The manager, the lightning manipulator and dispenser of electric fluid, otherwise weather . prophet Haney, will have his weight on the field, and guarantees good order and plenty of refreshments. Come one; come all, and see us do the grand. w Smith vllle. - " We learn that there are more visitors at Smith ville . this season than ever before. The hotel has a large number of guests and Miss Stuart and the boarding house keepers are haying a splendid run of cus tom. The advantages of Bmithville as a first- class seaside resort are becoming more and more understood and appreciated. The Charlotte Observer says .a.-party, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Z. : ;C. "Burroughs, Miss Carrie Burroughs,, Capt. T. L. Seigle, Mrs! T. L. Seigle, Thad.: Seigle and Rev. T. S. Brown, have left for Smithville, where they expect to remain for some time. The Observer adds: "There is now quite a party of Charlotte people at this favorite resort, and more will be there before the season is over. Bmithville has been growing in pop ularity of late years among our summering people, and its popularity is well deserved, for a pleasanter seaside resort is hard to find." . Personal. The Charleston Nem and Courier says: , "Mr. Harry Hansen, stevedore, of Wil mington, N C, is on a visit to this city.

' , -v.; ' i ' ' - The game yesterday was not so pleasant as many that have been played on ' the Sea side grounds. There was too much talk ing, too much wrangling, too much ; dis puting. There seemed to be an utter lack f control on the field by the visiting team. and at times three or four ,were discussing questions .with the nmpire or lining the captain's lines running baserunners. This thing cannot be continued. If- suoh whole sale. "kicking' must be indulged in at all games, the sooner the grounds are closed to visitors' the better for all concerned; We think jesterday "a game, taken all in all. the worst , managed; and the . most disorderly -that has occurred this season, t- : The visitors outplay ed the home te&ni. Of , that there can be no, doubt. , They made fewer errors and more base hits, and were fairly entitled to the victory r but if "kick" when they are ahead, like they did yesterday, what , Would they ; do if they were behind? : :-' ' ; - ' Housman pitched f effectively, and won the good will of all by his calm, gentleman ly bearing and good temper. Fitz caught excellently, and was at all times full of life "and spirit. Separks ' and Jordan guarded their positions' well, and Kennedy played a good second. The outfielders had very little to do, as few balls were knocked out of the diamond. The Seasides were unfortunate all the way through. Koockogey hnrt his hand and could not catch after the 'first inning. Monroe was substituted, and caught one inning. He went to the bat and got to his first,, but in running to second struck the bag and dislocated his ankle. He had to be taken to the hotel in a carriage and call in the aid of a sur geon to attend his case. Kurtz then went, behind the bat and caught a very good game, though he would .blink and dodge when the bat went before bis face. No test can be made by yesterday's game of Mr. Force's ability to pitch. Every catcher that faced him was a new man to him, and he knewjnothing of their ability to hold him, and he was told when Kurtz went in not to pitch his speedy ball. He pitched a good game nevertheless, and there is a good deal in him that be did not and could not show yesterday. Moore's field work was the feature of the game, and his running catch of a high fly and double play at first were much admired and applauded. ' "" ' ' ! ' There will be another game today -be tween these two nines commencing at half past four, to enable the visitors to get away on the Carolina Central train. The game yesterday was played under protest, the Seasides claiming that Kennedy could not be played legitimately under the rules of the Association. BAXHIGH. K. B.H. F.O. A. E.
