HURD AT HIS BEST.

The second benefit performance at
Isle of Hope for the Gainesville suf-
ferers. given last night, was decided
success. A large crowd went out to
see Hurd. the Great, and were well re-
warded for their trip.
The magician is exceptionally clever,
and his feats of sleight-o kept
the audience in a constant state of de-
lighted suspense and expectation. One
of the features of las nights perform
ance was where, from a cornucopia of
wrapping paper the magician produced
several bushels of colored paper and
finally a live duck and a live rabbit.
His other tricks were equally good ard
his pleasant manner and entertaining
conversation adds much to the pleasure
of the performance.
There will be three more perform
ances for this same benefit, a matinee
this afternoon, which was postponed
from yesterday on account of he
weather, and tonight and tomorrow
night. 1t is hoped that large crowds
will go out to see Hurd and thus swell
the fund for the storm sufferers.

REAL ESTATE SALES AT LIVELY PRICES

$3.50 to $275 per acre. Good judges
say that the buyers can resell at a
profit. The property in the city, part
Of lot D, Magazine ward, No. 1872
Reynolds street brought $1,1OO, being
5000 over the fixed price.
The land at the junction of the two
shell roads, the Bonaventure and
Thunderbolt, a very generally admired
piece, was next put up in five-acre
lots. This sold readily at from $3.50 to
$205 per acre.
The best bidding was drawn out on
the land lying between the Bonaven-
ture Cemetery and the Yacht Club,
having a beautiful marsh frontage. and
also fronting on the shell road, and the
trolley road. These lots were of about
one and a half acres each, and they
sold readily at from $3.50 to $3.50 per lot.
The thirteen acres adjoining the ceme-
terry brought $215 per acre.
The Fair Ground Sale.
The piece de resistance" proved to
be the Fair Grounds land, having a
large frontage on Waters avenue, and
on Dale avenue, with roads on both OF
the other sides. There are seventy
eight acres in this tract. and it is re-
garded as one of the most valuable of
the holdings of the company. 1t was
started at $22, 000 and finally knocked

900. The buyer is considered as being
very fortunate in his purchase. 1t Is
not known whether Mr.. Miller repre-
sents himself only, or has others as
ISOLATED with him in the deal.
Several other pieces were sold. and
the sale adjourned until next Tuesday
at which time it Is expected that the
balance of the land will be closed out
The sale foots up about $50 900, and Is
less than a half in value of the entire
holdings of the company. During the
sale the lots adjoining the Meadows
about four hundred, were put in their
entirety, and bid of $4,000 was made
to be submitted to the board of direc-
tors.
shows Real Estate Activity.
The sale was remarkable in many
particulars, and emphasizes the fact
that well located real estate near a
prosperous, growing city like Savan-
nah will always sell readily at fair
prices. 1t shows the confidence felt by
business men in the city and it's flu
ture, many of the bidders being men of
large means and good judges of values
Another conclusion deduced from the
sale is that the time has arrived when
finely paved roads and the trolley lines
between Savannah and Thunderbolt,
will be lined with suburban homes
Many of the purchases made are said
to be for this purpose. AS the auc-
tioneer said, the gap between the two
places is being rapidly closed up, and
buyers on these lines are not apt to
regret their purchases. The next sale
will be looked forward to with great
interest.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-06-11

One of the largest real estate sales
that has taken place in Savannah in
recent years took place yesterday when
Auctioneer c. H. Dorsett offered the
holdings of the Merchants and Me-
chanics Land Company, including the
Fair Grounds and race track.
The sale began at IL o'clock at the
auction rooms of Mr.. Dorsett, No.
% Congress street, west. 1t was one
of considerable magnitude and should
be gratifying to all holders of real es-
tate. There was large attendance,
too, representing all classes of citizens.
Those who had gathered for the sale
were comfortably seated, and maps and
plats were spread out so that each
piece could be readily located and de-
scribed.
The sale was opened by statement
from Mr.. Dorsett of it's nature and
terms; to the effect that the land Of
the Merchants and Mechanics Land
Company and had been selected with
care and good judgment, as to position
with reference to. Savannah and
Thunderbolt, and the rapid enhance
ment of these sections. He explained
that the company having determined
to go out of business had selected this
manner of selling its assets, which ag-
gregated over $125,000 in low valua-
tons, as their capital stock was $780,
900, and their only debt SIT ,000-the
sound condition of the company and
the value of the stock could readily
be determined. Each piece of land had
been carefully valued, at prices deem
ed below the real market value. The
terms of sale were one-fourth cash,
the balance to be divided into three
annual payments, interest at the rate
Of per cent. being charged on defer
red payments, which interest would be
payable semi-annually. 1t was also
stated that the stock of the company
would be taken at par in lieu of the
cash payment or for any deferred pay
ments.
The First Tract Sold.
The first land offered was thirty-five
acres on the north side of Dale ave-
nue., just beyond the Fair Grounds.
This was offered in five-acre lots. AS
each piece was offered the minimum
price was announced. And the re-
suit confirmed the auctioneer's state
ment that the prices fixed by the COM
mittee were low. There seemed, during
the sale, to be no difficulty in getting
the minimum price bid and in almost
every case there was considerable adj
vance obtained on the minimum price.
These thirty-five acres were sold at

Mckinley was a handsome vase of
Italian ware. One of the most elegant
gifts was set of antique silver, which
is supposed to be from the groom
parents, and which was made in Eng
land in 1000.
While no public announcement has
been made concerning Senator Hanna S
gift it is understood to have been a
check for q generous sum. Mrs. Han
mas gift was a string of rare pearls.
The groom is a son of Robert S. Nc
Cormick, ambassador to Russia, and
a grandson of the late Joseph Medill,
for many years owner and editor of
the Chicago Tribune.
The marriage certificate which the
bride bore away from st. Pauls Epis-
copal Church contained the signatures
as witnesses of the President of the
United States, and of several United
States senators and members of the
diplomatic corps at Washington.
Joseph Medill Mccormick. although a
young man and just beginning for him
self has a fine heritage. He is the
grandson of the late Joseph Medill
editor of the Chicago Tribune, and his
father is ambassador to Russia. Since
his graduation from Yale in 1890, Mr..
Mccormick has been on the staff of the
Chicago Tribune.
The bride of to-day is a girl of dis
tinction and poise, an American girl
of the finest type. She is tall and
slender, with expressive features and
a fine carriage. She cares more FOR
outdoor sports than for the pleasures
of society. and has long been a devot-
ed horsewoman, fearless and a f1ne
rider.
Miss Hanna and Mr.. Mccormick first
met about three years ago, when both
were visiting at Townsville, Ca,
where Senator Hanna maintains an ele-
CANT winter home. 1t was a case OF
love at first sight. at least on Mr.. Me-
Cormick's part, and he pleaded his
cause with such devotion that the an
nouncement of their engagement was
not long in forthcoming.
