At a recent meeting of the directors of the Wilmington Athletic Associa tion, tne following officers were elected : President Warren S. Johnson. Vice President James Sinclair. Manager Ed. S. Battle. Assistant Manager E. A. Metts. The manager ;was requested by the directors to correspond with the man agers of the teams of Charlotte, States ville, Durham, Raleigh and Tarboro, submitting a schedule of games to be played in Wilmington with return dates in those towns mentioned, which schedule is designed to begin about June 15th. Manager Battle has al ready complied with the instructions of the directors and upon a favorable" reply from the managers of the out-of- town teams, will depend to a great extent the formation of a first class ball team for' Wilming ton. The association his been in correspondence for some time with college players throughout Vir ginia, North and South Carolina, and have received replies which insures the services of a sufficient number of good players to give Wilmington a team which will be equal to and able to cope successfully with any in the State. This is saying a good deal in view of the fact that Charlotte and Statesville each: have exceptionally strong teams already signed, but there is every reason ; to believe that Wil mington will compare favorably with any of them. If the arrangement as to dates is made it will no doubt lead to the for mation of at least a quasi State League composed of the teams named. Interest in base ball this year in the State is at fever heat Large sums of money have been subscribed in each of the towns named for the organization of teams. The Association management has determined that Wilmington's team shall be in every way creditable to the city and will see that its affairs are managed with economy yet with a view to giving a r,fast article" in the sport A double battery of reputation will be employed, one of whom will beGwaltney the well known catcher. Doubtless first and second basemen and short stops will be secured outside of the city and "Jimmie" Jackson of this year's winniDg Horner team will be at second base. ! The outfield will be made up of the very best home ma terial available. ' i Manager Battle hopes to furnish in a few days the result of his cor respondence with the managers of the teams to whom he has written. SACRED CONCERT AT FIFTH STREET CHURCH.

Wilmington People Will Observe Astronomical Phenomena! i ! To-morrow. SUN WILL HIDE ITS FACE It WillBe Seen Through Smoked Glass and Improvised Instruments by Thoii sands Other Than Astronomers, : When to See It. 1 Widespread interest is .being mani fested in the coming great astronomi cal spectacle, the sun in eclipse, which will be seen in Wilmingtonj tomor row morning beginning about 7.30 o'clock and continuing until j af terj 10 o'clock. The period of comparative totality. will, however, begin1 at j$.46 o'clock and last for a little more than a minute and a half. During jthat short period the light of the Isun will 1 A. 1 A 1 HI i 1 uu uui uimu&i enurejy on ana mepne nomena will be marvellous. ! Wilmington does not lie in the ijbelt of totality proper but it will be inter esting for the average clt"z?a who till view the almost total obscurity of "'fOId Sol" with the naked eye land through various lenses and! smoked glasses. Astronomers are taking their stations all along in the belt j notably at ; Wadesboro, Norfolk.j Pine Hurst and Rocky Mouht and the event is regarded as; an im portant one in the astronomical world. The line of totality,! which is about thirty-five miles in! breadth passes directly across the StatS -and many of the most distinguished scien tists will be within her borders. It will be disappointing to many, however to know that the weather con ditions will likely not be Efavorafcle. The weather map indicates that cloudy weather will prevail, which, of course, will interfere with a clear view of; the eclipse. The only observations officially taken in Wilmington will be byjthe Weather Bureau, instructions for which have been received by Observer Fallon. A regular series of meteoro logical observations will be taken at frequent intervals, beginning at 56.01 o'clock and lasting until noon. These observations will consist in ascertain ing the change in the pressure, tem perature, direction and velocity of; the wind, humidity and cloudiness caused by the eclipse, if there be such, i The approach of the movement of totality is extremely impressive. The color of daylight changes as, it is: de scribed, darkness increases gradually ; the jet black outline of the moon ! en croaches on the dazzling disk of the sun until only a rapidly diminishing crescent of light remains. I As long as even a hair's breadth of this Cres cent exists the corona is invisible, 1 but presently a black of shadow is seen to approach swiftly over the surface of the earth, the sunlight completely; dis appears, and as if at the command of a wierd spirit, in an instant the corona bursts into view, magnificent in; ex tent indescribable in beauty, impress ive beyond compare. ' i Special Eclipse Forecast. Washington, D. C, May 26. East to south and southeast winds with higher temperature are indicated for Monday, morning over the path from wmcn a total eclipse of the sun will be visible. An exact forecast of the cloud conditions at that time, how ever, cannot now be made, but it is fairly probable that partly cloudy to clear weather will obtain. As the dis trict where the major portion of the observations is to be taken is nearly 400 miles in length, it is very prob able that they can be successfully made over the larger part of it Further special forecasts will be is sued Sunday at 10 A. M. and 2 P. M. Willis L. Moore, . Chief U. S. Weather Bureau. Teeth Knocked Out.
