THE FIREMEIN'S TOURNAMENT.
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.

Exporting Rich Costumes.
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

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.

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

looking at this subject which always
appeared to me of having some plaus

A. nissMing Disease.
Ho disease which does not eonflne a man to his
bed so completely unfits him for business as dys
pepsia. 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.
