i Up Sunday and Shipped Yesterday.

and buyers were doing a rushing busi
ness. "I i !
The little river schooners Argyle,
Samuel, Spray, Etta and the sharpies
Mystery, Annie, Col. Bogus and Rob

points down the river, all laden with
clams, most of which were sacked and
shipped yesterday to New York via
the A. C. L. and Carolina Central
Railways. I
The cargoes of these small vessels
in their entirely will make about six
freight car loads of 500 bushels each
and will net to the shipper from $1.00
to $1.25 per sack of one and a half
bushels. Hitherto, the market has
been considerably better than this and
large sales have been made this season
at from $2.00 to $2.25 per sack, but
with the advent of Spring the clam
gatherers North have resumed work
and their shipments are nearly equal
to the demand.

& Piflvott. C. M. Britton, E. E.
Ewing and J. T. Canady.

LARGE AUDIENCE WILL
GREET BRITISH BAND.
High Commendation by People and Press.
"Finnlgan's Ball" Wilt Afford Lots
of Fun Friday Night
Desirable seats for the grand
musi-
cal festival by the British Guards Band
at the Opera House Thursday niht
are being rapidly taken, and there is
no doubt that the largest audience of
the season will be in attendance! The
Band's tour of the United States, upon
which they recently entered, is prov
ing singularly successful, the press and
public according the highest praise.
The New York Weekly Musical Age
saVs:
"There was no question of the band's
success, certainly such music has not
been heard here for many years. The
individual players were more
cient ' than the , individual artists' of
even Sousa's organization. In unity of
action and in instantaneous response
to the baton of the leader, the band
surpassed any military musical organi
zation we have ever heard, and in this
we speak with authority, as we have
listened to ninety different bands' in
tier Majesty's service, and cannot re
call any that wasjsuperior or that was
equal to .Uieut. Uodfrey's .Band."
On Friday night of this week prob:
ably the best team in the line of Irish
comedy on the-American stage, ithe
famous original Irish comedians,
Murray and Mack, in their successful
comedyJ'Finnigan's Ball," will be at
uXr.. -rr
Tneir comedy, is
bright, brilliant and dashing, their
dancing is a revelation of grotesque
fun, while their specialties are unique
and startling. The "Ball" is a well
written and highly entertaining j skit
much to the order of Hoy t's "Stranger
in New York." The plot is not intri
cate, but the fun comes fast.
Advance sale of seats will commence
at Gerhen's to-morrow morning.
