Spleadld Maslcal Protramoie
, Artlatlcallj Rendered. V
The eighty-second anniversary cele
bration by the members of the Odd
Fellow fraternity ia Wilmington last
evening at the Opera House was in
every way characteristic of the spirit of
enterprise and completeness for which
the order is noted every where, and the
-event upon the" whole Wflcta great
credit upon the members of the com'
mittee of - arrangements,1 who have
worked assiduously for the past month
to make a sueceea of it.
The exerciser opened a little after 8
o'clock with a musical number, 'Two
ttosea," by a male quartette consisting
of Messrs. Q EL Cooper, first tenor; J.
a Williams, first bass, B. O. Banks,
second tenor: A. 8. Holden. v soond
bass. Then followed a fervent prayer
by the Rev. A.. D. McClure, chaplain.
and this was followed by a ''Hunting
Song," aweetly rendered by a mixed
quartette participated in by Mrs. W. L.
Latta, soprano; Mrs. Jas. D. 8mith,
alto; Mr.B a Banks, tenor, and Mr. J.
a Williams, basa. , '
Secretary B P. King of the officers
of the ioint meetin sr. then read the
proclamation aa is customary upon
such celebrations, and a duet, "Gently
Flows the River,? was superbly ren
dered by Messrs. ' Bank- and A. S.
Holden. - ".-
The usual anniversary cerettkOny
then came, and after a delightful ren
dition of The Bridee" bv the male
quartette, the Hon. John D. Bellamy,
Past Grand Master, presented in hsppy
maonerCoL Jno; P. Bruton, P. G.
M., of Wilson, N. C, and one of the
most distinguished members of the
rdr in the State.
Cl. Bruton spoke for about forty
minutes, dwellioe upon the benefits
aud beauties of Odd Fellowship, and
closing with a beautiful figure of
8-jeech enumerating the cardinal prin
ciples of , Odd Fellowship "Love,
Friendship, Truth, Qharity, Benevo
lence; five great virtues, which, like a
jewel on the stretched finger of time,
thine luminous forever "
Col. Bruton's speech is spoken of as
. , . a
one or tne very nest ever oeuverea
upon the occasion, of a lodge function
in this city. The Opera House was
dlled to overflowing and the speaker
was given most attentive and appre
ciative hearing.
"Come W here My Love Lies Dream-
log," (Foster), was next renderegjry a
mixed quartette, consisting of Miss
Carrie .White, soprano; Mrs. F. A.
Muse, alto. M Q. EL Cooper, tenor;

Beloved,' (Donxetti), was rendered by
Mrs. LatU and Miss Whit, soprano;
Mrs. 8mith and Mrs Ifase, altos;
Messrs. Cooper' and Banks, tenon,
and Messrs. Williams and Holden,
hnnftrs
Tne benediction by Rev, Mr. Mc

THE ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE.
Colonial Danes Are ArraaIof for a Most
Oetif atfol Trip Oa Next Wedaesday.
AaaoaacemeaU Made.
The North Carolina Society of Colo
nial Dames is very active in its prepa
rations for the annual pilgrimage next
Wednesday, May 1st, to the ruins of
8L Philip's church at Old Brunswick.
A meeting of the Society was held yes
terday afternoon in the Masonic
Temple, at which final arrangements
for tbe trip were made. - The steamer
Wilmington will leave her wharf at
9 45 o'clock and the fare fjr the round
trip wilLbe only SO cents for adults
and for children under 15 years of age
15 cents..
The Dames are determined to make
of the excursion an altogether agree
able and delightful affair, and a large
party ia expected. Those who con
template going are asked to carry
luLcheon with them and a supply of
water, as tbe supply about the ruins
is limited and inferior.
It ia hoped that no children will be
allowed to take the trip unless under
the care of some older person, as tbe
ladies in charge of the excursion can
not become responsible for their safe
keeping. 7
o the event the day is not favor
able to an outing of thiacharacter on

Thursday following, and the annual

Norfolk lost the game to Newport
news yesterday afternoon, in a score
of seven to twelve.
That is better news than the fact
that Wilmingson took tbe second
game from Portsmouth yesterday by
score of twelve to nine. Norfolk
has maintained a winning streak ever
since the opening of the season and
has stood at the top of the per centage
column and looked defiantly at her
more humble neighbors below. It is
good news, too, because Wilmington
has remained comfortably toward the
top and expects in the future to out
strip the "Sdippers from the good
ship Mary Jane" and take the pennant
position for itself an . expectation
which is reasonably grounded and
perfectly in keeping with the deter
mination of every man on Maaager
Peschau's team.
But to the game yesterday. It was
rather poor exhibition, and while
there is some manner of truth in the
general opinion that "any game is a
good one in which Wilmington wins"
there were 'numbers of people at Hil
ton yesterday who were far from sat
isfied with the article of ball fur
niahed. -
Martin, the plucky little pitcher for
the Brownies, went up in a balloon
in the second anil allowed the Giants
to score at wilL xne base runner wss
forced in on balls to tbe batter, and
the Portsmouth t wirier was hit all
over the garden. It looked much like
a walk over for tbe Jocala until the
fourth: inning, when "Cy" Vorhees,
for the home teamr went all to pieces
and was "wi Hawed" all over thd dia
mond. He steadied down later, how
ever, and pitched a fairly good game'
He is not in good trim yet. but. will be
a N.o. 1 later.
Tne sensational catch of the day was
made by Delaney in centre field in the
last inning when three Brownies were
on bases and a score looked inevitable.
He made a long run for the ball and
secured it after losing his footing and
falling to the ground. Stafford's work
at the bat was good and but for his
cleverness with the stick, Wilmington
might have lost the game.
In the first inning Cranston, Crock
ett and McGinnis were thrown out in
one, two, tnree order, and it waaanout
the same story for Weaver, Westlake
and Kemmer and Murray for the
Brownies.

Notes of the Home dime.
'Bill" Watson, a Wilmington boy,
played first base for the Brownies and
did well. Gates, who was injured in
Thursday's game, was unable to take
the field and Watson filled his place,
Kemmer going to. Gates' sition at
third and Watson to Kemmer's at
first. He was clever with ihe stick
yesterday, and would make a valu
able addition to Portsmouth's team
for the season. ' ' '
Clayton's error at short in yester
day's game fully demonstrated to tbe
Wilmington "fans" that the very best
in the business sometimes make mis
takes It waa Clayton's first for the
season, which is.a remarkable record.
for the difficult position, in which he
plays. - "
O'Steen will likely report at New
port News with Wilmington's team
next week. A telegram was received
from him yesterday.
- Umpire Clark continues to be all
right He is a favorite with the Wil
mington Vfans,' but sometimes
brushes us seemingly hard.
Foreman and either Thackara "or
Cranston will be Wilmington's battery
to day. You should see "Brownie"
pitch. If there is one thing Ports
mouth does dread it is Foreman,' He
is a bard proposition for any team to
solve.

SCO to 400 men find employment there
and from seventy-five to oneisundred
thousand feet of timber are cut per day.
The shipments average from five to
ten cars per 'ay and the establishment
of the mill at that point has done
wonders for the surrounding country.
Practically a new town has been made
of Bowden's and the A. C. L. station
has been moved nearer to the mill for
convenience sake
The company operates a large sup
ply store and a hotel in connection
tfith the extensive plant and every
thing is aa systematic as a government
department office. Mr. W. H. Mc-
Mu&en, ot Minneapolis, Minn., is the
Cleveland attentive manager and
treasurer of the company, and is a
man or wonderful executive and busi
ness. abiMfy.
The company Is now constructing a
railroad from Bowden's to Newton
Grove, a distance of about 17 miles,
and this is now practically completed.
It is laid with substantial iron and a
regular locomotive is run over the
track,
