The Charlotte Chronicle came out in new dress Sunday and presents a very neat and handsome appearance. - Reports from Washington say that Secretary Foster has "the grip." It is a good thing for a politician to have a grip, but in this case it is the grip that's got Foster. Our Raleigh correspondent says Col. Polk is much more reticent than heretofore on the Third party propo sition. Corpses are not pleasant or cheerful subjects of conversation. St., Louis can put her digits up to her nose, spread em and point to the 15,000 tram robbery on her suburbs as an offset to that little $3,000 train robbery business near Chicago a little while ago. With a race racket, lawless miners, and the convict mix, altairs are somewhat at odds and ends in the Oliver Springs mining region of Tennessee, Our opinion is that Gov.' Buchanan was not especially created for a first-class Governor. - Some of the reports from Brazil represent Rio Grande do Sul as still sulking, refusing to be placated by the resignation of Fonseca, while others present her as serene. The hustling news maker seems to be abroad down in that country, too. A Delaware woman who wants to introduce some - cheerful features in the Chicago Fair has asked for space to exhibit a collec- tion of embalmed bodies, embalmed bv a process of her own, on which she says she has a dead sure thing. The line between sanity and in sanity is sometimes so exceedingly attenuated that you can't always tell the difference between a sane and an insane man. Dr. McFarland, the great insanity expert of Illinois, became crazy the other day and skilled himself. The Pullman Palace Car Company seems to have the pull on the travel ing public. The total earnings for the year up to the first of last Au gust were about $10,000,000, of which its cars earned $7,800,000, the balance coming from rents, manu facturing, investments, royalties on patents, &c. Washington reports say that at the headquarters of Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, one of the candidates for Speaker, things are quiet. Hatch ing is generally done in a quiet way, but that is no proof that the gentle man from Missouri is not running his vote incubator to its full capa city. Mr. Hatch by the way, is no small calibred man. Mr. Charles J. Murphy, of some where out West, is scoring a success in initiating the Europeans into the delights of corn meal as an article of food. He persuaded the Berliners to try it mixed with rye, and they have got to liking it so well that they prefer it to rye straight, and call it "Murphv bread." He is now trying his luck with the Russians. It has taken these people a long time to find out that , corn is good for man in any other than liquid form. '5::v-" '". 1 VOL. XLIX.--NO. 61. In Sumatra every fellow- has to raise his own bride. " He puts the girl he wants to wed on the scale of a balance and piles On presents until he raises her by the weight of the presents. Sometimes he has - to wait long time before he can get truck enough together to do it, but when he does she comes ,down and is "his'n." That's the way it is done in this country sometimes, although the scales do not figure in the af fair." ':H' : . - A political statistician of Ohio who has been looking into the vote cast at the last election says that if the 23,271 votes cast for Seitz, the candidate for Governor, of the Peo ple's Party, 16,000 were of men who had previously voted the Demo cratic ticket, and that they were fooled by the Republican third party fellows, who instead of voting for Seitz voted for McKinley. A young Connecticut lady - who lost her position as a teacher of gymnastics in the State Normal School, went to Chicago, had her nose chiseled into good shape, which made her pretty enough to capture a rich husband. It isn't every girl that knows how to manage an un shapely nose. They are having a sort of steam ship parade on the Atlantic now. There are one hundred, and fifty steamers bound for Baltimore to load with grain for Europe. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. LOST Irish setter. W. L. I. Attention. - The Sun New York. Y. M. C. A. The restaurant.

The gentlemen s driv ing race will also be an attractive feature, and it is thought there will b at least six entries. About the Pank. Mr. W. W. McDiarmid, editor ot the Lumberton Rebesonian, also Treasurer of Robeson county, writes as follows concerning the Wilmington Banks: "Ten or twelve years ago we visited Wilmington in the interest of a bank for this place, and having a warm personal friend who was then connected with the First National Bank, we went to him first, but were in formed that nation al banks could not operate branch banks, as they could not take real estate as collateral, and we were referred to the Bank of New Hanover, where, for the first time we met its former Presi dent, Mr. I. Br Grainger, with whom we were so favorably impressed that we commenced to deal with that bank. Af ter his death we found the present President, Mr. Bates, equally clever, and we continue to transact our business there. At The Bazaar. The interest in the Bazaar at the Y. M, C. A. increases, and last night the rooms were thronged. Every depart ment is complete and as attractive and tasteful as willing hands can make it. The entertainments given by the Amusement Committee are unique and never fail to attract a large audience. The Colonial room is filled with ar ticles of peculiar interest because of their historic age and association. , The fancy work is handsome and varied in designs, furnishing a fine op portunity for the purchase of Christmas gifts.

The News stand has on sale the latest issues of the New York, Boston, Rich mond, Raleigh, Charlotte and other papers. , ' Every department is complete, and the Restaurant is especially attractive, being supplied with everything tempt ing in the form of edibles at reasonable prices. - ; - COTTON FACTS AND FIGURES."

While the boat racing was going on in the river yesterday afternoon, a little white child ' i n a crowd of spectators standing on a wharf at the foot of Queen street, fell into the water and narrowly ercaped drowning. The river is about twenty feet deep at this point and as the child disappeared it was thought it was drowned. A colored man, who was among the searchers, however, peering under the wharf discovered the child, its head above the water, clinging tightly with both hands to the point of a charred pile just above the surface of the river. It was the work of a few moments to rescue the little one from its perilous position and re store it to the arms of its almost frantic mother. Tyroleise Carnival. The Executive .

The Kiver Lined With People to "Wit ness the Marine Contests -Shipping Gay "With Flags and Other Decora tionsPretty "Water Pictures. The number of visitors in the city cannot nearly be coniectured, but a faint idea can be formed from the dense masses that lined the wharves yesterday afternoon to witness the various con tests on the river. From the dock of the Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley Rail road to the Skinner Co.'s ship yard the crowds awaited the different races with heroic patience. Chairman Gleaves - and Secretary Moore, of the Amusement Committee, certainly have a right to be proud of the grand success of the second day's amusements. Tuesday's races attracted thousands; the marine exhibition yes terday drew itrtens of thousands. 1 he variegated costumes of the ladies, . mingled with the more sober tints of masculine garb, formed a pretty and harmoniously blended picture. Yet. notwithstanding the' number of specta tors at the river, not a man or woman or child of either color was misssed from the packed masses in Market street listening to the concert of the Germania Cornet Band. And this fact offers a pointer to the people who have come to Wilmington's free show for her friends. The Committee on the Marine con tests promptly boarded the steam tug Laurence, tendered for its use by Messrs. Alex. Sprunt & Son, at 12 m. and began to make preparations for the various parts of the programme. Considerable delay was caused by some misunder standing of orders, but the good na tured crowd bore it with amiable resig nation. Perhaps, being from the inte rior, most of them did not know that it wasn't just a way these watermen have, and it was all right. first race. This was a rowing race by ships' crews. Jhe scond and tmrd on tne programme being combined into one race for yawl boats. Entries: Norman's crew, Gladstone's crew, Kure's crew and Graham's crew. " ' The race course was about a mile and the contest was close and exciting and yells and cheers from the shore would greet the brawny oarsmen as one of the other of the favorites gained some slight advantage, tvery crew seemed to have its voiceful friends. When the buoy was rounded for returning on the home stretch, the boats were in a bunch, though two of them had slightly fouled each other in going down. The start- inc ooint was reached in pretty close order and the Graham's crew was award ed $15, and the Norman's and Glad stone's $10 ach; Mr. Kure's boat be ing ruled out as not conforming to the rules. second race. This was for pilot's boats boarding vessels from sea; prize a silver pitcher valued at $100. Entries, two boats; the first manned by Capt. John Sellers; Fulcher. Warren. Miritz and Neill Craig. The crew of the second boat were W, A. Grissom, T. M. Morse. Capt. C. B St. Georce and M. T. Thompson. The first was the "Fair and Easy" crew, and the second the "Cassie" crew. The boats made a fair start and went to work like veterans at the business, The Hindostan, a large barque, was the vessel to be boarded. There was no line out for Capt. Sellar's boat, though one was thrown too late to be caught This omission lost him the prize, as his boat reached the vessel ahead of his contestant. Capt. St. George fared better, as there was a ladder hanging out on his side, and catching to this he put his man, T. M. Moore, on board. THIRD RACB. This was a pilot skiff race, one mile; first prize, $25; second, $5. Entries-First crew, Capt. Neill Craig, W. Mmtz. Tom Sellars and Dave Ful cher. ' Second crew Capt. Sellars, Charles Smith, Bob Weeks and R. L. Piver. Third crew, Capt. St. George, Mike Thompson, Willie Grissom and Price Furpless. Capt. Neill Craig's crew were the win ners, and were awarded $25, and Capt. St. George's reaped the seGond prize, $10. - i fourth race. This was a small tug marine checker race; prize, a flag, valued at $5 ; course, one-half mile. - Entries Marie. Pastime, Laurence and Easton. The boats rounded the buoys beauti fully and to the intense and vociferous admiration of the multitudes in the fol lowing order and in the time given: Marie, 5 minutes and 58 seconds; Pastime. 6.20 ; Laurence, 7.09 ; Easton, 7.25. The Marie captured the flag. Perhaps the grandest and tnost im posing marine spectacle of the day was the big parade of the following boats, in charge of the Marie, Capt. Edgar Wil liams : Alexander ones, Blanche, Comj ton, Easton, Laurence, Chas. Killam, Pastime, F. and F., Oklahoma and Boss. ': Theymoyed gracefully up the river, chasseeing about, changing front for TAR WHOLE NO. 7,772 ward on first company, two files from left to rear, &c It was just a poem of beauty and a dream of fairy grace. They glided in and out, always pre serving the easy' motion of swans at play. . They evinced the readiness with which they responded to the helm, and approached so near to each other with out a collision. i: -- The marine exhibition will belong remembered. After the marine parade was over R. P. Bowdoin & Co., dredgers, pile drivers, and who have submarine diving done, held the crowd with exhibtions of submarine diving. The diver made several descents and brought up divers watches, doll babias, etc., and held them up to the enraptured gaze of the on lookers. That they came from the bot tom of the river of course "went" with many of the crowd. One fellow said the diver in his costume was a fac simile of his idea of the devil. - PRODIGIES IN PYROTECHNICS. A. Crowd Estimated at From 10.000 to 15,000 Congregate to Behold the Gor geous Glow of Fire-Works Prominent Portraits and Patriotic Pieces Dis played. The crowd, who rode and trudged through the sand out to the Marine Hospital on Eighth street, near Nun, to witness the display of fire-works, was variously estimated all the way from 10,000 to 15,000, and each individual of that vast assemblage was abundantly re paid for the tramp. Even those who were accustomed to grand exhibitions ot like character on occasions of na tional importance unite in affirming that no more admirable and wonder-inspiring an exhibition of the inventive genius of man has been made in any bouthern city. One enthusiastic visitor, who had-. brought his wife and daughters down, remarked 1 came 200 miles to see this Welcome business and I'm paid for com ing if I hadn't seen nothing else." To all the spectators, many of the features were novel, because the designs were en tirely new and had never been shown before. THE DISPLAY. The exhibition did not begin quite on time, as about 800 people were on the Wilmington & Weldon train that was due at 6 p. m., and did not arrive until 9, and a telegram was received asking the committee to delay the fireworks, as they were anxious to witness the show. So, the first piece was not fired until 8.45. The display began with shooting fire- balloons in the air and Bengal lights, &c, and down the programme of 23 pieces each succeeding performance in a fiery way eclipsed its predecessor in admiration-producing and awe-inspiring features. Where all were so brilliant it seems almost invidious to discriminate m ex cellencies, but a few will be briefly no ticed: "Wilmington Welcome Week" in three colors, delicate yellow, green and a beautiful red, was loudly cheered. Throwing bombs in the air and their breaking into myriads of scintillating stars, globes, dragons, harlequins, devils, and what not was wonderful. When the plain and readily recognized pic tures of Vance and Ransom, North Carolina's Senators, were shown up in the fire the crowd tiptoed with yelling, and when "Th Old North State loomed brightly forth in lurid legend the patriotic people grew fairly wild with screams of delight. Rockets were sent hundreds of feet into mid air, giving out bright corrusca tions; bombs full of constellations were projected 700 feet in the blue empyrean lighting up the ground for two hundred yards around and giving the spectators a weired appearance under their pecu liar illumination. There were batteries discharging almost every thing that could be imagined. The portrait of Hon. George Davis, a man of continental reputation and a citi zen of whom Wilmington is deservingly proud, provoked prolonged applause, But there was nothing the matter with the mirth producing "country cousins, true to life in garb and posture, so that you could almost hear them talk, and resoundingguffaws enlivened the stand ing people. The aerial thunderbolt was grand, and the cascade of fire, re sembling realistically a cataract of fluid fire falling over a precipice, was aston ishingly clever. But the piece that brought right home to every Wilmingtonian's gaze the fa miliar screed "S. H. Fishblate, .King Clothier," captured the confectionery, The joyous impression produced by this free amusement given by Wilming ton to her visiting friends will linger in their minds as long as memory remains enthroned. - Hornets Best Bifles. The Hornets Nest Rifles; from Char lotte, will arrive this morning, and .wil march immediately to the Y. M. C. A building, which will be their headquar ters during the day. They will stack arms in the large hall, and will be served with breakfast, dinner, and possibly supper by the ladies. OF AWKHTISINCU One Square One Day...'...". ; 44 .
