The . third and last game of the series should have been played yester day, but the management decided tb have it postponed on account of the very bad condition of the grounds. However, at the solicitation of the spectators, the captains and managers of the teams consented to play an ex hibition game in order not to disap point the large number who were clamoring for it. The game will not be counted in the standing cf the clubs, and it was announced before the grand stand that all bets were de clared off. Despite the fact that a heavy rain fell during the early afternoon and the weather continued very threaten ing, a large crowd of spectators went out to witness the game. The dia mond was very sloppy and prospects for a swimming match on it seemed more encouraging than a ball game. However, a force of laborers with shovels and buckets "was put to work on it, and with the application of sev eral cart loads of shavings the condi tions were slightly improved. The crowd was good natured and waited patiently for the game to be called. The line-up of the home team was considerably changed from the order in the first two games. Stearnes went in the box and pitched a good game. Fenner proved a veritable backstop. The visitors put Battle in the box, but Wilmington jumped on to bis curves in the fourth inning and put him out of the business. He was replaced by Allen in the fifth, but he did very lit tle towards checking the heavy batting of the home team. Errors . were nu merous on account of the condition of the grounds, but Wilmington played better ball than Raleigh in every par ticular. The features of the game were the batting of Jones, who got a home run and two singles out of three times at the bat, the brilliant running catch by Summersgil of a line drive by Bern stein, and his general all round work, the fast fielding and stick work of Mc- Bride at short The eame was called at the end of fifth on account of darkness.

Record for Jane Has Been Very Gratify ing The Boat Trips Are Quite . , Popular. There is no better index, to the popu larity of a seaside resort than the record of the transportation company leading thither and if this be accepted wtihout question Carolina Beach this seasonis growing in faver with people. Capt. J. W. Harper, the popular mas ter of .the steamer Wilmington, the "State's pride,'! tells the Star that for the month of June this year ' he- has handled 1,200 more passengers to Car olina Beach than during the corres ponding period last year. This, in face of ; the terrible" storm that devastated Wilmington's beaches last season, proves conclusively that our resorts are still in popular favar and that the people have an abiding confidence in the city and her sea shore. ' Beach Arrivals. Yesterday's Carolina Central train brought in quite a number of people to spend some time at the beach. Among the number were Messrs. Z. M. Moore and W. F. Dowd and Mr. and Mrs. Chas. C. Hook, of Charlotte ; Mr. J. P, Leak and wife, of Rocking ham. To City Subscribers.
