PRAYER AND PLEASURE
MARKED THE DAY.
savannnhians FittinEIy Celebrated
the Advent of 1903.


the Advent of 1908.
Savannah turned out yesterday 10
enjoy New Years. Few there were
who did not seek diversion in such
pastimes as suited their fancy. Every
one seemed happy and on pleasure bent,
and glad greetings and well wishing
was the order OF the hour. A sort of
indescribable and intangible holiday
feeling pervaded everybody and every
thing. filing the day with good Will,
and making every one happier with his
lot in life.
The most popular mecca for the
merry was the football grid
iron. where in the afternoon, sea Of
ribbon-dec ked humanity. some in autos
and traps. others on the cars. and
many afoot. found their way TO the
side-liues. and Cheered and yelled with
out constraint in full enjoyment of
the hour
Those who. like the great English
poet. think the plays the thing, and
cared for an afternoon before the
lights. rather than in attendance on
the great American game, wended their
way to the playhouse. The theater
was packed. and before the hour APP
pointed for the curtain to be rulg up,
not even standing room was available,
and hundreds were turned from the
doors.
Many with dogs and gun sought rec
reation in the woods. while some with
rod and reef aEgled in neighboring
waters. Still others thought to spend
the day at the rifle range, where
especial entertainment had been pro-
vided for those who cared for fun and
practice At night a goOdly portion
of the population found pleasure in
the dance. Services were held in many
of the churches, and a great many
paid their devotions on the first day of
the glad New Year.
There was a noticeable absence of
fireworks and bonfires. While there
was some demonstration of this char
acter, it was not near so pronounced
as in previous years. The Park Ex-
tension. which has 50 often been the
scene of monster pyrotechnical demon
strations, was wrapped in darkness
last night, and but for a lone blaze.
where a small boy and girl fired a
few six-shooters, the extension was as
black as Stygian shades.
The custom of calling, too, which
was within the memory of many of
the younger generation, in vogue here
for many years, has fallen into a
state of innocuous -desuetude, to use
the words of a previous President of
The United States, whose pedantic
verbosity was only exceeded by his
gigantic obesity. Then it was that the
fashionable sort. in broughams and
smart rigs dropped in for a few min
utes. left their cards, took a sip of
wine and a bit of cake, and continued
on the round of calls.
The whole afternoon and evening
was devoted to these calls, and New
Years calls were looked forward to
with great deal of pleasure. But the
custom at length fell into disrepute,
and now no longer obtains. The day
is still so observed in many of the
large cities of the North and many
there are who would welcome the re-
turn of the custom, here.

Year BefOre-MnyOr Myers is Graf
ihed at the splendid showing
Made.
Pleased with the work that they ac-
complished during 1902 the heads OF
the various city departments took
holiday yesterday. although some OF
them were at their offices. 1t was a
successful year from every point OF
view and the officers had every reason
TO feel proud Of the showing they made
individually and collectively.
The police made during the past year
just 800 more arrests than they did in
1901 The total number of arrests
made was 5.6l3. The Gamewell sys-
TEN was used by the men oftener than
the year before. but beyond the total
number of arrests made the report viii
be Of no special interest. The In
crease in the number of arrests made
by the police resulted in an increase
in the amount Of fines collected by
Clerk Bailey in Police Court
There was an increase in revenue
from this source of $94S.95, over 1901.
Clerk Bailey showed Recorder Myrick
yesterday morning where $6,242.95 had
been collected in fines against 1924
for 1901 These figures wifi be used
by the Recorder in compiling his an
uual report. The Police Court judge
will show in his report that he was
a busy officer during the past year and
that he earned his salary. An increase
in arrests meant an increase in the
number of cases that he was called
upon to decide and an increase in the
time spent in the court room.
Memoranda of the cash balance N
the city treasury al the close of the
year was furnished Mayor Myers and
Alderman Dixon, chairman of the FL
nance Committee, yesterday morning
by Mai Hardee. The city closed the
year with a surplus of just 1923, 146.S1
Chairman Dixon had announced that

less than $4,000 left over. There was
only $5,317.46 in the treasury when the
previous years closed.
The Chairman of the Finance Com
mittee of Council estimates that there
will be $1S0,000 collected by the city
treasurer during the present month
The first month of the new year is al
ways good one with Mai Hardee.
Taxes for the fourth quarter of 1902
must be paid before the close of the
month, water rent for six months is
payable in advance and all specific
taxes are required to be paid I'm Janu-
airy. The city is better off financially
than it has been in some time.

NEW YEARS WITH
THE SPORTSMEN.
Hunters Had IA Day of 1T with Dog
and Gun.

Hunters Had IA Day of 1T with Dog
and Gun.
New Years was a good day with the
sportsmen who took their dogs and
guns and took to the woods. Though
the game season opened Aug. Is. for
doves, Sept. l, for deer, and Nov. for
partridges, and a great deal of hunt
ing has been done since then. there
seems to he some game left, and those
who still find time to go out are re-
warded. This was the case yesterday.
Many went out. though there were n
number of other forms of sport to be
had, in horse racing, football and gen.
eral athletics. and all returned with
good bags.
This was true of cartridges. doves,
squirrels and ducks. but no deer were
shot as the deer open season closed
Dec. 81. From now on until Sept. l.
next, deer will be unmolested and CIV
en- a chance to replenish their thinned
ranks. A good many have been shot
during the season. i'll the interior and
on the sea islands, but most of them
were shot on the islands. There are
several hunting clubs which lease
hunting reserves on the sea islands,

going down weekly during the season
and returning with several deer, never
without a few. and though they never
kill more than they have need for, the
many hunts have thinned the supply
some. The long prohibitive season.
however, furnishes the deer family am
pie time to replenish and repopulate the
preserves. Careful investigation shows
that the number increases slightly each
year.
During the 1901 session of the Legis-
lature, an effort was made to exempt
private game reserves from the ,)No-
hibitive law relative to deer. This was
pushed, and crea BED a great deal of
talk and comment on the merits of the
exemption clause, but after a fight it
was killed. Had the exemption been
made almost every island along the
coast would be exempted and deer
could be shot there any time, as we'll
as on any private land in the state.
Ducks are in. large numbers. There
are not as many as there would have
been had the cold snap been earlier.
but they will come down in large num-
bers as the weather North gets colder.
Many were killed yesterday on the
marsh rivers and in the up-river rice
fields. There are no protective laws
for ducks, as they are supposed to be
migratory, but that is a mistake, in
regard to this coast country, as one
of the best ducks foure hereabouts,
the summer duck, is native, staying
here the year around and breeding in
the SWamps and low ground in the
spring. This duck is attracting some
attention now among sportsmen be-
cause of its lack of protection. and a
movement has been on foot for some
months to get it some protection in the
laws of the state. The partridge and
dove season closes March Is.
