WILMINGTON. N. C THURSDAY. AUGUST The rains with which" we hive been visited during the last week, have been quite general throughout Eastern North Carolina. It rained all day yesterday along 'the line ot the Wilmington & VVeldon Railroad. Base Ball. The Mechanics Base Ball Club, of Columbia, S. C, arrived hero on this morning's train to indulge in a friendly trial for supremacy with the' Seaside Park Club, of this city. Alter break fast they, as the guests of the Seasides, were conveyed to Wrightsville , where the contest will take place on the grounds ot the latter club. The game will be called at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Ye hope that the visiting nine may have a pleasant time hile here, and that the better nine may win the game. For the Sound. A large throng'of people made a visit to the Sound to-day, many of whom were drawn thither by a desire to witness the match game of base ball which came off at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and others to witness the bicycle race which followed immediately after the game of ball. The crowd was quite largely composed .of the young gentle men of the city, nearly all ot whom aire interested in athletic sports. The Governor's Movements. Notwithstanding . the unfavorable weather the Governor went to Wrights ville yesterday, accompan;ed by his private Secretary, Capt. G. L. Dudley, and quite a number of our prominent citizens, whose guests the distinguished visitors were. The party proceeded to the Seaside Park Hotel where they partook of a sumptuous dinner which had been prepared for them under tho direction of Messrs. Scoyille & Co., of that popular seaside resort, After dinner the weather became more favor able, and the rain ceased falling, when the party indulgedin the luxury of a sail on the Sound, in which the Govern or demonstrated his skill and ability in handling a yacht, as well as he had heretofore done in managing the chip of State. After a pleasant sail, in which all were'' delighted, the party landed and proceeded to the Piney Grove Hotel, where mine host, Capt. E. W. Manning, had prepared an ele gant supper, to which the entire party, with appetites sharpened. by their nauti cal cruise, and knowing full well how to appreciate the good things of this world, did ample justice. The entire day was passed most pleasantly and without the slightest accident or an noyance of any kind to mar the hap. piness of the party. After a socially spent evening, the party returned to Wilmington, reaching here at about midnight.- TO-DAY. Tbis forenoon was passed by the Governor mainly at the Mayor's office, where a great many ot our citizen8 called to pay him their respects. At noon he yisited by invitation the Wil mington Steam Fire Engine Company's house, where the company had assem bled, and witnessed the celerity with which the horses could be harnessed to the engine by the drop system, and the latter taken into the street. In this trial the time consumed was just 20 seconds, which was an operation causing the Governor some surprise and much gratification. The entire J party then adjourned to the hall above, where refreshments were in waiting for them, and where for a short time they indulged in pleasant social conver sation, a fewshort speeches and some very appropriate toasts. The company then adjourned to the Cape Fear Club rooms whero pleasant interchanges of thought and sentiment engaged the attention for a considerable time. Since his arrival here Gov. Jarvis has received the open handed cordiality and open-hearted hospitality for which the citizens of Wilmington are noted and'of which they are justly proud. This His Excellency appreciates and he is profound in his expressions of gratification at his reception here. He always had a warm attachment for the people of our city and his visit at this ti me has strengthened the tie that binds him to the Cape Fear section. The affection is jnutual, and'our people de light to do him honor. We were told to-day by a gentleman who formerly resided here and who retains a warm love for our city, that his wife tells him that when he dies he will "want to go to Wilmington," and may be the Gov ernor may leave here with a .similar sentiment. - .
