aad Col Goodyear a citizens com
mittee did the honOrs aided by doz-
en- Brunswick ladies and in way
which brought the unanimous verdict
that the entertainment was the finest
ever had by the visiting editors. In
tormallty was the cardinal rule of the
day, and with this, absolute proh-pi-
ton. of speeches and exploitation of
the pcrt's advantages. 1t was a red
letter event for Brunswick and all in
all an occasion which will bear good
fruit
The selection of the steamer At
lantic was one of the happy moves
of the committee. Harbor Master
Fahm as one Of the entertainment
committee ably seconded by the ef-
forts sCf Capt. Ben White, master OF
the steamer. The steamer made
splendid time, covering the route laid
out bv the committee with all ease,
and so that room was left, yet all
had ample time at each stopping point
Leaving the city at $3.50 o'clock, the
Southern, A. C. L. and Bee Line ter
minals were each in turn visited. The
editors were thus given full view OF
the harbor with the extensive water
front At the south end, Capt. Flick
EFT cf me Ogeechee, received the par
ty G. board Of his ship, giving them
b arty welcome. The piers and
warehouses We're inspected and the
visitors given an opportunity to judge
of the facilities Of the new tefmin-
ais.
Reaching Frederick at u o'clock
the citizens committee divided,
number escorting the visitors to Christ
church and the Wesley oak, where
a pleasant hour was spent. On their
return the fish were s; zzling over the
Goals. the coffee had a rich brown
color, the corn pones. were brown,
and hot. and the clam chowder ready
to serve 1t was here that the ladies
of the citizens committee made the af-
fair a splendid success All We'd with
each other in making the visitors en-
Joy thems elvces. Red snapper, sheep
head, trout and founders cooked to a
turn were served hot to the guests in
such abundance that President Stan
ley was finally called upon by one OF
the North Georgia editors to file an
injunction in the interest of the Ala
bama editors who come on July 27.
Returning by way of Je6yl island
TIC visitors were given half hour for
q view of the club house and the res
licences. Nearly all braved the show
ers and protected by umbrellas, took
in the sights With her bow pointing
scaward the Atlantic soon passed st.
s'mon's pier and thence out the chan
nel to the big dredge. Fortunately
t&ore was only slight swell, and no
ona suffered from the half hour spent
in this way Landing at St Simon's
pier nearly two-thiTds of the visitors
left the steamer to spend the night
cn the island A few returned to the
city and left for their homes last
night in a special car attached to the
Southern train. All were enthusias-
tic in their comments and pronounced
the days, outing an idea4 one.
Fernandina will be the Mecca today
for a large party who will be accom-
panied by their ladies. Several on
e. the return trip tonight will stop at
Cumberland where Sunday will be
spent. Others will return to st. ST.
mons to spend Sunday and Monday
t9 enjoy the surf bathing, and a trip
on the Coney to the snapper banks.
While the committee had prepared
for larger party yesterday, the ar
rangements perfected by Mayor Hop
kins, Col Goodyear and their. aides
worked so smoothly as to arouse en-
thusiasm. The visitors deeply appre-
ciated the thoughtful move of cutting
out speeches and welcomed this inno-
walton in an entertainment. Veterans

President Stanley and others remarked
upon the cordiality shown on every
side since the arrival "f - Da-tY
