One morning the yacht Linda steam

or three friends and myself sitting on
the upper deck, about eight feet from
the water, each armed with a shotgun.
The Linda was headed up the coast

speed, and in a short time into the fly
ing fishes, which rose at or near the
bow and went Swimming away in
graceful lines. The first flyer went to
the left, and was cleverly dropped by
one of my companions, who killed an
other with his left barrel. The third
fish fell to me. 1t rose twenty feet
ahead with a vigorous trembling of
the body produced by the screw-like
motion, and dashed away three feet

the central figure. Her gowns were
exquisite, but they were far from being
the only thing TO admire. I'VE all
have to wear our little MASKS said
she, and wore her own with much
grace, the accomplished woman of the
world, but let the discerning few read
the real woman behind it, and even
discarded it wholly, as her heart COM
manded. In the proposal scene in the
second act, she was at her best.
Mr.. Abingdon was a very satisfying
hero, in appearance as well as in man
ner, and one was grateful to him for
reading behind the mask, instead of be-
ing stupid and blind, as stage and
fiction lovers have a habit of being.
Perhaps, he too, was at his best in
the proposal scene, and certainly his
confidential chat with his brother be-
fore hand was we'll done on both sides.
1t is a clever stage effect when the
lights are turned of at the end of
the act, and he stood alone, thinking

It has been a regretable circum-
stance in connection with almost all
the best plays produced here this sea-
son that the audience has been small.
Whatever the explanation, and, in any
light, it can hardly be a fiattering
one, TO Savannah, the slimness of
the audience has, with few exceptions
been co-incident with the merit of the
play. In the case of Miss Amelia
Bingham and her very remarkable com
pany of players, there was, of course,
the plausible excuse of the Georgia
Savannah football game in the after
noon, in connection with attractions of
the last day at the fair, but, while this
might account for the size of the mat
inee, it could hardly explain the fact
that the theater was not packed last
night to the doors.
The play, a society comedy Of to-day
with a vein of seriousness running I'M
der the satire, was one OF the cleverest
given here this year and eXcelled all,
perhaps, in the finish and accuracy of
its setting and the perfection of its
stage management. It IUlu ltllo punt
of view alone, it was an artistic de-
light. In the two scenes shown, the
appointments were perfect, but the
second, the Frisky Mrs. Johnson's
apartment in Paris. was not only love
~ but unusual. The room shown was
circular, all white, with fTescoes of
pink cherubs of the paneled walls, re-
cessed curtained windows, real doors
with brass knobs, real pictures, and
good ones, on the walls, tied in very
Frenchy fashion, with pink bows, a
pretty pink silk screen, charming white
wood furniture, and many pretty fem
mime details in the way of flowers,
cushions. pictures, and mirrors, besides
madame's boxes from milliner's and
costumer's.
But if the stage setting of the piece
was remarkable, it was merely a fea-
ture of an excellent production, in
which Miss Bingham, charming, clever
natural, affected where 1t became her,
and always thoroughly a woman, was

MANY FINE CHICKENS.

The Prize Winners of the BeImont
Farm and VaIdasta Farm VIII Re
on Exhibition at the Fair Grounds
To-day and Tomorrow They
VIII Be for Sale.
The poultry display at the fair was
one of the best the state ever had. The
Belmont Farm of Smyrna, Ca. and
the Valdosta Poultry Farm of Valdos-
ia bore away the principle prizes.
The chickens displayed by these
farms are very fine. and they are for
sale. Mr.. Loring Brown, general man
ager of the Belmont Farm, and one Of
the proprietors, said last night that
ne and Mr.. Oliver. proprietor of the
Valdosta Farm, will remain over until
tuesday for the purpose of getting
tnelr birds in ship shape, and during
tnls time they will take orders for
Whatever the people wish.
A glance at the awards in this issue
VIII show what birds won prizes. Mr..
Brown said that Savannah has been a
particularly interesting point for him,
lie came here two years ago and dis
played his poultry and swine. Since
then, he has sold more than 81 900
worth of chickens in this vicinity and
many pigs. Several farms are being
carried on now successfully around
Savannah, and several birds from these
farms We're shown at the fair last
week, which compare favorably with
those of any farm.
Mr.. Brown said that chicken-raising
is a business at which anybody can
make money if they enter into it in
earnest. 1t is clean and easy and in
teresting. In some sections people go
into it. because it is clean or interest
ing and they forget that they must
apply the same principles to it that
they have to apply to any undertaking
to insure success. And they sometimes
fail, as they would fail in any under
taking.
But where a man or woman enters
1t, he said, ITO make a living out Of
1t, and exercise care and are economical
Mt all, they are sure to succeed" Mr..
Brown was reared in Middle Georgia.
He is young man. He began the
poultry business more than fifteen
years ago in a small way. He has de-
voted his entire time and attention to
it, and is to-day one of the foremost
men in his line in the South. He Is
glad to give anybody who likes poul-
try his experience.
Mr.. Oliver is a native of New Jer-
sey. He came to Georgia to show ms
fowls at the State Fair in Valdosta. He
bore away many prizes and liked the
little city so we'll that he has made IL
his home. He has one of the most
complete farms in New Jersey in the
whole country. but he prefers to i've
in the South and operates both his
farm in the North and the one in Geor-
gia. Mr.. Oliver is likewise a young
man.

Here is an incomplete list of the peo-
pie who make guesses from the out

The minister who overhears a police
man talking about some levee resort
and who then tells his congregation

The reformer who frequents radical

clusion that the capitalists of the Unit

and elevation of the working class.
The business man who reads a

per and who becomes convinced that
trade union and socialist agitators are
organizing subterranean conspiracy
for the purpose of despoiling and per-
haps guillotining all persons who now
own property.
The Socialist who reads the news

against socialism and who announces
10 the world that ministers are hypo-
| critics and 'grafters," and that they
nave entered into a conscious con-
spiracy with capitalism to maintain
the present social system and to share
the profits.

the cartoons in the Rams Horn and
who seems when he is on the platform
to believe that the chief feature of ev-

COMEDY AND COMIC OPERA
THIS WEEKS PLAY BILLS
Nat Wills in "A Son of Rest 'The Tyranny Of
Tears" by the School Of Acting, and
E'The Mockino Bird"

ment, Nat NJ. Wills in "A Son of Rest. "
Both Mr.. Wills and the play are new
to Savannah theater goers, but the
management assures the patrons of the
theater that for an evening OF tun, no
better attraction can be offered. 1t
is filed with songs and dances of Il
most entertaining character, end eN-
celent comedy, with numerous Vaude-
VILE specialties interspersed. Mr. Wills
is an ideal impersonator Of the every
day easyg going tramp whom he por-
trays with such good humOr and spirit
that his audiences never tires of his
jokes and songs. The piece itself is
musical comedy finely staged, and
goWned and with an ensemble of over
sixty people. The Baltimore American
says of the play: 1T is a wonderfully
funny thing, with all the consistency
and logic that usually accompany must
cal comedy, and no more. Wherever
il is funniest to keep up the thread of
the story it is kept up; where it would
be funner to drop the thread and do
absurdly incOngT uOus things that is
the unhcsitatingly chosen course. Wills
impresses the audience at first with be
ing loud and foolish. The audience
doesn't keep that impression long, but
looking back one is unable to put his
finger on The exact spot where the
opinion changed. The reason is that
II oil got so suddenly funny and so
funny suddenly that all ideas of crit-
cism were blotted out by one vast, last
ing, permeating tickle running through
the entire system. There is the usual
confusion of personalities out of which
the star makes much in the way of
laughs, leading to numerous encores
and curtain calls. In his tramp act,
his drug store satipe, his songs and
local hits Wills won his audiences and
had finally to rush on the next turn to
keep from being exhausted. Scenical-
ly the play is a beauty. 1t might be
fair to say that in it's scenery and
its music Wills comedy has a vehicle
that ornaments 1t must lavishly. The
costume and the stage pictures are
beautiful without a single exception"
"The MOckinE Bird"
Saturday matinee and night the
comic opera, The Mocking Bird"
will be seen for the first time in Sa-
vannah. 1t is said to be so simple,
sincere and pretty that its very con-
trast to the usual run gives it a
charm and value. But whatever the
cause, THE MOcking Bird" accord
ing to the reports is dainty, well put
together, bright, humorous, coherent
in plot, and attractive in its settings
and costumes, while the company
which is headed by Miss Madeline
Besley, is said to be a superior one.

pretty music for the piece, including
a number of neat trios and duets, and
