1t is promised that there will be

satisfactory, and the change is prom
Used for to-day
The service Tuesday was far from
good, and that of yesterday little bet
ter. The transfer system was used,
and the schedules became so badly dis
arranged that at times cars were held
up for from half TO three-quarters OF
an hour.
Yesterday the transfer system was
abolished, and the Thunderbolt cars,
by the Waters avenue line, ran through
to the fair grounds. From that point
until about o'clock. the only way in
which fair visitors could return to the
city was via Thunderbolt. This re-
quired considerable additional time and
caused much complaint. To cap the
climax for more than an hour, there
were no cars either way. The first
delay was caused by an accident to one
of the cars, which disarranged the
schedule so badly that the remainder
of the afternoon was required in get
ting things straight.
The cars that left the grounds about
6 o'clock We're badly mixed. Three
cars arrived at once, one directly be-
hind the other at the point where the
transfers are usually made to the fair
ground cars. The first car ran out
on the switch. and it's passengers
changed and took the car directly to
the rear. This car and the one direct
ly behind it ran into the city. When
the second and third cars had proceed
ed. the first car ran back to the
grounds again. In the meantime a car
which had passed on up to the fair
grounds was held at the passing point

Tomorrow is Savannah Day. and
every effort will be put forth by the
fair management TO make it one of
the big days. Considerable interest Is
being taken in the day by Savannah
merchants. and the management VIII
use every means to bring Savannah
prominently before the visitors.
At a meeting of the Retail Mer-
chants Association yesterday, it was
decided to close all the retail stores at
O'Clock tomorrow afternoon. The
move was started some weeks ago
and when placed before the merchants,
all were heartily in favor of it. By
giving the half holiday the merchants
win fttingly recognize the day, and at
the same time allow their clerks and
employees to attend the exhibitions.
The City Exchange will probably
close its Offices at the same hour on
Savannah Day. A request has been
made of the trade bodies and of the
Wholesale Merchants Association to
close their stores at the same hour.
There is little doubt but that all will
acquiesce, and that Friday afternoon
will find all the stores of the city
closed.
There was a general holiday appear
ance to the entire city yesterday The
merchants along Broughton street
have displayed flags from the tops Of
their buildings, and in many cases flags
and buntings have been hung from
the windows. In one or two instances
the decorations have been more elab-
crate, and festoons and wreaths are
hung from all available points. 1t lis
probable that more flags will be dis
played to-day, the rain of yesterday
interfering with further decorations.
