hot left on the ribs in return.
The Englishman at once began to force
the pace, and after scoring twice with
his left he banged his right on to the
Americans ribs. A mix-up followed,
with Palmer having slightly the bet
ter of the exchanges.
Round Two. Dixon was quickly at work
at the second meeting, and placed a
couple of points to his credit before mis-
opponent gained an opening. Then
Palmer planted his left on the visit
ors mouth Both boxed we'll. and
there was little to choose between them
in the ensuing rallies.
Round Three They spared cautiously
at the start. Palmer tried his left, but
came short, and Dixon steadied him
with a right to the body. A moment
later the Canning Town lad shot out
his left on his rivals ribs, and follow
ed it up with a left and right on the
face. Dixon then held his own we'll
to the end of the bout.
Round Four. A clever boxing exhibit
ton, with honors easy.
Round Five-Palmer set about his
man the moment they came together.
He led off with a left flush on the
mouth, and as Dixon was short with a
swinging right, helped himself to an
other couple of points before the Amer
lean could get going. They were nippy
on their feet. and boxed at top pres
sure.
Round SiX-When the sixth stage of
the struggle opened Dixon tried to
bore in, but Palmer avoided his rushes,
ard used his left on the visitors body
rather effectively This punishment
steadied Dixon, who was having all
the worst of the argument when the
gong sounded.
Round Seven-DiXon came up fresh
and we'll and, slipping through Pal
mer's guard had the best of the early
exchanges. A right on the body stopped
him. and the English boxer soon made
up his deficiency, and was holding the
upper hand when the round terminated.
Round Eight (and lasO-Both set
tied down Immediately, and after Pal
mer had scored with his left and right
Dixon landed with his left. They tray
eled like racers right up to the close
Palmer scored two points to Dixon
one, hence the issue was never in
doubt, and Pedlar Palmer wound up
a meritorious winner of a fast, scien-
tific and enjoyable contest

SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JULY A. 1908

in the North could have gone through
the spiritual struggle that Robert +.
Lee went through during the days
when war was threatened. In the
North those men that waVered were
choosing between a low motive and
high one. Robert E. Lee was beset
by two conflicting high motives. That
he chose to follow that high motive
which kept him with his state The Out
look believes to have been an error or
political judgment; but it was not
moral error, not even an error OF po-
litical morality. He who is loyal can
not be a traitor and Lee and the
men of his stamp were as loyal 10
their conscientious convictions as were
the men who fought against them. The
test of patriotism, like the test of any
other moral quality, is not success, but
loyalty to conviction; and by that test
Robert E. Lee stands to-day among
the purest, though among the most
tragically misled and misunderstood, of
patriots.
One of the most pathetic, from one
point of view, from another one of the
most stimulating and enlightening, ut
terances that have come to us from the
desperate days before the breaking out
of the war is in a letter in which Lee
mentions his own son, an officer in the
regular army at the time: THE times
are indeed calamitous. The bright
ness of Gods countenance seems turn
ed from US, and his mercy stopped in
it's blissful current Tell Curtis he
must consult his own Judgment rea-
son, and conscience as to the course
he may take. l do not wish him to be
guided by my wishes or example. If
l have done wrong, let him do better
The present is a momentous question,
which every man must settle for him
self, and upon principle" The man who
wrote these words can teach lessons
of patriotism to America of to-day
The defeat of his armies, which meant
triumph to the South as we'll as to the
North, may have changed his concep-
ton of what duty 10 his country signi-
fed; but his loyalty to that duty as
he conceived it was as steadfast as
after his defeat. 1t is such steadfast
LOYALTY that is the essence of patriot
ism. At some other time we may in
quire into the nature of the two di-
verse conceptions of patriotism which
contended for supremacy during the
days of the Civil War. 1t is our pur-
pose here to emphasize the truth
that those who were loyal to the one
conception were as truly patriots as
those who were loyal to the other.
The real issue was not between pa
triotism and the want of it, but be-
tween two forms of patriotism, one
state, the other national. If willing
ness to sacrifice what is passionately
priced next to honor itself is any
criterion as to the degree of patriotism
that begets such sacrifice, then those
Southerners of whom Robert E. Lee
is the type are to be counted among
the patriots whose lives constitute the
real riches of the nation

POPE LEO'S PHYSICIANS
KNOWN IN SAVANNAH.

The illness of Pope Leo Kill, the
subject that now engrosses the atten-
ton of the entire world, has elected
as much interest in Savannah as in
other parts of the country, though the
average reader is unable to secure any
accurate idea of the condition Of the
august patient because of the wide
range of statements made in the bull
letins, which at one moment show the
Pope as at deaths door and the next
describe him as dressing himself, un-
assisted, and reading Horace with
avidity.
A number of physicians were asked
for their opinion of the possibility of
such rapid changes in condition be-
ing possible. In the majority of cases
they think them not only possible but
probable. Dr. ]. G. Van Marter, in dis
cussing the matter said: Doctors,
like insurance agents figure on the
law of averages, and among patients,
as among the insured there are often
exceptions to this law.
THE Pope has proved himself an
exception TO all general rules by reach
ing so great an age, and the fact that
he is able to resist the advances of
his malady is but further exemplifi-
cation of the powers that have ena-
bled him to reach his present age. His
death is only a question OF a few
days now, however, for at his age it
is impossible for him to regain the
strength once lost. 1t is probable that
he would have died already but for
the heart stimulants which are con-
stantly administered
DR.. Van Marter's views are the more
interesting in that he is acquainted
with two of the physicians now at
tending the Pope, Dr. Giuseppe Ros-
soni, whose lectures he attended while
student in the University of Rome.
and DR.. Lapponi. whom he knows very
Slightly. He also knows by reputa-
ton the third of the attending physi-
clans, DR.. Mazzon. Any bulletin that
Rossoni and Mazzoni sign, DR.. Van
Marter states, can be accepted as rep
resenting the actual state of the pa
tient.
DR.. Van Marter lived in Rome for
some twenty years. He is one of the
only two Americans that ever received
a degree from the University of Rome
The other American is Marion Craw-
ford, the novelist. The Pope's physi-
clans stand very high in the medical
profession, DR.. Van Marter saws.
though not so high as does another
physician of Rome. who. though at
one time suggested as a consulting
physician, was not called because of
his connection with the government.
This is Dr. Baccelli, one of the most
prominent physicians of Europe. ex-
president of the International Medical
Congress, and at present Minister of
Public instruction in the cabinet of
Italy.

1t is practically ascertained that
Troops c of the United States Cav
airy, which will attend the encamp-
ment here next week. will remain in
Savannah for a week or more after the
encampment for the purpose of holding
their annual target practice at Avon
dale range.
Acting on a suggestion made by Capt.
johnson of the Sixteenth Infantry, U.
S. A, during the Augusta encampment,
Post Adjutant Walter E. Coney OF the
Interstate Military Rife Association.
wired Col. Nation, the commanding Of
ficer at Fort Thomas. from which the
cavalry troop will be sent asking him
whether the troop designated for duty
here had received their annual prac
tice yet, and suggesting that, if it had
not, the Avondale range would be avail
able.
This telegram was sent yesterday
morning after conference with Capt.
w. G. Austin, executive officer of the
association. and a reply was received
later in the day in which It was strong
~ intimated that the offer would be
accepted. The telegram from Col.
Nation was as follows:
Troop designated has had no target
practice. Is your range amply pro-
vided with material and new targets.
Troops can take nothing from here
but ammunition for practice. Nation,
Col. Commanding
Since the Avondale range is perfectly
equipped in every respect there is lit
tie doubt that the range will be used
for the purpose. telegram, setting
forth briefly the advantages offered by
the range. will be sent to Col. Nation
this morning.
The coming of the troop, fully 100
strong, for target practice will be a
big occasion for the Savannah mill
tarymen and riflemen. Contests will
be arranged with the teams of the
local companies. and. since there are
some crack shots in the regular troop,
there is no doubt but that they will
prove interesting.
The government allows each man to
shoot 400 rounds of ammunition. This
will mean that the practice Will last
a week or more. The officers and men
who have been appraised Of the proposed
practice of the regulars on the range
are enthusiastic over the prospect for
getting the men here.
If the regulars come to Savannah to
practice on the range it will be the
first step toward government recogni-
ton of the range, and will probably
lead to it's general use by the regulars
stationed in Georgia. This would, of
course, mean that the government
would assist in the maintenance Of the
range. If the men are pleased with
the range. as there is no doubt they
will be. there is little doubt that other
troops will be sent in the future.
