Victory Claimed by the Hornet?, but the. JadgpK Call lor an "Agreement-- Three tiood Keel Knce Vexterdtiy. . The firemen yesterday carried out the programme o reel races which they had prepared for May 20th, but which was postponed by reason of rain. ' The streets were muddy yes terday, but. with the aid of scrapers, a very good track was secured from Independence Square to the plug at the corner of Tryon and Fifth streets, distance one hundred and fifty yards At 4 o'clock the engines, trucks and reels were brought out and arrayed on the Square, the firemen being pres, ent in full numbers and , fully uni formed. The mayor, board of alder men and fire committee made an of-, ficial inspection of the companies and apparatus, and were highly pleased with the general good condition of everything pertaining to the depart ment. They tendered their congratu lations to Chief Magill, his assistants, and to the firemen. After the inspec tion, the races were called by Capt. Harrison Watts and Mr. George E Wilson, starters, from the block on Independence Square. At the plug. Mr, T. R. Robertson flagged for -plug time, and Capt,. F. A McNinch for water. Messrs. Bennett Barnes, Har vey Deal and M. C. Quinn recorded the time. The Hornet company was first in line, and, starting off at the fall of the ball, made a splendid run. Timo to the plug 22 seconds; plug to water, 5 seconds. . The Pioneor company came next, and made an equally fine run, tieing the Hornets on the plug run. , Time to plug, 22 seconds; plug to water, 141 seconds. The Independents were the third in line, and came within one second of tieing the other two companies. Time to plug, 23 seconds; plug to water, 15 seconds. It was evident to all that a mis take had been made in the water time of the Hornets, and the contest was declared a draw, the I Pioneers re fusing to run again. The judges ad mit that a mistake was made in re cording the 5i seconds, and now have the matter under advisement. The Hornets claimed the victory, and de cided to make another run after the withdrawal of the Pioneers. It was a run against the record, and the time to the plug was lowered by one second, the run being made in 21 sec onds. The team making this fine record was composed of W. J. Byer ly, captain and plugman; O. F. As bury, wrenchman; J. J. Manning, uncoupler; C. M. Davidson, nozzle man; E. F. Cresswell, slack puller; John Byerly, J. G. Witherspoon, W. B. Correll, J. A. Alexander, W. R. Wearn, E. O. Gilliam, J. Killain, C. Geiger, D. S. Whitt, Ben. Duncan, W. M. Lyles and I. H. Withers. After the reel races a foot race was run, participated in by teams from each of the three companies. The distance run was 100 yards. Score of best three : Jim Adams, 12$ seconds ; Cbas. Geiger 13, and Joe Garabaldi 13i. Adams first prize, $5; Geiger second prize, $2.50. The prizes lor the reel races have not been awarded, as explained by the following action of the judges: At a meeting of the judges appoint ed by the Fire Department of Char lotte, called to consider the difficulty arising between the different com panies engaged in the contest of to day, it was resolved, 1. That before any final action should be taken in the matter the secretary is herebv instructed to as certain iroaa the chief of the Fire De partment, and the president of the various companies participating in the contest, whether or not the said companies would abide the action of the judges in the premises, ana in the event of an agreement so to do, that the presidents of the espective companies put such agreement in writing. . 2. That upon the receitp ot com munication from such officers, that the secretary call a meeting of the judges to-take final action in the matter. Geo. E. Wilson, chairman ot meet- ing;U. A.

We were yesterday invited by Mr. Young, of Wittkowsky & Baruch's, to look into their mail order depart ment, and were truly surprised at the eleeance and finish of several costumes that were being sent away to different States. One was a rose shrimp silk with Washington train, fronted with rich oriental lace, square corsage, also trimmed with bullions of tulle and gathered ruffles of Ran- dolphian lace. This costume was accompanied Dy nve otners equauv beautiful in design, finish and workmanship, and were being sent to Wades bo ro, JN. U. Among them we Darticularlv admired a wmte camel's hair cloth, the skirt of which was finished with relief panels ot rich garnet velvet, Mary Stuart vest of garnet velvet, trimmed a la "Cari- bineer" with silver braid, it was a garment worthy of the very highest commendation. Next we saw some ezauisite white dresses mane irom F.cvntian and oriental nouncings. witn fersian lawn neiwcoas auu train, elaborately finished with fine laces, and vest of Smyrna crepe. With these goons was- an eiaoorai nostume of China crepe, brocaded rith a carnet flower. The elegance nf thia costume surDasses our descrip- r.iv noweri! it was marsed "HOB Springs, Arg." Another costume, with bonnet and hat to match, was going to Kansas, It is certainly very credit able to think that Charlotte i3 becom ing a dress-making centre tor some of cne best neooie in toe regions oi. the far West.

Uollector C Dowd takes charge of his office ' in Statesville to morrow morning, relieving Mr. Cooper and the Republican party of the revenue business for this district. Collector Dowd will start in with two citizens of Charlotte assisting him. Mr. R. M. Miller, Jr., and Mr. P C. Wilson. Mr. Lil Smith, it is understood, still declines to serve as chief clerk, pre f erring to live in Charlotte and help the railroad along with its business, Mr. Miller is the disbursing clerk of the collector's office. Mr. Wilson re ceived his appointment yesterday morning and takes a clerkship in col lector Dowd's office He accepts the appointment. Personal. , In commenting upon the delegates in attendance upon the Episcopal convention in Asheville the Citizen takes occasion to say some pleasant things about some Charlotte people We copy: ''Another old and promi inent member of the Convention is Mr. John Wilkes of Charlotte. His presence as a delegate to suces sive sessions of the Convention dates from long before the war. He is not a professional man either, but engag ed, on a very extensive scale, in the manufacture of machinery. He is though not a very impressive talker, a very influential one, well inform ed on church matters, with excellent ly sound judgment, and clear strong ly expressed. "Mr. H. C. Jones, of Charlotte, is another member of the present Con vention well known throughout North Carolina for eminent profes sional attainment; and high personal character. He is a hard worker, a very useful member of the body, and with his fine gift of oratory, a very influential speaker." Salifcbnry'8 30th ot May. Yesterday was Federal decoration day in Salisbury,' and that fact ac counts for the scarcity of colored people in this city during the day. Almost all who Could muster good clothes and a dollar went along, and all had a good time. They had a special train from Charlotte, and it went out packed, returning about 9 o'clock last night. The Neptune fire men went in uniform and attracted much glory. Tuey report that there were eit;ht thousand colored people in Salisbury, and no fights. Bishop Moore, colored, delivered the memo rial address, andspeeches were made by others, after which the graves of the Federal dead, in the National cemetery, were decorated. The Charlotte darkies all behaved them selves well, and say that .they were treated kindly in Salisbury. The streets of that town were fairly lined with colored people and the lowest estimate on the size of the crowd was fully 6.000. It is that way every year in Salisbury, and the people of that town mourn because Federal decoration dav does not come around onener. IS THE SO I II THE 31ST1 "R. li. on May 20tb, 1TT5, &c. Statesville, May 29, 1885. To the EdlUr of Thk Observes. Your Washington correspondent, 'R. D. G.".in his communication of the 24th inst., speaks of the rule I gave you for calculating the week's day of any date, as if it were good only for dates under, the Qregorian calendar. If he will look a little closer he will see that it applies equally to all dates under the legal and official calendar used by English speaking nations, which has been the faroomriftn" sin OA 1751. and the Julian" before 1751; that is the 'old style" was authoritative up to that year (as it stiu remains in xtussia; ana the "new style" since then. My rule finds the week's day of any date, (no matter how far back), as it was dated at the time, and as it appears in books and records of the time, made by official and regular authority. Further, "R. 1). If." seems to mti mate that because by the 'Julian" calendar May 31, 1775, would have been Sunday, this is some ground for doubting the opinion of those who say the Slst was not the real date of tne MecKienDurg ueuiarttbiuu But though I am inclined to believe in the old fashion May 20th Declara tion myself, 1 beg to suggest to it-. D. GK" that there is another way of looking at this subject which always appeared to me of having some plaus ibility in it, and It is this : Accord ing to the "Julian" calendar, May 20th, 1775, was weonesoay,- ana oy the "Gregorian" calendar that very; same day was May 31st, the differs ence then being 11 days between the old. and new stvle. JNOW tne ijnar : lestoh newsDaDer." and other such , . : I -1 i 1 4- : 4.. iion autnoribies womu. u udj-wih h the then leeral and official calendar. which was the "Gregorian;" but it is quite possible that the Presbyterians of MecKlenourg, wno nateu tne .rope and all his doings, and whose co re ligionists inl751vieorously denounced the adoption by parliament oi rope Gregory's calendar, may have ad hered, with their usual perserverance to the old style ?Juljan calendar in the bac( wooas ot rouua ior as long as twenty years after Parliament in London adopted - the other, and rriav nave Dersisteu in caiunz a cer tain day "May 20tb,H when people more supple and nearer headquarters were correctlv calling; the same day "Mav S1ar. - When wa think what confusion the chance of calendar pro duced in the family records of births, marriages. &c. in the old Presbyteri an bibles, we may partly cuess how reluctantly those pioneers of the bor der would give in to the new style of datin events. Even (Jeorge Wah ingtou probably felt a pang in scratch ing out February 11th, which for 19 years was his birthday, and ' writing it anew jj eoruary zana. - I sometimes wonder whether - there s not in this a solution in the contro versy about which date, May 20th or May sist, is tne true aate ot mock- lenburg's action that is, whether one and the same actual day was not dated "May 20th" by the -Mecklen burgers, and ';May 31st" Dy tne met ropolitan newspapers ana otners, And if it be indeed true is only coin rect when reached by the old Julian atvle. I am still in favor of celebrat ing the 20th forever, because the per sistencv with Whioh those iron willed Scotch Irishmen stuck to it. and wrote it down that way, in spite of the Pone and the Parliament. was in itself a characteristic Declaration of Independence ; deserving perpetual commemoration on ; the date they stubbornly called it, ; Yours. v ' s. -' Irhdell.

When the stomacn is foul, the brain is always muddy and confused, and as the. cares and anxieties f life are a sufficient burden for the organs of thought to bear, without being tormented by the miseries born of indigestion, it Is highly desirable for the brain's sake, as well as for the sake of every other portion of the system, that the disordered stomach should be restored with the utmost dispatch to a healthy, vigorous condition. This object can always be accomplished by a course of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, the purest and best or vegetable specifies which evacuates the morbid humors through the bowels, rouses and -tones ihe torpid stomaeu and regulates the liver, Imparts firmness to the net ves, and clears the sensorlum of Its mental cobwebs. Persons subject to attacks of Indigestion, bilious headache, Irregularity of the bowels, sickness of the stomach, or "tae blues," should take the Bitters once or twice a day throut fl out the present season. i :.; All or One Mind, f - Dr. B- Wilson Carr of Baltimore, says he has used Bosad tils In cases of scrofula and other dis eases, with uch satisfaction. ; Dr. T.
