Saddle Class.
In the best saddle horse class, Lady In
Black, the pretty little black mare owned
by George G. Phillips and Eugene Flies,
won the first prize. The little animal was
ridden by j. Adam Phillips, son of George
Phillips. He appeared in every class, and
rode or drove the winning horse In more
events than any one else present HIS
seat In the saddle was more graceful ana
easier than that of any of the other rid
ers. and he has the unusual ability OF
showing all a horses best gaits and ac-
lions of to advantage. He several times
was applauded for his riding.
The polo ponies attracted much atten-
tion. Their class and the manner in
which polo Is played was new to nearly
every one present and added much to the
interest. The ponies are required to re-
spond readily to the touch of the bride
and to change positions rapidly.
Tho Jumpers.
Excitement reigned highest when the
jumpers were brought in. There We're

the hurdles amidst the gasps of the

each time to take the hurdle the women
would catch their breath, and as the ami

would be sigh of relief. There Is more
risk in this than any of the events, but
happily last night 1t passed without seri-

Effect of Horse Show.
One of the best effects Of the horse show
is the Improvement in the class and breed
of the local horses, and this has become
evident Last night where the local and
foreign horses were in the same classes
the former showed we'll beside the latter.
In the past six months there has been a
wonderful improvement In the horses in
Birmingham. and 1t seems that the i'm
provement is to continue.
The local men have bought horses from
the foreign exhibitors. George G. Phillips
bought Marie, a bay mare, from A. e.
Ashbrook last night, and 1t Is stated he
paid fancy price for her. She was en-
tered in the saddle horse class, and is
considered one of the best horses In the
Ashbrook string.
Eugene Flies bought Peaceful Henry, a
polo pony, from Mr.. Ashbrook, and paid
nice sum for him. The roam gelding is
well trained and an excellent pony.
One of the features of the horse show
last night was the excellent work done

J. R. Cone & Son, for the past sew
eral years doing grocery business
in Palatka, on Tuesday sold out their
stock and good will to Mrs. N. E.
Mead of Jacksonville, and who is
now in charge of the business. Mrs.
Mead will retain Mr.. l. E. Cone in
her employ and all old customers of
the firm will detect little of change
in the management.
Messrs. Cone & Son have been in
the business three years and while
the business has grown they have
not been able to make money owing
to the generous manner they had in
putting accounts on the ice. They
have trusted too much.
Mr.. Cone says that the money
received from the sale of the bust
ness will be applied in payment of
firm debt, but that there is not
enough to liquidate them all. He
says he has, however, book accounts,
which, when collected, will enable
him to pay 100 cents on the dollar.
He retires from the business abso-
Iutely broke, and all because he put
more on his books than he did in his
cash drawer.

Now a Corporation.

Advices from Tallahassee state that
the well-known clothing house of
Fearnside q Company of this city
has been incorporated under the
name of 1.-THE Fearnside Clothing
Company"
The incorporation simply means
that this growing house has decided
to forge ahead still faster. Mr..
Fearnside will control about 80 per
cent of the stock and Mr.. J. A. Shell
ley, long connected with the firm as
salesman, will hold the balance.
Fearnside & Company started in
business in Palatka some five years
ago, and from small beginnings have
grown to be one of the leading cloth
ing and furnishing establishments in
the state. Indeed, it has been repeat
eddy stated by travelling statesmen
that this house carries line of fine
goods that cannot usually be found
in any other town in Florida includ-
ing the metropolis.
Mr.. Frank J. Fearnside, who will
be at the head of the new concern, as
he was of the old, is one of the clear
est headed business men in Florida,
a gentleman who is known in all
parts of the state.

NAV Bore for PETROLEUM.

]. e. Vanatta, president of the
Etoniah Canal d Drainage Compa-
ny, who was in the city yesterday
stated that there had been seen on
the lands of his company certain sur
face indications of petroleum, and
that he was going to investigate the
matter and might possibly organize
a company for the purpose of drill
ing a well.
Mr.. Vanatta says that i'm his opin-
ion companies that have heretofore
drilled for oil in Florida have failed
to find it because they did not go
deep enough, and that it would be
useless to expect to find a flow of oil
at depth less than $500 feet. He
says the deep earth formations in
Florida are similar to those found in
the Texas oil fields,

Will Refund Excess Charges.

The G. S. q F. Ry. Company which
was summoned to appear before the
state railroad commission on the 18th
inst, to show cause why it should
not be fined for violation of chapter
400 of the laws of Florida and rule I
of the general RULE" adopted by the
r. r. commissioners February 18th,
1901, appeared by Hon. John l. Hall
and j. M. Cutler.
Mr.. Hall stated that the order for
the change in the rates was made
through a misunderstanding of the
rules of the commission and was not
intentional, and that the G. S. & F.
Ry. Co., discontinued the new rate
as soon as it was brought to its atten-
tion, and that the G. s. d F. Ry.
Company has agreed to refund to all
persons the excess of freight charges
to them from November LIST to De-
cember 18th, 1902, the time of the ur-
authorized rate of the railway COM
pany. In view of this statement the
state rail road commission decided to
postpone the further consideration of
the matter, pending the settlement
of all claims for Overcharges on
freight by the G. S. & F. R'y Co. be-
tween the dates mentioned. In &C
cordance with the above statement,
the state railroad commission by its
Hon. Jefferson Il. Browne,
has issued the following notice:

tween November LIST and December |

senting their claim for overcharge to
