Harper on the steamer Wilmington, the trip be ing down the river to South port, thence to Fort Caswell and out to sea, re turning to the city in time for the boat to make the 5:15 and 7:30 o'clock trips to the pier this afternoon. Captain Harper promises every one a pleasant time and there is no doubt tnat witn favorable weather the capacity of the boat will be the size of the crowd. It is, as previously reported, very probable that the excursionists will have an opportunity to witness the target practice with the big guns at Fort Caswell. The Wilmington will leave her wharf for the excursion trip at 9:15 o'clock this morning. The powder for the Fort Caswell target practice wan carried down yes terday, and the targets will be carried out to sea this morning by the South port. There will be no 3 o'clock boat to the pier "this afternoon on account of the excursion. Back from the Phfflppiaes.

IT WAS A Q1NQERLESS GAME. Bat the Portsmoath Boys Promise to Give the Athletic Association Tesm All aid More Tkaa They Csa Attead to To-day. The Wilmington Athletic Associa tion team won the initial base ball game with the "All Americans." of Portsmouth, yesterday, the score being 11 to 3. As the score would indicate, the game was rather slow- and lacking in ginger, this being attributable largely, however, to the fact that the Portsmouth boys were very much fatigued after an all-night ride, besides having been forced to leave behind two or three of their best players. John Kaufman, their best pitcher, has been sick quite recently and had not on yesterday sufficiently recovered to go in the box and Hudgins, the All American's colt," as he is termed, pitched yesterday's game. And while by his work he showed that he has the making of a good pitcher, he was not equal to the emergency in pjzzling Wilmington's heavy bat ters. This in a large measure ac counts for the big odds in Wilming ton's score. Hudgins is only 17 years of age. Last night Brake, the pitcher for Max ton in the series of games with that town some weeks ago, was telegraphed for to strengthen the Portsmouth team. It is very probable that he will arrive here this morning and pitch this afternoon's game. And Person will be in the box for Wilmington; other than this the line up of both teams will be much as on yesterday. But the Portsmouth team declare that the game to day will be very superior to the initial one and boast that they will redeem themselves, asserting that they will win both the remaining games of the series. Yesterday's game was called at 4:15 o'clock. Wilmington was first at the bat and scored 4 runs, overwhelming with delightful surprise the host of Wilmington rooters. It was done in this way. Oldham was the first to the bat He made a safe hit ; Gwalt- ney hit down and went to first base by a wild throw: Kenna batted a fly to second base and was put out; Lie- Grand made a slow hit to the third bag and advanced Oldham and Gwalt- ney and on. wild tnrow went to third allowing Gwaltney and Oldham to score; Person batted ball to center and failed to score; Lambeth made a hit to third base; ball was muffed and he went to first base. An attempt was made to cut LambetV. off at second, and LeGrand scored; Branson hit to center, scoring Lambeth; Johnson knocked a fly to center and was out. Portsmouth's first time at the bat did not result in a single score. Long horne and Hune were struck out; Watts was given base. on balls; Arm strong was. hit by a ball and went to first, and Hampton was struck out. In the second inning neither team scored, and there were no plays of special note. Two scores each were made in the third inning, Person and LeGrand scoring for Wilmington and Hune and Watts for Portsmouth. LeGrand for Wilmington made the only score in the fourth inning. An unfortunate incident was a collision between Hune and Gwaltney; both were almost insensible for a few minutes, but the injuries to neither were really serious. An ugly knot was raised on Gwaltney's cheek-bone. The first home run was made by Schutte in the fifth inning, this being the only score made by either side in this inning and neither made a score in the sixth. Branson set the Wilmington rooters wild in the seventh inning by sending a ball to the left field and over the fence, scoring a home run, and when Portsmouth came to the bat Lang horn knocked, a one bagger, stole second and third bases and then Watts knocked a foul and Langhorn scored on an error. This was the last score made during the game by Ports mouth. Wilmington, however, scored one run in each of the eighth and ninth innings. The one in the eighth was a home run bv LeGrand, as was also the ninth, the latter being scored by Branson. The following is the score of the game by innings : 123456789 Portsmouth 0 0200010 03 Wilminirton 4 0 2 1 1 0 1 1 111 The line up was as follows : Wilmington. Portsmouth.

Receipts During Last Year Not Diicourag- log to Business Men A Statement. Yesterday was the last day of the 1898 99 cotton season; and receipts in the future will, according to the long established custom, be reckoned from September 1st. Col. Cantwell, secre tary of the Produce Exchange, labored faithfully yesterday and broke all pre vious records of his twenty odd years' experience as secretary of that organ ization by having all his reports post ed for the inspection of members at 6.30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The comparative statement of re ceipts for the month of August are published in the commercial columns of the Star this morning, and below is added the receipt! of the entire cot ton season for the last fiscal year with those of preceding years since 1890 : 1898-99 291,365 1897-98 323,273 1896-97 234,664 1895-96 176,447 1894 95 234,621 1893 94 189,840 1892 93 160,098 1891-92 161,510 1890-91 189,325 1889-90 131,916 The receipts for the 1898-99 season are the heaviest in the history of the port, with the exception of the preced ing season, when an unprecedented large yield was made in the territory contiguous to Wilmington. The re port is a very favorable one and shows steady increase for the past ten years in the cotton trade at this port. WILL BE CHEAP TO KEEP COOL. Cost of Ice by Installation of New Ma chlaery May be Cat One-Half. Raleigh News and Observer. By next spring the new ice factory to be erected here by Forbes & Co., of Richmond, and managed by Mr. E. L. Harriss, of this city, will be in operation. Mr. Harriss has just re turned from Philadelphia, where he contracted for the machinery. It will take some time to build the machine. When it is ready for shipment active work will begin here on the property bought for the purpose some months ago the old Ruffin Rales furniture factory. The instalment of this machinery and the operation of this factory will revolutionize the ice business in Ral eigh, and in fact in North Carolina. For if the ice plant here proves a suc cess a chain of machines similar to the one to be used here will be put in at Charlotte, Wilmington, and per haps other places. The machine will average a 200 pound block of ice every six minutes the year round, and will make ice at half the cost of the ordi nary machine those now in use here and elsewhere in the btate. it is Mr. Hams' intention to establish here a system of ice delivery at so much per week or per pound, instead of at so much per month. Though, of course, it will be sold by the pound also to to those so desiring a twenty -pound block for 5 cents. BY RIVER AND RAIL. Receipts of Naval Stores and Cotton Yesterday. W Ar.

The recent letter addressed to the cotton growers of Texas by Presi dent Hunter, of the State Ginners' As sociation, has been carefully consid ered by many of the ginners in North and South Carolina who are endeavor ing to get out a standard bale. The ad vice and suggestions are timely. Copies of the letter have been distributed, the full text of which is as follows: "I have watched with great interest the movement for the introduction of the standard bale. There seems to be a good deal of opposition to it, but it looks to me as if it comes from people who don't want us to make any lm provement unless we do it by buying their inventions. The objections I hear seem to me trivial and iar-ietcned, but they are so persistently urged that I think some practical man ought to answer them. "It is said that the presses are not stroncr enough to make a bale in a smaller box. A large number have been made in different places in Texas, Arkansas. Louisiana. G sorer ia. Ala bama and Mississippi, and not one of the presses was injured. The 24x54 inch box has been in use in Alabama for years, and has always given satis faction. Many of us make 700 to 800 pound bales in 28x58 boxes. Why can't we make 500-pound ones, or even larger, in 24x54 ones? It is not necessary or a good thing to make such large bales, lney are bad to handle and easily damaged, some say the compresses want us to do their work for them. The little dab of pressure we put on a bale would not ue a nea mie to a compress, 11 they could get the benefit of it, but they can't; they cut the bands off be fore thev press it. and it swells up . m r . IB a cam. The only thine we can do to help the compress is to make the bale a good size; they can't change me shape; we have to do that; all they can do is to reduce the thickness, and they can t do that properly unless we eive them the right size bale. mere is no need to come up so iar with the follow-block. If you are in the least afraid you have not pressure enough, come up only far enough to . - il - .-11 J. tL. 4 lie uui ; fcuo cum press wiu uu mo jrcaiu "Many farmers want a large bale. They think the buyers pay more for it. This is not true. On the contrary, they will pay more for 24x54 bales than for any other. They must over look the fact the more bales they make the more bagging and ties they will sell at the price of cotton.- It would be better all around if they would only bring 1,600 pounds of seed cotton to the em. We are all changing our boxes around here, and we are going to put only 1,650 pounds of seed cotton to a bale. If the farmers bring' more at first we will buy the excess of them until we get them to bring the right amount. "It is set up that this change is ureed by buyers, compressors, steam ship people, insurance men and spin ners, because it will help their ousi ness. Suppose it does. It costs us practically nothing and will certainly help the farmer very much, and if he makes money he will have more to spend, and he always spends it near home. It cost me about $7 to change mv box. I didn't chancre it to please the compresses or anybody else. I did it because I thoue-ht it good business. ''I thought a good deal of this mat ter and read a lot about it in the papers. and I think it a good thing, and I advised all my fellow ginners to adopt it and chancre their boxes to the 24x54-inch standard size before the season opens. I think we - shall . all have to do it anyhow, whether we want to or not. because the buyers will undoubtedly pay more for the 24x54-mch bale, and 1 believe in doing the right thing before it is forced noon us. "I have had assurance from some of the best cotton buyers thay they intend to nav more for the standard bales. If any of you. who have made the change think that the farmers are not getting nv benefit from it. write to me and I think I can refer your letters to people who will see that they do." A NEW ENTERPRISE. Acme Tea Chest Company, of Glasgow, Will Locate Sup ply Office Here. EXTENSIVE TIMBER PURCHASE Nearly Ten Thousand Acres 'Acquired in Bladen and Pender Counties May Lease Old C. F. & Y. V. Terminal. Steamer Line to Scotland. The Acme Tea Chest Company, of Glasgow, Scotland, with Mr. P. Stuart Brown as managing director and Mr. Will L. Miller, of Memphis, Tenn., as ocal manager, have decided to locate headquarters for America in this city and will open an office here. Mr. Miller, the local manager, has for some months been looking over the territory bordering on the Gulf and Atlantic coast for a point possess ing the best possible advantages for a supply of tynber, gum and other woods, such as are wanted for manufacture and for a good and convenient harbor for ocean steamers, as the company proposes to operate a line of vessels, for tbe transportation of the raw ma terial from this port. After visiting all the ports from New Orleans around the coast to this city, the company has finally decided to locate its business in Wilmington. Mr. Miller has been quietly at work up the Cape Fear river, buying lands and making other arrangements for the past several months, and in con versation with a Stab representative yesterday, id that he had acquired by purchase some twenty-five miles of river front lying along the east bank of the river, covering a territory in Bladen and Pender counties sufficient to give them a supply of timber for some years to come. He has in all about seventy-five million feet of stumpage. His purchases will aggre gate about 10,000 acres. The Acme Tea Chest Company, at present, has a large factory in opera tion at Glasgow, manufacturing tea chests of veneering, gum and other woods, very thin, being cemented crosswise, making a very light and substantial package. The Acme peo pie have also been recently experi menting with cement processes and machinery until they now have a very complete plant in . Scotland, and Mr. Miller says, in the near future, they expect to establish a plant of some kind here. Arrangements have about been con summated for a lease of the old Cape Fear, and Yadkin Valley terminal at Point Peter, and Mr. Miller says he expects to begin cutting logs this week. These logs will be brought to the terminal for the present until a cargo is accumulated, which will be about November 1st. At that time he expects to have a steamer from Glas gow for them, and other steamers to follow every sixty days as the busi ness progresses. They will also carry light freight for outside parties, and if freight can be secured sufficient to warrant it,a faster schedule will be in augurated. Mr. Miller has been supplying the factory at Glasgow for the past eight months from Norfolk, but he says the harbor charges, lighterage, etc., were very excessive, and in consequence of that he came to Wilmington where this expense is eliminated, as steamers can be loaded from the terminal. Mr. Brown, the managing director. was in Wilmington a few weeks since and went over the ground with Mr. Miller. He expressed himself as well pleased with the many advantages of the port and did not hesitate in loca ting his supply office here. Mr. Miller is no novice at the lum ber and veneering business, but is perfectly familiar with all branches of of the work and might be aptly termed a veteran lumberman. He and family will reside in Wilmington. To City Subscribers. City subscribers are earnestly re quested to report promptly at the Stab office every failure of the carriers to deliver their papers. In all such cases steps will be taken to insure promp and regular delivery Dm DICKSEY At his home In this city, No. 815 South Front street, last nignt at w.au o'ciock, Capt. J. W.
