Should the promoters of the athletic
club decide to pull off a bout between
Kid Mccoy and Marvin Hart or any
other good boxer of that class, sports
from all parts of the South will be here
to witness the go. The Jacksonville
Metropolis commenting on the bout
says that I'm the event of two such
noted boxers meeting in Savannah. a
large delegation from that city will
come up to see them do the act. The
only obstacle in the way is the purse
a large sum having to be guaranteed
the principals before they will come
here 1t is very likely, however, the
club will put up the necessary coin,
and that the match will be made for
some time in April.
Tommie Foster, the fast little horse
which captured the half-mile dash yes
terday afternoon, is regarded as one of
the most likely animals in the South,
and the prediction is made that he will
be heard from the coming season.
Alex Doyle, the owner, will send the
animal out on the circuit, beginning
with the opening of the track at Wash
ington, d. c., few weeks hence. The
horse is not only fleet of foot, but is
one of the prettiest animals ever own
ed in Savannah.
Terry McGovern and Bonnie Yanger
have selected the Fort Erie Club as the
place of settling their differences. The
bout will be for twenty rounds on the
night of March 10. Besides the purse
they will make side issue of $1,000
each on the result.
Two championship battles will be
settled this week, the bantamweight,
between Harry Forbes and And Tokell
of England. at Detroit. Friday night,
and the featherweight by Young Cor
bett and Eddie Hanlon, at San Fran
cisco. Forbes and Corbett viii defend
the title against the challengers.

NEW ORLEANS THRoNGED
by the Visitors to the Mardi Gras
Festivities.

Festivities.
New Orleans, Feb. 23.-Rex made his
triumphal entry into New Orleans to-
day. and the Krewe of Proteus pre-
scented their gorgeous pageant to-
night in the presence of perhaps the
largest multitude of people ever
gathered in the streets of this carnival
city. The number of strangers ex-
ceeded that of any previous year.
Aside from the homage paid the
King, the feature of the afternoon
parade was the popular demonstration
in honor of Admiral Schley and Gen.
Wheeler both of whom had been Great
sion, They rode near the head of the
procession, through solid masses of
shouting men and past crowded gale
ries of applauding women.
At the conclusion of the parade Adj
miral Schley, accompanied by Mayor
Capdevielle and Cen Wheeler, was es-
corted by the Continental Guards i'll
their picturesque costumes of the Rev
olution, to the armory of the COM
mand, where, in behalf of the Schley
Pleasure Club, City Attorney Gilmore
presented the Admiral with a loving
cup, bearing an engraving of the flag
ship Brooklyn. The Admiral made a
felicitOus acknowledgment of the gift.
Tonight PToteus rode through streets
congested with people at the head of an
unusually magnificent pageant. The
subject chosen was Rider Haggard's
novel cleopatra" and the thrilling
story of the Egyptian Queen was illus
trated in twenty beautiful floats.
Following the parade, Proteus was
host at brilliant ball at the French
Opera House. Admiral Schley, Gen.
Wheeler, Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root
were the distinguished guests.
Nearly every state in the Union was
represented in the attendance, which
also included many guests from abroad,
and the officers of the battleship Texas
and the French cruiser Tage. The cur
tain rose at 1O:15 o'clock, presenting the
maskers grouped in d striking tableau
The maskers occupied the floor for an
hour, after which the ball became gem
eraI.
New Orleans, Feb. 23-With thous-
ands of visitors here from every Sec
ton of the country and with every ar
irving train swelling the congestion of
strangers on the streets, the New Or
leans carnival is now in full swing.
The five trunk lines for the past week
have been pushed to the limit of their
resources in handling the travel to the
city. All trains are from two to five
hours late. Every hotel is crowded to
its capacity, and hundreds of boarding
houses are full to OVERCOMING While
half-dozen or more steamers are pro-
Viding sleeping accommodations.
The weather to-day was perfect, and
! the routes of the parades presented a
mass of color. Canal and the inter-
secting streets held great multitudes
of people when Rex the King of the
Carnival, made his entry into the city
Thousands on the river front greeted
the royal flotilla. The merry monarch
was escorted through the streets by
the peers of his realm, and a numer-
GUS military and naval contingent
Miss Alice Roosevelt. Admiral
Schley, Gen. Joe Wheeler and other
distinguished guests viewed the pa
rade from the balconies of the Canal
Street Club.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Feb. 25.-The undertone of
the stock market continued to be de-
pressed. today, although the movement OF
prices was feverish and irregular through
out There was quite a general show of
strength at the opening and there were
individual points of strength at different
times afterwards, but nothing in any way
of gains was left at the close,a which Was
dull and weak. The tightening money
market continued to be the dominant fac
tor in dampening any speculative enthus-
iasm. Time money rates worked closer,
SO that lenders were practically unWlllng
to do business at lower rates than AZ or
per cent for any period. The sub-treas-
ury was not called upon, today, to make
any further transfer to Chicago, but New
York exchange at Chicago declined 10
points to 40 cents discount, showing con-
tinuance of the pressure for funds. Yes
-terday's trasfer through the sub-tfeasury
combined with very large customs collec-
lions brought the loss of the market to
the government institution for the day up
tc $2,2l9000, making the aggregate loss
since Friday on that account 50, S39 0Qe.
Loan bills made their temperance in the
foreign exchange market today, and
were principally responsible for the easier
tone in that market. The lack of confir-
nation of Yesterdays rumors regarding
Wabash and ST. Louis G San Francisco
as to possible deals connecting those rail-
roads with other large systems, naturally
led to realizing. The advance in Rock
Island had the appearance of an effort
to revive the influence of those rumors.
The special pressure against Metropolitan
Street Railway was also regarded as
rather ominouS. The rise in st. Paul was
due to the possibility that the directors;
at tomorrows meeting may take action
on the proposed new stock issue. Anal
gamated Copper felt the benefit of an ad-
vance in the selling price to Europe of
the metal. The bond market was quite
broad but irregular. Total sales, par
value, $2.450,000.

At midnight, Tuesday, there was
every appearance that a snow storm
was in progress. Stray flakes had
been falling at intervals during the
evening. but it did not begin in earnest
until after IL o'clock, when the snow
came down as thickly as in any storm
we have had for the winter. 1t was
very damp, and what few pedestrians
there were abroad at that hour were
soon covered with it. But the storm
could not hold the pace with which it
began, and ceased when about an inch
had fallen.
