Again the home boys haye been hit
in the same old place, and another
defeat is added to the long list of dis
asters. When the game opened yes
terday and the home team scored four
runs it looked as if there was a picnic
ahead of them, but as it progressed
it became more evident every minute
that our boys, had encountered a
snag and It would take all the strength
they had to pull them through suc
cessfully. Bacon got down to his
work in fine style and twelve men
went out on strikes before the decep
tive pitcher of the Seasides. Gibson
ably seconded his efforts and did all
he could behind the bat, but it wan
not destined for two men to win the
game, and when the ninth inning
closed the monotonous cry of "Sea
sides beaten again" was heard all
over the field.
Rosenthal '.did some good work
at short, and Creech, though playing
in a new place to him, and one of the
most difficult places on the diamond,
held his position well.
Fleming pitched wildly at first, but
controlled his ball well during the
latter part of the game and was hit
but liltle.
Overton played, as he always does.
a fine game, and the Henderson nine,
who are without doubt the finest as
sociation in the State, ably assisted
their battery and won the game hon
estly and fairly.
It was a good game and the same
nines will play again this afternoon,
when the gates will be thrown open
to the public, free of all charges, and
we hope there will be a large audience
to cheer our boys on to victory-ts it is
about time they were winning a game
and if our citizens turn out to see
them they will win for they could
not afford to lose when everybody is
watching them.

Sheriff in default of a justified bond
for his appearance at the present

Palmer, as he now calls himself.

Mr. Albert Gore leaves for Chicago
to-night, where he goes to engage in
business. Anew commission house
is to be established there under the
firm name of Thurber & Gore, the
partners being Messrs. W. I. Gore,
Sun & Co., and B. G. Empie of this
city, and Mr. George S. Thurber, of
Chicago. Backed by ample capital,
energy and capacity, the new firm
will commend itself to the hearty
support of the people of this section.
The Star feels a peculiar interest
in the success of Thurber & Gore, as
the partners, one and all, are among
its warmest friends. And sincerely
as we regret to see Albert and Brooke
leave us, we must admit that, viewed
from a business standpoint, they are
taking a step that will bring them
fortune, if not fame.
It is not yet definitely determined
when Mr. Empie will leave us; but he
will probably spend the month of
August In Chicago, return to Wil
mington, where he will remain seve
ral months, and then go. to the city of
short ribs and cereals to locate per

of W.I. Gore, Son & Co. Awill con

Xke Weather Tair4aT ana To-Day.
The cooler weather predicted by
the Star for this city yesterday after
noon came to hand in due time. The
temperature approached its usual
high altitude during the early part of
the day, but some time after noon the
effects of the slight high pressure be
came noticeable, and the mercury
dropped accordingly. The high ba
rometer, however, is not very decided.
and its effects will soon pass
away and the temperature take
another rise; but not, according to
present indications, anywhere near
the point reached during the past
few days.
The maximum throughout the State
yesterday varied greatly. Charlotte
reported 102, the highest for the day;
Raleigh and Lumberton regis ted 100.
Heavy rains occurred at Wadesboro,
and the temperature only reached 80.
Florence, S. C, still maintains its
record for the past few days, at 104.
In this city, the highest recorded,
as reported by the Signal Service, was
90 degrees.

The lawn party given by the ladies

no little expense to get up this enter
tainment. Probably the threatening
weather kept away many who other
wise would have been there. The
harpers furnished the music for the
occasion, and no doubt it was much
enjoyed.
There was a quantity of ice cream
and cake left over, which the ladies
will be glad to dispose of to-day at
the City Hall at a most reasonable
price.
