Men Fail to Pitch Fouls. .V"'-;:;--;- In one of the closest and hardest fought basket ball games ever played In the city the Trinity college team lust night defeated the local i". M. C. A, Ave by the score of 29 to 2". It was not expected that either team would take the game by an over whelming score but It was hoped by supporters of the home team that the small margin might be In favor of the ! nsoelation boys. The latter put up a pood grade of ball but they were re- filly outplayed, and the decision went where It properly belonged. There was really no criticism of the tfnm work on either side and there was a continued development In tTi. 1 bylng of the locals In the last half but their lost fortunes could not i e recouped, The one weak point of the association team seemed to be that no member of the team can pitch foul sioals with any degree of certainty. With only a fair pitching average lust niprht the game could have been won by the locals. This Is the first defeat of the ye:.r for the association boys and for -;h".t reason the contest tonight, which vill lie called at S:tJ0 o'clock Is expected to be an exciting affair for the Blip-, porters of both teams. The same off' eials that took part last night will be on the program for tonight's contest. These are: S. A. Lynch, referee, Pr. J. T. Sevier, score keeper; Harry Hartsell, time keeper, The line-up of the two-teams last night, together with the scores mailt Ijv each player, was as follows: Trinity Siler, rf,. 15; White, lf, 10; Cherry, c; Brinn, rg, 2; Thorne, lg, 2.

E APPLES SELL IT 53.75 PER BUSHEL Retailing Here at Five Cents Each Mr. Webb Has Sold His Entire Crop. Recently The Gazette-News made mention of a statement made by the editor of a farm paper in Maine to the effect that too many, apple trees are being planted and that the bump er crop of this year has depressed the price. The Uazette-News held that this did not apply to western North Carolina at any rate, and that good apples would always bring 'good prices. The following serves to sup port this contention: 0. A. Webb, one of the most suc ooSKful fruit growers of the state, who lias-ti nice young apple orchard on up per lleaverdam, sold his ivhole xrop of apples this year to McCoWnell brothers, commission merchants,. who placed them In cold storage, A day or so ago McConnell brothers sold .to a local merchant a few bushels of the apples, Stark's DellciouH, for $2.50 per bushel. One would think that little margin of profit was left for the mer chant, but Immediately he sold two bushels to a Florida man for $3.75 per bushel, and is retailing the others at five cents each. These apples were packed In light pln boxes, each wrap ped in tissue paper, and the box was lined with corrugated paper.

One of the troubles of amateur shows os that they never start on time: but contrary to the rl the High school minstrels have gained a reputation of raising the curtain at the hour advertised. This year the hour set Is 8:30 o'clock, and the mnn agement promises that the curtain will go up promptly at that hour: ana then, theer are no tiresome waits; the whole, show passes off with prtney of vim and ginger which keeps the nudl ence at fever heat all the time. Tick ets are r"'ng fast, and as they are not reserved those who desire to get schIs had better do so long before the how start. The performance Is to be given two mihts, and that Is very accommodating, as those who cannot attend one night may go the next There are something like 30 members In tho cast this year.

EDITOR OF THE GAZETTK-NEWS: Tn your editorial of 'December 14, under the heading, Trhe Coming of Krjan". you my that Mr. Bryan has never really been in Asneviuc, al though he once addressed a large crowd nt the depot. As you are sl'"-ht- in error on this point, I though' possibly It might be ol some Interest to give' you a short account of his vLxit lcre, showing that he "has really been n ARhcville." Mr, Hryan was on hi. campaign for president the first time he ran. The committee on reception and details of all arrangements was composed of Messrs. S. F. Chapman, II. P. Walker and myself.. I . wop honored with the chairmanship. ' Our mmlttee arranged with the South ern railroad for a upeclal coach, to be carried by their regular train as f.ir as Hot Pprngs, where it was at inchcd to Mr. Bryan's train coming to Asheville. , In this couch we carried a delegation of leading citizens from all parts of the stale of about sixty to m.-et Mr. Rryan. On the way to Ashe ville the entire delegation were in troduced to Mr. Iiryan. Our commit tee on reception enquired of Mr. ISry nn lf there was anything he needed while in Asheville. He said that he wanted some shirts and collars. .We wired Col. Jack Campbell to bring the shirts nnd collars to the Battery Park hotel which he did and presented tliem to Mr. Hryan With his compli ments; size 17 1-2 (the snlrts and col lars, I mean.) Our line of march on 'living -.the depot, wa up uepoi street to Patton avenue to Battery' Park hotel, where we had a 20 minu tes luncheon, and from the hotel we went by way of Pack Square, South Main. Southside avenue, to the place of speaking at the curoe near the de- l ot, where he delivered his addrcra el about 60 minutes to a crowd thnt was estimated to be 38.000:- Tho hillside where the people mit formed n kind of amphitheater; the year previous It. had been cultivated In com, nnd, the rows made very good seats for the oeoule. In those days the rabbit foot was considered great luck, and I shall nev. r forget an Incident at the hotel. Mr. Hrvan was in Mai. McKlsslsk's room changing hi linen, donning his 17' shirt and collar. When someone pre sented him a rabbit's foot, ha exclaim -id with a profusion of thanks and laughter, "let mo show you some i.bing." Mr. Bryan opened his suit case, and there were more rabbits' feet In one lot than I had ever seer, or ever expect to lies again.' Many of them were handaomely mounted, with various kinds of denlgna, but the greater pait. of them were simply plain old rabbit fet Just as Ihcy were supposed to have come from the jcraveyard. Mr. Bryan's time at Asheville was limited and our program had to e carried out to the minute. Our pro gram called for a ten minutes rccep ut the hotel, and 20 minutes for lunch ton. I,well remember whn our committee was going over the details with him, and we came to where he Was allowed SO minutes for speaking. h requested that we leave tho recep tion out and let him speak 40 minutes which we did. snd he taking ten more, mailing the to. Hefire closing we rnnxt note one otbei rather singular coincidences. Mr. Bryan was Introduced, by Hon. Jocke Craig, then a Bryan elector-at-large, und with his coming this time, Mr. Craig will introduce him again, being the governor-elect of this grent ild commonwealth. JOHN T.
